    Basketball sucks only if you're a communist I believe personal attacks are against board rules. I have my personal opinion about basketball and you have yours, that doesn't mean you have the right to start calling me names. This is a baseball website last time I checked. take basketball somewhere else. Stop catching feelings

    Look, I'd like to have Adam Dunn in our outfield as much as anyone else but... http://www.users.muohio.edu/rothkr/not%20this%20again%20copy.jpg edited, happy?

    I disagree. I think that a number of long relief appearences by a young pitcher can serve as a good opportunity for evaluating whether or not that pitcher can be an asset in the rotation. Why not put the guy in the rotation to evaluate him? I guess that would be too simple. Maybe the organization isn't sure if the pitcher has enough quality pitches to be have success or wants to try him out in lower leverage situations. Especially if the team is having success with its current rotation.

    Atlanta and Los Angeles both build their system around "ceiling and toolsy players" and they have two of the best farm systems in baseball. The decline in the farm system has more to do with, like you said, our recent failures in latin america and asia, John Stocksill's mediocre drafts, and injuries. In LA's, count the number of everyday position players they have that have come from their system. It's not a very big number. They had Izturis, and before that, who? LoDuca? Piazza? It's not as if LA's a factory of productive young players the way Atlanta does. I think (hope) he was talking about the Angels. I know he was talking about the Dodgers.

    When was the last time LA produced a good player?

    What about Prior being potentially arbitration-eligible? I'd expect a salary raise from the 2.5 you estimated if he is.
  12. kroth1342
    Would anyone else give Matt Lawton another chance? If he is healthy this year, he seems to be a possible cheap, productive pickup. Coming off his positive test, his price will be very low. I would have given him another shot to be a corner OF if we needed one.

    I'll be happy to do that if it happens.

    Baseball Prospectus calculates FRAR, which is fielding runs saved over replacement.

    And your plan to get tejada is...

    I thought Mind Game was ok, although a lot of the stuff would be familiar to Baseball Prospectus readers and followers. Still good to see lots of applied analysis to the context of that season.

    Why can't they play LF?
  20. kroth1342
    But a difference of 1 million dollars between the first season at 5 and the 1 yr deal you use as an example is fairly inconsequential within a $100m payroll. Your point is that you would be glad his contract is off the books after one year, so don't the years actually bother you more than the money?
  21. kroth1342
    I disagree - I think the three years is pretty **** bad. If it was, say, 3 years, $7 million, it would be better. Who in the hell would take Jacque Jones off our hands at 5+ million per year? Do you think we could get him for around $2 million a year? Are you serious?
  22. kroth1342
    I disagree - I think the three years is pretty [expletive] bad.

    Matt Murton is one of the few potential high-OBP guys we have, why does he deserve to be in the AL? To DH?
  24. kroth1342
    Who watches "Glitter"?
  25. kroth1342
    Can your mom get on base like Murton does?
