I am fairly new to PHP and I am trying to block the site access, redirecting all users/non-users to the wp-login.php page.. THEN on the login page, the non-registered users can still access the registration page.
I have inserted this code into the theme header and it works great,
<?php if(!is_user_logged_in()){header("Location: http://WP/wp-login.php");} ?>
except there is no access to the reg. page, of course.
What can I add to this code to exclude the registration page, so when the link is clicked, it will at least be viewable and work?
Thank you for your help..

Date Published:
September 1, 2000
Revised for the first time since its 1970 publication, this classic and compassionate guide helps parents teach their children self -discipline and the skills to negotiate win-win solutions and resolve conflicts, while stressing the ineffectiveness of external punishment. Original. 20,000 first printing.
PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING (or P.E.T.), first published in 1970, remains an essential parenting tool. P.E.T. introduces concepts of acceptance through active listening, changing unacceptable behavior through environment changes, and transforming conflict through a shift in perspective where nobody loses. With this method, children are motivated to carry out solutions themselves; their thinking skills are developed; there is less hostility in the home environment; the point of the problem is reached more quickly; and the need for parental "power" is eliminated. Parents still find this guide a useful way to help develop the skills needed to deal with both young children and teenagers and to help raise more responsible children.

100 people at the New Zealand International Science Festival
opening in Dunedin Railway Station's Hope Gallery last night.
Mr Joyce said the ''unique'' festival was ''tremendous''.
''I'm a passionate believer in the importance of linking
science to the community and in particular young people.''
More ''inquisitive'' youth needed to be ''inspired'' by
science, he said.

Can Urban Fashion Be Def in Des Moines?
By TRACIE ROZHON
Published: August 24, 2003
AS most of America's clothing merchants struggle for survival and bemoan their fate, Russell Simmons says he is ready to soar.
Mr. Simmons, a hip-hop impresario with a clothing company named Phat Fashions, has put his brands on $300 million worth of goods a year at wholesale: everything from perforated nylon basketball shirts to zebra-printed bustiers to baby clothes. But Mr. Simmons, who once dealt dope on the streets of Hollis, Queens, is already looking for his next big score.
Two weeks ago, he said he was talking to Tommy Hilfiger about a deal to sell Phat Fashion. By last week, it was Kellwood, another large clothing company. He envisions not only the purchase price -- analysts estimated it at $150 million to $200 million -- but also a deal that would let him remain in charge and pay him a substantial percentage of the profits in future years. He needs to sell, he said last week, to gain the resources of a larger company and to take his company to the next plateau: blanketing department stores, which currently do not handle a lot of his clothes. On Friday, an investment banker familiar with the situation said talks with Kellwood, a large -- and stodgy -- manufacturer and marketer, were proceeding. Spokeswomen from Kellwood and Tommy Hilfiger declined to comment.
''I'm talking to all of them; yeah, we're negotiating,'' Mr. Simmons, the former recording mogul, said last week. ''Money's an issue: I have my price. But even more important is the back-end percentage. I've got to have growth. I want to become an institution -- like Tommy or Ralph,'' he said, referring to Mr. Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren.
Right now, Phat Fashions sells only 15 percent of its goods through department stores; the rest are carried by specialty-store chains like Jimmy Jazz, d.e.m.o. and Up Against the Wall. ''Ralph has 85 department store, 15 percent specialty,'' Mr. Simmons said of sales. ''That's where I'd like to be.''
As Mr. Simmons, 45, tells it, he is sitting pretty, pointing to as many deals as a rapper has rhymes: deals in the works or that have just dropped into place. In 1984, he was a co-founder of Def Jam Recording -- ''Def'' means the ultimate -- and sold it off in pieces for an undisclosed total estimated at $130 million. For the last 11 years, he has run Phat Fashions, which creates street fashion for upwardly mobile, outwardly cool young people. Within the last year, sales by the company, which is private, have risen 30 percent, Mr. Simmons said. Licensing deals for shoes, cellphones and Visa cards are just being announced, not only for his Phat Farm men's clothing company but also for Baby Phat, the women's and children's clothing company run by his wife, Kimora Lee Simmons.
He has growing sales and a hot reputation: Gregg Weaver, the chief executive of Pacific Sunwear, one of the nation's largest clothing chains, calls his brand ''very dominant.'' Yet Mr. Simmons complains that, to a certain extent, he has been shunted aside in his quest to succeed in the white fashion industry. His business has grown steadily but he is still regarded, along with his fellow urban designers, like Sean John and Ecko, as a fad and a flash in the pan, although an influential flash.
''The question everybody asks -- and I have to put this carefully -- is, with respect to the urban business, is how long will this phase last and what will the next hot brand be?'' said Gilbert W. Harrison, the chairman of Financo, an investment banking firm that specializes in retailing.
