without Carter, I think the only power the Yanks really have is Sanchez, and who knows what he is going to do year 2. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:00 11
- Judge. Holliday can go for 20+ and I think Bird will get close to 20 if he's healthy. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 07:16 8
  - I really don't consider 20 homers power. 30+ I do. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:17 7
    - Then just Judge and Sanchez this year. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 07:18 6
      - and I think you are counting on Judge a lot more than I am. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:21 2
        
        He has the power to hit 50+ but if he has a big hole in his swing he won't come close to it. - Krusty Feb 10, 07:24 1
        
        oh, I am aware, but they will find holes quickly and he will have to adjust. - groiny Feb 10, 07:25
      - And like you I'm not sure what we'll get from Sanchez. I don't expect him to hit for power at anywhere near the rate he did last year. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 07:19 2
        
        all he has to do is hit .280 with 30 and he will be a super stud with his defense. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:20 1
        
        No doubt. I'd be very happy with that. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 07:25
- Regress - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 07:02 1
  - well, he ain't gonna hit 50 homers with a .320 batting average, I think this is obvious. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:04
Trumbo is not great in the field, but Carter takes the field with a frying pan instead of a glove. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:57 7
- Carter had a WAR of .9 last year. In a market where a WAR is worth 7-8m, that's a bargain. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 07:01 3
  - oh, I am not saying it is not a good value for the money, but this is also where WAR fails me. - groiny Feb 10, 07:03 2
    - But 41 homers is notable. Because it's not backed up with other stuff is why he is sub-1 but 41 is large. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 07:06 1
