His overratedness is what caused 2008 to be considered an "off-year" by the general public. I don't believe last year should be considered an off year, hence the quotation marks. P.S. Using OPS+ to judge a speedy defensive CF'er is sort of like using cargo capacity to rate a sports car. You have it backwards.

So you are suggesting we would move Teixeira to LF in 2010? I'm sure Lars will be ready by then, but I don't think Mark would be willing to go to LF so quickly(or should I say AT ALL).

But Jacoby has to show a teeny bit of plate discipline before we can use the all caps "WILL." Ken - you're a dick. John,

Teixeira is a known commodity, and could play LF once Lars is ready and Bay becomes a FA. Lars might be a big bat, but he’s still a couple of years away from impacting the MLB team.

I don't want M. Teixeira, because I belive Lars Anderson is the long term answer at 1b.
