Papelbon has the potential to be a #1 starter, but is about 2 yrs. away. Pedroia and Moss will be major leaguers, but will not be much help in SS. Lester is ...

I have been offered Adrian Beltre and a round 36 pick for Clement/DBell/Polanco in an NL keeper league. I'm hurting for starting pitching now, with Sheets on...
Anyone who claims to know exactly where Beltre's true talent level lies is lying. Your guess here is as good as anyone's: this deal comes down to how much you...
... Clement and Beltre have the same cross-over problem, so I'd take this. Bell and Polanco are useful filler, but Beltre's the big dog here. Actually, I would...
Do it. See if you can get a serviceable SP back, even if you have to throw in something else. Beltre isn't hitting, but you have to get him if you can....
Brandon McCarthy (but he's taken already) the other pitchers I like will likely contribute from the bullpen if jumped to the majors: Hayden Penn Ervin Santana ...
Scoresheetwiz is looking into the notion that Slugging Against - Batting Average Against in combination with Strikeout to Walk ratio is the best measure of how...
If your DH is injured, and your top RPH (call him Wells) has a much better range than someone in your starting line-up at the substitute's position (call him...
John, I am 95-percent sure that the sim will put the superior fielder into the lineup and DH the plodder. Given his current struggles, I am seriously...
The player who is listed at the DH position can not play the field that game. If he does the pitcher must bat. The DH can be pinch hit for but the pinch hitter...
Thanks, Greg. Actually, I've been platooning him all year with DeJesus. Wshew! However, Hidalgo, who I put in full time because he doesn't have as much of a...
Thanks, but I don't think that quite answers the question I thought I was asking. Here's the actual example in greater detail: Travis Lee 1b is about to go on...
I'm pretty sure that Wells will get moved to the OF and Hidalgo to DH. The algorithm goes something like this 1) Get the player with the best PH number and put...
At one point it didn't work this way. I recall my defensive sub firstbaseman came into a game as a substitute DH, while the lower fielding rated starting...
No matter how you evaluate Beltre's true talent level, one thing is certain. He is at an age where he will get a lot better in the five to six years. I would...
Through Sunday, Baltimore has the second-best record in the majors at 17-7 (a .708 winning percentage). The White Sox have the best at 18-7 (.720). Since 1976,...
When evaluating players for trade purposes, it makes more sense to look at a players future performance rather than his past. What Beltre has done in his...
The past is kinda the only thing we have with which to predict the future, no? It's really not the April 05 that concerns me, and others, about Beltre. It's...