IT is a question that Mr. Simmons has been hearing for years -- enough years, he says, to make it no longer an issue. But he concedes that it still is. ''Our numbers speak for themselves,'' he said last week, sitting beside his desk in his mahogany-paneled corner office in the garment district of Manhattan. ''But there's a lack of vision from the older fashion gods.'' Many of those gods, including executives from Liz Claiborne, Jones Apparel Group and even Polo/Ralph Lauren, have come in and ''kicked the tires,'' he said.
And have walked away.
Possibly not for much longer. Mr. Simmons is turning up the volume at Phat Fashions and its sister companies.
Within the last two weeks, Mr. Simmons has announced a deal to sell his Def Con3 soda -- ''the smart energy soda,'' which tastes like liquid cotton candy and has vitamins added -- to 5,200 7-Eleven stores. He has also expanded a publicity campaign for his six-month-old Rush Card, a ''prepaid Visa Card for individuals without access to traditional banking services.''
During that time, he also announced the planned reopening, in mid-September, of his remodeled Phat Farm store in the SoHo section of Manhattan. The old décor was ''too underground, too cool,'' he said. And he held a news conference to promote the spring debut of his vaguely preppy new department store line called Def Jam University, a collaboration with Kellwood.
These days, Mr. Simmons has immersed himself in the clothing business. One day last week, he rejected a manufacturer's sample: ''It's cheap, man. Cheap fake fur.'' He also decided to pull a new television commercial, featuring his younger brother, Reverend Run, formerly the Run in Run-DMC, a pioneering rap group, and now the president of Run Athletics, a Phat Fashions company.

Troops in the Rostov-on-Don, Belgorod and Bryansk regions are to return to their permanent bases, says Kremlin
MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops which participated in military drills in three regions bordering Ukraine to return to their permanent bases.
"Putin gave an order to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to bring back troops that participated in the war games, to their permanent bases and continue combat training at neighboring firing ranges," the Kremlin press office said in a written statement on Monday.
Similar statements have been made by Russia in the past, but NATO has always denied seeing any withdrawal of Russian troops.
The military units in question held exercises in the Rostov-on-Don, Belgorod and Bryansk regions bordering Ukraine.
Russia also called on Ukraine to immediately halt its "punitive" military operations in the country's southeastern regions where armed pro-Russian militants have fortified themselves in a number of cities.
"Russia calls for the immediate halt to the punitive operation, violent acts, the pulling back of [Ukrainian] troops, and to solve the accumulated issues exclusively through peaceful methods," the statement said.
Meanwhile, pro-Russian separatists arrested four people suspected to be Ukrainian soldiers in front of a government building in Donetsk.
The building, along with other city administration offices, was seized by militant separatist groups who declared themselves independent from Kiev's authority.
Sporadic but increasingly intense fighting continues as Ukrainian troops attempt to restore federal authority in areas held by separatist forces.

Which franchise is better: Marvel or DC? Keep in mind we are looking at, not only comics, but everything that about these franchise's universes.
I believe that marvel is better because not only is the marvel comic series more realistic but it also has spider-man. Love me some spiderman.
Marvel Franchise FTW GO DEADPOOL!
But DC Comics has some memorable characters who could forget the Joker and Batman
DC comics all the way !!!
Who has more movies made? (not including animated…)
Marvel > DC, period
Superman vs. Spiderman? I say Superman. He's pretty fast and pretty much indestructable.
Superman is a bastard (sorry for language). He's just "super". No substance, no real personlaity, and he can do just about anything with his powers. And his only weakness is kryptonite, which, as we all know, is the most common thing on Earth. I think metal should be his weakness, that would give him problems.
Anyway, as for DC vs. Marvel, it's not like 360 vs PS3 or Mac vs PC. There's not even any competiton here. Marvel >>>>>>>> DC. Besides the new Batman films, those are incredibleness x 10.

Jordan Eberle leads the Oilers in scoring this season with 56 points (19-37-56). The second half of the season has been kind to Eberle, who has 13-23-36 in his last 35 games. He is currently on a six-game point streak. He Has 4-8-12 in that span.
Eberle's linemate, Benoit Pouliot, is on a four-game point streak of his own (3-2-5). He talked about Eberle's production after practice today at Rexall.
"He's just been bearing on the chances he's getting," Pouliot said. "He's been making the passes he's needed to make and it shows that he's doing the job and he's doing what he's supposed to do and it's fun to watch, fun to play with. I get the chance to play with him everyday and it's great. I can't complain about anything about his game. He's probably one of, if not the, best players on our team. He's just doing the simple things, doing his game. He's a pretty shifty guy out there and when he gets the chance to be loose he'll find you or shoot the puck."
If Taylor Hall is able to return to the lineup, the Oilers are still undecided on where he will play. He skated today on the third line with Anton Lander as his centre.
Wherever he plays, Hall adds a lot to the Oilers lineup.
