MessageI don't think there is that much value there but if Jeff wants Arod on his team he better sign him because I would have no problem paying 50 for him. I have signed him twice for $44 and $47 coming off worse years than last year and both times was very pleased with the results. Looking at Jeffs team it just looks like the 3rd best option to me, with maybe Hunter in the discussion, but with him coming off a contract season he might have a tough time duplicating those numbers as well, and would probably go for no more than $12 anyway with the crappy batting avg and injury risk due to his balls out style of play. I love Kazmir as much as the next guy, but would be scared as hell at paying him $29 and using a contract spot this year with his elbow problems and all that depth at SP. So I say go for it Jeff. Worst case scenario you get .310/110/35/120/20 with a ton of upside, and with Wright already gone those steals at 3rd are very valuable.

MessageTim, I agree with you to a point. I think that Jeff would be smart in signing Harang as he has value and is totally underpriced. Guillen is a good signing for the same reasons plus the positional eligibility. I don't think that Arod as a contract is worth the 48 bucks he would cost Jeff as he is gaining no value there. It is my belief that the contracted positions are there to benefit the owner the most by gaining the most value at the least cost. This became evident the day after both Noel and I signed Chipper and Griffey respectively. The contract prices were high and values were not returned. And I firmly believe Arod will not duplicate his numbers from last year. But that's just one man's opinion.

MessageDerksen should be signing Arod/Harang/Guillen. Your right Springer, its all or nothing every year. I will finish first or in the bottom two for sure once again this season, its all about the championships!

Messagenoel i am afraid i have very little ammunition with which to defend the debacle of '96 drink and draft. not only did i take franco but i think i also: came to the draft completely unprepared- having purchased a magazine on the way from the campsite at the vedder river; took juan gonzalez in the first round after using my only "time-out" and then trading for another one; started to doze off and so began drafting players from memory- and thus the Frank Viola and Joe Hesketh picks (the latter of whom it seemed had retired.. even worse than Japan.) So no, i have no intention of defending that shame. i agreed with pat about his recommendation that i be banned from ulb for a year! my only regret about that draft was that the only two men with enough stones to challenge me in the boxing ring was rob and jeff! boxing ring.. upperstairs hallway.. same thing.
