Grady Sizemore activated, hitting leadoff today

Grady Sizemore, who has been out after microfracture surgery, is off the d.l. and hitting leadoff for the Indians today.
So...why should Ranger fans care?
Well, despite their 10-4 start, Cleveland is a team that seems unlikely to be in the playoff hunt this year. Sizemore is under contract for $7.5 million this season, with an $8.5 million team option for 2012. Given the team is in rebuilding mode and Sizemore isn't far from free agency, he's someone you would think would be available in July should the Indians be out of the race.
And the Rangers, as we've discussed, could well be in the market for a centerfielder come July, if Julio Borbon doesn't get his bat going.
Whether Sizemore is a legitimate option is going to depend on how his knee holds up and how much of his speed he's lost...he was considered a very good defender in center prior to the injury, but if he's slowed post-injury, he may be more of a corner outfielder now, much like Carlos Beltran is.
Ideally, you'd like to see Borbon get it going and make this issue moot...but if he's not hitting come Independence Day, the Rangers will have little choice but to see what is out there and available in the trade market.
Sizemore, Michael Bourn, and Marlon Byrd would all be attractive trade options for the Rangers, as they are under team control at non-onerous dollar figures through the 2012 season. One would assume that, if they were to trade for a centerfielder, they'd include Borbon as part of the trade package...he still is going to have some trade value in July, even if he doesn't hit, although he's clearly not going to be the centerpiece of a deal.
And by acquiring a centerfielder who is under team control through 2012, it gives the Rangers time to see how Leonys Martin and Engel Beltre, their two in-house options for centerfield, develop. Neither is likely to be ready for the start of the 2012 season, but if either pans out, then the start of the 2013 season is a likely ETA.

Even if he were 70-80%
I’d love to see him as a Ranger, but that’s a lot of risk to assume. If he didn’t pan out, you’re out a couple of nice prospects and looking at Murph as a full timer
i like Bourn or Byrd in center.
I’m indifferent on Sizemore

I have a hard time believing Cleveland is going to trade Sizemore
if he’s healthy and productive.

If he doesn't command a healthy package in return, chances are that
he’s either hurt or unproductive.

He was one of the best players in the AL
pre-injury, so I’d have to agree
truth,
but 80% sizemore in CF, still hits better than Borbs

Haha, 50% Sizemore is probably better.

Yeah, exactly.
If he’s healthy he’s going to be expensive.

I doubt the Indians trade him.
"I wanted to go out there and punch Julio" - Ron Washington
I disagree
I think that when the Indians start struggling (and they will, in that division), they’ll try to get whatever possible before Sizemore gets hurt yet again.
"My parents actually loved to pimp me too." - LSJ
see
I don’t think it is at all obvious that the Indians will struggle because of that division. It is a division of a bunch of flawed teams. I can’t look at the Twins, Tigers, White Sox, and Royals and see an obvious first tier club. Sure, the Indians are the worst on paper. But that partially is based on the assumption that Sizemore will not be good. And if Sizemore is an allstar caliber guy worth trading for, then he’s probably adding wins to the Indians’ ledger.

Couple of things that could be going on
One is the code that provides the Z functionality is being blocked by some slow loading image or file… do you see anything in the status bar saying “Waiting on blah blah blah” when the Z isn’t working?
Also it could very well be a bug in our code… this is hard to debug because each browser/plugin/OS combination is different and to fix things we have to be able to reproduce on our end. Add in that it happens intermittently and it becomes that much more complicated.
Sorry you are having the problems shroomer, I’ll keep an eye out for the bug report you filed, but right now I gotta get ready to go to the Rangers game :)

Iwas pretty comfortable expecting him to finish on the tier below Griffey among all-time centerfielders.

It really is a shame that injuries have tarnished what looked like an elite career.
The same can be said about Griffey, but he at least had a few more healthy years while he was in his 20’s.

If Borbon is holding his own, definitely
If he sucks in the first half, though, then you probably don’t want him starting for you the rest of the way, and probably want to find someone who can hold down the fort through 2012, at which point Beltre or Martin would be ready.
I don’t want someone who can walk after 2011 for that reason.
by Adam J. Morris on Apr 17, 2011 12:26 PM CDT up reply actions
I see your point.
On the surface, a 59 wRC+ isn’t going to cut it. However, a .194 BABIP and 21.4% LD% isn’t going to last, especially not with his speed. Still, I’d rather run a replacement level to below average CF out there for most of the second half (with the understanding that Hamilton takes over CF for the playoffs) if it means that the Rangers are able to trade for a better pitcher than is currently on the roster (or one equal to the best the Rangers currently have).
The truth is, the Rangers aren’t likely to have to maximize their team to win the division. Perhaps that changes in the coming weeks/months, but it isn’t the most likely scenario.

Borbon's wOBAr...
0.353 (only players to have a higher wOBAr than Borbon on the team are Kins, Nelly, Murphy and Napoli). Still relatively SSS.
I don't think he's had enough PA yet
for wOBAr to be a satisfactory measure. It’s still going to be using a lot of league average stats which should make his wOBAr appear higher than it should.

I was kidding.
The source was addressed in the morning thread. It comes from Baseball Info Solutions.
I'm not arguing that we have to go get a CF'er
However, that’s the one non-pitching position that could end up being a need at the trade deadline because of performance-related issues.
We should have a pretty good idea by early July whether or not we should count on Borbon.

If that’s his baseline and you get a few BABIP-fueled seasons to get him up over 4 WAR, I’d be happy with that.

A more complete answer taken from Joey's BBTiA article.
Brandon Webb is still 4-6 weeks away at least from pitching in the Major Leagues but said he would be willing to be a reliever if that’s what is needed.
"I would do it," Webb said. "I would rather start but if it’s a chance to relieve, I’d do it."
Webb threw 70 pitches in the bullpen on Sunday. His next step could be extended Spring Training and pitching in games again.
