  1. The White Sox are pretty much sold on Anderson starting next year They just traded away their starting CFer for Jim Thome. No way they trade away Anderson.
  2. If Jacobs can show that he can catch full time and be decent at it, then Stokes should get a nice shot at 1B. Mike has shown the ability to adjust to pitchers as they adjust to him. After hitting 4 HRs in his first 4 games, he went into a mini-slump then made adjustments. Then again, pitchers adjusted to him. And somehow, he was able to come back and finish the year hitting .310 with his 10 HRs in around 100 ABs. So I think he's the real deal. But not a catcher. No way. He's an adequate first baseman. He looked like Keith Hernandez compared to the failed Mike Piazza experiment at 1B, but he's not that great a fielder. I'd call him adequate. Look, after you guys win again in a few years and dismantle your team again, you can always trade Jacobs to the AL where he can shine as a DH. And Petit is no throw in. He's a legit prospect that throws slow stuff but manages to average a K an inning.
  3. But isn't it funny how whenever someone gets traded, the fans of that team automatically go ahead and bash that particular player? Like the entire Red Sox Nation have had a hard-on for HanRam for years, and as soon as he's been dealt it's like "Oh, he's got work ethic problems, he'll never make it". Same can be said for Mets fans with Petit. Fans can be so fickle sometimes. Disagree. Mets fans are high on Jacobs and Petit. Mike Jacobs is an offensive machine. He won't put up Delgado numbers this year, but he's a solid offensive player with a lot of pop in his bat. Petit is no bum either. You guys did all right for yourself. We got a 34 year old 1B, with a great history and most likely will have 1-2 good years. You guys got 2 players that will be major leaguers for years to come.
  4. If you're gonna take into account financial considerations, Cabrera has to be more cost effective than Beltran.
