    You've said this before, and it's simply not true. Davenport adjusts for league difficulty and park effects. Feel free to provide examples. That's the problem with your argument. There's over a hundred guys who were rookies last year. You can find examples on both sides. I'm talking across the board. You really think I can't find some examples of where PECOTA was way wrong on a rookie? And I'm not talking about park effects or league difficulty. The league diffculty you're talking about, I believe, is West to Central, AL to NL. Not AAA to MLB. Take Pie for example. If he does another year in AAA, he's likely to hit the line that was quoted earlier. It's not reasonable to expect him to do as well in MLB as he would do if he did another year in AAA. If you want to write up a list of who all broke their rookie eligibility last year, I'll post what PECOTA projected for them last season (assuming they are in the book, naturally).

    BP 2006 projected a .274/.320/.387 line for Cedeno and had this to say. "As a shortstop, there's little he can't do: his tremendous arm conjures up memories of Shawon Dunston, but cedeno has softer hands and better range. Whether or not he'll become a better hitter is the question. He has a nice, even swing, but he's easily overpowered, and has no notion of working the count. Promoted aggressively throughout his career, he could struggle for a year or two before settling in as a genuinely useful hitter in the big leagues. He's penciled in as the Opening Day shortstop, but it remains to be seen if the Cubs can show some patience and let him grow up in the big leagues, or if they'll get frustrated and turn to Neifi Perez."

    Shall we begin forming some sort of vengeance task force?

    It's alive!

    Yeah, they're called "the guilty ones."
  6. Rob
    You get the same searching for "huseyingazi." Somebody got a new toy and it looks like they were trying it out.

    I'm impressed the regular has been... unhacked?... so quickly. Kudos to whoever managed that feat.

    Why would I? Why would you? Did you put a penny in there? I wish. It's a nickel.

    Why would I? Why would you?

    Well at least they're too stupid to do anything besides mess with the main page.

    Sounds good to me! According to my BP book "Baseball Between the Numbers" bunting for one run is actually more valuable when you have a lead, so, not really a bad decision there. The idea that he's going to be aggressive on the basepaths worries me though. Stealing in general isn't really a positive play to make. If I remember correctly, in that book they had a list of how efficient a manager is, and Lou was close to the top of the list. I think that was in "The Book on The Book." And yeah, he was pretty successful on his stuff except for sac bunts.

    What station is the Purdue game on?
  13. Rob
    big 10 is good :wink: Don't get too comfortable. Illinois is playing horrible, but lucky. VT just missed the three that would have put them just five out, and Washington got called for a technical that was baloney. Randall just airballed a free throw and bricked the second off the back of the rim.
  14. Rob
    Wow, Illinois wont stop fouling.
  15. Rob
    Probably because whoever had Shaq on their team might do the same thing.
  16. Rob
    Would you want to shoot a free throw if there were a chance you were about to do something mid-shot that would really throw off your center of gravity?
  17. Rob
    Injury?
  18. Rob
    It's not a pretty game, but it's one we're currently winning.

    You know, I thought "what the hell are all those seagulls doing in Mesa" until I realized that was Ronnie Woo Woo in the background... :oops:

    Fox gets on via a very weak beanball off the right elbow, and Pie floats one into left for a single. Theriot lines out to right. Fox advances to third. One out.

    Erstad has really been a gamer today.

    Hawk, DJ & Sox marketing man Brooks Boyer Really? They aren't pissing me off as much as I remember them being. Maybe they're waiting for the regular season. Hawk has been pretty quiet for about 2 innings.
  24. Rob
    I think Lou is seeing if he can trust him to get a big out in a tough situation. I'm thinking this inning might have a huge impact on whether or not he makes the roster out of spring training.
  25. Rob
    While I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen, I would be very upset if that goes on past the first week of May.
