MLB free agent/draft question

TexasHeat — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 21:46:39 -0000

MLB free agent/draft question:

Ok, I need to know when losing a type A free agent (CC Sabathia-Brewers,) I know they receive 1 supplementary 1st round draft pick, but do they also get the Yankees' 1st round pick as well? If so, do the Blue Jays (AJ Burnett) receive the Yankees' 2nd round pick and the Angels (Mark Teixeira) get the Yankees' 3rd round pick? Is this how this works? Thanks for the help.

HERMIDA VS. PENCE

Which of these do you want and why, going forward? Obviously, these two are not prospects anymore, but I have no idea what to make of them at all. I went back and read John's old posts on these 2, but they are from 06' and that isnt helping me out much right now. They seem very similar to me in value to thier teams as well. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks to all.

Luke Hughes 2B, Minnesota Twins: Don't see him on John's review of his top 20 propects for the twins. Has anybody seen this guy play and does he project to a solid starter at 2b for the twins? Can he get some at bats next year on the major league level or is he further away than that? Thanks for any and all comments on Hughes, I'm trying to get a feeling if he will become a solid regular sooner rather than later. Thanks.

Longoria/Gordon/Zimmerman

TexasHeat — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:52:39 -0000

Ok guys, I have all 3 of these guys. Is Gordon's potential still as high as Longoria's? Is Zimmerman's ceiling anything like the other 2 guys? If you were trying to win in 09' who would be your guy? Not talking anything with salaries or anything like that, just who would you want? Keep in mind that Zimmerman is 7 mo's younger than Gordon and has had 2 years better already at that age than than Gordon put up last year. I've also heard that the new park in DC wasnt going to be an issue for hitters, meaning pretty average i guess. Thanks for the input, if there is any.

Boxscore Question

TexasHeat — Wed, 16 May 2007 17:09:25 -0000

Guys, I need some help trying figure out earned and unearned runs. I feel I know baseball pretty well, but sometimes I'm just way off trying to figure out what should or should not be an unearned run. Here is an example of the Indians game last night, take a look and let me know what you all think.

Bottom 6th: Cleveland

J. Crain relieved M. Guerrier

T. Hafner safe at first on third baseman N. Punto's fielding error

V. Martinez hit by pitch, T. Hafner to second

J. Peralta grounded out to pitcher, T. Hafner to third, V. Martinez to second

D. Dellucci hit sacrifice fly to center, T. Hafner scored

J. Michaels singled to right center, V. Martinez to third

J. Barfield doubled to deep center, J. Michaels and V. Martinez scored

K. Shoppach singled to right, J. Barfield scored

G. Sizemore homered to deep center, K. Shoppach scored

J. Rincon relieved J. Crain

C. Blake flied out to left

6 runs all unearned, 4 hits, 1 errors

Rangers Trade

TexasHeat — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 15:18:42 -0000

Carlos Lee to the rangers along with Nelson Cruz and a player to be named later. The Strangers give up Kevin Mench, Coco Cordero, Lance Nix. How good is Nelson Cruz????????? Can this possibly be a win for the Rangers? I am hoping they can sign Carlos Lee. Is Nelson Cruz the answer in Center Field the Rangers have been looking for?

THE ROCKET

TexasHeat — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 21:15:37 -0000

I'm wondering how much each of you would pay for 10 weeks or so of Roger (the rocket) Clemens? If you were your favorite teams' Genral Manager what would you give for him? I'm talking about best possible offer, no haggleing, no back and forth.
Should be interesting.

upton/lugo

TexasHeat — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:31:32 -0000

anyone know what the injury or the story of lugo leaving the game today against the o's? if he is injured. would this pave the way for upton to come up? or would the devil rays do something that no one would expect.
