    Available now at BP, no work for me today... The "rookies" projections: Cedeno .274/.320/.387, 13.4 VORP in 473 PA Murton .281/.343/.418, 8.5 VORP in 542 PA ...more to come...

    In in familiar summary, Jones has an inadequate bat that only looks good with Hendry's "career view" sunglasses; and his defensive value is worth less to the Cubs in Wrigley (and with a high K pitching staff). Maybe we should buy the Cubs management a BP subscription for next year.

    Interesting mapping of plate coverage... looking at how much better (or worse) than league average hitters are at turning pitches in a specific location into hits: The good: http://www.fangraphs.com/custom%20graphs/Albert%20Pujols%20vs%20League.png and the Ugly: http://www.fangraphs.com/custom%20graphs/Corey%20Patterson%20vs%20League.png

    Dr. Andrews is a trooper... Houston Chronicle "I threw 20 balls and took about 15 swings on videotape and went and saw Dr. Andrews, who was a heck of a trouper for seeing me in his hospital bed after a heart attack," Bagwell said. "We had a good conversation. He examined me, and that's about the extent of it right now." The Astros face a Jan. 31 deadline for filing an insurance claim that would pay the club about $15.6 million if Bagwell decides he can't play. Bagwell is scheduled to make about $17 million this year and insists he will to try to play.

    From today's Sun-Times: "We have enough to line up and have a starting lineup,'' said Hendry. Perhaps that should be their marketing slogan this year...

    Per Rosenthal: Brad Lidge, shortstop Adam Everett and either outfielder Jason Lane or Willy Taveras was the leading offer...

    Using slightly different numbers, but the same premise: one team with the same hitter in all nine spots vs. a "typical" lineup with the same overall team averages...BP found: 9 identical player lineup: mean 785 runs (range: 657-923) "Typical" lineup: mean 801 runs (range: 665-934) Not a huge difference, about 16 runs. The article goes on to find minor advantages with various lineup constructions - one or two wins - with high OBP players at the top of the line-up (or at least stacked consecutively) being most effective.

    From ESPN chat w/ Baseball America 12/4:
  12. JGalt73
    The Dodgers also threw in Antonio Perez, minor league 2B/SS, who saw some action in LA last year.

    Anyone else seriously wonder if anyone in the Cubs office does anything remotely scientific like this in trade evaluations?
  14. JGalt73
    This is definitely a positive, but it needs to be pointed out that the Venezuelan Winter League is typically between AA and AAA in talent level.
  15. JGalt73
    Hopefully the SF Chronicle has extra-special Dusty insight...

    12/8 Gammons on Bradley: "The A's were interested. The Cubs thought they had a Todd Walker deal, and the stakes have risen. Watch out for the Blue Jays."
  17. JGalt73
    Thanks. That's a nice one to see.

    BP's Christina Kahrl on the Mabry pickup:
  19. JGalt73
    BP lists Brandon Sing as the #2 candidate on the possible Rule 5 target list: With the 3 pitchers coming off the 40 man in the Pierre deal, are the Cubs allowed to now add 2 players to the list?
  20. JGalt73
    The Marlins were thought to be trying to find a better proposal for Pierre than what the Cubs were offering, rumored to be pitcher Sergio Mitre and Double-A pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Reynel Pinto. From Tribune.
  21. JGalt73
    From rotoworld: The Red Sox, Braves and Rays are reportedly discussing a three-team deal that would send Edgar Renteria to Atlanta, Andy Marte to Tampa Bay and Julio Lugo to Boston. Dec. 6 - 10:12 pm et Source: Boston Globe Can the Cubs match Marte for Lugo?
  22. JGalt73
    Why? Was Dusty on the radio too? No, but basically what Rogers said was Baker had a meeting with the media and somebody asked him what he thought about Murton and Cedeno and Baker's response was something like"If I dont play them I dont play young people." and then went on to justify how he plays young people like the bull pen and back in his days with the Giants. Typical Baker. Baker, from Cubs.com: "If I don't [play them], I'll be accused of not liking young players," Baker said, referring to one of the criticisms he's heard. "Look at my bullpen last year -- it was the youngest bullpen in baseball. You've got to give the young players a chance to play sometime. Certainly you have to live with some mistakes."

    It's the new 2 GM structure soon to be employed by many teams including the Red Sox. Fixed. Thanks!

    Per MLB.com radio.

    Stark on ESPN.com: "They've talked to Tampa Bay about Julio Lugo, but have minimal interest in Aubrey Huff to fill their right-field vacancy. They're believed to have made Juan Pierre their No. 1 target, but they hadn't even met with the Marlins as of early Tuesday afternoon. "
