    Not a fan.

    Buxton is going to make it to us. He'll go 2 to Minnesota or 3 to the M's. If this IS the case, I guess the Orioles take one of Gausman or Zimmer and the Royals take the other. Pretty much gives us Zunino, unless we surprise with Giolito. Almora?

    Colvin: 3.2 BB%, 28.7 K%, 15.8 HR/FB% Stewart: 10.1 BB%, 19.0 K%, 13.3 HR/FB% Stewart is playing much better than Colvin even before you factor in defensive value. The only reason Colvin's numbers look even superficially better is his completely and utterly unsustainable .393 BABIP (compared to Stewart's .217 figure). This trade didn't look bad to begin with, and it's looking better since the start of this season. It only looks worse if you aren't paying attention.

    That would have been my first thought, but my migraine is making it impossible to think. So yeah, now worried about an injury.

    I wonder if the Cubs have been working with Rizzo's agent. Seems like they wouldn't call him up a month in front of the "keep club control for an extra year" deadline if there wasn't something long-term worked out. Or maybe it's not a callup.

    I think these two posts sum up the Ian Stewart argument quite well.

    The Rays have the third best record in baseball and were batting Drew Sutton 4th the other day.

    I was a moron through the 2003 season. Near the end of that season, I began reading more of Rob Neyer, as well as picked up Moneyball and The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract (can't remember which came first). I was immersed immediately after that. It probably took 4-5 seasons of making an ass out of myself by not fully understanding the statistics I was talking about, but I feel I've got a reasonably good grip on them now. And I'm learning to blend them with scouting reports and what I've seen with my own eyes in terms of things like mechanics.

    Hey Tree, how about SSR and your sister?

    I almost dragged myself out of bed last night to write up a huge post before I thought better of it. I may do it when I get off work anyways though.

    Please stop talking stats. You don't want to get me started.

    How can you single out a favorite part? It's all spectacularly stupid.

    How many times do I have to tell you people to stop using flim-flam. Counting stats are devoid of meaning without context. Use wFF+ and pay attention to mitigating factors like that time he struck out with a runner on third. Or better yet, skin color and hustle.

    If Stewart can put up his career numbers (.233 batting average and all), while playing slightly above average defense, he can be a league average-ish starter. There are exactly zero better, major-league-ready options in the system right now. This is a silly debate.
  23. Rob
    Hey Nate, what is your favorite color?
  24. Rob
    Is this the part where I get all full of myself for ranking him higher than everybody else?

    Wade Davis is gonna be pretty excited when he stops receiving WSR's used underwear in the mail.
