So I am not the only one who wonders why the Cards protected Canseco. I
cannot make up my mind on Jordan, he is a great outfielder and has both
speed and pop, but he never walks, is already ~25 so he is an iffy guy
to protect. 

Now if they are ready to let Ozzie go, and they did not protect Jose
Oquendo, who are they planning to play at shortstop next year?

Let me guess, Dal is about to pull the trigger on the blockbuster Allen
Watson for Walt Weiss deal.

While granting that Bichette isn't much to pay, please bear in mind that 
County stadium isn't exactly friendly to left-handed power hitters.  I have 
the 1993 STATS Inc. projections for Reimer based on Texas, and have 
converted them to Milwaukee for you.  Read 'em and weep.

Year	AB	R	H	2b	3b	HR	 BA	 SA
1992	494	56	132	32	2	16	.267	.437
1993Tx	550	58	144	31	4	18	.262	.431
1993Ml	528	56	143	30	2	13	.271	.409

Conversion based on 1990-92 data.  Reimer is still better than Bichette, but 
now only by say 30 points of slug.  And he is a butcher in the field.  In 
contrast, I can imagine Jaha slugging 440 without much trouble.  (STATS has 
him at .459, which I find difficult given the park.  But the park doesn't 
hurt righties nearly as bad, which Jaha is.  I smell a platoon here.)

Well, I am sure his teammate, Gary DiSarcina, will say something about that.
:-) :-(

I do see some hope, though.  Lee Stevens will be replaced, if not by Mark
McGwire (my hope), Don Barbara.  Luis Sojo will be replaced by Kevin Flora
(hopefully; the good sign is that the Angels protected Flora, despite Flora
missing most of the season due to an injury).  Gary Gaetti will be replaced
by Damion Easley.  Von Hayes will be replaced by Tim Salmon.

But this team is definitely not going to be a good offensive team anytime soon.
Of course, the Autrys just showed how cheap they are in letting Bryan Harvey
go, but I hope dreams that they would sign McGwire *and* Bonds; if that
happens...  Let's see...

1B	McGwire
2B	Flora
SS	DiSarcina
3B	Easley

CF	Bonds

I agree with Paul Anderson that the DH should be limited to the Majors.
I do favor the DH, as it has allowed me to see many big names that I MIGHT
repeat MIGHT not have otherwise.  Statistically, there seems to be little more
that one standard deviation in runs between NL and AL, so the offense is minor
(Seen just as many 10-9 games in NL as AL,too).  I just don't like to see
pitchers hit when I could see Chili Davis, Hrbek, or Bushy.

To rate Devereaux ahead of Thomas, you would have to believe that his defense
was worth 40-50 runs above Thomas's.  One might conceivably be able to find a
40 run swing by comparing Richie Ashburn in his prime with Dick Stuart's pet
gerbil, but I don't think Devereaux v. Thomas quite qualifies.

I thought a catalyst was something that facilitated reactions without actually
participating; sort of like Dan Gladden is alleged to do...?

Did *nothing*?  Shane Mack *might* have been the most valuable LF in the
league, but then again it might have been Rickey.  Henderson had a better
season than Winfield, Brady Anderson (believe it), Devereaux, Tartabull,
Gonzalez, and just about every other player in the AL except Thomas, McGwire,
Martinez, Griffey, Molitor, Puckett, Alomar, or Baerga.

Sure, it was a mediocre year for Rickey.  That's how good his good years are.

I have Anderson down as twice as far above average as Devereaux offensively.
Give Mike back some credit for great CF defense, but it's still Brady all the
way.

Au contraire.  Griffey *did* have a GREAT year, but nobody noticed.  The only
players more valuable (in my considered opinion) were Thomas, Edgar Martinez,
McGwire, and Roberto Alomar.  And maybe Clemens.

Huh?  Tettleton was vastly superior offensively (difference of about 15 team
runs), and played excellent defense at a tougher defensive position.  What's
left?

From: genetic+@pitt.edu (Dr. Dave)
Date: 18 Nov 92 18:45:06 GMT
Organization: Department of Industrial Engineering

OK, we all know that the current rosters of the Rockies and Marlins have
some *big* holes in them, but it's still useful, I think, to take a peek
at what sort of lineups the two teams could field right now.  At least that
will give us some idea of where the fastest action has to be in plugging
those holes.

