Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Red Sox ASK EDES Cabrera coming back? August 30, 2004 Boston Globe baseball scribe Gordon Edes weighs in on the Olde Towne Team in this edition of the Ask Edes mailbag. ADVERTISEMENT Regarding the future shortstop situation, I think it would be smart for the Sox to send Cabrera to arbitration, and get a 1 or 2 year deal done. At the end of his contract, Hanley Ramirez will probably be ready. Also, what are the chances for Youkilis for AL Rookie of the Year? Dan, Andover A: Why do you consider the wild-card to have been a "successful innovation"? We'll never again see a pennant race between two great teams (see Joe Sheehan's recent piece in baseballprospectus.com, which expresses what a lot of fans I know have been saying). It may have been good for the Red Sox, but that's not the same as "good for baseball" (and anyway it's dramatically lowered the stakes in all Yankee/Red Sox races). Steve, New York, NY A: How close are the figures between Sox management and Pedro Martinez, Jason Varitek, and Derek Lowe? Do you see the Sox going after any higher-profile free agents like Edgar Renteria, Carl Pavano, and Carlos Beltran in the offseason? George, Schenectady

His fielding percentage at second base of .989 is the highest of anyone playing more than 800 games there. For seven full years out of his 16 big league seasons, Sandberg never made a single throwing error. Similarities in Career Paths Two young men from opposite sides of the country taking such similar paths to success, both infielders, both strong hitters and strong fielders, both dedicated to the game from childhood.

I am going to e-mail Joe my comments, but a great rebuttal on this argument is made by Aaron Gleeman today. But like most breakout players, Willis has his skeptics. Dontrelle saw his ERA fall to 3.30 after a second half in which his earned run average was 4.60. He started to allow more home runs, walks, and hits, trends that scare away most fantasy owners. But the reason to hope with Willis is his age, since last year was only his age 21 season. Last year Dontrelle became the fourteenth southpaw in the last 80 years to have twelve or more wins while being twenty-one. The group, chronologically, with their ERA+: Curt Simmons- 1950- 120 Mike McCormick- 1960- 129 Wade Blasingame- 1965- 94 Marcelino Lopez- 1965- 116 Vida Blue- 1971- 183 Pete Falcone- 1975- 91 Frank Tanana- 1975- 136 Tom Underwood- 1975- 90 Britt Burns- 1980- 143 Fernando Valenzuela- 1982- 121 Jim Abbott- 1989- 97 Steve Avery- 1991- 116 C.C.

Just over one year later, Avery was winning a National League Championship Series MVP, and he won 47 games from 1991-93 as the Braves began their still-unbroken string of division titles. He was, in other words, a deciding factor in helping his team win championships. That’s the essence of an elite prospect. While Avery’s career took a path few anticipated—early highs followed by a sudden loss of arm strength and drawn-out period of dwindling returns—he fit exactly the profile the Braves had set out for him. He was a front-of-the-rotation power pitcher, and only John Smoltz surpassed him as a big-game pitcher for Atlanta. Players with a peak value like Avery, short career and all, are what scouts look for in the draft, what organizations look for in their farm systems, and what Baseball America looks for when it compiles its Top 100 Prospects list. The goal of teams is to win championships, and when ranking prospects, we seek out players who can help their teams do that.
