2009 AL East Preview (Featuring Pete Abraham)
Published 3/6/2009 by Patrick Sullivan at Baseball Analysts
... best in the division and I have to agree with Pete. Youk's slugging jump last year was a blip, and not a new established norm. He's a really nice player, but not a perennial MVP candidate type. Second Base AVG OBP SLG Iwamura, A. .270 .346 .389 Pedroia, D. .307 .368 .456 Cano, R. .292 .331 .450 Hill, A. .277 .334 .408 Roberts, B. .282 .359 .424 Pete: I like Brian Roberts. Not sure I like him for four more years and $40 million. It's too bad ...

Brian Roberts Knows What’s Up
Published 3/3/2009 by jakerake at Rake Blog
... General leadoff hitter hype aside, Roberts is correct about his skill set. He is indeed an excellent baserunner, and his base-stealing prowess appears to be improving with age, having swiped an average of 42 bases per season at an 84% success rate over the past three seasons, compared to 26 per year at 74% during his first three full seasons in the majors. However, baserunning is just one part of Roberts’ skill, as he also does those really important things that form the basis of offensive production – drawing walks and hitting for power. Over the past five seasons, Roberts has ...

... Brian Roberts, 2B: Has been the subject of so many trade rumours involving the Cubs that if the trade is ever consummated, my reaction will be a solid 'meh'. Lived with noted steroid users Larry Bigbie and David Segui in late 2001. Might collect 500 career doubles if he continues to play in Camden Yards. ...

Roberts Shares Stolen Base Wisdom in New Book
Published 1/25/2009 by Matthew Taylor (noreply@blogger.com) at Roar from 34 - A Baltimore Orioles Blog
... This forces a player to continue to work on the details that can make the difference. Mentally, I prepare by watching film, asking for pitchers times, studying catchers, and looking for the best counts. ... I am faster at thirty one than I was at twenty three. I regularly work on my speed. Most players do not like to work on their running. However, everyone is capable of improving their quickness and speed. For me, the best part of stealing bases is I can impact a game immediately." Roberts has stolen 20 or more bases for six consecutive seasons; his highest totals have come ...

... it to Red Sox Nation to stuff the ballot box in favor of the good but not great Youkalis. Still, we've got one guy who was thought to be left for dead in Giambi who is out performing every other option the AL has and we've got a murderer's row of first basemen in the NL. Second base: NL: Dan Uggla = 161 (Reserve), 23 HR, 58 RBI, .375 OBP Chase Utley = 151 (NL Starter), 24 HR, 67 RBI, .381 OBP AL : Ian Kinsler = 151 (Reserve), 14 HR, 53 RBI, 23 Steals, .391 OBP Brian Roberts = 131, 7 HR, 32 RBI, 24 Steals, 57 Runs, .373 OBP Dustin Pedroia = 113 ...

Researching the enemy (and some scouting too)
Published 6/26/2008 by PHE at Pitchers Hit Eighth :: A St. Louis Cardinals blog
... If I could have Chrismas in June, I would ask for Brian Roberts wrapped up neatly and ready to play wearing the Birds-on-the-Bat.  Roberts was three-for-five, with a triple, two runs scored, and a run batted in.  He is a prototypical lead-off hitter (at least as prototypical as you can find one these days), and would easily seam into the Cardinal lineup.  Only problem?  I don’t envision the Orioles doing any selling as long as they are continuing to win.  I also don’t envision the Cardinals being able, or more importantly, willing, to send the ...

Monday, June 09, 2008 (6/09/2008 09:31:00 AM) - Al Here's a deal that makes sense: Brian Roberts for Rickie Weeks . The Brewers, who recently had two scouts watching the Orioles, are interested in Roberts, but it remains to be seen whether they are ready to give up on Weeks. Roberts, a more accomplished leadoff hitter and better defender than Weeks, is a more natural fit for a contender. The Orioles, meanwhile, could be patient with Weeks defensively, much as the Twins are being patient with the erratic Carlos Gomez. Weeks would be another young, athletic building ...

... My question remains unanswered: why let Marcum start the 8th? Gibby is certainly a players manager, but LOOGYs exist to face tough lefties in late inning situations. Four run leads or otherwise. Brian Roberts is certainly a tough lefty. I'm going to go ahead and dub him a ...

The Weekend Rumor Mill
Published 3/15/2008 by Bruce Markusen at Bruce Markusen's Cooperstown Confidential
... The Brian Roberts deal may now come to fruition, now that the Cubs have decided to include top relief prospect Jose Ceda as part of the return package. The latest rumors have the Cubs surrendering Ceda, right-hander Gallagher, lefty Donald Veal, and infielder Ronny Cedeno for Roberts, who would immediately become Chicago’s new second baseman and leadoff man. (Or at least he should be the leadoff man if Lou Piniella can lose his obsession with Alfonso Soriano.) If those rumors are accurate, the Orioles should jump at the offer. That’s a haul of three serviceable young pitchers ...

... Someone on Desipio pointed out that, while Brian Roberts would be an excellent addition to the Cubs, so would the Anaheim Angels’ Chone Figgins. While Roberts put up a .290/.377/.432 line last year exclusively as a second baseman while swiping 50 bases, Figgins was hitting ...

ESPN’s Fernando Vina Confirms HGH Use, Denies Steroids

... so Vina and Rocket and the rest of these frauds should just do the same. Hopefully, nobody is buying this, ‘I used it once’ bunk … put yourself in their shoes - you use it, you don’t get caught, and slowly, your numbers skyrocket (please take a look at Roberts’ stats leap from 2004 to 2005). All these cheaters make us wonder if in the last decade, baseball had as many PED users as Track & Field. It’s probably closer than everyone thinks. ...

Nothing From Nashville

... year, on the first day of the 2006 Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, the Cubs denied they had completed a deal with free agent pitcher Ted Lilly and announced that scouting director Tim Wilken had been named East Coast Scout of the Year. Today, the first day of the 2007 Winter Meetings in Nashville, may have been a little less action-packed. While various rumor factories linked the Cubs to a number of other teams' players--including Raul Ibanez, Brian Roberts, Josh Hamilton and of course, the Japanese stars Kuroda and Fukudome--and ...
