Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

From Fanhouse; I can't say I disagree with much if anything about this list, and yes, Johnny Damon should be on it as one commenter noted.

Depending on what Damon makes, he might actually be a good pickup for a team

Caveman Jesus Made

13M a year in the Bronx; coming off a pennant, I doubt he’s going to go anywhere else unless it’s a multi-year big money deal.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I dunno

I think he’s probably a league-average player next season, at best.

prorating for 150 games and using CHONE for offense and your projections for defense

+8 hitting -1 fielding – 7 positional + 23 AL replacement level = 2.3 WAR player.

And he hasn’t played 150 games since 2004 (although he’s been close) and will be 36 next season, seems to always be dinged up…

I mean, he has value, and at 6M would b a bit of a bargain, but I really don’t see the point fo the Royals, who could get a like 1.5 WAR OF like Fiorentino or Hinske for $1M (at most)… is one win really worth $5M for the Royals at this point?

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at FanGraphs.

Yes -- I just hope for Royals to have positive WAR. Babysteps.

Adam LaRoche has to be on this list for GMDM

He is a FA, right?

Joke lurking in there somewhere, but I’m too lazy to look.
