Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

It appears that you have placed a lot of effort into your article and I require more of these on the net these days. I sincerely got a kick out of your post. I don’t really have much to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply wonderful work.

Definitely makes more sense to move Crisp to left if you’re replacing Ankiel with him. His noodle arm pales in comparison to Colby’s plus arm, and would play much better in LF.

If it was just the 13 best players, Duncan would clearly have a spot. However, on this team, he’d be another left-handed hitter with left-handed starters at all three outfield positions. I think it makes more sense to carry the right-handed bat, whether it’s Evans, Nick Stavinoha or Joe Mather.
One more note: Calero was a Royals prospect originally.

Keep in mind that this includes recent past performance and projected value for next year. Duncan was great when healthy in 2006 and 2007, and he has a decent chance of bouncing back next year, or at least a better chance than Terry Evans or Daric Barton do.

Wow Jaron, you really just don’t get it…
Also, How exactly does one live UNDER a hole???

Terry Evans was traded to the Anaheim Angels for Jeff Weaver. He has played some in the big leagues, but not a whole lot. I wouldn’t want Duncan in his current condition (unhealthy)…He was just released by the Red Sox. It’s really amazing how many plate appearances he received this year while being so awful. I hope he gets healthy and returns to 2006 form as a DH somewhere… I would probably replace Evans with Daric Barton. If the bullpen wasn’t so stacked as is, I would probably add Kiko Calero too.

Why isn’t Pujols batting third? You want your best overall hitter batting third, just like Pujols does in real life.
By the way, even though he’s had a really tough year this year and is now on Boston’s AAA team, I’d rather have Chris Duncan as a backup 1B/OF over Terry Evans, whoever he is.

Why, Rick? Because it’s interesting and you expect your internet articles to be inane and blaring? I know, I kept hoping he’d mention Jeter or Ortiz but he didn’t and now I’m really disappointed. How are those guys doing. I never hear about them.

People who write stories like this are one reason NBC isn’t a major player any more in TV sports.

Oh, that wasn’t a knock on Rasmus at all. I was referring to the upgrade you’d get by using Crisp over one of the corner guys.
And, yeah, you could make a case that it’d be better to put Crisp in left and keep Rasmus in center when Ankiel sits.

I disagree with regards to the defensive “upgrade” switching from Rasmus to Crisp. Rasmus’ RZR of .963 is the third best among qualified CFs in both leagues. Crisp’s .938 (a career high by .011, btw) would slot him in at 11. Rasmus is an absolutely elite defender in CF.

Irony is just so awesome.
Here’s the internet tough guy, thinks he just outsmarted the baseball writer, but he doesn’t even check his facts first.
This type of comedic relief is why I’m still alive today.
Carpenter wasn’t drafted by the Cardinals, idiot.

Jaron: Do you understand the premise behind this series? Apparently not. Here it is: Only players that were ORIGINALLY DRAFTED by the team count. Carpenter originally came up with Toronto, so he’s out. Likewise with Wainwright (for what it’s worth), since he came up in Atlanta’s system. Looper is on there not because he had recent stint with the team, but rather it’s because he was originally drafted by them (and then traded to the Marlins in the Renteria deal). And so on and so forth.
You should probably apologize to the author and make sure to get your facts straight in the future before slamming other people.

By: Jaron

Jaron — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:45:46 +0000

Haha. You are pretty funny especially because Carp isn’t even in the rotation. This Matt guy must not know anything about baseball or maybe he has just been living under a hole for the past 2 years.

Do you know the difference between 1996 and 2006?

“Won it all in 1996″? I think someone should let the Yankees know.
