  1. i think that basically also means he's gonna be non-tendered this winter
  2. he's leading the Carolina League in hitting, and he's the youngest hitter in the league; top-50 prospect he alone would have been a perfectly fair return for Samardzija
  3. surprised he didn't want to take part in the tradition of heralded recruits being stuck in East Lansing for 4 years never developing an NBA game
  4. Jay / Bourjos / Heyward yikes, i hope we hit a lot of line drives dongs because not much is going to drop in the OF today
  5. remember that year he hit .233? .294/.400/.537 in the 2 seasons since
  6. pretty cool lineup, but i wouldn't mind seeing Russell & Szczur swapped
  7. yeah, watch Maddon get suspended meanwhile Matt Holliday saunters to first with every 3-ball take and the umpires capitulate and shrink their strike zone to better accommodate his team
  8. Banks, Harry, Sandberg, Grace
  9. good grief, this thread is throwing a wrench into the works of my lunch plans
  10. Cardinals bullpen: 4-2/3 IP, 0 ER Cubs bullpen: 3 IP, 3 ER
  11. few things more irritating than walking singles hitters
  12. it could be something as simple as not being able to make the same effort, on every single pitch being thrown a player can give away at bats at the plate, so i don't know if it's unreasonable to wonder if they can do that behind the plate, or whether an ailment may prevent a receiving position that better sells calls
  13. lol. He had 1.4 over 468 PAs heading into this season. 1.9 in 93 now. also started out hot last year (.920 OPS in first half - 34 G) before tailing off (.637 in 2nd half - 50 G), but that may have been largely attributable to a lingering foot injury that kept him unable to play C will be really interesting to see how his season plays out
  14. the current MLB leader in WAR is somebody Beane acquired (from Andrew Friedman) with Cash Considerations
  15. 7th-worst in win probability added
  16. that FIP mixed with .360 babip equals a sub-replacement level pitcher who will lose you a fair amount of ballgames were that true (it's definitively not) it'd be even more aggravating that we were uninterested in exploiting an inefficiency, content to embarrassingly roster two hopeless castoffs and rely on a guy who's suffered a litany of arm problems in his young career
  17. Because their BABIPs are literally .500 and no predictive statistic could possibly expect that to continue? Coke's BABIP for the last 4 years is .360, worst in baseball no predictive statistic could expect 9.39 K/9 and 0 HR/9 to continue, either
  18. Coke has a low FIP and it doesn't really matter because he's the most hittable pitcher in baseball and has been ever since leaving the Yankees
