December 8, 200322 yr How about Andres Galarraga? He batted .302 and had a .489 slug. He had a .841 ops. He did way better than Choi's .771. He'll sign for 500 grand, that's a cheap good pick up. You know you want him! edit: why the hell did I include carlos less out of all people? My bad.
December 8, 200322 yr 1B is taken care of. We may have to platoon there if we get a certain Impaler with FA status. But Carlos Lee is available? Hmm....
December 8, 200322 yr Author if we are going to use a "backup" 1B why would we get another lefthander? Galaraga bats righty...choi's a lefty. just so you know
December 8, 200322 yr Conine is "backup" I thought he played LF. Conine is an excellent first-baseman! Choi will probably not beat him out.
December 8, 200322 yr he plays both...what happened to Banks? did we let him go? No. Mordecai can probably play first in a pinch too, and so can Redmond.
December 8, 200322 yr SCOUTING REPORT FROM STATS INC. Andres Galarraga: Hitting Galarraga's age and back troubles have conspired to make him a mistake hitter and not much else. Good fastballs inside tie him up, and he misses breaking pitches away. His bat speed is slowing, and consequently the holes in his strike zone are becoming increasingly large. Galarraga still can drive a mistake out of the park, but most pitchers would rather miss badly and chance that he'll get himself out, instead of risking a mistake that he can clobber.
December 9, 200322 yr Depth chart for 1B: Choi, Conine, Banks, Mordecai, Cabrera, Lowell, Castro Depth chart for OF: Pierre/Conine/Cabrera, Banks, Mordecai, umm... Depth chart for IF: Cadtillo/Lowell/Gonzalez, Mordecai, Cabrera, umm... Yeah, first base depth isn't exactly a weakness right now.
December 9, 200322 yr Depth chart for 1B: Lowell, Castro Depth chart for OF: Mordecai, umm... :blink:
December 9, 200322 yr 1B is taken care of. We may have to platoon there if we get a certain Impaler with FA status. But Carlos Lee is available? Hmm.... Carlos Lee will make upwards to $8mil in arby. unless he wasnt offered it.
December 9, 200322 yr he plays both...what happened to Banks? did we let him go? Seriously seriously what? i just asked a question, and he was our backup last year, im not saying he's the backup this year because we got Conine.
December 9, 200322 yr Depth chart for 1B: Lowell, Castro Depth chart for OF: Mordecai, umm... :blink: I just used what I've heard and their histories. Mordecai: has played the outfield Lowell: it was reported to be an option if Choi does not win the 1B job Castro: could spell Choi against lefties
December 9, 200322 yr When Vlad takes over RF, we will have plenty of talent to platoon at 1B. No need to hire the services of Andres at this time.
