Around SBN: Phillies trade for OF Matt Stairs Bar-right-arrows

Today's Fun Fact

Tiny by Jeff on in The More You Know

Since Edgar said his final goodbye at the end of 2004, Mariner designated hitters have combined to put up a total batting line of .254/.317/.363 and a position-adjusted OPS+ of 74. This staggering display of consistent run production came for the low low cost of Chris Snelling, Emiliano Fruto, Shin-soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera, and roughly twenty-one million dollars.

Over the same span of time, Darin Erstad has batted .271/.325/.380.

Designated hitters have one job. Their job is to hit.

Good eye for talent there, Bill.

Here we go!

1. Pena believe that guy was so cheap?
2. I would Bradley have him on my team
3. Stairs no doubt he’d be better than our DH
4. It’s beCust of acquisitions like this that Billy Beane is known as a good GM
5. If you Ludwick other teams can find to fill positions other than DH you realize how easy it should be to find a decent DH
6. If we had picked him up cheap when he was released I would have Thomased not to make fun of the team for at least a week
7. I would Reedily DH him over Vidro any day of the week
8. I’m sure if Vidro were released, the locker room would have a better aroma; there’s nothing worse than Snelling a dirty Vidro
9. The Lambst thing I would want is for Vidro’s option to vest
10. (Bullshit there are no ethnic people on the Cardinals other than Izturis, Pujols, and Molina)
11. If I ever had a chance to Petagine’s bottle, one of my wishes would be for a new DH

By the way

Willie since Opening Day 2005: .260/.319/.314, but with a steal-adjusted* SLG of .361.

Had this team made Willie the everyday DH beginning in 2005, then over the past 3.5 years it would’ve been worse off by only a handful of runs.

I responded to nothing to do with SB-SLG

I commented Re: Giles —> Who knew?, I tried to penalty box Matthew, and I commented on Wilkerson’s surprising complete lack of power.

You're supposed to read stuff in Lit classes?

I just sucked up to the teacher and coasted to an A.

^shrug^

It was me and 10 freshman/sophomore girls with a female grad student teacher.

I’m not complaining.
