Links For Monday; Pavano, Washburn, Zobrist
Tyler's Take On Sports — Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Here are your links for the office on Monday morning... To start, I just wanted to point out that Ben Zobrist of the Tampa Bay Rays has been worth 3.7 Wins Above Replacement. Freaking Ben Zobrist! Only his teammate, Evan Longoria, ranks higher. With Joe Maddon calling the shots, his ticket to St. Louis for the Midsummer Classic is almost a foregone conclusion, and he deserves it. Speaking of Zorilla, John Sickels did a prospect retro on Zobrist last week. Sickels touches on how he displayed excellent plate discipline and strike zone awareness in the minors, writing, "Zobrist has shown more power the last two years ...

Chavez injury takes chunk out of Seattle's great D
Circling The Bases — ... a new man at the age of 34 and his secondary numbers show him as the same mediocre pitcher, but having three center fielders chasing down everything in the gaps made him look a lot better. Seattle's outfield defense will still be plenty strong without Chavez, because Gutierrez is an amazing center fielder and Suzuki will probably win his ninth straight Gold Glove in right field, but with Wladimir Balentien now in left field they've gone from spectacular to merely very good amid rumors that Washburn is on the trading block. _
