Pujols and Sizemore are also in the mix for me, but obviously from different teams so that really doesn't apply to this. <BR/>Lets get some pitching starters and relievers and a new pitching and bullpen coach and plan for 2009.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-7894437618626418352008-09-15T09:03:00.000-04:002008-09-15T09:03:00.000-04:00I've always liked Sizemore's six year $24 million ...I've always liked Sizemore's six year $24 million (with a team option for year #7) contract that kicked in at the start of 2007. Unfortunatley there is no real #2 for the 2008 season. <BR/><BR/>Even though it seems like he's been around forever, Pujols is "officially" only 28 and would qualify for this list. As with the Cleveland example, I don't know if there is a real #2.

I look forward to the day when a stat such as Justin's can be updated regularly. <BR/><BR/>LeeLee Panashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148118898954670307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-75949984328267970702008-09-14T17:25:00.000-04:002008-09-14T17:25:00.000-04:00Lee, I'm sure you're aware of the major limitation...Lee, I'm sure you're aware of the major limitations of WARP, so I'll instead encourage you to use Justin's stats for a complete measure of player value.<BR/><BR/>http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pfk_WuYpfdux2FC_hs6ROEQ<BR/><BR/>I, subjectively, would rather have Cabrera/Granderson than Wright/Reyes, mostly because I see Granderson as the best player of all four, with Cabrera and Wright nextAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-11020229845710131832008-09-14T14:13:00.000-04:002008-09-14T14:13:00.000-04:00That's an interesting question.

It's hard to judge how much the total of the contracts would change things because that depends on each team's budget. Ultimately, that's an important consideration though.<BR/><BR/>Is there any duo in particular where you Lee Panashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148118898954670307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-91207451330891602602008-09-14T09:40:00.000-04:002008-09-14T09:40:00.000-04:00If you had to take into account overall value (con...If you had to take into account overall value (contracts) would you change the order at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
