| 2011-02-14 13:00:00 | Edwin Encarnacion - 30 dingers and 80 rbi this year?
Justin Masterson - 15 wins and 180 K this year? (josh from VA) | Encarnacion has never hit more than 26 HR in a season, so I'll take the under there. Masterson has got to solve his crazy splits against lefties if he's going to be that good. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-12-20 13:00:00 | I will make a bold statement here.I would not be surprised if to some extent,Edwin Encarnacion becomes next year's Jose Bautista.Consider these similarities : Encarnacion does not really have a position,is on a 1 year /2.5 milion contract ( Bautista was on a 1 year /2.5) and they have somewhat similar hitting stats in the past if you take away 2010.Encarnacion also has the bat speed and youth on his side.Not saying he will hit 50 but 30-40 HR is not out of the question considering last year's HR rate per AB.What do you think of this ? (Spirou from Montreal) | Please don't tell me "Who is the next Bautista" is this year's version of "Who are the next Rays". Encarnacion could be in line for a power spike, but I'll buy you a teacup pig if he hits 40 HR. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-12-14 13:00:00 | So it looks like Matsui may sign with the A's. Where else do you see them finding lineup help because I don't think he'll be enough? (Dave from Chicago) | Oh, woe. As color-appropriate as it may be to have Godzilla signed up with the Green Machine, barring something really creative the only lineup slot really left is third base. The Beltre campaign was DOA, but we can always hope they re-sign Edwin Encarnacion to less than he was eligible to make via arbitration (Cust-style). Kouzmanoff won't cut it. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2010-10-25 13:00:00 | Should Bautista's hot corner defence scare me, or should I have long ago accepted that he's much more than what I expected and just keep the gift horse's mouth firmly shut? (JT from Michigan) | More the latter than the former. If you were willing to tolerate Ed Sprague or Edwin Encarnacion, after all... (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2010-10-07 13:00:00 | Who should play 3B for the Indians next season (cannot be from this set: {Nix, Valbuena, Marte})? Are there any "blocked" prospects in orgs like Tampa, Washington, or New York who have third basemen in place for the next half-decade that Cleveland could trade for? (buffum from Austin TX) | I could see them swooping in on a potential non-tender, perhaps a Jose Lopez, maybe an Edwin Encarnacion. Or, irony of ironies, Kevin Kouzmanoff. (John Perrotto) |
| 2010-08-17 14:45:00 | What should the order of the BlueJays rotation be for 2011 - Marcum, Romero, Morrow, Cecil, Drabek? Do any of them have true stud potential. (garethbluejays2 from Newcastle, UK) | Well, I think Romero already is a stud. Drabek definitely has stud potential. Marcum is very, very good. And Morrow wasn't touted so highly for nothing. The order of those five pitchers doesn't matter. No matter how you align them that is a very formidable rotation that no team will want to face. But unless they provide actual offensive players in place of Edwin Encarnacion and Lyle Overbay, we're looking at another 4th place finish. I really like what Alex Anthopolous is doing, but the Blue Jays have ALWAYS had strong pitching. This is nothing new. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-06-28 14:00:00 | Are you as surprised as I am that Edwin Encarnacion cleared waivers? (huckyoda from NYC) | No. Teams hate his defense, probably don't like his low batting average, and are concerned with his various injuries. Not a mystery why he'd slip through. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-07-31 14:00:00 | Zach Stewart, Josh Roenicke, and Edwin Encarnacion...what is your opinion of the trio? (Shawn from Winnipeg) | I have no idea what to make of Encarnacion any longer, but he's worth taking a flyer on. Stewart might be a high-leverage reliever pretty soon, but he has some command issues. The main gain here is whatever financial savings occur. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-04-28 13:00:00 | Has Edwin Encarnacion's ship sailed? In fact, was that little dinghy ever even in port? (Charles from Ann Arbor) | I still like him, though I seem to be in the minority now. I think he can be an at least league-average third baseman, maybe more. (John Perrotto) |
| 2008-12-05 14:00:00 | Do you Reds fans finally have reason for optimism with a solid young core of Jay Bruce, Joey Votto, Edwin Encarnacion, Brandon Phillips, Chris Dickerson, Johnny Cueto, and Edinson Volquez? (Brandon from Charleston) | Absolutely, there's reason for optimism so long as Dusty Baker doesn't mangle those arms.
I had the Reds as my sleeper team last year and while they didn't get there, most of the guys you mentioned are fascinating, with a ton of upside. The series I watched most closely all year long was when the Reds came to Yankee Stadium in late June. I don't see the Reds with a shot at the 2009 NL Central but I think third place is a possibility with the right moves this winter. One of which might be taking out a restraining order against Baker from coming to the ballpark. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-07-17 13:00:00 | Thanks for your great work, Marc. Your Player Profiles are my favorite BP articles. Just wanted to ask you your thoughts on Eric Patterson and Matt Harrison. I'm in a keeper league and am inclined to gamble on their upsides. Thanks! (Dennis from LA) | Thanks Dennis, I appreciate that! Hopefully you all saw the Mike Gonzalez collaboration we ran a few weeks back. I'm looking forward to more of those, plus solo efforts like the Edwin Encarnacion one I mentioned earlier.
I'm not sure either is a keeper guy honestly, though some may love them more than I. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-03-05 13:00:00 | I foresee a huge breakout season by Edwin Encarnacion...agree? (Doug from KC) | PECOTA likes the way you think. If Dusty Baker sees it like the three of us do, then yeah, he should breakout. I'm a fan personally. (Marc Normandin) |
