Brett Boone

[Yanks Ruined It]

is this the year he starts to collect his SS(social security) or was last year a very bad dream, whats his value this year??

89-23-99-12-.270

this puts him at #3 2B for me. he's above giles only b/c giles finds a way to miss games pretty well. the addition of beltre and sexson will help a lot in lifting other Ms' stats.

[Cornbread Maxwell]

Tough call. Id say he continues his dropoff unless they allow steroids back into MLB.

That lineup could be incredible, but what Ive read is that he will more than likely fall towards the 5-7th spot, so that wont help him too much. He's usually ranked right around 5th, and I think thats fair value - I personally dont like him and wouldnt take the risk, but Im not gonna tell others who draft him as the #5 2B that it was a bad pick or anything.

Who do you see hitting in the 2 spot in the M's lineup?

I see....
Ichiro
Boone
Beltre
Sexson

Though I guess something like this could be a possiblity....
Ichiro
Winn
Beltre
Sexson
Boone

In your mind....


...picture a smurf.

...Now picture a smurf on roids.

...Now picture Bret Boone.

Isit coincidence he falls back to his pre-breakout norms the same year roids testing is in place?...yeah right.

Watch him in ST. If he pulls a Jason Giambi, then you know what to do.

I originally thought the same thing - that he'd hit in the 2 spot. I cant remember who, but a M faithful set me straight with a link saying they would most likely have Winn hitting there.

[Sp_Da_Man]

He'll never have a season like he had a few years ago but .270 avg 25 hr 90rbi 10sb seem reasonable. Not too shabby for a 2B.

[Woolly]

Whew. The 2B position is terrible this year.

I'm waiting for spring training before I judge Boone. I know he fought through a bad back early last year, then had laser surgery right after the season to correct a vision problem. If he doesn't come out raking in ST, though, I'm gonna have to bump him down some.

Possible range:
.258 74 24 86 7
up to
.295 91 33 104 12

Right now, it's anyone's guess (and will depend a lot on how the team bounces back with the new offensive configuration).
