    The guy that seems to have figured out the formula has him as a 2B. They are thrown in with the third basemen, though. Also, some dumb stats are used for the rankings. A little bit of the rankings Bottom 5 Type A's Mike Lowell ----- 79.29 Jason Bartlett Orlando Cabrera Scott Rolen Melvin Mora ----- 69.29 Top 10 Type B's Adrian Beltre ------ 68.57 Placido Polanco Chone Figgins Mike Aviles Aaron Hill ----- 64.6 Jose Lopez Howie Kendrick Robinson Cano Mark DeRosa ----- 60.25 Brendan Harris The data was last updated on June 11. This should be taken with a grain of salt, but he seems to have gotten it right the last two years.

    That's if they're certain they won't offer arbitration. And even if they won't, I would expect them to use it in the negotiations anyway. They don't have to tell other teams they won't offer him arbitration. They might end up taking less if they don't plan to offer it, but a team will have to be prepared to pay dual draft pick price. I really don't think DeRosa is going to be Type A

    IIRC, the guy that predicts the Elias rankings came out with a new prediction for this offseason just a few weeks ago. DeRosa was not a Type A

    Fun fact: I hit with Michael Yani for about forty-five minutes one time. Did not realize he had qualified for Wimbledon.

    Gameday has him throwing an 88 mph change up and a 80 mph 2-seam fastball. Whoops

    Hes been at the core of the rallies the past 2 games, so he gets a pass here. Oh no, he is one of my favorite Cubs this season for some reason. Somebody pointed out yesterday that it seemed like whenever a big hit was needed, Andres Blanco got an at-bat sometime during the rally.

    Yet another important at-bat for Andres Blanco

    It's probably his best chance but I'd still be surprised if he even gets to the final. I'd pick Murray to beat Roddick in the semifinals if he even makes it there (Roddick was bounced in the second round, the quarters and the third round in the last three years). We'll see. Roddick hasn't made a final since 2006 and has only made four in his career (the U.S. Open win and three losses to Federer) so even with a favorable bracket, I'm not too confident in picking him to make it. I know I know. Part of it is that I pick Murray every time and wanted to mix it up. But, Roddick has been playing a lot better lately. I never would have expected him to get to the fourth round at the French. Won a bunch at the Queen's Club before having to retire. Took Federer to three sets at the last two tournaments that Roddick played before the French. One was on clay and one was on hard. Couple that with a surface that favors him and a pretty easy draw, I wouldn't be too surprised to see him make the finals.

    This is probably Roddick's best chance to win a major for the rest of his career. I like Federer to beat Roddick in the finals, though. EDIT: Of course, I have picked Murray to win three of the last four majors, so he'll probably win now.

    David Patton has three wins. Randy Wells has zero.

    Whoever does the highlights, I want the Blanco interview in there, too.

    I've been really optimistic the last couple of days, but I am getting a double-play feeling here.
