    i thought i remembered Anthopolous coveting the hell out of Gose; i guess he didn't develop quite as he'd hoped and Pompey made him expendable
  3. sneakypower
    yes yes, let's definitely do that
  4. sneakypower
    i didn't know Kershaw was in School Ties
  5. sneakypower
    because we'll only play him if it's the Last Resort
  6. sneakypower
    can we call him "Papa"
  7. sneakypower
    would it just be easier to move to a 14-team league

    "the Schwartz years" probably doesn't place in the top 10 of a Lions fans misery list i don't feel much schadenfreude about the Bears this season; you're not Ohio State / Cardinals / UK hoops

    http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/1259197/i-wanna-dip-my-balls-in-it-o.gif well now i'm actually glad i labored through the last however many pages of the Olin Kreutz tangent

    i'd kind of wondered if it was because the surrounding talent level was such that they're in a best-case scenario for showcasing playmaking ability in a way that won't really transfer over assumptions: - it didn't matter that Trent Richardson can't make the right cuts because he was always given gaping holes to run though - it didn't matter that some of these CBs like Arenas, Kirkpatrick, Milliner can't actually cover real great because the D-Line was suffocating the QB it seemed to me too, that USC used to have this problem...but some of these guys are so physically freakish that they'll excel regardless

    replace Hendricks with any other pitching prospect and that probably wouldn't anger me

    to actually say this, you have to be: a) a complete skeptic of the effect pitch framing can have b) totally unaware at the discrepancy which exists between the two players statcorner: 2014 2013 2012 total Martin +11 +17 +24 52 Castillo -24 -17 -5 -46 Baseball Prospectus: 2014 2013 2012 total Martin +19 +15 +23 57 Castillo -10 -16 -3 -29source: http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php http://www.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=1667331 so, i'm really curious to hear which it is...because it's not unfathomable (to me) to believe that an event on which they have influence about 7,000-10,000 times could really add up to a significant effect, especially when scouting sources universally agree they're at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of ability it's simply impossible for me to hand-wave a factor that could alone likely amount to a 2-3 win difference

    i don't know where you're seeing this, but it's very unlikely to be accurate per UZR*, he's only been positive once (2012), but to be fair he's never been a huge overall liability at SS, either; in fact, it's probably safe to project him to give back half a win with his glove, which is perfectly fine if he still hits .280 all & all, i'd eventually just move him to 2B if i got glowing reviews on Russell's glovework *fielding bible & totalzone are even slightly less forgiving I'm guessing Fangraphs, he's positive in their Def column every year other than 2011. that's because he plays SS; positional adjustment gives you back 7.5 runs per full season about 3/4 of starting SS are rated positively defensively after that is factored in

    when he falls outside the top 20 in most advanced metrics for QBs it's worthwhile to consider if he's been a significant part of the problem
  17. sneakypower
    i really don't believe the Cubs part of that to be true
  18. sneakypower
    Pierce Johnson, Dunston Jr. and Vogelbach/Almora
  19. sneakypower
    i was a little intrigued about the Kemp possibility and then i saw he's -34(!) in CF for his last 1800 innings (200 G) and he's still owed 5/108 ...nevermind!
  20. sneakypower
    tell me why (i don't like Mundy)
  21. sneakypower
    Cardiac Cats
  22. sneakypower
    Scherzer simply just ain't happening
  23. sneakypower
    not if these refs can help it
  24. sneakypower
    steamer is alright, oliver is garbage
  25. sneakypower
    Jameis Winston isn't still a first-rounder, is he