"He's definitely a big part of our team," Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said. "He's a driving force out there for sure. He makes defencemen think twice about a lot of things. When he's driving the puck wide he's creating a lot of space for everybody else on the ice. If we get him back it's going to be great for us and we look forward to getting him back into the lineup as soon as possible."
Hall has missed 23 of the last 24 games with an ankle injury, and yet he still holds the third spot in Oilers scoring with 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points.
"It's huge for us. You bring a guy like Taylor Hall in the lineup and it's always a positive," Benoit Pouliot said of Hall closing in on a return. "He was pretty fast out there today. You could see him and he didn't really seem to be hurting too much so he's been out quite a while now. It's obviously tough to come back, in the first few games, to get back into it. He looks pretty good so hopefully he gets back in there and helps us out."
The Oilers will meet tomorrow morning to decide if Hall is ready to return to game action, as the Oilers host the Flyers.
Taylor Hall skated today in light blue colours today at practice, as opposed to his recent yellow non-contact jersey. Logic dictates that he is getting closer to his return to game action, coming off his ankle injury.
"In the case of Taylor, we're going to see how he is tomorrow morning and we'll make a decision collectively as a staff and with Taylor to see what we're going to do moving forward," Oilers Interim Coach Todd Nelson said.
He took line rushes with Anton Lander and Ryan Hamilton, with Andrew Miller rotating on the wing. The Oilers are being cautious and not rushing Hall back until he is ready.
"He has been out for a while," Nelson said. "It's one thing to skate in practice and it's another thing to play a game where you are working the corners and that. Right now, we haven't made a concrete decision of where he will play. He was playing with Anton today. That's something we'll discuss as a group. First and foremost, we have to make sure he's 100% healthy."
Hall has missed 23 of the last 24 games and says whenever he comes back, it may take a few shifts to get up to speed.
"It's really tough to get 100% without playing games," Hall said. "You can bag yourself as much as you want in practice. It just seems like you get in the game and you just can't relax as easy and you don't have those breaks like you do in practice. No matter if I practice for two weeks more, I think if I came back in a game I'd still be tired the first couple shifts."
Senior University of Denver defenceman Joey LaLeggia was named a Top Ten Finalist for the 2015 Hobey Baker Award today. The award is presented annually to the top men's college hockey player in the United States.
LaLeggia, 22, was drafted in the fifth round (123rd overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft.
In 34 games this season, LaLeggia has 13 goals and 25 assists for 38 points. He leads all NCHC defencemen in goals, assists, points, game-winning goals (3), power play goals (5) and shots on goal (129). He ranks third overall in the NCAA in scoring for a defenceman.
LaLeggia has been named the NCHC Defenceman of the Week five times this season, and was named the NCHC Player of the Month for both January and February.
LaLeggia is from Burnaby, B.C. and played for the Penticton Vees in the BCHL for three years before leaving for school at the University of Denver.
The Hobey Baker Hat Trick (top three) will be announced April 2, and the winner will be named on April 10, during the NCAA Frozen Four.
LaLeggia and the Pioneers play the University of Miami at Ohio in the Semifinal of the NCHC Tournament this Friday.
He has yet to sign his entry level contract.
The NHL has suspended Leafs forward Nazem Kadri four games for his hit to the head of Oilers winger Matt Fraser.

VIDEO: PRACTICE: Tuesday at Rexall Place | RAW: Todd Nelson | RAW: Hamilton | RAW: Yakupov
AUDIO: Todd Nelson | Nail Yakupov | Ryan Hamilton
The Oilers have hit the ice for practice at Rexall Place.
Taylor Hall and Tyler Pitlick are both on the ice in non-contact yellow.
The rest of the lineup stays the same, except for the absence of Luke Gazdic (illness) and Matt Fraser, who suffered a head injury last night against Toronto.
Line combinations based on jersey colour:
Last night, Oilers forward Matt Fraser was helped off the ice after a hit to the head by Leafs Nazem Kadri.
"You obviously don't want to see that," said Ryan Hamilton, Fraser's linemate. "You always want to stick up (for) and protect your teammates. I didn't really get a good view of it. I just saw kind of the aftermath so I just kind of got in there in the scrum. It was kind of a little hectic there. We didn't know exactly what happened right away, then we saw the replay. Obviously, he took a pretty good one on the chin. I don't know if it was incidental or not but he still made good contact on the chin. Obviously, it's not fun watching one of your teammates get hit like that."
There was no update after the game, but Oilers Interim Coach Todd Nelson provided one today after practice.
"He was concussed," Nelson said. "We are going to follow protocol and we'll reevaluate him again tomorrow, but I can say that he's doing well."
Nelson had a chance to watch the play and says it's an unfortunate part of hockey.
"It was a play where (Fraser) was reaching, he was down a bit and we've seen those hits before where a player comes in and finishes his check," Nelson said. "Sometimes, when the opposing player is bending over and trying to reach for the puck, those things happen. It's the game of hockey. It happens."
