Crap, basehit

Inning over

XBH to boot Crazy stuff is afoot.

Ronny actually got a hit?!

Me like DeRosa

Inning over

Just got in. I like what I see.

Stand pat. I think the players you have will turn it around, and it's kinda early to be making big moves (says the guy who just dropped Josh Barfield as his starting 2nd baseman for BJ Upton)

...and it was about damn time

Eucalis, the Greek God of walks.

Devils win!!!!

:shock: :? :cry:

Ducks win, take series. Woot!

Do it. Peavy is good, and it's good to go with the buy low/ sell high strategy in regards to Lee and Jones.

Virtually

Me too. The plan was to do only rounds 1-3. last week many people expressed interest in going further. But since we're only getting 1 pick a day now, that's going to be impossible. Oh my good God, I too am retiring if it goes any further. At this rate, we wouldn't even get round 4 done before the actual draft, so I doubt it will continue after the 3rd round.

as will the 14 devils fans around the tri-state area! They don't get much attendance, but there are lots of fans. People just don't like driving to the meadowlands, except for 8 Sundays a year. I can't believe their solution to this was building an arena in Newark. There are three NY teams that play multiple games a week and aren't located by any convenient form of mass transportation, and all three struggle drawing crowds. Agreed. I love the Devils, but I just don't get to many games. Newark was not a good idea, though the artist renderings of the new stadium look pretty awesome.

Agreed. Quite frankly, I think Drew is better than Peralta.

Dare I say, Mark Redman bizarre? Probably not

Devils win! Woot!

I'd rather keep Cedeno than acquire Aybar, as I don't see a lot of difference between the two. Blanton would be nice, but I don't think our OBP-depleted lineup can afford to lose Murton. If minor league numbers mean anything, Aybar will be the superior offensive player. Cedeno: .265/.316/.376/.692 (1924 AB) Aybar: .311/.356/.454/.810 (2216 AB) Aybar got help from the Texas League, California League and the mountain PCL division. Arkansas is +40% HRs relative to the TL. Salt Lake is about +15% HRs relative to the PCL. Rancho is about league average for the Cali which is a heckuva lot higher than the FSL average. Aybar's entire minor league career was at the highest offensive league in the level, and most of the time in one of the highest parks in that league. His minor league numbers have been heavily aided at every stop. Cedeno's are at the opposite end most of the time. Aybar's PECOTA .263/.306/.382 Ronny's PECOTA .265/.302/.388 Pretty damn close. What is it that people like about Aybar then? Not trying to start anything, I'm just curious. Aybar hit very well in the minors year in and year out. Ronny really only became a prospect 2 years ago. Edit: Their career minor league lines: Aybar- .311/.356/.454/.810 Cedeno- .265/.316/.376/.692 No offense, but your post showed you did not read what you quoted at all. :D Am I missing something? :? A) You edited to add career minor league lines, when they were already in the initial post B)Meph explained Aybar's league and park effects. In response to the question of why people like Aybar, I agree with Meph, people love his tools, especially his defense. As well as the fact that most people don't take into consideration league/park effects. D'oh. I feel dumb
