    Murton and Jones are a combined 3 for 28(2 singles, 1 HR, w/ 2 BB) after Opening day.

    My fantasy team applauds you Rusch.

    BP's metrics have him dead average, 100 rate and 0 FRAA

    Rolen has been the better player to date, but now going forward I have to take Ramirez. Ramirez has had injury concerns, but nothing that has impacted his performance or caused him to miss significant time. Rolen's serious shoulder injury casts doubt on him being able to return to his previous performance. Add in that Ramirez is entering his prime while Rolen will be leaving his, and I'll take Ramirez.

    This is why managers have a terrible job. The right decision is what is SUPPOSED to happen. They can do very very little to help the team, but quite a bit to hinder it. This is why all managers, including bad ones like Dusty, are criticized more than they are praised by their fans.

    How can anyone ask this question seriously? Cabrera is the next big superstar of this league. Actually, with the numbers he has put up in his first 2.5 years, he already is one at the young age of 22. How do you know that Murton isn't going to be a superstar as well? As for Cabrera being 22, we have seen with Latin American players that what they claim their age to be isn't always true (re: Rafael Furcal). Murton is only 24, 25 in October and Cabrera is about to turn 23. There's not really much of a comparison between the two players. Cabrera is already vastly superior. If you have a chance to get him, do it. My point is that we don't even know what Murton can do over a full season yet. If he ends up being a step below Cabrera offensively, then there is no point in getting Cabrera for just a small upgrade. Again, Cabrera can play RF. And again, there's no comparison between Cabrera and Murton. Cabrera is already one of the best hitters in the game at age 22, Murton has the ceiling of a decent corner OF at age 24.

    Are you expecting him to produce the exact same for 4 years? It's not like they're predicting a Pat Burrellesque fall and rise. I'd be more skeptical of the projections if they had a player stay the same or straight rise/decline for the whole period of time. So you are saying the majority of ball players have projections that zig zag up and down during the prime of their careers? Forgive me if I am skeptical. You don't think player's performance fluctuates during their prime? They aren't projecting Lee to drop 100 points in OPS.

    I have the Barrett wmv and can get the Jones clip too, but I have no place to host them. http://openomy.com/

    That's one way of saying it, since they're throwing out this year's contract.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Started 100 games there in '04.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    So basically a 4/52 extension. Well, I guess that's not too bad, like I've said before this is pretty much a no-win situation.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    i dont think that's likely at all I think the Yanks and Sox would give him 5 and 80; I dunno about the Dodgers and O's. That's more per year than Beltran got 119/7 = 17 80/5 = 16 My bad, for some reason I had 106 in my head.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Watching programming on ESPN is bad for you.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    i dont think that's likely at all I think the Yanks and Sox would give him 5 and 80; I dunno about the Dodgers and O's. That's more per year than Beltran got, and he was several years younger when he signed his contract, and plays a position where there aren't as many good players.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, he's listed as 30-years-old and only has to stand up for about 15 minutes each game. We'll see what the contract is worth. I'm guessing he'll be over-priced by the time it's up, but maybe not by too much. And the Red Sox can afford it. pecota has him at 162 games with a 290/390/590 line this year, and then 150 games with a 270/380/530 in 2010. that's not bad at all. i guess he just strikes me as the kind of guy who's going to hurt his knees or his back or something and just never be the same. I assume you are referring to teh fact that he's built like Mo Vaughn. But as Jon mentioned, the big (pun intended) difference is that Mo wasted time on fielding (and did so badly). Ortiz will never do that. He's the modern Edgar Martinez and therefore should play until he is 40. Edgar was always in better shape than Ortiz is now. Also, Edgar had an amazing swing. Ortiz, while he's a fantastic hitter, isn't as fluid with his swing. Therfore a tweak or pull he sustains later in his career could have a Sosa-esque effect on his production.

    I'm pretty sure whether it's crazy or not my reaction is going to be "I really hope he's the best hitter in the game for a while longer".
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Williams Most past success, still among the youngest, good stuff that can get GB making performance sustainable.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Because we're only 3% done with the season.

    Yeah, much of the concern about Cedeno is that he won't be allowed to work through the struggles he will inevitably have. On the whole there's been less concern for Murton because the alternative isn't as viable a LF option, unless Pagan gets put out there I guess.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    The bolded part is my favorite.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    I liked that we didn't lose a lot.
