Loney, Kemp, LaRoche, Martin all 24 or younger and providing .350+ OBP? Logan White for President!

God, it looks like Lugo's going be ridiculously overpaid by some AL East squad. Let's hope it's the Matsuzaka-buying New York Yankees of Boston.

Namar's OPS leads Loney's by not much (038), but the difference in money will be enormous.

Kemp's projection looks far too high, considering his wicked collapse after the league got a good look at him.

4. Frank McCourt's Gold Stars are in bankruptcy court Posted: November 15, 2006 at 04:31 PM (#2238584)

Ugh. NOmar.

Why would the league ERAs be that low?

6. Frank McCourt's Gold Stars are in bankruptcy court Posted: November 15, 2006 at 04:33 PM (#2238588)

That Broxton-Saito-Gagné bullpen looks fun. Like it'll ever happen...

"Kemp's projection looks far too high, considering his wicked collapse after the league got a good look at him."

I think he'll make some adjustments and come back fairly strong. He's got too many tools/skills to stay down for long.

Derek Lowe is going to end up being a very astute signing.

i blame zips for the $11 i spent on gagne in my auction last year ;)

zips not a big fan of jd drew or something?

11. AROM Posted: November 15, 2006 at 05:42 PM (#2238697)

I'm very underwhelmed by Drew's projection, though I'd still take him over Soriano any day of the week. For the Dodgers he won't be missed if ZIPS is right on Ethier and Kemp.

And Lowe is working out perfectly. I take back any bad things I said about his signing 2 years ago.

Nomah hitting .288? he hasn't hit that low in a full season, EVER.

13. AROM Posted: November 15, 2006 at 08:47 PM (#2238879)

Seems low to me too. Must have something to do with his age.

14. Barry`s_Lazy_Boy Posted: November 15, 2006 at 09:17 PM (#2238905)

Nomar hit .283 in 230AB in 2005.

And .303 last year. And is 33.

15. Bitter Calculus Instructor Posted: November 15, 2006 at 09:48 PM (#2238934)

Nobody projected to hit 20 homers...

16. RollingWave Posted: November 16, 2006 at 04:03 AM (#2239195)

Kuo is likely to do better than that if he stays healthy.

17. Robert Machemer Posted: November 17, 2006 at 01:42 AM (#2239989)

These numbers are park-adjusted, right? Or are they park-neutral?

Dodgers announced the retirement of third baseman Bill Mueller.

Mueller, forced to call it quits by a knee injury that wasn't going to get any better, will serve as a special assistant to Los Angeles GM Ned Colletti. This takes his $4.5 million salary off the Dodgers' books, but it seems likely that there's some sort of agreement entitling him to at least a significant portion of what he was due. The 35-year-old Mueller finishes his career with a .291/.373/.425 line, 85 homers and 493 RBI in 11 major league seasons. His best year was 2003, his first year with the Red Sox, when he won the AL batting title and established career highs with a .326 average, 19 homers and 85 RBI. In 2004, he came up with the big hit that drove in Dave Roberts in Game 4 of the ALCS and batted .429 in Boston's World Series victory. Nov. 17 - 8:11 pm et

NUTS

This takes his $4.5 million salary off the Dodgers' books,

If only.

He gets every penny. No idea if he gets anything additional for his service as "special assistant" this season, though.