The Oilers may look to recall a player from Oklahoma City. The Barons play tonight at home against Milwaukee.
VIDEO: PRACTICE: Sunday at Rexall Place | RAW: Todd Nelson | RAW: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
AUDIO: Todd Nelson | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Prior to practice on Sunday, Taylor Hall skated on his own and then helped warm up the goaltenders. Coach Nelson said that he will skate with the team for the first time on Monday at morning skate prior to the game against the Leafs.
"He's going to skate with us tomorrow. We'll see how he feels," said Nelson.
The coach was also asked if, when Hall returns, he'll assume his usual spot on the right side half boards on the power play, considering how well the team has played with the man advantage since Hall's been injured (28.1%, #1 in the NHL). Nelson said he didn't want to jump to any conclusions for a decision that will be made down the road.
"A lot of things can happen over the next few games with personnel, guys get injured and what-not. I like where Nuge is right now and we'll try to make it fit, if everybody is healthy, with Taylor on one of the two units."

Since Todd Nelson took over behind the Oilers bench as interim head coach, the team's power play has been outstanding. The team had a 12.0% overall power play success rating (and 4.7% on the road) with only 13 total goals scored (2 on the road).
"I think at the start of the year we were getting a lot of chances and we just couldn't score. You start holding on to the puck too long and that really hurt us. Now lately, we go out there with a lot of confidence, feeling like we're going to score. Putting a lot of pucks on the net, working hard and winning battles," said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the team's much-improved play with the man advantage.
Since Nelson, the team's power play has been running along at a 25.0% clip with 23 goals on 92 opportunities. The best power play in the entire NHL -- the Detroit Red Wings -- are at 25.3%. On the road, that power play has been 29.5%.
"I think the personnel, the units that we have, they're working well together," said Nelson. "Our challenge from our staff is to outwork their penalty kill. I think Craig Ramsay's done a great job of preparing them but the message is to keep it simple, get pucks going to the net, get traffic and try to outwork their penalty kill."
The power play has gotten even better since the all-star break. In that six-week stretch, the Oilers have the best power play in the entire NHL by a significant margin at 28.1%. On the road, it's even better at 34.2%.
It's all the more amazing when it's considered that they have accomplished this all without Taylor Hall, the team's usual leading power-play point-getter who was injured coming out of the break.

28,000 Dead Fish Found In River In Strongsville - USA
The Bonnie Park Picnic Area of the Cleveland Metroparks' Mill Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville was filled with new green leaves sprouting Tuesday and birds singing. Canadian geese pairs quietly sat awaiting their first gosling to hatch of the spring.
The park had every sign that fresh life was abundant along the East Branch Rocky River. Unfortunately, the very river that usually breeds fresh life in many forms was filled with dead fish; 28,000 to be exact.
Contacted by a tip call to the 1-800-POACHER hotline for the Wildlife Division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources over the weekend, crews were on scene quickly to assess the depth of the fish kill.
Bonnie Park seemed to be ground zero for the spill at first, but crews found dead fish as far south as a mile from the Bonnie Park Picnic Area and as far north as the Cedar Point Road Picnic Area. The river runs south to north, eventually to Lake Erie. A total of five miles of river were discovered to have dead fish.
Director of Watershed Programs for the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Frank Greenland, was in the park with his crew on Tuesday. They were part of several local and federal departments looking into just what killed so many fish.
"We've found some rainbow trout, which are very cold-tolerant fish. We've found 22 different species of fish, all of which are native to these streams, so they're used to cold weather, winter, they survive winters and they're dying now and that's not a normal thing," said Greenland. "Our job is to investigate pollution and deal with pollution sources."
Rumors were abundant among the dogwalkers and lunch-goers in the park on the cause of the dead fish. The Metroparks are working with several sources to find the source and what the toxin is.
"I'm not saying it's an industrial issue, it could be from any source. Illegal pesticides in appreciable quantities dumped directly in a stream can cause problems, people illegally dumping. We don't know what chemical, we're not even sure it is a chemical that's caused the problem. So, what we're doing is bracketing the area where the fish are dead and then fanning out to see what can feed this stream," said Greenland.
NewsChannel5 crews did not see any live fish swimming in the clear water on Tuesday. Greenland confirmed that they didn't see any live fish up to a mile upstream.
"We don't how much of what is killing the fish is diluting itself and flushing itself downstream. Dilution will over time diminish those quantities. But, streams typically can bounce back," said Greenland.
Jarod Roos of ONDR's Division of Wildlife said his crews, "found dead fish, a small amount of frogs and crayfish, but no other dead wildlife." He hopes to have firm answers as early as Friday.
Many of the dead fish were small because the river had just been freshly stocked with rainbow trout and other sport fish. But, several dead fish were easily a few years old when they, too, succumbed to whatever seeped into the Rocky River late last week.
Porpoises Dying In Alarming Numbers In China
'River pigs' face extinction. Their disappearance could cause a massive ecological catastrophe. Wang Ru reports.
