What does people think of this for Pujols in a BL - James Shields, Carlos Quentin, Chris Ianetta. The 2 guys I would cut are not much of a consideration as...
I think you should take the chance he stays a rookie. Although, I made the offer so I might be biased :) I think Texas has a boatload of C-1B and have to...
Any thoughts on Lind? Is he a keeper? I believe if your rebuilding he's a keeper but what does the majority think? So far since he's been recalled he's been...
I think he's a keeper. This season resembles more what could have been expected from him based on his minor league numbers. ... [Non-text portions of this...
looks like a keeper to me... ... From: Brad Smith To: scoresheet-talk@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:27 PM Subject: ## Lind a Keeper? Any...
You're nuts. First of all, Posada and Hudson should *not* be cut. They are very valuable. Second, Pujols needs to pull in a *lot* more than this. Quentin needs...
I would want more than that, too. And I agree that Posada and Hudson still have value. On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 2:53 PM, Dr Andrew J Cleary ... [Non-text...
He's borderline, but likely a keeper in a rational league. Pros: Reasonably young (25), with decent pedigree (3rd round pick, top 100 prospect, nice debut cup...
Even if you think your last two keeper spots are weak, you have to remember you are trading 1 for 3 long term and you are losing 2 keeper spots every year, not...
I can see the arguments for and against. I like Ramirez a lot, and the guys you're giving up are worthless come September 2, so that's the argument for. But...
I remember Dave Kingman and Don mattingly playing 3B early in their career also. Jose I remember seeing the rookie Jim Thome playing 3B in Winter Haven ! Can...
+1 And I love me some Chris Ianetta. I think he's the best player you're getting back. Better than Quentin, a lot better than Shields. And I still don't...
Get him to throw in a draft pick and take the deal. Max will be playing catcher for someone soon. The draft pick will always be there for you and you can get...
One thing I've learned is never count on a catching prospect to come through. Or a toolsy international teenager. Sandoval is ahead of both of them right now....
Sandoval is not really, or not necessarily, a C prospect. He was moved there this year (or last?) from 3B -- probably because of his size but also perhaps...
I let go of Ramirez last year, because I had four other prospects to protect. I really can't beat myself up about that. I know he hit even better in AA than he...
Yeah, make the deal. Likely, you will have gained nothing and given nothing. But if you get lucky and Ramirez either falls short of ABs or makes a MLB club...
Thome played 3B for a partial year when he first came up, and three more full years. He actually was moved not because he became too big; but because the Tribe...
Not that it necessarily relates to Sandoval, but Mark McGwire was also a 3B: College, Olympics, Minors and Rookie Year in MLB. Carney Lansford actually...
Make a deal for Giambi and have him platoon with Glaus in OF, while DeJesus is on my bench and comes in as a D sub?? My current lineup is: Kinsler 2B Huff 3B ...
Yes. Considering the range and error penalty, both DeJesus and Hinske are better plays in the OF than Giambi. One of them should start over Glaus, as well. A...
Just to be clear, McGwire won his Rookie of the Year award as a first-baseman - his first full year when he hit 49 homers. He played 145 games at first as...
Giambi would have an OF rating of 1.87, which is .30 worse than DeJesus (2.17) If you accept the .10 defence = .055 OPS rule of thumb, this is the equivalent...
Should I be platooning Huff/Glaus then? I already do so with Pena/Konerko & Ibanez/B Francisco.... Thanks for the info....I have only used Glaus for 1 week in...
Glaus has whopping +.126 platoon adjustment against LHP, so he should definitely be starting against lefties. Huff has a -.070 platoon adjustment against LHP,...
