I don't think I'd want two injury-prone starters on the team. If it's like a minor league deal, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shago Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I would not be surprised to see Jorge Cantu sign a one year deal with the Sox. Also think he underperformed in Texas and could be a good utility player for us. DFA Teahen ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantu is terrible. you can do far worse than jorge cantu, the 3 times hes got 600 ABs in his career he put up lines of .286/28/117 (an mvp candidate) .277/29/95 and .289/16/100...if we get 75% of that production from Morel/Teahen id be amazed and for 850,000 my goodness i think thats a helluva bargain for the padres. He didnt exactly have a bad year last year either when he was with the marlins he was on pace for about 15hr and 77 rbis while hitting around .260, if morel/teahen can do that this teams gonna be scary as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 youre sayin youd rather have brent morel and mark teahen over a guy making $850,000 whos averaged 18/83/37(doubles).274 the last 3 years( the team ranks from last year would put him tied for 5th with lexi in HR, 4th in RBIs, 1st in doubles by 7, and one point behind pierre for 4th in BA) and thats including last season where he only played 127 games...yes he'll strike out 100 times more than likely but with that kind of production coming from a guy whos making so little and would bat 7th or 8th i think itd be foolish to say he wouldnt make this team a lot better....i just read that fangraphs article on lexi...talk about underrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Josh Fields. I know Teahen sucks but he's not going anywhere. You've closed the book on Morel already? Well I haven't. Not even close. I'd much rather give Morel a shot over a 4 WAR player the last three years combined. You say he's getting $850K? Well that's for a reason. When you're going into your 8th season at 29 and that's what you're making it's usually because you're not that good.

Rooftop Shots Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sheesh! As you look at the first basemen on that list, if you take ONLY the healthy parts that still remain on each of them, pull them off, and then glue them all together, you may be able to construct One Healthy Body! I call it "The Mister Potato Head Kit" of free agent firstbasemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to look past defense when making an argument about who is better, esp when i was drunk as i was last night. No i havent closed the books on morel but if he comes anywhere near the kinda of production cantu put up the previous 2 years before last i will s*** my pants. i see cantu vs morel lookin somethin like this .265/15/88 (low power numbers because hes in petco, also see 40+ doubles) vs .265/10/60....i was indeed looking past his D. totally f***ed up the quotes in this bad boy Edited February 4, 2011 by 2nd_city_saint787 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
