Teams in the hunt for magglio

[looptid]

I don't know about the chances of him going any of these places, but I've heard rumors about SF, Houston, Cubs, Yanks and Sox of course. I know I'm missing some, but those are the ones I've heard so far.

San Fran? Really? Hitter's park or no, batting infront of or behind Bonds have their advantages. Either a steady diet of fastballs, or at least one person on base 60.9% of the time.

The Braves.

I would love to see it but dont believe it will happen..

Therefore the .

I would have to run full-speed into a brick wall if the Mets sign him.

LET'S GO METS

No Mets. I like Mags and even have him in one keeper league. Shea is where good players go to die.

Especially hitters. If Maggs was smart he'd go to a team with a hitter's park much like Chicago. Cubs may have a pretty empty outfield soon.

Or he could come to Arlington

I am very curious to see if Magglio signs anywhere before Beltran.
Beltran will set the market for this offseason and everybody else will fall in line behind that. I think Boras would actually be doing a huge disservice to Magglio if he signs first. Not that I condone Boras in anyway, but it would just seem logical to me.

I see him going to Mets or Astros. I'd much prefer the Cubs make a serious run at Beltran than go for Maggs.

Who wouldn't want Beltran over Maggs.

I know what you're saying though, $$$.

other than Maggs being 3 years older, there isn't much difference between him and Beltran. The injury might be a concern with Maggs, but when they're healthy they're about equal in value IMO. The SB's don't help as much in real life as they do in fantasy... they certainly don't hurt, and along with age and health give Beltran a slight edge. But if I was a GM... I'd go for Maggs because he'll come cheaper (at least I think he will).

the devil rays to take baldellis spot in the OF













just kidding but a man can wish cant he. ........actually i think the astros might be a heavily pursuer of maggs..........

SB are incredibly valuable IRL, especially when you steal at a 90% clip like Beltran has done in his career (or even better at his '04 rate of 93%).

The other reason that Beltran has a higher value, other than the injury concern and age difference you mentioned is that Beltran plays CF where there is a much greater shortage of offensive players than in RF where Mags plays.

I agree 100%. I know I overvalue speed and steals, but SB's are one of the most underrated stats in baseball IRL. With a guy like Beltran singles and walks can turn into doubles just like that, which puts pressure on the defense and the pitcher plus injects life into the offense.
