and he is an excellent defender. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:17
Fenway is NOT Oakland. - groiny Dec 28, 14:14 21
- 20 to 40 pts seems extraordinarily high. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:27 18
  - one hit a week can add .50 points to a batting average IIRC - groiny Dec 28, 14:35 17
    - adding a hit a week isn't easy to do. you're only getting 20-30 ABs a week as a full-time player. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:38 1
      - in most cases, yes, but Oakland is notorious for robbing hitters of at bats with all that foul ground. - groiny Dec 28, 14:40
    - I'd also wager in a ballpark that size, he'll lose one hit a week by not being able to bloop something in front of the OFers - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:37 14
      - career .283 hitter with .342 OBP, .720 OPS. I am betting he tops that playing in a better hitters park. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:41 13
        
        He's a lefty hitter without power. He's not going to get cheap hits off the Monster. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:42 12
        
        we will see soon enough.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:48 11
        
        I see no reason to assume he'll get 500 AB's since he's a part-time player in Oakland and Boston's better - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:51 10
        
        also, compare his part time numbers this season with your own Markakis. - groiny Dec 28, 14:54 6
        
        Trust me, this isn't the indictment you think it is. Markakis has been awful for his salary for the last 3 years. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:55 5
        
        Also, Markakis' lowest OPS+ in his career is 106; Sweeney's highest is 99. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:58 2
        
        again, ballpark factors pretty big into that number. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 14:59 1
        
        No, the OPS+ is park-adjusted. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
        
        there are 20 teams would love to have Markakis on their teams - groiny Dec 28, 14:57 1
        
        I wish we could find one of them to take him. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:59
        
        this is the blurb from RotoWorld.... - groiny Dec 28, 14:52 2
        
        Yep, nothing offensive there (other than he will platoon most likely) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 14:54 1
        
        even if he platoons, 400+ AB is likely, and he was injured for a chunk of this year - groiny Dec 28, 14:55
- I doubt he starts, I think Kalish gets the job and Sweeney is the 4th. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 14:26
- but the BoSox fans are just about as obnoxious as Raider fans :) -- nm - Capstern Dec 28, 14:19
