NL West Outlook: 2nd Baseman
Published 3/31/2009 by Brendan Scolari at True Blue LA
... David Eckstein just wins baseball games... except when he doesn't. The lovable lawn-gnome probably won't be enough to help the Padres this year, projecting to be worth less than 1 WAR. Still, he's better than the altrenatives so he will be the starter. Edgar Gonzalez is best known for being Adrian Gonalez's brother. Matt Antonelli, considered the future at second base for the Padres heading into '08, put up an abysmal .657 OPS in AAA. If he can show anything this year he should be playing, because the rest of these guys are just filler. ...

In 328 at-bats, Gerut batted .296 with 14 homers, and put up a 130 OPS+. Yes, he’s a far superior option at the lead-off spot to Willy T-Virus.

... His 142 singles in 2002 is tied for 9th All Time The "sparkplug" really wasn't here that long and as Orlando Cabrera and Even the Izturis/Ayabr duo have shown, his defense was not rareified. But the king of the intangibles and making due with what you have made a mark on the Angels faithful and the franchise as well. Wildly popular as a player, he will likely go down in history as the most anamolous player of what will certainly be known as the steroid era. CAREER STATS

... favorite David Eckstein. I've never gotten the dislike for Eckstein as he's always struck me as a player who gives the game everything he has and then some. I understand the frustration by some people (FJM) when it comes to the hero worship by some sportswriters but that's not really Eckstein's fault. As a utility infielder who plays a capable SS & 2B he would be a good fit for the Royals and I can think of more reasons why DM should sign him than why he shouldn't. ...

... , who Doug has expressed interest in before, is available; as is Dave Eckstein . Both are solid players, but I have to believe both will get $3M or more a season, while providing an OBP number similar to Counsell in '08, with some doubles power. Or, just maybe, the Brewers are hoping Craig will take less to play for them, and sleep in his own bed half the summer, and are willing to risk losing him to save $1.5M or so. ...

... First up we’ve got the consistent-est player who ever did consist, Albert Pujols. I don’t think I need to recount Pujols’s consistency for anybody devoted enough to their Cardinals fandom to continue to read this blog; he’s never had an OPS+ under 150, he’s never hit fewer than 30 home runs, and he’s never not pronounced the silent g at the end of the word mang. To put one of Baseball Reference’s most notable phantom nicknames to work, he is ...

Baseball Knowledge 101: Batting Average vs. OPS
Published 8/4/2008 by HighLeveragePerformer at The Crawfish Boxes
... In 2006, David Eckstein had an ok year overall (for a guy that wear footsie pajamas to sleep in). He hit .292, which when you consider an average major league hits around .265ish, is far above average. The .300 BA has been lauded by in-game commentators as a magical marker for any batter. It is a round number that does separate the top echelon of high BA guys from their average or below average counterparts. A look behind his batting average, however, betrays the admiration one might have for Mr. Eckstein. His OPS in the leadoff spot was a mere .694. If you click on Eckstein's ...

... and late situations and a Pujolsian 1.029 in tie games. For his career he’s been pretty average in these situations but, all in all, not a bad player to have at the plate. Still, did anyone anticipate a bomb into the right-center field bullpen? Whooda thunkit? Strangely, it wasn’t all that long ago when a similar, yet even more clutch walk-off grand slam occurred. In 2005, the Cards were trying to follow up their 105 win season and were on their way to another 100 win season when this guy -- all 5’6" and 170 lbs. of him muscled up and ...

Stairs And Eckstein Linked To Dodgers?

... about trading for Julio Lugo back in 2006. I don’t mind trading for the guy, but it all depends on the value that the Dodgers give up. If it means the Dodgers have to part with top prospects (like they did for Lugo), then I’m completely against acquiring somebody who might end up as a backup. No, I don't have any trust in Nomar to stay healthy, but I can’t say Eckstein is such a significant upgrade that it would be worth trading away anything good. All of those negatives aside, Eckstein has put up consistently solid OBP in the past 4 years, and I wouldn’t mind giving up a ...
