Marlon Anderson - 1B - Nationals

 

 

Marlon Anderson's two-year deal with the Nationals is worth $1.85 million.

He'll make $925,000 in each of the next two seasons. "Marlon Anderson has been one of the best left-handed pinch hitters in baseball the last three years," GM Jim Bowden said. "One of our goals this offseason was to improve our bench, especially from the left side of the plate. Marlon's signing addresses this issue, and adds a veteran presence in our clubhouse." Nov. 18 - 4:05 pm

 

Wow, Perez must be a lot better than this guy to make almost 3 times as much money.

Actually, Marlon sucks pretty bad. Neifi isn't worth 3 times as much but te Nats aren't exactly getting a bargain either.

This sets the market for Macias!

Well, how many positions can Marlon play? :roll:

Can Marlon catch the ball?

 

2 years 1.85 million doesnt seem bad...but then again this is the franchise that let Bowden sign Guzman for however much he did

.264 .316 .391 in 2005, .237 .269 .379 in 2004. .260 .310 .380 from 2002-2004. You can't find somebody to give you that line with 200 at bats for a 1 year $400,000 deal? GM's are always whining about trying to find payroll space, yet they repeatedly overpay for garbage. What is the point of giving him a 2 year deal? Anderson is the type of guy that should be getting spring training invites, or at the most, 1 year $500,000 contracts. He's eminently replacable.

 

 

The sad thing is, he's significantly better than Macias:

.254 .274 .316 in 2005, .268 .292 .376 in 2004, .252 .279 .350 from 2002-2004.

I don't have the energy to complain about other teams moves, so.....

I'm thinking Marlon is starting at 2b as soon as Vidro goes down. Hard to imagine that Brendan Harris couldn't post those numbers even without being left-handed.

Goony, who are some mid-level players you DO like? ARe there any?

Cheap ones. Young ones. Players with at least one useful skill.

[nucubs]

neifi is good with the glove... and actually comparable to anderson with the bat (plus he's a switch hitter). if he's used off the bench as was the plan all along (walker and nomar are healthy last year he sees extremely limited action), dare i say neifi is actually a good player for the cubs to have???

Not at the price the Cubs are paying him. They could find a good glove no hit SS for less.

You might but I certainly won't.

I realize that, I just wanted some names that interest him, that's all.
