by Rodney on Mar 30, 2009 2:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

so I just picked up Andrus as my utility infielder in fantasy baseball...

what is the legitimate upside we could see from the kid this year?

MLB.com has him projected to hit .271 with 28 steals, and my team is weak in the SB department…it was either Andrus or Theriot, and I figure he could do just as well as Theriot and he’s a Ranger, so why not give him the nod?

"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"

by Walter Sobchak on Mar 30, 2009 2:24 PM CDT reply actions  

Man..

.271? That’s incredibly optimistic.

by jthig32 on Mar 30, 2009 2:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

right. I'm not that optimistic.

I can see where they’re coming from though, combining his minor league numbers and his spring…but I would guess .250 would be a better estimate. Either way, sadly, I’ve got no Rangers, so I’d take a .250 average with a shot at 40 SB over a steady .288 with 30 SB.

This is what happens when Kinsler, Davis and Hamilton all go for double the draft $$$ than what they are projected at.

"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"

by Walter Sobchak on Mar 30, 2009 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

i love the Rangers

but this guy is a 9 hole hitter who will struggle to hit an empty .270. I would think there were better options out there. Take a flier on Ian Stewart or even Teahan before Andrus.

by clark on Mar 30, 2009 2:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

I tend to be optimistic in "the unknown."

care to throw out what projections, BA/OBP/R/HR/RBI/K/SB/total bases for him? and then, what ceiling you think he could reach if he “gets it” earlier than you expected at the plate?

"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"

by Walter Sobchak on Mar 30, 2009 2:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

for Andrus?

.265/.320/70/4/45/80/30/(TB?)

As for a more optimistic projection, I suppose you could swing the BA up to .280, but most of the other numbers would stay around the same (I was probably already optimistic)

If you need steals and average, go get Crisp, or my personal favorite, Spilborghs. If you specifically need a SS, Khalil Greene is available in a lot of leagues, and he’s had a great spring. Now that he’s finally out of SD, I could see him get his avg back up to .260-.270 with solid power numbers (20+ HRs).

by clark on Mar 30, 2009 2:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

it doesn't have to be a SS but it has to be an infielder

and I need the steals more than anything else…

it was basically between Theriot or Andrus in my mind. And I think Theriot will be the better player this year, but my Rangers bias is making it a tough choice

"Hang-Dai, Wu...Hang-Fu$&ing-Dai"

by Walter Sobchak on Mar 30, 2009 3:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

if you specifically need

an infielder and steals, Andrus is probably as good as anyone. It’s too bad there is no way to value defense if fantasy baseball, because he’d be gold then.

by clark on Mar 30, 2009 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Braves sent Josh Anderson to Tigers

for Rudy Darrow. I remember hoping he would be one of the arms the Rangers got back when dealing Laird. He is groundball-inducing sidearmer who can hit 94 mph. I wouldn’t have minded having him in our bullpen this year.

by clark on Mar 30, 2009 2:39 PM CDT reply actions  

yep

they didn’t want him around anyway, and yet they were able to parlay him into a potentially useful middle reliever. not bad.

by clark on Mar 30, 2009 3:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

See ya!
Right-hander Derrick Turnbow, who is competing for a spot in the bullpen, did not make the trip to Scottsdale for a scheduled relieft appearance after twisting his right knee Sunday. Manager Ron Washington said the knee was swollen, so the decision was made to keep him in Surprise for treatment.

well Donnelly

was only one day before his opt out date, but he sounded like he was willing to stick around. I do question it, because I don’t buy all the positive articles lately. Rupe benefitted from some great defense behind him in his scoreless inning yesterday…he wasn’t exactly inducing weak dribblers. And Madrigal has given up 9 runs in his last 4 innings, and yet he seems to have a spot locked down as well.

As far as Gobble, it was pretty clear he wouldn’t make the big league squad. he didn’t fit the need once Guardardo came back.

i agree

whoever is in the 5th spot is a placeholder for Feliz/Holland when they get called up and the comes when McCarthy goes down.

due to WBC

I definitely think you could decrease ST by two weeks, but you’d have to depend on your players to come into camp in shape. Is that too much to ask of multi-millionaires?

not sure but here is how the last week went (i think):

sun- mcCarthy
mon- benson/Padz

so, unless they switch people around:
tu- harrison
wed millwood
tr
feldman/ padz
fri- mccarthy
sat – benson/feldman

so I guess they skip feldman on TR and both feldman/benson pitch on Sat (A/B games) after which they announce the winner of the final spot…?

EG update:
RHP Derrick Turnbow ended up not making the trip to Scottsdale because of a swollen right knee that he suffered during Sunday’s outing. Turnbow was supposed to pitch on consecutive days to give the Rangers an idea how well he’d bounce back.

Turnbow becomes the third pitcher on the bubble to deal with a recent injury: RHP Willie Eyre has been dealing with a sore groin and was not up to throwing live batting practice Monday, which had tentatively been the plan for him; RHP Dustin Nippert is supposed to throw live batting practice tomorrow after dealing with a sore back muscle for nearly two weeks.

• 1B Chris Davis left Monday’s game with a sore left patella tendon. Davis, who was 0-for-2 before leaving, has 71 at-bats this spring. He leads the team in at-bats.