Two have been found dead every week on average for the last six weeks in Dongting Lake, Hunan province. Yangtze Daily reports more than 20 other casualties have been found in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi province, since February, including four this month.
These are alarming statistics of the Yangtze finless porpoise, aka the "river pig".
One of six porpoise species, the finless porpoise lives in the coastal waters of Asia, especially around India, China, Indonesia and Japan. A unique freshwater population is found in the Yangtze River.
However, there have been reports of deaths in the Yangtze population's major habitats in the river's lower and middle reaches this year.
At the rate it's going, the unique population faces extinction within a decade.
In the fourth such incident in the past month, an eight-ft-long dead dolphin was washed ashore at Bandra Bandstand on Monday. A resident, Benedict Suarez, had spotted the dolphin on Monday evening and called up BMC officials on Tuesday morning. The carcass was disposed of by the solid waste management department of the H West ward office later.
"There was a foul smell in the area, because of which I took a closer look and found a dolphin floating. BMC officials used a JCB machine to fish it out. Last week, a dead turtle was also washed ashore," said Suarez.
Local corporator Asif Zakaria said it is a matter of concern as it is the fourth such incident in less than a month.
A humpback whale was found dead at Diveagar coast in Raigad last week. This came after two whales of the same species were found beached at Uran and off Priyadarshini Park, Napean Sea Road, on March 29 and March 31.
The Shiveluch volcano on Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Thursday ejected an ash cloud to as high as nearly 11km above the sea level, the Itar-Tass news agency reported.
An ash column from the volcano rose to a height of 10.7km above the sea level.
There was no immediate threat for the population, and no emissions of volcanic dust were monitored in neighboring villages.
Two earthquakes were registered at the volcano over the past 24 hours, which was given the highest Red Aviation Code.
This was the most powerful eruption of ash registered at Shiveluch this year. Shiveluch has been active for more than four weeks.
Shiveluch, standing 3,283 meters above the sea level, is Kamchatka's northernmost active volcano.
Lava flows from Puu Oo vent are spreading over the coastal plain in Kalapana and over the weekend entered the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. But the flows are still about a half-mile from the ocean.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory released new lava photos taken Monday that show slow-moving breakouts of pahoehoe lava, with the characteristic look of bunched up rope as it cools.
Other photos released in the last month show how the lava has been spreading on the plain, rather than moving directly to the south, toward the ocean.
The plain is below the Pulama Pali and the Royal Gardens subdivision.
The observatory also released video and thermal images showing the summit lava lake rising at Halemaumau Crater.
A glow from the lava lake illuminates the gas plume coming from the vent at night. The lava level rises and falls as the volcano goes through inflation and deflation cycles. The lake level is about 230 feet below the floor of Halemaumau Crater.

Analyst expects Diablo III to sell 3.5 million units in 2012
Stern Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia expects Actvision-Blizzard's Q1 FY12 financial results, which will be reported on May 9, to be in line with street expectations and feels the firm's Diablo III will be a potential catalyst for the firm's stock pricing. Speaking in an industry note, Bhatia said with that even with Diablo III "releasing after a gap of 12 years," it has the "potential to sell more than 4 million units life-time, including 3.5 million units this year." The analyst noted Diablo II had sold 4 million units by August 2001 within 14 months of its release in June 2010.
Likely the game will sell extremely well, and we expect many people to call in sick to work come May 15.

My apologies for such a "newbie" question, but I have a basic blog setup, but now am in need of a more professional photography site set up to showcase my portfolio.
How can I go about either begging someone to do it for me, or trade for services? I am a photographer and video editor... I am willing to trade my time for yours.
Nothing fancy, just something easy set up to show off my piks, and maybe be able to let me add more myself, later on.
Thanks. I appreciate it.

It's always exciting when a blue-chip prospect finally makes his major league debut, but fantasy owners might be disappointed in the one debuting Tuesday.
No, that's not a reference to Stephen Strasburg, who makes his first career start surrounded by perhaps the most hype in big league history. Remember, the title of this column is "Hit Parade," and it's all about hitters, not pitchers. Besides, Strasburg is one of the most polished pitching prospects to ever break into the majors, and while there is all that hype, a significant amount of it is justified.
Tuesday's focus is instead on Florida Marlins outfielder Mike Stanton, the other top prospect making his first appearance in a big league game Tuesday. Like Strasburg, we've talked quite a bit about Stanton's prospects on these pages; both Eric Karabell and Jason Grey discussed him in detail Monday.
But while everyone is quick to point out Stanton's stellar Double-A statistics -- .311 AVG, 21 HRs, .726 SLG in 52 games -- they seem to fail to recognize his weaknesses. One stat in particular jumps off the page: 53 strikeouts in 190 at-bats, or one per 3.58 ABs. And that's only a marginal improvement upon the K-per-3.22 at-bat ratio of his minor league career, which includes all those games against softer, less-experienced pitching in the rookie-ball and Class A levels.
