The Shelton, Granderson, and Verlander projections are heartening. Bonderman, Ledezma, and Zumaya not so much. Thanks, Dan.

Oh, and based on those projections, who wants to lay money on 'Cubs - sign RF Bobby Higginson to two-year deal'?

What's Bonderman's health prognosis? He was having an excellent year before breaking down.

Man, that Shelton rule 5 pickup is making the Pirates look even dumber than ever, if that's possible.

4. Chrysler Town & Country Slaughter (Walewander) Posted: November 06, 2005 at 06:46 PM (#1720791)

Bonderman should be OK. He broke down before breaking down last year, if you know what I mean.

Zumaya's projection looks on point to me. His control problems still would prevent him from being good in the majors (unless he improves it this year). His value as a prospect is in his strikeouts (which ZIPS projects to stay very high) and his age (which ZIPS projects not to change).

Fernando Vina is still alive?

The best part of the Shelton story will be when the Pirates, in their annual Drive for 75, will decide that Brad Eldred strikes out too much to start in the major leagues and that Craig Wilson can't play against right-handers, so they'll sign some godawful piece of crap veteran to fill a hole that they've been trying to fill since Kevin Goddam Young. I'm thinking someone like Scott Spiezio.

Yes, Kevin Young was the *good* firstbaseman that I can remember.

Every time I see Shelton's stats, I cry a little.

8. Russ Posted: November 06, 2005 at 11:17 PM (#1721024)

BTW, I hope Shelton CRUSHES the ball the first half of the season, so we can all see him at the ASG at PNC next year. Justice, sweet justice.

Tigers ZIPS hijacked by the Pirates?

I guess that makes a certain amount of sense...

10. Dewey, Steven Wright Wannabe and Soupuss Posted: November 07, 2005 at 12:40 AM (#1721066)

Fernando Vina is still alive?

He was technically on the DL all last season, but he's done.

Tigers ZIPS hijacked by the Pirates?

I know! We get one thread a month and we have Pirates fans hijacking it! The humanity!

If Verlander did that, I'd be very, very, very happy.

13. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: November 08, 2005 at 10:10 PM (#1724309)

"Every time I see Shelton's stats, I cry a little."

Every time I see Shelton's name, blood shoots out of my eyeballs.

14. Buddha Posted: November 09, 2005 at 10:57 PM (#1725699)

That's funny, every time I see Shelton's name, I get happy.

15. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: November 10, 2005 at 09:46 PM (#1726933)

Argh, the pain!

*splort*

16. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: November 15, 2005 at 03:12 PM (#1732445)

Has anyone else seen rumors about Sean Douglass signing with the Carp next year?

17. Buddha Posted: November 18, 2005 at 04:57 PM (#1737185)

I thought Douglass signed with Cleveland?

18. chemdoc Posted: November 18, 2005 at 05:13 PM (#1737223)

I thought fish couldn't survive in the Cuyahoga River.
