Re:Ramblings Apr. 03
I was a little too late I guess, I went in to check out this article on Morozov. Here\'s what it had to say:

Can you tell me Dobber what it had to say in a nutshell..??

Re:Ramblings Apr. 03
Just that he is seeing what Malkin is doing and considering the fact that he was as good as Malkin was a year ago, he would like to come back. It would cost a team (speculated) $3 million+ per year.
The RSL is a defensive league, and Morozov had 89 points this year.

Re:Ramblings Apr. 03
Right, but he wants 3 millions dollars a year ...
Can he get it ???
That\'s the point !
Ryan Lavernaway
I'm crowdsourcing here... What do you think he's capable of in 2012? How about beyond that? It appears he's as big league-ready as he'll ever be, but the presence of Jarrod Saltalamacchia at catcher and David Ortiz at designated hitter blocks him from a significant role at any one position -- at least in the short term.
Thoughts?
I can't believe I spelled Lavernway's name wrong and Saltalamacchia's name right.
ever the optimist, bill james projects lavarnway; 16 44 52 .271 in about half a season's work. assuming ryan spells salty a lot, and ortiz once in a while, those numbers look fine. i think he'll hit for more power, but a lower average, if he is able to get more at bats than the 300-375 projected.
in the long run, he may settle into a job-share with salty, if salty can stay healthy. that is doubtful. if lavarnway improves his defense behind the plate to the point that he's serviceable, i see him taking the job outright. i think he will. and i think he will prove to be good enough a hitter that he'll be given ample opportunity to prove that he absolutely can't catch in the majors. this is a similar situation the one beginning in seattle with montero. great bat, sloppy defense. the bat will win out.
I will refrain from trying to spell both players names lol.
I will refer to him as Lavvy haha.
Lavvy will have a significant role with the Sox. I think its a fair assumption to assume Salty will either muffle around and not put up solid numbers and or injury will derail him again, thus opening the door for Lavvy. I wont speculate numbers, but I will say if I'm drafting in the latter rounds and I have to choose between Salty and Lavvy in a keeper, I'm going with Lavvy. I just like his upside and I do not like Salty's history.
I definitely thought about drafting him, but decided to go with Jonathan Lucroy. Just to be sure about my catching going forward, I stashed Wilin Rosario in the minors.
Lavarnway will have a util bat role this season, salty should be a decent bat behind the plate for this season, then lavarnway all the way in 2013.
Lavernway can hit the crap out of AAA pitching, and fared well in a short trial at Fenway last year. He's not really a catcher, so he'll really have to hit his way into the lineup. The odds are very much stacked against him ever being a starting catcher. His ceiling is probably Ryan Doumit with more power... which is pretty good. If he can't play defense well enough to at least be a backup catcher, he could have a hard time spending more time ion the Majors than Minors in his career.
... and I spelled his name wrong too. If he does become fantasy relevant, I'll learn how to spell it!
