  1. Zimmerman's the slowest [expletive] there is, but i guess stuff like that happens sometimes with 21 year olds
  2. probably a bad scouting report for them to play Castro that deep
  3. did the NL East get disbanded
  4. #3 pitcher in baseball for past calendar year (using FIP-based WAR) http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=10&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0
  5. Junior Lake seems the perfect NL #9 hitter #moveupaddi
  6. 3rd-best player in baseball for the past calendar year (despite missing 20+ G) http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=10&season1=2015&ind=0&team=&rost=&age=0&filter=&players=
  7. re the quotes issue, all you need to do is spot the last set of closing quotes and read whatever's after it
  8. pretty obvious he'll get 'til June 11th, then it's reevaluation time
  9. Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's?
  10. 70.8% for May last year it was 62.9% in Iowa
  11. http://i.imgur.com/DcIPlSS.jpg
  12. what on earth just happened on that flyout and why is it not in the bleachers
  13. Fowler caught that, and then i think flew all the way back into the wall
  14. I agree; his continued presence the 4-spot is baffling. Not that it's news to anyone here, but among qualifying Cubs hitters, Castro ranks as follows: wOBA: Last (.278) BB%: Last (3.7%) LD%: Last (16.4%) GB%: First (60.3%) Soft%: First (24%) He might be the least well-suited position player to bat in that spot. Move him down until he gets right. This is just so depressing to read. He was someone I think pretty much everyone just assumed would be a lock to be productive. this is the great irony of those "can't rely too much on unproven prospects" arguments
  15. time to put uzr in the garbage can don't be that guy he has 5 assists and has failed on just one semi-routine play all season; it's perfectly fair to assess him positive impact to this point http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=lf&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=y&type=3&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0
  16. 5/26 update (162 G pace) Rizzo: 7.78 Bryant: 7.35 Fowler: 5.15 Russell: 3.17 Montero: 4.30 Coghlan: 2.63 Soler: 1.85 Castro: -0.94 Coghlan's an interesting case: he's had 8 games with just one plate appearance / also shielding him from LHP, so that effects his pace some, but he's also been evaluated by UZR as the 2nd-best fielding LF largely on account of his throwing, and he's on pace for 25+ HR while never before reaching double-digits, but then he's sitting at .220 BABIP after entering the season with a .324 career mark he's been the worst Cubs hitter for win contribution (-0.70 WPA), in large part due to situational splits: bases empty - .355 wOBA / .242 BABIP & 30% hard-hit runners on - .237 wOBA / .172 BABIP & 40% hard-hit all of this is basically a roundabout way of saying we've gotten a total bizarro-world version of Chris Coghlan the first two months of the season
  17. he's a great LF
  18. he projects both Schwarber and Nomar Maraza as corner OFs -but- he prefers the guy with career .262/.350/.429 line to the .331/.432/.621 guy...there's factoring age relative to league, but that's totally silly
  19. Wins are good for fantasy baseball
