Jason Bay....a disappearing act

[TheA'sFatLeadoffMan]

I've started to be concerned myself. I've always been a fan, but now, without the stolen base potential, he seems to become very Jose Guillen esque to me.

Felt the same way, so I dealt him for Halladay.

I just don't see how his value can be that high when he's on pace to steal 0 bases, he's not a BA guy, he's and doesn't put up big time power #'s. With that crappy lineup and his lack of big time power, I don't see him busting out in any big way.

Now batting a lowly .265 after going 0-5 today.

I took him over Carlos Lee and have regretted it every since.

In a keeper league, would you all say Bay is more valuable than Alex Rios or Corey Hart? How about Alex Gordon?

I would rather have Rios than Bay. I'm pretty sure I'd rather have Bay than Gordon, just b/c OF tend to be more scarce than IF. I'm not sure if I'd rather have Bay than Corey Hart. I think I'd rather have Bay, but if I had Corey Hart and someone offered me Bay, I don't think I'd take the trade. Does that make any sense? Mostly Bay's more proven, but this year seems to be Hart's year.

Anyone recall the preseason Holliday/Bay debate?

Vaguely. I'm pretty sure I was a Bay supporter.

Let me guess - you were a Holliday supporter.

I gave a slight edge to Bay... Now, there is no question it's Holliday.

Wow. I'm surprised I wasn't in that thread at all. But I admittedly had Bay higher than Holliday preseason. Not so much anymore, though...

[Ender]

That being said I'll take Holliday. Bay was crappy most of the year last year and just had a couple hot streaks keeping up his stats, Holliday was more consistant and I think the rockies have a better offense than the pirates.

Oooh I love looking back at threads where I was actually right!

I shipped off Carlos Lee and Carlos Guillen for Hanley and Bay last year in my keeper league. While I am so glad I got Hanley, I feel less happier about the deal each day Bay goes 0-4. Between him and Andruw Jones, my OF is on life support.