Folks, Stanton looks like a whiff king in the making, the kind of all-or-nothing approach that made Mark Reynolds a 44-homer -- but also a 223-K -- man as recently as 2009, but has also led to cold spells largely responsible for Reynolds' career-worst .215 batting average to date this year. Reynolds, so you know, is batting .186 (16-for-86) with four homers in his past 25 games, with strikeouts in almost half of his at-bats (40 K's total) during that span.
Raise your hand if you're willing to be patient through that kind of rough patch with a rookie, and I expect to see very few hands raised, based upon the itchy-trigger-finger style "should-I-drop" questions I read in the chats each week.
People are worried about Reynolds' slump, but Reynolds is 26 years old with nearly 500 games of big league experience under his belt, not to mention he averaged one whiff per 3.78 at-bats in his minor league career before becoming the whiff king he is today. To compare, Mike Stanton is 20 years old with only 131 games' experience at the Double-A level, and his minor league average, again, is one K per 3.22 at-bats.
The history books are littered with examples of all-or-nothing sluggers who endured lengthy struggles adapting to the big leagues, sometimes of significant length. To put this into statistical perspective, Stanton has averaged 45 home runs and 186 K's per 162 games during his minor league career, and in history, only 18 major leaguers have ever had a season with at least 40 home runs and 150 strikeouts. Let's take a painful trip down memory lane, in alphabetical order:
Note: Tristan H. Cockcroft's top 100 hitters are ranked for their expected performance from this point forward, not for statistics that have already been accrued.
Tony Armas Sr.: It took him three years to adapt, and in those three years he batted .236 with 26 homers and a K every 3.85 at-bats. Armas finished with a .252 career batting average, never finishing higher than .279 or lower than .213.
Jay Buhner: The trade to the Seattle Mariners helped, but in his first 48 games of his rookie year of 1988, some of which came with the Mariners, he batted .216 with five homers and a K-per-3.29 at-bat ratio. He finished with a .254 career batting average, never hitting higher than .279 or lower than .215.
Jose Canseco: A 29-game stint late in 1985 was positive and he was the 1986 American League Rookie of the Year, but that rookie campaign wasn't as positive as it sounds 24 years later. He batted .214 with four homers and a K-per-2.55 at-bat ratio in his first 15 games, then slumped badly after the All-Star break, hitting .196 with 10 homers and a K-per-3.66 at-bat ratio. Canseco batted .266 in his career, ranging as high as .307 and as low as .235.
Adam Dunn: One reader wanted to make a Dunn-Stanton comparison in Monday's chat, except that Stanton hasn't shown Dunn's level of patience so far as a pro; Stanton's 11.9 percent walk rate is probably more indicative of opposing pitchers' fear of his power than his own plate discipline. Dunn's willingness to take a pitch did allow him to make a somewhat instant transition, but his first 14 games were rough, including a .224 batting average, one homer and a K-per-3.63 at-bat ratio. Fantasy owners have certainly become familiar with his streakiness, too; he's a .250 career hitter who has finished as high as .267 and low as .215.
Jim Edmonds: Surprising to see his name on the list, as he's not your traditional "all-or-nothing" type, but he indeed had a 40-homer, 150-K campaign. In fact, he did it twice, in 2000 and 2004. Edmonds adapted slowly, hitting .269 with five homers and a K-per-3.98 at-bat ratio in 1993-94, and to date has a .284 career average, hitting as high as .311 and low as .235.
Cecil Fielder: "Big Daddy" had that 51-homer year back in 1990, but remember that he batted .243 with 31 homers and a K-per-3.51 at-bat ratio in four lackluster years with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1985-88 before requiring a year in Japan to get his career on track. He hit .255 for his career, ranging from .277 to .233.
Andres Galarraga: Through his first 100 big league games, he batted .234 with 10 homers and a K-per-4.10 at-bat ratio, and that's before he succumbed to knee surgery in July of his rookie year of 1986. Galarraga batted .288 for his career, and had a .370 season, but remember that many of his numbers were inflated by Coors Field. He also batted as low as .219 in a season.
Troy Glaus: This 1997 No. 3 overall pick debuted July 31, 1998, but batted .218 with one homer and a K-per-3.24 at-bat ratio in that rookie year, and .222 with six homers and a K-per-3.43 at-bat ratio in his first 93 big league games. He's a .256 career hitter (so far) who has hit as high as .284 and low as .240.
Ryan Howard: He's the slugger everyone hopes Stanton eventually becomes, but even the great Ryan Howard got off to a somewhat shaky start, batting .255 with four homers and a K-per-3.16 at-bat ratio in his first 39 big league games. Howard was also 24 at the time of his debut, with more experience and tremendous success at the higher minor league levels. Today, he's a .280 career hitter, turning in a year batting as high as .313 and one as low as .251.
