Is it really necessary to bring Morgan in to talk? Gah!

That 775 OPS between A+ and AA at almost age 26 doesn't quite do it for me. I'm fairly certain this is Braun's age 22 season. And I'd take anybody who's AVG and IsoP are ranked at around the 90th percentile, even if he isn't willing to take a walk. I'm pretty sure neither of those are near the 90th percentile this year. Edited to remove "fairly certain", I didn't even see you use that. He still projects mighty well. I'm hardly a sucker for projection... but this kid could pull a nice Wily Mo impression, with some extra BA on top. Edit: Looking at the kid a little closer, he projects to be about the same player as Aramis. More K's, but better D (assuming this year from Aramis is a fluke) -
Walker since June 1: .244/.346/.286 Walker vs lefties for the year: .211/.322/.289 Perez since June 1: .339/.355/.548 Perez vs lefties for the year: .322/.323/.508 Why in the world would you send Walker up in that situation? Because of Neifi's stature as one of the worst hitters to keep a job in the major leagues, all time? Don't make me bust out an argument on small sample sizes. Neifi was a god for a month in 2004, remember?

Game. Set. Match.
-
Lee with the double to oppo.
-
I think the measure of how badly Dusty wants out of here at this point is going to be determined from whether or not he pinch hits Walker for Neifi here. Edit: Buh Bye Dusty.

I'd be all over this, but only if we make sure to push it pretty deep. In other words, I don't want to top off with a top 10 list for everybody. Maybe top 25 or so for each position?
-
The way I remember it, we didn't seem too interested in him in the outfield.
-
Wow... Lee and Aramis are the only good hitters in the bunch.

seconded thirded

nobody SHOULD be SURPRISED! :shock: Thanks for that... whatever it was.
-
Morgan Ensberg has more walks this year than Neifi has had total since the beginning of 2003.
-
With an OBP of .391 :shock:

Trib article suggests end is near for inept coaching staff!

Does watching the Cubs make me drink? -
Say no to neck fat!
-
I'll tell you exactly what his philosophy will be... Mind-numbingly frustrating.
-
Aramis, Jacque, and Williamson for ARod and Tabata. I'd pull the trigger on that in a second.
-
I did say "partial" Rosters go up to 32 for the All-Star Game... and the rest should be Ozzie's pick, IIRC.
-
http://highandtight.blogspot.com/ Those fellas have been watching the shop at MLB.com, as they tend to let things slip a little earlier than they should.... and here's what they've seen. Looks like we'll be a little under-represented this year... not that I'm surprirsed.

Lee or Dunn?
Rob replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
DePo just signed on as a special assistant with the Padres earlier this week... sorry. -
And the closer on my fantasy team (Jenks) decides to give up a couple singles (destroying his WHIP for this week) to get my left fielder (Bay) up... then promptly strikes him out to record the save. I hate when that kind of crap happns...

Lee or Dunn?
Rob replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Of course you don't, that'd be foolish. But Dunn does happen to bring more than the long ball. He also has the moderately-less long ball, also known as the double. And as I'm sure you've had crammed into your head more than you care for, the son of a gun draws walks... tons of them. And would you believe it, his career average comes in at .246 Pretty darn close to that arbitrary .250 number you pulled as the cutoff earlier, if I'm not mistaken. As I'm sure you're well aware, most good players have that one career year where they get lucky and hit for a higher batting average that they normally would. Now, think about how amazing Dunn would be in that one year. Gambling on that would definately be worth passing on proven mediocrity like Carlos Lee, don't you think? Oh, and insterestingly enough, BP's measure of his speed puts him in the 60th percentile for MLB players... and I'm inclined to side with them on this matter, looking back at 2002 where he stole 19 bags leads me to believe he's not completely devoid of speed, as you said. -
It won me the RBI title for the week in my fantasy baseball league, beat out the other guy by just one RBI. :lol:

Gathright to Royals
Rob replied to Neuby's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'd take Howell over Gathright five days a week, and twice on Sundays.
