JUGGERNAUT Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Boone 04: $8M April .255 .284 .449 .733 +29 May .195 .303 .338 .641 +108 June .213 .290 .303 .593 +77 July .313 .366 .509 .875 +53 Aug .259 .308 .426 .734 +49 Sep .247 .345 .495 .840 +98 Look at his patience value. It jumps when he can't hit & then shrinks when he's hitting. That's just like Harris. Not worth the 8M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) Things have gotten awful quiet. My guess is the Sox are close to adding another infielder. I bet it happens by Wednesday. My gut tells me it will be Iguchi, but it may just be Cora. And the fact that KW hasn't said he is done, tells me he is up to something. We might just have a Soxfest announcement after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Based on rumors, Cora & Byrnes are out. That leaves ... Ray, Jimmy, Castillo, Polanco, Soriano, & Larkin. In terms of price: Soriano 7.4M, Ray 7.2M, Castillo 4.7M, Polanco 4M, Jimmy 2.5M, Iguchi 2M, Larkin 700K Factoring that in, then the pecking order is: 1-Jimmy,2-Iguchi,3-Durham,4-Castillo,5-Larkin,6-Polanco, & Soriano last. If you break it down between talent & cash: Iguchi: 2-3M/yr, no talent cost. Durham + cash: 5M. low talent cost. Soriano: 8M/yr. High talent cost. Castillo: 5M/yr. High talent cost. Jimmy: 4M/yr. High talent cost. Polanco: 5M/yr. Low talent cost. Larkin: 1M. no talent cost. Larkin & Durham are probably the only ones on the list where you can make only a 1 yr commitment.

babybearhater Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Harris 04: April .254 .299 .324 .623 +45 May .384 .439 .438 .877 +55 June .182 .316 .197 .513 +134 July .188 .333 .229 .563 +145 Aug .288 .347 .379 .726 +59 Sep .218 .291 .295 .586 +73 Harris shows great patience when he's not hitting & poor patience when he is. He is by far the worst option of the 9 choices for the CWS at 2B. Cora is a great improvement over Harris. Look at his numbers above. Cora shows patience whether he's hitting or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wow, those stats really do bring to light how much more patience cora has than willie. In fact, if you can please find some more numbers that will help prove the point that would be great. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Here's something I can see -- Cora drew 10 intentional walk last year beacuse he was batting in the #8 hole ahead of such offensive powerhouses as Jeff Weaver and Odalis Perez. Cora's (non-intentional)walk rate was 47 in 484 plate appearences, or 1 every 10.3 PAs Harris' (non-intentional)walk rate was 51 in 472 plate appearences, or 1 every 9.25 PAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, he is worse than cora. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