Mark McGwire: You'll remember that 49-homer rookie year of his, but you might have forgotten his .185 batting average, five homers and K-per-2.70 at-bat ratio in his first 28 big league games. Even McGwire, a .263 career hitter, struggled; he did have a season hitting as low as .187, though he once hit as high as .312.
Mark Reynolds: He actually excelled initially, batting .426 with a 1.299 OPS and K-per-4.91 at-bat ratio in his first 15 games, though at the time few people really knew who he was. A hot pickup at the time for sure, he'd bat .194 with four homers and a K-per-2.54 at-bat ratio in his next 52 contests, demonstrating that a slump is always around the corner for this type of hitter. Reynolds is currently a .252 career hitter, ranging as high as .279 and low as .239.
Richie Sexson: Another slugger who adapted quickly, though he was held homerless through his first 20 games, batting .283 with a K-per-4.42 at-bat ratio. Sexson finished with a .261 batting average, ranging as high as .279 and low as .205.
Alfonso Soriano: He finally won a starting job in 2001 after brief stints with the New York Yankees the two previous years, and did bat .267 with 17 stolen bases in his first 53 games of that season. The problem: During that time he had 43 K's and only five walks, and a .657 OPS to boot. Soriano is a .279 hitter in his career to date, and has finished as high as .300 and low as .241 (last year).
Sammy Sosa: You remember all those home runs he hit around the turn of the century, but have probably forgotten that in his first three big league seasons, he batted .228 with 29 homers and a K-per-3.49 at-bat ratio. Bleagh. Sosa finished his career hitting .273, but had one year at .328, and another at .203.
Willie Stargell: A Hall of Famer! This one batted .195 with six homers and a K-per-3.19 at-bat ratio in his first 84 games of his rookie year of 1963. If Stanton becomes a right-handed Stargell, no one will complain except for this season, of course. Stargell had a .282 career batting average, ranging from .315 to .237.
Gorman Thomas: A classic example people use to criticize the strikeout, Thomas took four years to become the hitter people remember, which wasn't that great of one in the end anyway. He belted 51 homers in the minors in 1974, so he wasn't a toss-away prospect, either, yet he batted .193 with 22 homers and a K-per-2.94 at-bat ratio in several tries from 1973 to 1976. Thomas finished with an ugly .225 career batting average, once hitting just .157 and never higher than .259.
Jim Thome: He received a decent chance to play in 1992 but struggled in 1991-92, batting .228 with three homers and a K-per-4.30 at-bat ratio. Thome is a .277 career hitter, batting as high as .314 and low as .207 in a single season.
Mo Vaughn: He has the highest career batting average on the list, at .293, but struggled mightily in his first 45 big league games, batting .250 with three homers. Surprisingly, his K-per-at-bat ratio during that time was 6.00, not terrible. Vaughn hit as high as .337 in a season, but also as low as .234.
In addition, keep in mind that those are only the sluggers who did eventually realize their potential; the history books are surely littered with at least as many examples as those of slugging prospects who failed to even come close to registering a 40-homer, 150-K campaign. Anyone remember the names Eric Anthony, Hensley Meulens and Ruben Rivera?
Not that Stanton doesn't warrant a pickup. Players with his power potential are well worth the chance that their hot streak will come at the onset of their career, or at least somewhat early -- a la Dunn, Howard or Sexson -- but if you're buying the Stanton hype, there's one phrase you need to hold dear: You must be patient through his inevitable slumps.
Is patience your strong suit? Are you the type to seriously consider shedding such whiff kings as Reynolds, Jay Bruce or Carlos Pena every time they're in a funk? If so, a prospect like Stanton probably has more value to you as a trade chip to a more patient owner. He's got worlds of potential, but don't be surprised in the slightest if it takes him awhile to get acclimated, like, say, August
Or perhaps not even until 2011.
Four up
Robinson Cano, 2B, New York Yankees: Is there any doubt now that he's a top-25 overall fantasy player, with a legitimate case to crack the top 10? Cano has 12 multi-hit efforts in his past 19 games, batting .438 (35-for-80) with 21 RBIs during that span, returning him to the top five on our Player Rater. Imagine if he keeps up his history of improved second-half performances? Cano has a career OPS 105 points greater after the All-Star break than before it, and if he tacks 105 points onto his current 1.013 number, he'll have registered the sixth-highest OPS by any second baseman in baseball history. Only Rogers Hornsby, who topped a 1.118 OPS on five occasions (1922, '24-25 and '28-29), has finished with higher.
Rajai Davis, OF, Oakland Athletics: Thanks to a torrid 20-game hot streak during which time he has swiped 11 bases, Davis has captured the major league lead in the category with 23. He's batting .303 (23-for-76) during that span, putting his performance very much in line with his solid second half of 2009, when he batted .325 and stole 30 bases in 71 games. While speedsters like Chone Figgins, Nyjer Morgan and Juan Pierre continue to struggle in batting average, it's nice to see the speedy Davis, of any of them, picking up the pace.
