Kendrick for Fowler

They need a SINKERBALLER

btw Fowler is a Super 2 with 3 arb years left, and Bora$ is his agent

Fowler would be a great, great, great pickup for the top of the lineup but not sure he'd make a huge impact.

Rollins
Fowler
Utley
Howard
Chooch
Brown/Schierholtz/Maydingle
Ruf??/Brown/Maydingle
3b maybe I guess

whatever tracy tried to do in Colorado seemed like a hair pulling fucking disaster for the starters. i get that they throw too many pitches, but having a 75 pitch limit in the bigs obviously didn't help limit that. i also didn't understand in the slightest limiting francis and de la rosa to the same standard as the younger guys

Check Dex's home/road splits. He's really ordinary (or worse) outside of Coors.

I like Baseball Prospectus. They do some good work and have some really good guys on their staff.

But I really don't care at all about their opinions regarding music and what they are listening to RIGHT NOW and what video game they like or what they are drinking or any of that non-baseball crap. It isn't interesting or enlightening or anything but a waste of space.

I wish they'd stop with it already.

This year he was slightly above average on the road according to BP sOPS+. He will take a walk and has a little power and he's only 26. He was supposed to be this speedster guy but he doesn't steal bases often or well.

the key to me is if he is a really good defensive CFer. If he is, I think he'd be a pretty valuable guy. His defensive stats that I can find are not too good though.

We might have to wait for Gillies.

No more Fox blackout games next year

Wait maybe not

1B- Davis?
2B- Andino?
SS- Hardy
3B- Machado
LF- McClouth?
CF- Jones
RF- Markakis

It's supposed to start in 2014, not next year.

Reynolds at first, Davis in right

I also have a good buddy who is a huge O's fan, and he claimed Reynolds was playing Gold Glove type D at first, on pair with Tex

they have a DH too

Betemit is in that mix somewhere I believe
