Looking Ahead
Published 3/25/2009 by Jay (JayGargiulo@gmail.com) at Fack Youk
... I get the feeling the Red Sox will sign Jason Bay before the season is over, but if they don't, I hope the Yankees take serious interest. He gets slept on because he spent most of his career with the Pirates, but look at his numbers. He had a down year in '07, but the guy can hit. ...

Floyd opts for security; how about Danks and Quentin?

... and he went 11-2 with a 4.68 ERA over 144 1/3 innings. Danks, on the other hand, took a beating his rookie year (6-13, 5.50 ERA over 130 innings). Danks also has the disadvantage of pitching for a team that has yet to ink a pitcher to a five-year deal. At least Floyd's extension sets a baseline for Danks, and I think Lester's precedent will give him a significant boost over his rotationmate. Prediction: Four years, $20 milion with a club option. *** Carlos Quentin Best comp: Jason Bay Contract: Four years, $18.25 million: Like Lester and Danks, Bay is comparable to Quentin ...

2009 AL East Preview (Featuring Pete Abraham)

... speaking, I am really looking forward to watching the young outfield in Baltimore play, with Felix Pie, Adam Jones, and Nick Markakis included. Pie was a steal from Chicago and, if motivated, could be just as good as the other two players. Toronto could have the AL Rookie of the Year with Snider in left, who will share the position (and DH) with Adam Lind, another good, young player.

Left Fielder Batting Ninth: Does Not Compute

... terribly likely to steal them efficiently. And unfortunately, he's not the greatest defensive shortstop in the history of the planet. He's going to play left field. I know PNC has a big left field, but that simply is not a very important position, which is why teams tend to stick sluggers who can't play defense there. The average left fielder makes about two plays per nine innings. Jason Bay, as the primary left fielder in PNC the last few years, averaged around that same number. The majority of those are routine plays that don't require a ...

LaRoche was finally going to be part of an organization that would give him an opportunity to play and wouldn’t be held back any longer by the oppressive Dodgers. What he really needed was a chance to establish himself and get comfortable at the major league level so that he could translate his success from the minors to the big leagues. ...

PITTSBURGH PIRATES - ALL TIME HOME GROWN TEAM vs. ALL TIME ACQUIRED TEAM

... the Giants turned him into a second baseman, his average dropped 30 points and he was miserable. (He was still a .300 hitter, but a miserable .300 hitter.) The Pirates traded for him then put him back at third base and he won two more batting titles. Plus he batted .375 with a .900 OPS in the 1979 World Series. Why couldn't he do that at second base? The brain is a very complicated organ. STARTING LEFT FIELDER JASON BAY As a Red Sox fan I would like to thank the Pittsburgh Pirates for developing Jason Bay ...

That's a Wrap

... In 53 team games since being brought to Boston, Jason Bay has played in 49, hitting .293/.370/.527 for a 129 OPS+. Extrapolated to 162 team games, Bay would have compiled the following counting numbers: 28 HR, 113 RBI, 165 hits, 290 total bases and 70 extra-base hits. He would have finished among the league's top 10 in slugging, OPS, RBI and total bases. He would have led the league in runs scored, one more than Pedroia's 118. Not quite what Manny Ramirez was doing 3,000 miles away, but very good in his own right. ...

Forgetting Manny, one Bay bomb at a time
Published 8/21/2008 by Dan Lamothe, Red Sox Monster at Red Sox Monster
... In case you missed it amid the train wreck that was the Clay Buchholz Express last night, Jason Bay hit his fourth home run in a Red Sox uniform, going 2-for-5 and raising his average .347 in 18 games with Boston . Bay also has logged 18 RBI in 18 games, a Manny-like pace that'll be near-impossible to keep, but is certainly welcome while it lasts. Should Sox fans be surprised? Maybe it makes me a pessimist, but I never foresaw Bay nearly matching Manny's robust production in L.A. Many problems have dogged the Sox in recent weeks -- injuries and lousy pitching chief among -- ...

They're hoping he can pitch for them in September, though there still is plenty of rehab work to go."

... Here’s why I’m hopeful. All Bay has done in his career is rake in a lineup with NO protection. 2007 was a knee-induced aberration. He’s a good OBP guy, he’s been as productive in his career as Manny has been the past few seasons and he’s entering his prime instead of exiting it. ...

Jason Bay: Was he worth it?

... more valuable, with 19 win shares to Manny's 15. Honestly, this was the best return we could have hoped for. Ramirez is 36 and very expensive - to turn him into a year plus of Jason Bay is pretty good. Top prospects miss all the time, and draftees often never succeed in the bigs (looking at you, Hansen). I'm excited about this deal, and optimistic that Bay will succeed in Boston; he may even become Manny's long-term replacement.