Hunter Pence, OF, Houston Astros: He was so bad the first two weeks of the season, his cumulative batting average was .244 and his OPS .649 as deep into the season as May 22. But don't let that mislead you into thinking that Pence has been mired in a season-long funk, because since April 18 -- yes, April 18 -- he has batted .308 with eight home runs, 25 RBIs and six stolen bases. Project those numbers to a full season and he'd have .308-28-86-21 numbers, only the batting average falling short of his previous personal best.
Scott Rolen, 3B, Cincinnati Reds: It's not just current Toronto Blue Jays hitters who are clubbing home runs at an unreal pace; past Blue Jays seem to be doing it, too! Rolen already has 14 homers, more than he has had in any single season since 2006, and he's on pace for 41, seven more than he has ever had in a single year. A .189 home run/fly ball percentage is largely responsible, and hints that a pace of 30 might be more realistic, but that'd still be a performance akin to Rolen's prime years. Incidentally, to those who wonder when Rolen might cool off, be aware that his batting average dipped beneath .300 for only four days in 2009. If there's any reason to doubt him, it should be his health, not his talent.
Four down
Andruw Jones, OF, Chicago White Sox: So much for rejuvenation. Jones, whose nine home runs through May 5 were second-most in baseball, has seen his bat go almost entirely silent since. Only once in his past 18 games did he register multiple hits, and in total he has batted .154 (10-for-65) with one home run during that span. Most distressing is that he has sat out nine of the White Sox's past 22 games, which puts him only a step away from being demoted into a straight platoon role, one on which he'd be on the lesser-used side. Daily-league owners might still find value in Jones, but he can be safely set free in standard mixed play.
Adam Lind, OF, Toronto Blue Jays: Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Lind, one of fantasy's most exciting breakout performers from 2009. Since May 1, he's a .156 hitter (20-for-128) with four home runs, and most disturbing is his performance versus left-handers; he has .102/.156/.119 (AVG/OBP/SLG) rates against them in 64 plate appearances. That might make Lind a candidate to be dropped into a straight platoon before long, if the Blue Jays don't simply bench him outright. His performance versus fastballs appears to be the problem. Per Inside Edge, he's batting .212 versus the pitch, significantly down from 2009's .315.
Alfonso Soriano, OF, Chicago Cubs: Now this is the Soriano we all feared coming off his down 2009. He's batting just .219 (16-for-73) with two home runs and 21 strikeouts in his past 22 games, and most disconcerting is that 13 of those have been played at Wrigley Field, where Soriano excelled during the first six weeks of the season. A streaky performer, Soriano should have another hot spell left in his bat, but that career-high .336 BABIP suggests that further correction should be coming to his .290 cumulative batting average.
Ty Wigginton, 1B/2B/3B, Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles can hardly complain about Wigginton's contributions overall since Brian Roberts landed on the disabled list, but with the former slumping the past two weeks, Roberts' return couldn't come soon enough. Unfortunately, the Orioles have little choice but to keep riding Wigginton, in spite of his .175 batting average (7-for-40) and zero extra-base hits in his past 13 contests. If not for his newfound second-base eligibility, he might be more of a candidate to be dropped in mixed leagues.
Upgrade your roster
Add: Kurt Suzuki, C, Oakland Athletics
Drop: Rod Barajas, C, New York Mets
Following up on last week's topic of hot-starting catchers, which questioned Barajas' long-term fantasy potential, it might very well be time to upgrade him, assuming an upgrade such as Suzuki is available. Suzuki is out there in more than 50 percent of ESPN leagues, despite his No. 4 finish among catchers on the 2009 Player Rater or his No. 14 average draft position at the position this preseason. He's also on quite a hot streak since the calendar flipped to June, batting .323 (10-for-31) with three home runs and six RBIs in seven games.
AL-only pickup: Reid Brignac, 2B/SS, Tampa Bay Rays: With Jason Bartlett on the disabled list, Brignac has been receiving regular at-bats at shortstop during the past week. Not that the Rays weren't making every effort to get him playing time before that; he has appeared in each of their past 16 games and batted .353 (18-for-51) with two stolen bases and 10 runs scored. Remember, it wasn't too long ago that Brignac was considered one of the top prospects in the minors, and while his star has faded somewhat since, there's still plenty of time for him to carve out a role as a productive regular. After all, he's only 24 years old.
NL-only pickup: Andres Torres, OF, San Francisco Giants: Once a productive platoon partner, Torres appears to have captured an every-day role, thanks to significantly improved performance versus right-handers. He's batting .327/.398/.554 against righties, and has started each of the Giants' past 22 games, during which time he has hit .318 with seven steals and 18 runs scored. It's Torres' speed you want; remember that he averaged 53 steals per 162 games played during his minor league career, and had 15 in 164 big league games from 2002 to '09.