Let me start by admitting that I really don't know enough about the 472
pitchers selected to tell which of the not-yet-major-leaguers might start
next season in the bigs.

These are the best lineups I could come up with, for position players.  In
cases where I'm sure the team in question will disagree, I've put their 
suspected preference in parentheses.

	Colorado Rockies			Florida Marlins

C	Joe Girardi			C	Steve Decker
1B	Eric Wedge (Galarraga)		1B	Jeff Conine
2B	Eric Young			2B	Bret Barberie
SS	Freddie Benavides		SS	Walt Weiss
3B	Charlie Hayes			3B	Chris Donnels 
LF	Braulio Castillo (Je. Clark)	LF	Monty Farris
CF	Alex Cole			CF	Jesus Tavarez? (Is he ready?)
RF	Dante Bichette			RF	Junior Felix

If Jesus Tavarez isn't ready for the bigs, that leaves Junior Felix in center,
and either Conine in right (with no first baseman) or one of Chuck Carr,
Nigel Wilson, or Darrell Whitmore.  Which one is closest?

You know what?  These teams rot.  If Florida could sign Mark McGwire and
Kirby Puckett, they'd at least not get laughed out of the league.  Colorado,
on the other hand, is looking at a total of maybe *one* above-average 
offensive player, and no great defense either.

The sad part is that *both* of these teams would gladly have snapped up Jeff
King, had the Pirates allowed them to do so.  *sigh* ...

I can't help but think that the real action of this draft went on under the
table, with deals being cut (in what coin, I can't imagine) whereby the new
teams left all the *real* steals alone...  Maybe that's why the MLB owners
didn't want the protected lists made public: because it we be obvious that the
whole draft was a sham, with the real expansion happening in a smoke-filled
room somewhere.

Okay, but I don't buy Boggs as an optimal leadoff hitter. In 1988, he scored
128 runs despite posting a .476 OBP. Brady Anderson was able to score
100 runs posting only a .373 OBP this year. Granted they're two different 
hitters, on two different teams, but give Brady 100 more points in on-base and 
what happens to his run total. Who knows, but I think we'd all agree it rises. 

But the real argument is whether the Mariners would be a better team with
Martinez batting first or Cotto or Briley batting first and Martinez batting
somewhere else. Personally, I don't believe the Mariners could afford
to lose Martinez to the top of the order. 

Optimal solution is to go out and get a leadoff man. But who is
available on the Free Agent Market? I can't see much of a trade happening.
Who on this team is expendable who has any market value?

Why do they need one?  :)

Seriously, though, with the glut of relievers on the free agent market, the
Dodgers can land one if they want (the bad news being, they were so bad that
they still won't lose a first round pick for signing a top player, and thus
can draft the next Bill Bene...but I digress).

At AAA, Lance McCullers was looking like his pre-Yankee form, so perhaps the
brainwashing has worn off.  Remember Ed Whitson of a few years back.  At least
he wouldn't cost the Dodgers much.  Two younger players, Zak Shinall and Kp
Gross, were two of only a handful of effective pitchers at Abq.  The few times
I watched Kevin Gross, he looked as though he still might be able to contribute
as part of a pen by committee arrangement.

And it's not like that's the glaring hole for the Dodgers...(neither is Jose
Offerman's glove, for those who were looking to fill in the missing joke.)

ObPrediction:  Jim Neidlinger was signed by the Rockies as a minor league free
agent.  He'll be in the starting rotation.

Yeah, that 300,000-500,000 fans that don't show up at the Stick every year,
when every poll taken states one of the primary reason they don't is the
ballpark, yeah. We're just overstating the problem. 

Hell, I've been to better A-league parks. For that matter, I've seen better

No problem, Todd. I like to wax rhetoric. But the reality is that the
hardcore fans would swim to the Farallons to see a ballgame, but the
difference between a team that draws a mediocre 1.3 million and one that
draws a decent 1.8 million ain't chickenfeed, and every time someone local
does a poll on why those half-million folks aren't there the top reason is
how horrible Candlestick is. You can pooh-pooh that all you want, but the
realitiy is there are LOTS of folks, myself included, who love the Giants
but hate Candlestick more, which is why I'm only there the one or two times
a year when I can get into a luxury box.

On the other hand, if Candlestick wasn't such a dump, I probably never would
have discovered minor league baseball, so it's not a total disaster.
