Delgado has cooled off, folks

[Guest AG/DC]

It's a possiblity. Evans and Carp are also there.

The reality is that this team looks pretty good for the near future, not least because Omar Minaya didn't deal at the deadline in an attempt to save to save our dodgy present.

[Guest AG/DC]

Three-run homer to lead off the scoring.

This is why it's no time to get your bets down. Let the games be played.

We must sign Delgado to a 10 year 20 mil per year deal NOW!

Delgado in August

.259 AVG, .347 OBP, .494 SLG, 85 AB, 5 2B, 5 HR, 21 RBI, 12 R, 12 BB, 17 K

Edit: Not including today's game.

[Guest AG/DC]

Pretty much dead on his season numbers of .260 / .344 / .493.

[Elster88]

Yah his numbers are not terrible, but ideally I'd like them for a guy hitting 6th or below. Without looking I'd guess he puts up below average numbers for a first baseman, but since we get above average out of CF and SS that should be ok. And if Church stays healthy in right and continues his hitting he could bat fifth. I'd be concerned having below average production from first AND left, but maybe we get a left fielder (or maybe Murphy can keep it up) and maybe CF and SS are enough to counteract that.

I'd still like to throw the Wilpons' money at Teixiera but that might get out of hand. If Wright, Reyes, or Beltran ever missed a lot of time we'd be in some trouble with our current lineup.

[Farmer Ted]

Yeah, frigid last night. 4-2-2-6 line score.

]Without looking I'd guess he puts up below average numbers for a first baseman

Ranked by OPS he's smack in the middle (7th) of the 13 NL 1st baseman who qualify with enough ABs
- Behind Pujols, Berkman, Teixeira, Fielder, A. Gonzalez, & Conor Jackson
- Ahead of Derrick Lee, LaRoche, Votto, Loney, Howard & Jacobs

[Guest AG/DC]

A split OPS+ of 99 when comparied to other firstbasemen, so yeah, almost dead average, but, technically at least, below average.

And that's probably a 100 or 101 if you give him back his homer at Yankee Stadium.

[Guest AG/DC]

Delgado is a walking streak of sex, folks.

="MFS62"]Isn't jumping to conclusions the sport that's going to replace baseball in future Olympics?

It will be played on this:
