Baseball GM: 11/14/06

http://baseballgm.blogspot.com/2006_11_14_archive.html

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Tuesday, November 14, 2006. Ranking the Free Agent Starting Pitchers for 2007. Rankings are based on the Stats, taking into consideration 7 categories. Age, Career Average Won-Lost record, Career ERA, Percentage of the League ERA (LERA), K and BB rates, and Career Won-Lost Records. I'm leaving Clemens and Galvine off the list because Clemens may retire, and Glavine is either going to re-sign with the Mets or go to the Braves. 5) GREG MADDUX - 40 year...

Baseball GM: Ranking the Free Agent Relief Pitchers for 2007

http://baseballgm.blogspot.com/2006/11/ranking-free-agent-relief-pitchers-for.html

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Wednesday, November 15, 2006. Ranking the Free Agent Relief Pitchers for 2007. Rankings based on five key stats. Age, Percentage of LERA, K and BB rates, and K to BB ratios. Like with the Starters, any relievers with a career Percentage of LERA that is above the league average are not mentioned, as such pitchers are rarely worth signing. Guillermo Mota has been left out, due to his Steroid suspension. 5) JOE BOROWSKI - 35 years old, has pitched to 91...

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. A-Rod to the Cubs? With the Chicago Cubs signing of Lou Piniella to a lucrative 3 year contract to be their manager, and Piniella's fondness for Alex Rodriguez, a trade seems realistic. The Cubbies are one of the few teams in the majors with the financial resources to pay A-Rod. The move to Wrigley would allow A-Rod to move back to short, and give the Cubs a huge offensive upgrade. What do the Yankees need? What's intriguin...

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Tuesday, April 18, 2006. The Most Underpaid Players in Baseball. The minimum salary this year for major league players is $327,000. Calling anyone making at least that much this year underpaid may not seem appropriate, but it's all relative. CARL CRAWFORD, 2.6 Million, (D'Rays) - a player who scores 100 runs and steals 50 bases every year, is worth more than the 2.6 million Crawford will make this year. JOHN PATTERSON, 450,000, (Nationals) - better p...

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Friday, March 17, 2006. A Baker's Dozen, 13 Brilliant Hall of Fame Caliber Pitchers Who Will Never Get There Do to Their Late-Starting Careers - Part III. A typical year for Maglie was 14-7. Using that as a basis, if his career had started 10 years earlier, he'd have ended up with a record something like 259-135. With a record like that he'd be in the Hall of Fame and recognized as one of the best pitchers of all-time.

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Thursday, April 06, 2006. The Most Over-Paid Players in Baseball. The Associated Press published a list of all the MLB teams payrolls yesterday. Going through the list, I noticed a number of players who will be wildly overpaid this year. MAGGLIO ORDONEZ, 16.2 Million, (Tigers) - way too much money for a guy who barely got 500 AB's over the last TWO years. Even when he was healthy, he wasn't worth 16 mil. ERIC MILTON, 9.8 Million, (Reds) - how do ...

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Saturday, March 11, 2006. A Baker's Dozen, 13 Brilliant Hall of Fame Caliber Pitchers Who'll Never Get There Do to Their Late-Starting Careers - Part II. Four more late-starting pitchers who were clearly Hall of Fame caliber. A typical Leever year was 16-8. Using that as a basis, his career record might have ended up something like 272-140, if he had been given the chance to pitch at age 22.

Baseball GM: The Florida Marlins Know Pitching. Evaluating the Marlins Recent Trades

http://baseballgm.blogspot.com/2006/11/florida-marlins-know-pitching.html

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. The Florida Marlins Know Pitching. Evaluating the Marlins Recent Trades. The Florida Marlins made two trades involving pitchers on Monday. On paper, you have to say that the Marlins got the better of both deals. Here's a quick evaluation. Marlins send ADAM BOSTICK and JASON VARGAS to the Mets for MATT LINDSTROM and HENRY OWENS. Marlins send CHRIS RESOP to the Angels for KEVIN GREGG. Posted by Mike @ 2:02 PM. Url=http:/ fir...

This is where I get to rant about all things Baseball. Saturday, November 18, 2006. Ranking the Free Agent Hitters for 2007. Rankings based on players ages, combined with their average offensive seasons, and their lifetime batting averages, on-base percentages and slugging percentages. 3) CARLOS LEE - 30 years old. Average season is 30 HR's, 105 RBI's, 97 Runs, with a .286 Avg, .340 OBP and .495 SLG. He's about even with Soriano as an offensive player, except for the speed. 7) PRESTON WILSON - 32 years o...
