OBP, obviously.

That is not too much to ask. Maybe even .320. That would be a good floor for rating a player, starter or backup. And from the .320′s I want to see power.

With Lucas Duda’s limited range, Rick would help the defense and he does have power. He’d be a better hitter if he could cut down on his strikeouts. Take a shot Sandy!

Of course not, this is patching together from a salvage shop. Get him if you like, but how long will he be of any value? Certainly not something you would do in the big picture long-term building of a ruined franchise. Just another chaeapie one day action to make it to tomorrow. Can he have some mild contribution here? Sure, but this is not rebuilding. Of course, I beleive rebuilding will not actually start until some more years transpire. So go ahead and do it, but it’s mostly ho-hum, what else do you have for me? I remember the line from the song: “Is that all there is?”

He has no srike zone, has not flashed real power, as you say, n a few years, and is a pitcher. But as a backup LHH OF, ok.

Rick Ankiel or Angel Pagen —– Pagen
Rick Ankiel or Andres Torres —- ?
Release Fernando Martinez, waive Jason Pridie and Nick Evans…..?

Wow. this great Sandy Alderson saster plan is so good no one can figure it out!

How do we really know considering how little we have seen of Baxter?

dude you almost always have to get on base to bat in runs. thats what OBP is dude. its isnt a measure of walks.

players with lots of RBI and low OBP are players that are ruining their teams. because they numbers mean they suck but play every day in a potent lineup.

He played a helluva CF. If it’s defense they’re looking for. He was only making the minimum too.

Maybe one more signing like this one here. I’m still going to enjoy my Mets baseball and look forward to a fun season. Also thanks for keeping us warm this winter MMO.

Yes, I think he is. Let’s get him.

I would rather have someone from the minors come up and get some reps in left field and right.

He can also split some time with bay to keep him fresh (and of course, away from RH pitching!)
