61. The Baseball Guru - Valuing Free Agents By Eric Gartman matt stairs doesn’t really look like a baseball player. He is listed at 59 and 217 pounds. He looks like a rec league softballer who goes out after a game http://baseballguru.com/egartman/analysisericgartman04.html

Eric Gartman Valuing Free Agents Just look at the popularity of fantasy leagues. But valuing a free-agent player in the real world is no easy task. How can a GM predict the future production of a player? There are certain rules which should serve as guidelines for any GM looking at a prospective player. First is age: An average player will be in prime from about age 25-32. Afterwards, his productivity will drop off rapidly. Above-average players will be in their prime during these years, and still may produce for a couple of years afterwards. Superstars, however, can be productive well into their late thirties. Also important is not just quality during these peak year, but at what age a hitter started in the majors. A hitter who is putting up good numbers before age 25 will probably continue to do so past age 32. But beware hitters who start at age 25: Once past 32, they are a dangerous gamble. It is also important to note a hitters plate discipline. Predicting pitching is harder since pitchers often bloom late in the their careers. Furthermore, early bloomers tend to have arm trouble and often burnout early, like Dwight Gooden and Steve Avery.

all-baseball.com , part of the most valuable network , presents: The Cub Reporter Analyzing the Cubs to death since July, 2001. most valuable all-baseball cub reporter transaction guy ... baltimore chop March 27, 2002 FIRST BASE Last year: Matt by Christian Ruzich FIRST BASE Last year: Matt Stairs (89G), Fred McGriff (49G), Ron Coomer (36G), Julio Zuleta (35G), Others (5G) This year: McGriff The trade-deadline acquisition of Fred McGriff was supposed to put the Cubs over the hump and into the playoffs last year. Unfortunately, McGriff was too busy playing first base to help out in the bullpen. He did exactly what was expected of him in his 49 games: drove in 41 runs, slugged .559, and provided that ultimate intangible, protection, for Sammy. He also solidified a very quicksand-like first base situation. In the off-season, he decided to re-up, giving the Cubs a nice bridge to the future, Hee Choi, who will play in Iowa this season. Despite his advancing age, McGriff appears capable of ably manning his position and barring injury, you can pencil him in for 25-30 homers, 90-100 RBI, 900-950 OPS, and 30-35 “Crime Dog” references on SportsCenter. As for Julio Zuleta, it appears he can’t even get a gig in Japan, so it may be Northern League time for him unless the Cubs can swing a deal with Anaheim. Posted on Mar 27, 2002 at 10:48 AM

PRINT THIS STORY Old-school baseball is Stairs' way Brewers outfielder has blue-collar view By GARY D'AMATO of the Journal Sentinel staff Last Updated: March 20, 2002 Phoenix - Baseball locker rooms are filled these days with bulked-up power hitters who pump iron, gobble supplements and look more like bodybuilders than outfielders. Then there's Matt Stairs. It's not that the Milwaukee Brewers' rightfielder has a bad physique. It's that he has, well, no physique. At a squat 5-foot-9 and 220 pounds, Stairs is a pick-up truck in a pack of muscle cars. Balding and scruffy in a just-woke-up sort of way, he's a throwback player who gets his uniform dirty, doesn't take himself too seriously and isn't above pulling up a stool at the local watering hole. If Stairs, 34, produces the way the Brewers hope he can, Milwaukee is going to fall in love with this guy. He's as blue-collar as Cudahy.

Sports Pirates/MLB Columnists Photos ... MLB Overview Paul Meyer's Baseball Notebook: A little help, please? Marlins' Willis soaring, while the Rocket has hot start throttled by a lack of run support Sunday, May 15, 2005 By Paul Meyer, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette We all know there's no crying in baseball. Sometimes, too, there's no justice, either. Well, except for David, that is. Take the cases of Florida's Dontrelle Willis and Houston's Roger Clemens Both have pitched extremely well this season. Maybe even better than that. As the week drew to a close, Willis owned a 1.08 earned run average, having allowed just six earned runs in 50 innings. Clemens was right behind, possessing an ERA of 1.10 on a yield of only six earned runs in 49 innings. Yet Willis had a 7-0 record, while The Rocket's payload was a measly two victories, plus a loss. Willis came close to getting his first loss Wednesday night, but he beat offensively challenged Houston, 2-1, despite needing 48 pitches to get through the first two innings. "The way he started off, his control wasn't sharp," Florida manager

He seems to think he can build a playoff contending team with a $30 million payroll, a football stadium, uncertain ownership, and indifferent fans. The A's really have become the red-headed stepchild of the Bay Area, with the Giants picking off the plum TV and radio outlets and opening a new stadium next season, while the Warriors and Raiders get Oakland to shell out big bucks to renovate their homes (trashing the A's home in the process.) The current A's owners had a deal to sell the team to a group that promised to keep them in Oakland, but major league owners effectively killed the deal by postponing any decision on ownership changes until their task force on small market teams completes its work. Even though the A's were in the wild-card race down the stretch, nobody came to see them.

BASEBALL HOME ROSTER SCHEDULE STATISTICS ... ATHLETICS HOME Head Coach Steve Owens 6th Season St. Lawrence '87 E-mail Coach Owens After leading Le Moyne to its second trip to the NCAA Division I Tournament in 2003, Owens was named the American Baseball Coaches Association/Diamond Sports Company Division I Northeast Region Coach of the Year. The Dolphins won the most MAAC regular season contests in program-history (22), captured the regular season league crown and the MAAC Championship. The Dolphins opened league play with 17 consecutive wins and finished atop the regular season standings for the first time in program history. Owens guided Le Moyne to wins over then-No. 11 Wake Forest of the ACC and Big East foe West Virginia in 2003. His team spent the majority of the season in the CollegeBaseballInsider.com Northeast Region Top 15. In each of his first five seasons at Le Moyne, Owens has seen at least one of his players move into the professional ranks. Shortstop Casey Saucke signed with the Baltimore Orioles organization following the 2000 season and left-handed pitcher Jaime Steward was drafted by the Anaheim Angels in 2001. Junior pitcher Chris Barlow was picked in the ninth round by the Montreal Expos in the 2002 amateur draft and senior hurlers Brian Mattoon (Texas Rangers) and Andy Weimer (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) were picked in 2003. In 2004, senior outfielder Kyle Brown was drafted by the New York Mets, junior pitcher Matt Scherer went to the St. Louis Cardinals and seniors Jeff Justice (Boston Red Sox) and Anthony Aquilino (Philadelphia Phillies) signed free agent contracts with professional organizations.
