Although I love his speed and he's been a thorn on the side of the Yankees, his three best seasons of OPS+ were 101, 103 and 117. His SB numbers have been declining every year since 2005. <br /><br />So Brian Roberts isn't an apt comparison. Maybe Bip Roberts.<br /><br />-Andrew<br />http://www.noyoureatowel.net/<br />http://twitter.com/NoYoureATowelAndrew Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605893532097091359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786949371548243443.post-85145473128249845482009-05-01T18:18:00.000-04:002009-05-01T18:18:00.000-04:00Canter's restaurant, I'm talking about signing Fig...Canter's restaurant, I'm talking about signing Figgins after the season, not trading for him. Also, he won't be type A most likely, only type B, so he'd garner one draft pick, not two, and he wouldn't cost the Yanks a draft pick. Anonymous, Cervelli has played at the major league level before. And if he can't we can re-sign Molina, his price isn't going to rise, or we could go out and get a Yorvit Torrealba type. Overall, our backup catcher isn't going to have a huge influence on whether we can or can't get Chone Figgins. I didn't say Figgins would sign cheaply for one or two years, I said at most he'd sign for 4 year $40mm, but it is more likely he'll sign for 3 years at $5-6mm per. That's around what Bobby Abreu and Orlando Hudson are making this year. Obviously a lot depends on the economy, and he could end up with 3 years/$24mm. but I don't 4 years $40mm is cheap, and 3 years $18mm isn't exactly a small salary either. And I strongly think that it is a good idea to keep the DH spot open to rest players. I'm not saying we should only have 8 everyday players, what I am saying is that by having Chone Figgins we can let everyone rotate through the DH spot as a way of resting players. Which is what Girardi was planning on doing, and was doing, before Nady got hurt this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786949371548243443.post-39157199780687933482009-05-01T17:30:00.000-04:002009-05-01T17:30:00.000-04:00Mike.

So we'd at most have him form age 32-36. That's "older" but not aging. And with his speed and athleticism I'm not extremely worried. Waswhining...Pena is alright, but he's not as fast and can't hit as well, and he doesn't know the pitchers around the league as well. Figgins studies all the pitchers and the game in general. He's your typical old-school leadoff hitter. Crafty Lefty, Figgins would get 4/$40mm at the very most (that's what Brian Roberts got, which is why I made the comparison). I see him more likely getting $5-6mm a year for 3 years. Anonymous, Figgins may not have a set position available, but he doesn't need one. As I said he can play left, center, right, third, short, and second. So if AJax, Swisher, A-Rod, Jeter, Cano, or whoever takes over left field get injured we have a replacement. I'm trying to avoid this Angel Berroa/Ramiro Pena situation again. Also, it's nice to be able to give our big hitters a rest once in a while, even if it just means putting them at DH, and having a sufficient replacement who can take the field and hit is very valuable. Also he can be a great pinch runner, like Dave Roberts was for the 04 Sox. Figgins gives us so many options, there is just no down side to him. And if the Red Sox get some young offense first catcher, we'll see him steal against em every time we face em.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786949371548243443.post-71879323251549461722009-05-01T15:25:00.000-04:002009-05-01T15:25:00.000-04:00Lame.

Arod can he be the same player without steriods? He couldnt hit a 90 + fast ball when he was taking them. Jeter getting old. Damon is a nice player but we already over paid for him once. The yankees have to get young. Lets see if ustin jackson can be the CF of the futrue bring in a Holliday, Ankiel, nady or bay . Let the older players go. Damon has played a horrible LF this year, and matsui is a full time dh.

I imagine Berroa gets sent down but I'd rather have Pena getting consistent bats at triple A than having to put up with part time service. <br /><br />Pena's glove work has been magical and if his batting continues to progress, this could be the start of something grand (Then there is this Hanley guy who'll be around the next time the Marlins get blown up -- he deserves the NY stage)waswhiningnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786949371548243443.post-91782451859508968812009-05-01T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:04:00.000-04:00While Figgins has been a huge thorn in the Yankees...While Figgins has been a huge thorn in the Yankees side for about five years now, I don't see how he fits onto our team next year. First, he lacks power for a corner outfield position. If the Yankees don't bring in a guy like Matt Holliday or Jason Bay, they are still likely to bring in a LF with pop. At the very least, if the team was to go with more a singles hitter in the OF, that player might be Jeter.<br /><br />Second, there are no available infield positions in the near future, unless Jeter is moved out of SS. In that case, the Yanks can move A-Rod to short, thus creating a hole at third. Well, you say, Figgins can play third. However, he's a BELOW average defensive player. His range isn't very good and his throws tend to sail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
