I am so pumped for this signing! Carter is going to rake at Yankee Stadium, if he can get us .270 with 35 HR's, I'll take it. If only we can teach him to play 3rd base.

Curious Eddy, what do you think the chances of Carter hitting .270 are?

Is Matt Holliday the DH or playing left?

I'd be willing to wager that he has a career high batting average this year. How about that?

i'm about as likely to hit 35 homers as he is to hit .270

third base lol he might as well wear a frying pan for a glove the way he plays defense.

PECOTA projects the royals to be the 2nd worst team in baseball. initial 69 win projection bumped up to 71 though!

not really sure why it is consistently so much lower than ZIPS and whatnot. i could def see things not going well this year and TTL could be high 70's team or whatever but damn

Is that at or above .270? Or did you now lower your projection to a whopping .240?

I think it was missed in here somehow, but The A's named their field after Rickey

If he hits .230 over a full season it would be the first time he ever did that

Now having said that, him hitting 50 homers is very much in play

Well seeing as he's never hit over .230 before I'd have to get odds. Give me 3-1 and we can talk.

I'll give you 3:1 on him having to hit both of those numbers.

My $300 to your $100?

did you just try to ignore the HR total part of the bet?

man i'm torn between wanting to explain to bratz why what he's betting on is a mathematical impossibility and not wanting to ruin anyone else's action

carry on

I am not betting on the HR part of it, because I think the Yankees may ask him to take a different approach at the plate. When GW confirms the batting average portion we will have action.
