Not a bad rotation they have

Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmermann, Jackson. Could see them competing for the wildcard.

i think they're a little ways away from competing in that division..

however, i also never thought the diamondbacks would make the playoffs last season.

Matt Stairs

And in all seriousness while

Lofton, Henderson, Morgan, Stairs, and Sanders have all played for more teams, but look at this nugget…

2012 will be Jackson’s 10 MLB and age 28 season. Washington is his 7th team, including 7 in his last 8 years, 6 in his last 5. The last time he spent an entire year with one team – 2009 with Detroit, who promptly traded him to AZ in the Granderson deal. Oh and don’t forget 7/27/11, where he was with 3 teams in 1 day. CHW flipped him to Toronto and Toronto then traded him to StL. So technically Washington is his 8th team.

By Age 28 Lofton had been with 2 teams, by his 10th season 3 teams
Henderson 2 teams by 28 and 10th season
Mike Morgan 5 teams by 28 and 6 by his 10th season
Stairs 3 by 28 and 5 by his 10th season
Sanders 1 by 28 and 3 by his 10th season

If I had a gun to my head and had to pick one pitcher to pitch a game to save my life.... I'd pick 1999 Rick Helling.

And if Washington isn't sniffing the playoffs come 7/31 or 8/31

He’s a good bet to be traded again.

So he has to be worth, what, 1.7ish WAR?

Yeah I’ll take the way over. Good contract

1.7?

Isn’t it at $5M/WAR now?

by ab03 on Feb 2, 2012 2:49 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't think there's a consensus.

Szymborski has been using $4.7M this offseason.

I thought it was 5.5 ish

been wrong before

5 makes it 2 WAR, still take the over

ZIPs’ 4.7 has it at 2.1, still take the over

5.5

I think is what was used in an earlier article looking at Yu’s worth and it was accounting for inflation over the course of his contract.

It honestly doesn't matter

we know WAR is not linear and this is exactly the range where that equivalency breaks down

by ab03 on Feb 2, 2012 3:22 PM CST up reply actions  

I've been using 4.75

as there seems to be no consensus between 4.5 and 5.

Indians To Sign Casey Kotchman
by Ben Nicholson-Smith

The Indians have agreed to sign Casey Kotchman, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets.

Good signing.

I think he’ll be better than Moreland next year.

by Heebs on Feb 2, 2012 3:51 PM CST up reply actions  

if Moreland is healthy

he will put up better production than Kotchman

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

by NothinG on Feb 2, 2012 3:55 PM CST up reply actions  

Eh, Kotchman can be pretty awful.

Hes had a negative WAR 3 times and his BABIP was 55 points above his career line last year.

He may very well be better than Mitch, but its hardly automatic.

by DShep on Feb 2, 2012 4:04 PM CST up reply actions  

not jumping on your specifically

but how can folks have such solid confidence in this FO’s scouting/assesment of Darvish, but believe that they have no idea what they are doing with Moreland?

If they think the power shortage was due to his wrist, isn’t it pretty likely that that’s the cases?

That’s just wrong
