    His stats from last season. He was way down in percentage of runners caught stealing. He dropped fro 45% to 21%. He's also catching a lot less games the last couple of seasons suggesting that he is aging quickly as most catchers do. That's enough for me. What do you have to counter?

    Based on what do you think they will be good at it? One guy is a bush leaguer that we know little about and he knows less about our staff. The other guy is 34 and declining. What are you hanging you hat on?

    Betts projects above average in the OF? He is an OF convert with a weak arm. How much data is there on Castillo to make a projection on him? The only OF who is unquestionably an above average fielder. Napoili is above average, but he is not Mark Texeira or Keith Hernandez. No one is ging to mistake Panda for Brooks Robinson. There are just not enough high quality gloves to overcome the mediocre pitching and so-so and inexperienced catching.

    Technically, Hannigan is not a journeyman. He is just past his prime, and he was never that good even in his prime.
  5. a700hitter
    Mediocre staff and a journeymen and bush leaguer at catcher does not bode well for run prevention.

    Only 4 teams. We need 6 more. Come on people. It's fun, and in expensive. $20 for 6 months of fun.

    He smoked some balls when I saw him.

    Pete, I remember. I was kidding about Wake too.
  12. a700hitter
    Dice K? Yuk! Maybe Wake too.

    Spring has shown some pop in his bat.

    I started the league and sent links in PM's to the people listed in your post. We need 5 more participants. Come forward those of you who are up to the challenge of taking on the King of TalkSox, User and the Sports Betting King (Iortiz) among others to match baseball knowledge and wits.

    What categories did we use?

    Craig is going to have a hard time finding playing time on this roster. That is the problem for him.
  17. a700hitter
    Victorino did get hurt in the last week of Spring Training. If he is healthy and doesn't get traded, get ready to be shocked. Rusney isn't going down. Neither is Betts. Nava needs Craig to get traded to have a shot at sticking.

    With a week remaining in Spring Training, Castillo will have close to 40 Spring ABs under his belt. That's enough. $72 million will not be sitting in the minors at age 27. Ortiz's breaks will come during interleague play. Unless he gets injured, he will sit very little in AL DH games.
  19. a700hitter
    Aw, what do you know about running a major league team? But I fear that you are right about this rotation.
  20. a700hitter
    Fred, I will be going to the game on the 11th. We must arrange to meet.

    The rumor is out there that swihart may make the club if Vasquez is injured. I guess they didn't learn last year from exposing our top prospects who were not ready and tanking their value. We may regret not getting Hamel's for Swihart.

    CRaig is a spare part at best. Kelly had better pan out. I said at this juncture, and yes it is early.
  23. a700hitter
    Unless two of our Outfielders get traded or injured in camp, Nava gets DFA'd. Mark it down. Castillo is not sitting in the minors with his $72 million.
  24. a700hitter
    They would have 10 days to trade him. After that he could be claimed. If he goes unclaimed, which would be unlikely, he would be assigne to Pawtucket. Castillo is not going to be sitting in AAA with $72 million unless he gets injured. Would you like to bet a case of beer on it?
  25. a700hitter
    At this juncture the trade of Lackey is not looking very fruitful for the Red Sox. We gave up one year and 2 months of Lackey at a steep discount for a pitcher that can't seem to achieve his potential and a spare part. At this point Kelly's potential continues to be reassessed downward, and there is no spot on this team for Craig. At this point, the ledger is greatly favoring the Cards on this trade.
