Just to make your job a little easier, here is the writeup for Francouer: He is worth zero, stay away.

Thanks for the column.

How about Bruce or Blanks

@Donald—I’m not a huge Frenchy fan, either, but he did show some signs of improvement in NY. We’ll see about that when I write up the column.

@John—You’re quite welcome, and thanks for the suggestions. Bruce is on next week’s list, and I’ll toss Blanks in the mix with Francoeur, unless I decide to do one on the entire SD OF, another interesting off-season question.

Thanks to both for the comments!

How about Jake Fox?

Brent—

Jake Fox should be a great discussion. I’ll add him to the mix, too.

Thanks!

There was a request for Carpenter over on the AL ‘wire.

Michael Street said...

Thanks, Rob—I’ll look at him next week, as everyone wants to talk hitters, but not pitchers.

How about some more pitchers, fellas?

Dan Runzler? Rookie with high gb% and k/9 numbers in the minors…

Dave said...

Scott Elbert? He’s got to have higher upside than Vincente Padilla as a starter right?

John said...

If you’re talking pitchers, I’d like to know what the outlook is for Latos.

What about Blanton?  where did that 2.5 K/9 jump come from?  I checked 08 to see if it had anything to do with the league switch but he was his same self when he got traded.  Not sure what to make of that.

Thank to Evan, Dave and John for the new suggestions—I’ll put those on the schedule, too.

Thanks for the good read. It might have been a good time to slip in Iannetta here with the Colorado theme; he went from one my 16 keepers to waiver fodder this year.

If we’re talking pitchers, one that burned me this year (and one with an uncertain future) was Ricky Nolasco…
