He's played 162 games the past 5 years and just signed a 5-yr, $45MM contract - that doesn't really scream journeyman to me.
And if you're projecting Willy to be Juan Pierre, that is not a good thing. Pierre is one of the most overrated and overpaid players in the...
Luke Scott is a much better player than Willy T, even when you account for speed & defense. OBP Coors Field Park-Adjusted OBP - 0.351 Willy...
Pettitte has a $16 million player option. I can't imagine him turning that down - no way he gets near that on the open market next year.
The math checks out on this one: 5 INT > 3 INT > 1 INT
Batting average should rarely, if ever, be the #1 factor in any discussion of value. Morgan only hit .270 for his career, but had an OBP of...
I can't see Anderson ever leading off, even if he manages to work his way into the lineup. He has a career minor league OBP of .340. His...
What a tremendously awful move for the franchise. With several quality candidates named in the search, I simply cannot believe they chose Wade....

RBI & Runs are pretty much the least useful statistics you can use for determining the value of a hitter since they're 90% determined by a...
I think that's a pretty defendable position. I love Ryan, but he has the highest HOF voting % in history, and an argument can be made that his...
From Wikipedia:
What's even more remarkable is that they scored all of their runs in only 4 innings - 5, 9, 10, & 6 runs.
Now is certainly a good time to be employed by an energy company. The mass retirement of the baby boomers coupled with the attrition of the 80's...
I remember. That's why I'm not counting my chickens just yet. IIRC, all but one of the tracking models had Rita hitting Houston squarely a few...
The only thing that would keep me from taking a 6-month old to a game would be the noise. It gets awfully loud in TC, and it could really freak a...
