i still expect Bryant makes the team out of ST
-
in the summary it shows 10.3 defensive value, which is +4.1 actual defense and 6.2 positional adjustment i liked it better before, but they changed it for some reason; i continually get momentarily excited that Castro's D has progressed into a positive and am hit with the cold reality that it's just the positional adjustment tricking me
-
he's only been judged to be +4 defensively, and his offense is nearly the exact C average (.237/.301/.387 vs. .246/.311/.380) he's lucky FG doesn't weigh framing, which he sucks at, and factors in things he's decent at: PB avoidance and CSs

motion denied

on a semi-related note, can i have Corey Kluber back
-
i'm so excited; i'm so...scared

assuming 600-650 PA apiece, i'd guess about 200

top-50 for pitcher RA9-WAR since hitting the bigs in '12, ahead of guys like Samardzija, Ervin Santana, CJ Wilson i'm a fan how does he have a career 4.68 fip? HR generosity bases empty: 1.67 HR/9 men on base: 0.83 HR/9 FIP assumes those rates to be similar -

The Cuban Defectors Thread
sneakypower replied to davell's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Is Zips® the right projection to use for this purpose over Zips(U)? yeah, that's correct; ZiPS (U) is just the rest-of-season projection added onto current season stats -

from a month ago, but his wOBA projection's only dropped by .004 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-top-10-prospects-currently-by-projected-war-3/ a full-season of his current ZiPS still amounts to a 2 win pace -

during the same time-frame you're referencing, Josh Harrison has been the best player in baseball (and Ryan Braun one of the 5-worst); it's not a terribly useful sample size projection systems still like him, and scouts still like him...sometimes players slump -
Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-22-14
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
but there's no DH in the NL -
ah, there's the bat-flip i've been yearning for
-
ZiPS has Logan Watkins for a 79 wRC+; with his speed and positional flexibility, that could actually make for a pretty useful utility bat
-
i'm having heart palpitations.
-
and justice prevails for the good guys
-
ugh, more of this lane nonsense
-
needs more bat-flip

This might be the dumbest thing asked on here since Da Bum left it's misguided to keep repeating that some of these prospects are sure to fail with the implication veterans are comparatively a sure thing; it's a point that's needlessly belabored it's been said before, but it warrants repeating that "minor league batting statistics will predict major league batting performance with essentially the same reliability as previous major league statistics" so let's talk about the veterans who'll flame out, too, like Schierholtz, Jackson, Sweeney, etc. have -
oh now you've done it
