I don't know baseball stats well so what does this mean:

273/.321/.403 (BA/SLG/OBP?)

Jays starting lineup;

C Zaun
1B Overbay
2B Hill
SS MacDonald
3B Glaus
O Rios
O Wells
O Johnson
D Thomas

As was said, McGowan is a monster in waiting. Chacin vs Litsch might be arguable, though I'd give it to Litsch after his year last year.

Litsch was insanely lucky last year but his minor leauge numbers were pretty good so he could get better. How long do you think before Synder/Lind replaces Reed Johnson? The guy's a "gamer" and his defense is good but he's only ever had one good offensive season (two if you count 03 when he was just about average).

There have been rumblings about Lind getting traded because of the lack of space and I have to think Snider's at least two years away (A ball in '07). If Lind sticks around, I have to think the job is his in '09 and maybe even later '08. Reed was great in '06 (.319/.390/.479) and awful in '07 (.236/.305/.320, due in large part to injuries) so it depends on which one shows up.

CC beat out Beckett for AL Cy Young....seriously?

[/ QUOTE ]
Are you really a Red Sox fan? You honestly think Beckett had a better year than CC? You do realize that the Cy Young voting is before the playoffs, right? Right? Really? You think that Beckett was so far superior than CC that there should have been no question? Really?
[/Bill Simmons style rant that is annoying to read]

Check out firejoemorgan.com. He did a recent post on the AL Cy Young race.

Mets re-sign the 32 year-old 2B Luis Castillo for 4 years, $25M.

That being said, Uribe is not significantly worse. Not really sure why they did this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why wouldn't they just move Uribe to 2B?

Or trade him.

They probably will move Uribe to 2nd, even though they have a much cheaper, more patient player there in Richar.

Trade him where? Does anyone really have a need for Uribe?

Uribe's a solid player. No idea if other teams know that, but he is.

Richar isn't very good

They won't move Uribe to 2B because they have Richar ready to take over at 2B. I am not sure what kind of trade market there would be for a player like Uribe.
