The Baseball Cube is a good site for kids as it gives both MiLB and MLB numbers.
Here is Bretts page.

On that page, there is a search box to look up any player.

And FYI, Ichiro actually has decent power although he (only) averages 10 HRs/yr. He simply does not try to hit HRs, and he is more concerned with getting on base. He is also an OUTSTANDING defensive outfielder and has a canon for an arm.

Who are you suggesting we jettison for Murton? I’d take Shelley over him on the roster in a minute.

Of course it’s a stretch. I want to write for ESPN “when I grow up.”

Seriously, though, he could play in Miami if that team were to reach the World Series this year or thereafter. They won’t, and part of me wanted to (and did)take a good-natured swing at them.

At AAA last season, his stats were (in 181 at bats): .260 avg, (47 hits, of which…) 4 doubles, 3 triples, 1 HR, 21 walks, 43 K’s, 21 stolen bases to 3 caught stealing, .343 OBP, .331 slugging, .675 OPS

Not the same old Joe. New manager Joe Girardi won’t honor veteran allegiances like Joe Torre did. So Bobby Abreu and Johnny Damon arrived at camp in better condition this year. As a result, the offense could produce 1,000 runs.
Joba will be a starter. Someday. For now, he’s a rock in the bullpen.
Derek Jeter could get yanked. He turns 34 in June, and defensive metrics used by opposing clubs say he’s among the worst shortstops in the majors. If he takes another step back, he may be asked to move to first or the outfield.
Keep an eye on the boss. It remains to be seen if Hank Steinbrenner will flip out like George did at the first sign of trouble.

I am sure that Derek and his range will be a topic of discussion this season. Olney speculates that if Derek’s range continues to decrease they may ask him to move to first base or the outfield. I certainly can’t see that happening this season. And I think if he were to ever move it would have to be in the off season so he could learn the position in spring training.

Word. I like it when people show up and ask questions, and love it when they’re willing to listen to answers…even if they then debate those answers by citing examples and info they’ve seen/read/heard elsewhere.

You’re definitely right that he could bring a dimension the Yanks don’t really have. Cash has said that a number of times, and Girardi too, so he’s definitely on their radar in a good way. It’d be great if he works out. I mean…who wouldn’t want to have a surplus of average-to-above-average MLB center fielders under the age of 25?

Mark Alan – What do you mean? It sounds to me like he was saying he didn’t think he’d get the chance to play in Miami because the Marlins are an NL team, and he plays for an AL team. I don’t think it was a knock to the Fish, and interpreting it that way seems to be a bit of a stretch.

And, lack of power doesn’t just mean lack of homers. It means that he doesn’t seem to drive the ball much, even for doubles and triples. A guy that ONLY gets on base and steals has to get on base a LOT to be a productive MLB player, even if he has great D.

There’s noise that he’s changed his plate approach a bit due to some advice from the AAA hitting coach at the end of last year. If that’s true, and explains his hot AFL and ST, then that’s great and he should continue to show improvement in AAA, which would be wonderful.

because that is in no way certain to be true. He showed that ability at AA, but not in his half season at AAA. When pitchers know that you can’t hurt them by hitting a double or a homer, they come right at you and it’s tougher to get on via the walk. Also, he was fairly old for AA.

He had a great spring, no doubt. If he goes to AAA and shows that he can get on base at a .380 clip, that bodes very well for him. If he can replicate that performance at the MLB level, he’d be a solid major leaguer. However, the odds are against him doing so. But the Yanks are giving him a chance to go prove himself every day in AAA, so that’s good.

That sentiment from A-Rod could anger the Marlins Nation, both of them, for it expresses directly that the Marlins are lousy and will never again reach the World Series. While we all know this, it may tick of the Marlins fan/s.
