    Definitely. I've been looking for something similar to do like this, actually.

    Pujols is a good defensive 1B though. I don't personally think he's worthy of a GG, though. 1B typically doesn't wear down players. Putting him at DH would undoubtedly decrease his value.

    Yep. Of guys making more than their first contract, he's probably the cheapest. Take out LaRoche, Howard, and Morneau, and the average is just over 9.8m.

    Actually, I calculated just first-basemen for some reason. I was using salaries listed on thehardballtimes player pages, so that might be off.
  5. Drew Doughty
    Just over 6.9m.

    From the Denver Post... The only good thing about John: he hit a HR in the 1 Cubs game I went to in '06. Didn't he hit a big HR against the Cardinals in that first series where we swept them? I don't think so. He hit one against the Reds on ESPN in the first series of the year though. http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/gl.cgi?n1=mabryjo01&t=b&year=2006

    when he makes me feel like he deserves two more typing motions.

    No. St. Louis improved over last year (addition by subtraction at worst, significant improvement at best). They should still be the favorites.

    they want to make sure they can still prop up the dead corpses at their defensive positions in case the players die of old age during their contracts.

    Moneyball. 3 Nights in August would have been better if done by a different writer, imo. The thought behind it was great, but I don't think Bissinger did a very good job with it. I have quite a few baseball books I still need to read...

    Mats or none.

    That's an interesting bonus.

    There is some reason to hope Dempster will rebound. His LOB% was at an unusually low mark of 63.3% That's well below average and it's a significant drop from his previous two seasons. It's an 8% drop from his career mark. An improvement there could be expected. His BABIP was also unusually high despite a drop in line drive percentage. So his season could have been a statistical anomaly. I think he should be low on the depth chart though. Wood, Eyre, Howry, and Wuertz should all be ahead of him as closer/setup guys.

    In Baseball Mogul, I put Novoa on the trading block and the Astros gave me Clemens & Buccholz for him. I thought it was hilarious. Jones + bp arm for Bailey & Dunn plz 8-)

    Chargers.

    What are the chances Ryno takes over after Sweet Lou retires? hopefully 0%, after reading some of his columns on yahoo i don't want him anywhere near the cubs. Interesting. I hadn't read any of those. Judging purely from his playing days I figured he'd be a pretty good option. He'd make a terrible major league manager. Seriously, I'm fully expecting him to do a very, very poor job, and I'd rather have had him scout or be a hitting/fielding coach than an actual manager of a team in our system. He's way too archaic and old-school for my tastes. His Yahoo.com writings look like Joe Morgan chats. Yeah, I'm for someone with no baseball instincts whatsoever that just bases every decision on statistics. The ideal manager wouldn't even need to be in the dugout, really. He could just make phone calls from his mom's basement. I realize you're just using hyperbole to make your point -- but who here is suggesting anything like that? We don't want a guy who separates himself from the game, just a guy who isn't a complete moron when it comes to basic statistics. We dealt with that for 4 years with Dusty, and Sandberg comes across as a jackass in his Yahoo! articles. No thank you. Good for him that he's a minor league manager, but I'd much rather him be a hitting coach -- as has been suggested.

    Ohka is a free agent. Their fifth starter is Claudio Vargas, I think. It's a nice rotation, though.

    heh, weird. I just stumbled upon some Sosa memorabilia in my drawer and put it back up on one of my shelves to display. It was 3 Sosa cards in a little display case that I got for my birthday in 2000 or 2001.

    Colbert Report, though both are solid.
  24. Drew Doughty
    low 3's ERA, lots of K's. I don't think he's going to be Cy-Worthy, but he's a top tier pitcher imo

    It's also pretty lame that you're arguing that he was only motivated in 2006 because it was his free agent year, when he's had two other seasons just about as good. Okay, maybe it wasn't a motivational problem. Maybe he's just a player who's subject to the occasional 2-year slump. Either way I wouldn't give him $136M. I don't think anyone here would either, at least not until other options were explored and exhausted. I don't think Soriano is as good -- or at least not as patient -- as he was last year, but he's a pretty solid hitter. I think he strugged in Texas because he was mishandled by the organization. It could be argued that LF was less strenuous on his body too, though I don't have anything to back that claim up.
