Reggie Sanders

[HoopsCubs]

I'm wondering that if Hendry is unable to swing a trade for an impact RF or get Brian Giles, then could we be seeing this fairly productive (career OPS .835), though injury-prone RF wearing Cubbie blue in 2006.

 

Despite being 37, I've got to believe he would be preferred on a 1-year deal than paying multi-year deals to guys like Jacque Jones or Juan Encarnacion.

[YearofDaCubs]

Yeah, we'll ride Reggie to the WS. :roll: The second coming of Burnitz.

[CuseCubFan69]

Whoever gets Reggie goes to the playoffs.

[YearofDaCubs]

Whoever gets Reggie goes to the playoffs.

Yeah, because he took the Pirates there 3 years ago.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Yeah, we'll ride Reggie to the WS. :roll: The second coming of Burnitz.

 

The had pretty good stats last year...

 

.271/.340/.546

 

14 SB with 1 CS

 

 

I hope the Cards resign him.

Me too. :twisted:

[YearofDaCubs]

He's 37 though and he can break down at any time. This is not the direction the Cubs should go.

Exactly.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

I bet the Cards sign him for about 1yr - 3m. I think he's a good "value" signing.

Those are good stats for a corner outfielder? lol please keep him.

For 4m - yes.

[Proven Veteran]

.886 OPS would have looked very good on the Cubs last year. :(

[Jehrico]

I wouldn't mind him as our premier PH off of the bench...however, Dusty would be too tempted to start him over Murton. And for that reason, no thanks...

Yes for his salary they're pretty good. I'm not quite sure what you're laughing about.

An .886 OPS would have placed him right about 20th in the National League last year, 13th in the AL.

It's better than Bobby Abreu, Cliff Floyd, Shawn Green, Luis Gonzalez, Jose Guillen, Carlos Lee, Hideki Matsui, Delluci, Mench, and many other quality corner outfielders.

 

Elite? No. But well above average. I don't want Reggie Sanders, but it's ridiculous to suggest that those are poor stats for a corner outfielder.

Yeah, I love that almost 3:1 K/BB ratio, the .340 OBP, and 93 games played this past year.

 

Old Man River can swing for the fences, i'll give you that. his SLG is nice, but OPS is overrated. counting SLG and OBP points the same is ridiculous.

 

calculate 3*OBP + SLG and see where he ranks. doesn't look so good then, but i guess when you look at the wrong stats, anyone can look good.

 

he's cheap? who cares. corner outfield spots are about production, not saving money.

Right. I know I would rather pay $12M for an .886 OPS than $4M. Brilliant.

 

You can think counting OBP and SLG the same is ridiculous if you want, but the OPS calculation isn't seen by most as "ridiculous." Obviously it's not perfect, but it gives you an idea that he was a pretty solid corner outfielder.

 

When you look at the wrong stats anyone can look good? Who's to say you aren't looking at the wrong stats.

 

The fact of the matter is he posted a stat line and said they were pretty good, which they were. You laughed at him, basically saying they were terrible for a corner outfielder, when they aren't.

I agree OBP is more important then SLG but 3*OBP is a bit extreme. OBP*1.5 + SLG would be more of a "mainstream" view a player hitting value. I'm not saying Sanders is great but he's not that bad.

who's to say i'm not looking at the wrong stats? billy beane and paul depodesta. they've looked at far more relevant data than just about anyone. believe what you want.

 

he posted a stat line that showed average BA, average OBP, and good slugging.

 

that's supposed to impress me? :?

no, sanders isn't that bad...he isn't that good either. he just doesn't have much other than power. when the power goes, his value will plummet. not having plate discipline will see to that (just ask Sammy Sosa).

Sure, it's a risk, that's why he only costs like 3m. Not every player on a team is going to be prefect. But yeah, if I were the Cubs I would rather go with Murton in LF - Sanders can however play RF :wink:

[YearofDaCubs]

Bottom line our OF would not be good enough with Murton, Corey, and Sanders. Actually, it will be as good as last year..ranked last.

he's a good fit for the cards. veteran player who puts up similar numbers year after year. i'm just waiting for the cliff. i'd rather have vets like him than holly, macias, and neifi. he's in great shape for his age (injury this year nonwithstanding).

[indifferent]

Blaming Reggie for his broken leg caused by his collision with Edmonds is like blaming Prior for the come backer. Had nothing to do with his age.

 

Rolen on the other hand, starting to become a pattern...

when did anyone blame the injury on his age? :?

 

i just said he was in good shape, even with his injury. :?
