There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

The ratings seem like they skew a little low, though. I mean, Bengie Molina only has a 9 for speed. And his speed is at least a 10, probably a 10 1/2.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

See, it’s funny because I’m defending Molina’s speed! I took the regular joke and turned it on its head!

See, it’s not funny because you’re explaining the joke you just made! I took your joke and turned it on it’s head!

So really it’s a mute point.

No, see, explaining the joke isn’t funny if you’re a comedian. But I’m just a dude shilling himself online for a shred of recognition from total strangers. So it is funny in this case. Or it’s not. Either way, you responded to me. So I’m good.

Or did you respond to me? See, in that way I’m good.

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .

Renteria is the lowest-rated everyday shortstop. Yikes.

Furcal is near the top.

On a related note

Jerry Crasnick includes Omar on his list of free agent bargains.: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=3725295&campaign=rss&source=MLBHeadlines

Did you notice

There is only one CF with a position-specific score under 48 (compared to 15 SS’s, for example). What’s up with that? And shouldn’t position-specific scores be compared to he position average? Except for that I like the system.

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
