  1. career year for Fowler
  2. Pat Burrell, too it's hard to identify a perfect comp, but Bay used the whole field while Burrell was mostly dead-pull so i went with him; Bryant's OF defense is a bit of an unknown anyway
  3. numbers relative to league; Troy had a 124 OPS+ ages 22-31, with years of 138 and 150 thrown in there 150 OPS+ is 2014 Edwin Encarnacion offense- as a decent 3B, that's an MVP winner 138 OPS+ is 2014 Nelson Cruz... also, he averaged 3.9 bWAR (133 G) during that time and 4.9 bWAR per 650 PA
  4. i voted for him in this poll
  5. best / likely / worst -case Bryant B: Troy Glaus/Jesse Barfield L: Jason Bay W: Corey Hart Russell B: Barry Larkin L: JJ Hardy W: Alex (S) Gonzalez Jorge Soler B: Andre Dawson L: Jermaine Dye W: Austin Kearns
  6. i'm confident we will, oddly enough, in large part because of the utility he'll have for Maddon in non-pitching roles
  7. they're essentially tied, but i'll go Bryant over Russell on the slim chance he becomes 3B Giancarlo
  8. KATOH Projections for the Top 200 Prospects http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/katoh-projections-for-the-top-200-prospects/ pretty cool to read this earlier post of his, especially the historical stuff: http://www.hardballtimes.com/katoh-forecasting-a-hitters-major-league-performance-with-minor-league-stats/ also has KATOH WAR thru age 28 for Alcantara: 12.3 Baez: 7.8 Hendricks: 5.1
  9. Lindor 14th really stands out, as does Jon Gray 28th Alex Jackson & Schwarber back-to-back
  10. Rivals Is Scouting Sixth Grade Football Players Now http://thebiglead.com/2015/02/16/rivals-is-scouting-sixth-grade-football-players-now/
  11. amazing finish to Bruins-Flames: OT 4:58: Goal scored by T.J. Brodie(Backhand 30 ft) assisted by Mark Giordano and Sean Monahan >BOS 3, CGY 4 @NHLBruins #NHLBruins fall to Flames 4-3 as OT winds down. Shot from T.J. Brodie pops off Rask's glove, on top of the net, off his back & into the net. http://i.imgur.com/ZcM2rZW.gif
  12. my belief for likelihood of Baez career outcomes: Alfonso Soriano (5%) Ian Desmond (10%) Danny Espinosa (50%) Brandon Wood (35%)
  13. i've read our strength of schedule should help quite a bit maybe it won't, but i'm not really stressing out over it
  14. but congrats at barely overcoming an offense centered around a short unathletic point guard and short unathletic center a statement win if there ever were one
  15. i'm pretty emotionally exhausted after watching a game with possible outcomes ranging from "likely NIT" to "likely NIT"
  16. whomever trades for Hamels, it's not going to take 4-5 legitimate prospects to acquire his services, come on
  17. injuries to Walton and Levert forced him into action but bless his heart, he's terrible
  18. When it comes to hating Baez you're like an atheist Crossfitter. and to think, if we had no chance to compete soon, i'd probably love him and all the ridiculousness he provides (see: Lake, Junior) http://i.imgur.com/VK3aHns.jpg like wtf is that
  19. "See the thing is, I can see Bryant becoming a 100 walk, 100 strikeout hitter." -Sickels
  20. wow [source]
  21. surprisingly ZiPS still likes him, rates him #57 prospect
  22. a certain 2011 draftee will usurp his status in short order
