Fielding percentage only tells half the story. You have to include range as well when talking about Michael Young. UZR better represents what he does. And his numbers are bad. If we lose Hamilton, there are other players like Leonys Martin who can come up and take up the slack. We’ve had Josh the past 2 years and didn’t win the WS. Plus I think players like Justin Upton and Carlos Gonzalez from Colorado are going to be available.

That Howard deal was laughable the moment it was signed. Looks even worse now.

yes, for young guys, not for 30+

Agreed. Giving Howard $125 mil over 5 years when he’s 32 = dumb

Giving Trout say, $180 mil when he’s 23 = smart.

I would bet that the Lisk running back post goes up at 12:15pm Eastern

I would sign Hamilton for 4 years. I am in no way objective. It does seem like the Rangers’ offense struggles if Hamilton or Beltre are out of the lineup. One of the silent rich owners said the Rangers didn’t pursue Fielder because they wanted to keep Josh.

Harper, Trout, Stanton, Starlin Castro will be getting these mega deals. They are not dead.
I’m sure you’re right. And in rare cases, they can be OK. But they’d best be avoided, like handguns for self-defense.

I’d rather have Adam Dunn

If you say so. Maybe I haven’t seen him enough. I’ve just always been impressed.

“Senyor” – not sure how the post went up. It is going up today.

Send him to the Sox. Jeez. You sound like Yankee fans. I’ll take Young everyday of the week.

If you saw him every day, you wouldn’t be as thrilled. No defense, no walks, average-to-OK power. He’s a volume AB player and a leader of convenience. I’d rather have Adam Dunn, especially in The Ballpark.

re: Fielding %

He sucks at 3rd, but decent at other positions. 2nd being his best

Whats the point of having an 8th inning guy and a closer if you aren’t going to use them. Your closer should be able to go 2 innings on occasion anyways.

Yeah, but pretty much every reliever just went 2 innings on Sunday. Things probably would have been handled differently otherwise.
