Analysis
Okay,
here's the consternation with Hall. Just what are you getting
here? He's only 31 years old, so the wane really shouldn't have
taken over his career, but it seems like it might have. At one
time, back in the days of 2005 and 2006 in Milwaukee, Hall had plus
starter written all over him, with years of 17 HR and 62 RBI followed
by 35 HR and 85 RBI, with that last year added up to a very respectable
PEVA rating of 11.905. Pretty good stuff at 27 years of age. But
now it's four years later and what we're seeing is a platoon player,
and one, we're not real sure whether a playoff contending team should
want.
Whoa, there, ... maybe we're jumping to the wrong conclusion and are
just plain wrong about that. Sure, Hall is a low batting average
and low OBP guy at this point in his career and someone you're not
looking at as an everyday starter, but he did hit 18 HR for Boston in
2010 and played every outfield and infield position except first base
(and he can probably do that). Perhaps this is just the type of
hitter/fielder a contending team needs, as long as the price is right.
But what about that price. And just what role would that
contending team be talking about? Let's assume he's a platoon
player again, one who will be getting 300 to 400 ABs.

Last year, Hall was paid $8,525,000, but he's looking at a significant
drop from that number in 2010. SPRO Salary Projections state that
he's looking like a $3,000,000 player now, and that's only because
there's still a bit of a look back five years quality and hope that he
can repeat some of those headier days.
Personally, we're still a little conflicted on whether Hall's worth
those numbers and might be more comfortable in the $2.5 million range.
But SPRO is holding out hope. It will be interesting to see
just what type of team, a playoff contender or just one looking for
production from a cheaper alternative, will take that risk, and whether
it will pay off.
