Nomar Garciaparra signs with the Dodgers to play first base. Ehhh.

And they were both effective away from home, Young in fact hit .330 away.

Home OPS

Blalock: .895
Teix: 1.109
Young: .913

Away OPS
Blalock: .611
Teix: .809
Young: .884

Yeah. Young is similar both home and away, and Teixeira was superhuman at home and slightly above average on the road for a 1B.

You really need to specify the half. I could have easily have taken that, prior to the Soriano trade, to be Alfonso and Hank. Not many people take "half" to mean Young and Teixeira. Maybe Young and Blalock, or Teix/2B, or the corners or the MI.

I am really happy. I think he is a great fit and also he has a great life now as a baseball player. Lives in Manhattan Beach (LA) I live here as well. He also has 3 former members of the Red Sox Old Manager Grady Little, Bill Mueller, and Derek Lowe.

I think he will have a good year if he stays healthy. When he came back from his injury in Septemeber he did pretty good.

If his year turns out good with the Dodgers I expect him to sign a 2-3 year extention with the Dodgers.

So you think Lofton's .335 avg is overpaid to?
