Aybar’s been held back by off field issues not his talent.

Thanks for going with facetious. Now I will not have to look up snarky…..

Well, I’m going to call him Admiral “It’s a trap!!” Aybar from here on out.

You’re not kidding about DeJesus. His first two years of free agency have been valued at about a third of what he’s actually worth. And DeRosa, damn. He got paid $7.5 million the last two years to add $32 million in value, although you can’t fault a team for not wanting to break the bank on a 31 year old coming off his first full season.

So how would Aki stack-up to Aybar when viewed through the same lens? Aybar is obviously not going to supplant Longoria, but should he be starting instead of Aki? I suspect that Aybar is a better hitter, with more power and an inferior fielder than Aki but would love to see his similar numbers.

jumped on the Willy Aybar train. He is one of the best all round baseball players, except speed. And he has baseball smarts.

I thought I was being snarky, not facetious. But I can live with facetious.

Isn’t is kind of incongruous to suggest that the ability to play multiple positions makes one deserving of a full-time job?

I’m pretty sure he was being facetious, considering he included him in a list of “undervalued” players.

Just curious why you think Beltre’s contract is the ‘worst in the history of sports?’ Worse than player’s that were injured 80-90% of their contract (Pavano, Schmidt, Hampton)?
