my question

when does DM get Craig Counsell?

Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman

by BHWick on Jul 27, 2009 9:08 PM EDT reply actions  

nah

Counsell is a FA after this year and having his best year ever, and his first 100+ OPS year since 2000

we sign him, $13M/2

Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman

by BHWick on Jul 27, 2009 9:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Counsell has been more valuable than any Royals position player so far this year

2.1 WAR

too bad the Royals couldn’t afford his onerous contract demands…

makes you wonder

how much of that production spike occurred because Counsell dropped his batting stance in favor of a normal one

I think that signing might have been the point of no return for JoPo

here
A Los Angeles native, Ryan graduated from Loyola High School in 1989 and began his broadcasting career as a freshman at the University of Minnesota at KUOM radio. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1994, where he was a 3-time All-Big Ten selection in baseball and established school records for hits, triples, and at-bats. He was drafted in the 27th round of the 1993 June Free Agent Draft by the Cleveland Indians and played one season in the New York-Penn League.
