    Fred, do you have your own little database you work with and update? Cause I would sure like to get a look at that thing.
  2. Rob
    He's up to .167 now.
  3. Rob
    Nah dude, it makes perfect sense. L L R R L L R R S The S is for switch (obviously), cause we know Neifi has first dibs.
  4. Rob
    Well this is certainly the sort of place that'll help with Marshall limiting his runs allowed.

    I could easily think of several dozen hitters I'd rather have up than Jeter. Care to name a few? I would also take Pujols also. excluding ortiz and pujols: derrek lee, a-rod, travis hafner, manny ramirez, carlos delgado, todd helton, jason giambi, jason bay, vladimir guerrero, mark teixeira, miguel cabrera, ken griffey jr, morgan ensberg, lance berkman, adam dunn, aramis ramirez, andruw jones, jim edmonds, chase utley, david wright, chad tracy, richie sexson, paul konerko, brian giles, brian roberts, michael young, pat burrell, gary sheffield, jeff kent, geoff jenkins, nick johnson, jhonny pheralta, troy glaus, david delluci, bobby abreu, matt holliday, miguel tejada, mike sweeney, cliff floyd, hideki matsui, randy winn, jason varitek, victor martinez, and jermaine dye. And I'm not sure I wouldn't take a few people coming out of retirement... Larry Walker certainly... maybe even Tony Gwynn or Don Mattingly

    Amazing how you joined after the 2005 regular season, and have gotten 4376 posts until now... Especially in the off-season! I've been here a season and a half and I only have around 5,500. I got a rock. :cry:

    Yeah, I decided to go way over the top and make some deals instead. All in all I gave up: Mauer Harden Bonds Tejada Loretta For: Willingham Johan Santana Beckett Peralta Utley Yay for wheeling and dealing!

    In this particular league the scoring for hitters is AVG, OBP, R, HR, RBI, and SB. So anyway, I have Joe Mauer behind the plate. He's not a bad hitter by any means, but most of his doubles power simply doesn't show up in this league. His AVG and OBP should be pretty good though, but the lackluster lineup he's in wont afford him a lot of R or RBI. And Josh Willingham is sitting there on the waiver wire, just begging to be picked up. He should get a ton of playing time between catcher and left (he'll almost certainly end up with more PA's than Mauer). He's got pretty good HR power and good OBP, but his AVG can't stay this high. That said, he should be batting behind Jeremy Hermida and Miguel Cabrera for most of the year, so his RBI opportunities should be pretty nice, even if he wont get knocked in a lot due to the people behind him. Normally this wouldn't be much of an issue for me. I'd pick up Willingham and trade Mauer for whatever value I could get for him. Unfortunately, this is just a six team league, so nobody else is really in need of a catcher badly enough they'd give me an upgrade anywhere. Would you drop Mauer for Willingham?

    Roger Cedeno was in pretty much the same boat, wasn't he?

    Then it becomes a matter of degrees. Wood's contract isn't that big a deal cause we can afford to overpay a couple guys and still be fine, Kendall's contract becomes the hands down worst because Oakland never has any money, etc. If you're taking that route, I'd say Helton's contract is the worst. Talk about crippling a team for the foreseeable future...

    Positional scarcity should be a factor. A SS with an .800 OPS is worth a lot more than a LF with an .800 OPS. On the other hand, how many SS make even half as much as Jeter? Tejada and maybe Furcal? I'm hardly arguing that Jeter isn't overpaid. I just didn't like the formula being used to determine it.

    There are only a few instances where walking him would decrease run expectancy. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with less than 2 outs comes immediately to mind. But aside from a few situations, I think we're best of going after him. Of course we don't want to give him any "challenge" pitches, cause he'll win that bet most of the time, but I don't have a problem with throwing low and away and making him beat you.

    Kevin Milwood might make a run at it pitching in that little band box in arlington this season...

    Does Denny Neagle still have any money coming? I know they were going to go to court....

    I'm 6' 245 lbs and built like a tank. Decent reflexes, soft hands and a cannon arm with no accuracy whatsoever. And I run my 40 at just around 5 flat. I always played third until we finally got a guy who was looking like brooks robinson over there, and I shifted over to first. I guess I'd be the backup corner infielder/ power righthanded bat off the bench.

    I really wish we would be more patient with Lowe pitching... he rarely ever lets that ball stay in the bottom of the zone.
  18. Rob
    Well that sure sucks...
  19. Rob
    I can't decide if it's a good play by Mueller to just get that one knocked down or if it was something he should've had.

    Z makes him look foolish!

    Threat ended in Houston. Going into the bottom of 8, Mil 10 Hou 12
  22. Rob
    In Houston Wild pitch, runners on 2nd and 3rd with two outs in the eighth... down 10-12 with a full count in the eight inning. Hall up, Lidge pitching.
  23. Rob
    In Houston, Runners on 1st and 2nd, two outs. Bill Hall up and Lidge pitching. 0-1 count. Still down 10-12

    Did this place crash for anybody else?
