2008 Rileys Angles
OFFENSE OBP .335 18th Just a lot of down years for the hitters on
the Andles. Paul Konerko, Luis Castillo, Matthews, Pierre and Dye. Mark
DeRosa had the best OBP with .371. Some power here and there in the lineup
is going to help.
RATING 2.5
STARTING PITCHING ERA 4.34 16th Their 1st round pick Brian Bannister is the only
stand out in this rotation. There are a lot of choices all be it bad choices
for the next four spots in the rotation. There might be some that over achieve
but this rotation is really set up for 2009.
RATING 2
RELIEF PITCHING Matt Capps, Justin Miller, and Takashi Saito are all above average relievers and Rafael Perez has an amazing 60 innings allowing only 8 runners per
9 innings. RATING 7
CATCHING Not enough catchers and the one they have is not too good.
RATING .5
DEFENSE Fld% .985 7th Fr ratings abound. Konerko, Fields, Castillo, Dye,
Matthews, Pierre. No Vg's that are full time.
RATING 2
MANAGMENT Mark Clark has been an owner off and on since 1992 This is not
one of his better teams and he has had some bad ones. RATING 2
