I'm curious why people think Mirabelli is such hot stuff. Sure, he had a great 2004, but:
A. He's 34 years olf
B. He's a lifetime .242 hitter
C. He can't hit righties (look at his lifetime splits).
If he's a #1, you're looking at a guy who bats .230 to .250, scores and drives in maybe 50 or 60, and bangs 10-15 HRs. I don't see that as much of a value.

i'm not too high on mirabelli either. his stats were better in 2004, but still he had limited ABs, not sure he can keep up hitting well during the whole season with more than 400 ABs. but he plays in boston and that team scores tons of runs, so he will get his chances to score and knock in runs.
toby hall again? seriously, i thought everyone gave up on him
