  1. i meant to address this the other day, but this is a [shadow=red]terrible[/shadow]argument unless you believe Gambler's Fallacy simply does not apply to baseball which is admittedly something i have wondered on occasion
  2. One of two moves he told me he was hearing... sounds like it's about to happen per Gordo fwiw. Not really a surprise move though either. omg did he also tell you we were drafting Ian Happ???
  3. looks like you received a tweet on your feed that you will never forget
  4. has kyle groveled this guy out of his meaningless info yet
  5. Rizzo 8th in baseball (8.5) and Bryant is 11th (7.5) for full-season fWAR pace Castro 9th-worst, surrounded by star names (Utley, Ortiz, Kemp, Zimmerman, Hanley, Cano, CarGo)
  6. i know nothing about nothing, but this guy & Daz are 2 picks i'd be most immediately pleased with
  7. if Mr. Fastball-Only messes up his elbow, no pitcher out there stands a chance anymore
  8. for his Cubs career: 28 GS, 2.89 ERA, [glow=red]0.97 WHIP[/glow], 1.6 BB/9, 8.8 K/9, 3.09 FIP, 3.10 xFIP, 3.8 fWAR how about a lifetime contract for The Boz
  9. i just thought that was some cutesy pick with the presumption this exercise allows you to kidnap foreigners
  10. http://media3.giphy.com/media/4v9ygC80lIJ5C/giphy.gif
  11. unfortunately, Starling Marte should be top 30
  12. this is bonkers
  13. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/franchise150605/espn-mlb-franchise-player-draft i'm such a terrible sucker for these Moncada 16th is outrageous btw
  14. last month has seen us with the worst bullpen xFIP in baseball, and no other bullpen has controlled the strike zone worse http://www.flexiblesystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/iStock_000020080991_ExtraSmall.jpg
  15. his last month stats are grotesque, but if you look at just the past two weeks i guess he's had about as dominant a 4+ innings as you can have with 3.86 K/9 if he can keep up that 0 HR/9 and .071 BABIP up long-term, he'll probably even be useful!
  16. it was more than 10 years ago we traded Latroy Hawkins for Aardsma and Jerome Williams kind of amazing all three are still in the game
  17. those two are impossibly naive
  18. http://cdn.playbuzz.com/cdn/e06de57e-d148-4024-9520-28bfd6fed1d5/b037b3ef-8744-48fd-a473-4ac8e00f8359.gif
  19. can you guess the AAA SS? .266/.324/.378 in 88 G, 7 HR & 11 SB, 33 BB & 65 K through 402 PA (age 20 & 21) .335/.386/.439 in 70 G, 4 HR & 23 SB, 26 BB & 33 K through 311 PA (age 20 & 21) [spoil]1st is Francisco Lindor, reputed top 10 prospect in the game...2nd is Ketel Marte, afterthought[/spoil]
  20. [source] (Neyer alert)
  21. quality of bullpen is basically the entire difference: 3.9 RA9-WAR & 3.30 WPA for them, 0.5 & -0.69 for us the two teams are hardly distinguishable beyond that (7.1 hitter WAR for both, 4.4 & 4.3 starter RA9-WAR)
  22. you actually could craft an argument with Tigers system, it's just complete utter trash...they'd maybe hold onto Ziomek and possibly Farmer in talks? Derek Hill and Moya might have nice tools but they simply just can't hit Brewers you can't do this with; Arcia, Coulter, Lopez, Medeiros beat him out in all likelihood it's probably fair to wonder if he's in our top 10: Schwarbs McKinney Torres Underwood Almora Carl Sjunior Eloy Pierce Johnson Black Tseng Villanueva??
  23. but for just half the salary restraints Andrew Miller shackles your team with, you can have one Jason Motte!
