60: I think they will if they don't have options, and as we've all discussed many times before, there are not many, if any, good options. There certainly aren't internal options at this point. And what is the point of trying to trade him for another SS? I could defnitely see them trying to sign him for 3 more years while Cumberland grows up or other options may become available.

Pat...I can't disagree with you that he may be worth that in the current baseball landscape, I just can't see the Pads dropping that kind of cash on him.

MB, I agree with you about Coors and Chase, but I was really surprised by how well he hits at Phone Co, which is generally considered a pitcher’s park, I believe.

CM, not exactly. He’s still good the other 25% of the time he’s on the road, just not as good as he is within the West. Also, even when he’s in Petco he’s still giving us plus defense at a premium position. I think Phantom’s post #35 shows pretty clearly he’s worth darn close to the numbers you put up (when inflation and revenue growth is taken into consideration).

Problem with that Pat is that he does still play fully 1/2 of his games at Petco...and only ~ 25% in other NL West parks...So 75% of the time he is stinky, but the other 25% he is good. Is that worth $12-$14mm per year to the Pads?

Pat, good stuff. It’s also probably a park factor issue, considering Coors and Chase field are the two best hitters parks in the NL. i.e., if we adjusted all of his road numbers by each park, they may look more similar.

Also, yeah, I agree that sample size is an issue with all of this splits stuff.

Anyway, I think I’m all parked out.

650 PA’s .265/.315/.480 I seem to be a bit optimistic about everybody. I sure as hell hope I'm right...
