UCB National League Central Predictions

... St Louis to forget the job he did turning around a proud, but stale and moribund franchise into a perennial winner.  He’s already established the base for a new era in Cincinnati with young talent, and as long as he can keep Dusty Baker from overusing their young starting pitchers (oh, who am I kidding?) the Reds should be on the rise for several years to come. Houston Astros - 70 wins (tops).  Great, they signed Pudge Rodriguez.  They still have Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt.  Is there any other reason to watch this ...

Lance Berkman's and Larry Walker's WAR

... Trying to find a player similar to Lance Berkman isn't easy.  He's fairly low on PECOTA's sim score, and that's probably because Lance is a rather unique player.  Finally, I stumbled across Berkman's Sim Score on Baseball Reference and I decided to look at his "Through Age 32" comparables to use as a loosely predictive tool. ...

Howard's Snub

... and Fat Elvis have put up monster numbers this season and deserved to make the NL squad ahead of Howard. The other NL first baseman on the roster—Adrian Gonzalez—made the team because he was chosen as San Diego’s lone representative. However, since the game is being played at Yankee Stadium, the DH is in play. Pujols is the NL’s starting DH. That frees up a first base slot for Howard. There was easily room for Howard to make the squad as either a manager’s selection or a “Final Vote” selection. Instead, the NL leader in home runs and RBIs is sitting at home (or wherever he’s ...

A smooth .995 OPS and three steals means Berkman is off to another great start.

Monday Missives: Astronomique

Dear Cecil Cooper, You have a difficult job. You stepped in as the interim manager of the struggling Astros in the middle of last season. Though it was hardly your fault, the team finished with its first losing season in almost a decade. The Astros offense was buoyed by a strong season from Carlos Lee, a solid–if down–year from Lance Berkman, and the emergence of rookie Swiss Army Knife Hunter Pence. With Ed Wade’s addition of Miguel Tejada, the Astros have both solidified a solid offensive core and ...

Coming into the 2007 season, Berkman has 259 homers to his credit to go along with four All-Star appearances. He is, at the risk of getting overly technical, a beast. ...

Goat Riders: Ranking Central: First Base

... - I didn't realize what a good year LaRoche had last year with Atlanta. 32 homers and a .352 OBP equals solid production for any team, let alone the Pirates. He's still younger than me, so he's solidly in his prime (as am I, for that matter) and so he's primed for a career year. A nice pickup for the Pirates. Brad Eldred is pretty bad. No average, no patience, solid power. In other words...a Pirate. I'm guessing LaRoche will get the majority of the playing time. Houston Astros Lance Berkman - Berkman was the first baseman for the majority of last year, so I'm going with him for this position. Berkman can rake. He can also hit, a skill much more useful on the diamond unless you happen to be a grounds keeper 2 . Lance Berkman is one of the more dominant hitters in the league, possessed of both patience and power. Still, in a division with Pujols and Lee, he'll always take the bronze.
