probably based on the assumption he’s the starting 1Bman for the Pirates next year.

A lineup certainly. Pitchers that aren’t on 40-man rosters usually aren’t there for a reason though.

The CHONE projections for Duncan are really suprising. I don’t have the numebrs at my fingertips, but as I remember CHONE had him with a whole bunch of playing time and a top 10 ISO.

Phelps can still hold out hope for a Russell Branyan-style career resurrection (or at least one year at a full-time gig). A faint, faint hope. But it’s winter. Spring’s coming. When do pitchers and catchers report again?

On days Greinke doesn’t pitch, yes, you could.

I wonder if one could assemble a team entirely from the minor league free agent pool that would be competitive with the Pirates or Royals.

Phelps could still probably hit left-handed pitching in his sleep.

He’s the kind of guy the Twins love to ignore, not versatile or scrappy enough apparently.

how about this CHONE for Shelley Duncan:

.253/.333/.496

Interesting article. I think Joe Koshansky and Matt Murton could probably contribute in a full or part time role with the right club.

Boston has a tendency of hoarding these type of guys. At Pawtucket last year, you also had Paul McAnulty and (the crappier) Chris Carter, neither of whom are really that different from Bailey in what they could offer a major league team.
