Additional Chone Figgins Fun Fact

PrintChone Figgins has been a regular player every year since 2004. Presented below is his year-to-year baserunning value, excluding stolen bases, since Fangraphs' WAR equation already takes those into account.
| Year | Runs |
| 2004 | 1.5 |
| 2005 | 10.0 |
| 2006 | 9.1 |
| 2007 | 5.0 |
| 2008 | 6.4 |
| 2009 | 7.3 |
Six years, 39.1 "hidden" runs added by advancing on grounders, fly balls, or hits. I don't know why this slipped my mind earlier, but you can pretty safely go ahead and add an extra five runs or so to your Figgins forecasts going forward.
He is going to be so annoying.

Would this make us more or less likely to sign another Type A since the draft pick we lose is considered less relevant?
...and now I'm here
Well, less money but less penalty.
Probably depends on the type A.

I really hope we see this atleast once next year.
If our lineup’s 8-9-1-2 ends up being Gutz-Saunders-Ichiro-Figgins I think it could very well work.
I'm so in love already
I never imagined we’d spend the dollars to net Figgins, but I also thought he’d be a little pricier. Very nice. Now I hope we can somehow net Harden and Branyan and trade for Doumit. What a fun first signing for our off-season!
It is true the Mariners lose their first round pick
But, that may mean that they use more money on the international market or there is always a player who falls because of injury or signability. I hate losing the pick, but there are workarounds.
Figgins wins a foot race.
Go figure. It’s what they were made to do.
Say it with me: Washington Capitals. Capitals.

Who needs to be THAT fast when you can teleport in front of the ball, or teleport to first base.

When watching with Mariners play the Angels, two things always pissed me off.
One was Vlad Guererro always homering off us.
And the second was that we freaking could not ever get Chone Figgins out, and he just wore out our pitchers.
Now WE have that guy!!!
Yep that historically has been pretty much my thoughts as well.
I feel that small people should always fail, and when they don’t it pisses me off.
