Juan Uribe signs deal with Giants

I am happy about this. I did not want to see Uribe in cubbie blue with his weird blond chin beard.

I wonder if this opens the door to Rich Aurilia. I think Aurilia would be a nice fit, a poor man's Derosa and everything I read said Aurilia was heading back to SF. With Uribe heading to the Bay Area, this might mean Aurilia to the Cubs.  It also sounds like Bako will be signed soon.

It may open the door to Alex Cintron.

probably a better move than Aurilia

Cintron can play SS

Aw man...

…and here I’ve been defending Uribe up and down several threads. Ah, well. Yeah, maybe Cintron or Aurilla.

There sure isn't much out there

in the FA pool. Too bad Daimon Easley is so ancient.

by JodyDavis on Jan 29, 2009 4:32 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Not sure I'd trust Easley at 3rd either

Considering they need someone to backup Ramirez, Aurilla seems like the best choice.

Isnt Aaron Miles a poor mans DeRosa?

Do we really need two?

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

Miles is essentially a second baseman...

…he could probably make do at shortstop, but I really question whether he has the arm for third base.

incorrect

La Russa played him often at SS and his RF and ZR was far better than Theriot.

Saying someone is "far better than Theriot"...

…doesn’t necessarily make me wrong.

Ha.

No kidding. Far better than Theriot might get us close to league average.

"Often"?

In his ML career, he has played four times as many games at 2B than at SS.

Uribe sucks anyhow. He’s better suited for the bench. The only reason he started for the sox was because they didn’t have anyone better to replace him.

Someday we'll go all the way.

by Cubbinstrongsince86 on Jan 29, 2009 9:46 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Um, that's where we wanted him...

…ON THE BENCH. And he sucks at hitting, not defense – and that’s why we wanted him. FOR DEFENSE.

Ah, well, it’s all a mutt point now.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
