This is also the first year where he's even close to being age appropriate for the league that he's in.

Tyler Greene 3-4 with a 2b and 2 R's. HALL OF FAME!
Of the Beltran/Pence/Quentin group I would totally take Quentin. I think he would cost less and provide similar value.
I want them to just go all out and get Kemp or JUpton. Send over the top 4...
Someone over at PhuturePhillies said that he dropped switch hitting(lefty only now) and tinkered with his swing mechanics a bit and that recently he's looked a lot better.
Can anyone here explain why BP's WARP1 stat is so jacked up right now? Go sort pitchers by WARP1 and you'll know what I mean.
**** yes.
People here have absolutely no concept of value. Pence is a proven MLB commodity with control still. He's not some aging veteran with half a year left on his deal. He's what you HOPE Brown becomes....
Remember, he also hit .348 in a small sample in AAA last year.
Are you really judging a pitcher with about 4 years worth of sample size off of 1 start with about 5 broken bat hits in one inning?
The Met's hated Castillo cause they gave him a huge contract that he didn't live up to. He's like their Elton Brand. Still very effective, but not for the money given.
Nah. Madson is going to be work 7-9 by himself I think.
Ichiro will have a higher Avg and fielding %. Problem is that Ichiro doesn't walk or K alot so that will get dicey.
I'm not sold on Castillo as a good replacement. He's been about as balky as Roberts the last few years and when he is on the field he's barely above replacement level. I don't think the asking price...
Kelly Johnson.
No. No. It's still terrible. In his three years with the Mets he was worth 2.8 WAR. Since then, Scott Kazmir has been worth 17.
Myers. Madson. Victorino(eh...). Happ. Hmm. I got nothing else...
Ok. To start. Two things:
1) If you aren't currently listening to the BP podcast weekly, you should immediately remedy that and begin.
2) On the most recent podcast Goldstein broke down his top...
I don't know. I'm a Rasmus fan boy. I'm also very wary of D. Brown. I'm starting to worry he's going to be another Byrd. I know I'm REALLY jumping the gun and hopefully cooler heads prevail here but...
Ha. Didn't even notice. Thanks.
So no Brown, Blanton, [Insert something else] for Rasmus deal then...there go all my dreams...
Any news on Carpenter? The Cardinals one. Not ours.
I really need that shirt. With the dude. On a red shirt. "All your ace are belong to us".
Ok. This is the first time I've seen this...it can't be the first time it's been said. If so, Bravo Ender, Bravo.
I think that's the grade the give the players best tool. I think...
Trout. I think he has more tools. He can hit for contact, has 70+(80?) speed and plays centerfield. On top of that he has some pop.
Bryce Harper could end up like Mark Reynolds.
