Sacramento Kings followers could get an indication whether a common National basketball affiliation group is going to become adhering about lengthy-term Tuesday as soon as the Sacramento Metropolis Council votes on two measures…http://twurl.nl/3d5mkk

I actually arrived here simply because this particular weblog had been tweeted by a fellow I was following and feel pleased I made it here.

Oh Also… That increase did not start untill AFTER the trade… I see below where you said most increases in attendence can actually be attributed to a successful season the year before and not getting a certain player… The day after the Cabrera trade the Tigers ticket office’s telephone system went down because of the demand. The team actually had to limit the amount of season tickets they could sell after Cabrera joined the team. I dont know if the local papers have archives online but there were many articles in the Detroit News and Free Press chronicling this phenomenon…

Well, I dont have any studies to prove anything, but the Tigers DID double the amount of season tickets sold from the previous year after they traded for Cabrera… Just Sayin!

Where is Jacoby Ellsbury, Carl Crawford, Victor Martinez, Daniel Bard, etc. on this list. The list is nice but you’re missing a lot of obvious names on this list.

Also Miguel Cabrera clearly does have trade value because his name has been swirling in and out of trade rumors all offseason.

Why is Cabrera’s defense negative? He had the 2nd highest UZR among AL first basemen this past season. Are we still using his terrible fielding at 3b to justify that? If so, I don’t think that makes much sense.

Thanks for the insight, Skolnick.

Actually, being called a ‘bore’ on this site actually hurts. I’m tellin’ Mom.

Mike Lowell is worth about 6 mil as a 3b. There is not an unlimited supply of 6 mil dollar 3b but teams are not going to line up for him. Why? Limited resources in the form of payroll for one. Is Cabrera that different? Especially that different that it is a good idea to give up multiple players worth significantly more than their salary? I guess my question is everyone keeps talking about the premium intangible you refer to as “a lot,” quantify “a lot.” It would be tricky to find this value but I doubt this amount would be enough to justify a top notch pre abitration player.

Just to say it, the sox did already have a 1b worth 25 mil in terms of production on their roster.
