    on a semi-related note, can i have Corey Kluber back
  2. sneakypower
    i'm so excited; i'm so...scared
  3. sneakypower
    assuming 600-650 PA apiece, i'd guess about 200
  4. sneakypower
    how do i know if i've made it in

    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

  7. sneakypower
    wow, that was one of the best fielding plays i ever remember seeing a pitcher make
  8. sneakypower
    i've got 0.94 ERA / 0.84 WHIP since his first MLB inning

    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
  10. sneakypower
    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
  11. sneakypower
    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
  12. sneakypower
    but there's no DH in the NL
  13. sneakypower
    ah, there's the bat-flip i've been yearning for
  14. sneakypower
    ZiPS has Logan Watkins for a 79 wRC+; with his speed and positional flexibility, that could actually make for a pretty useful utility bat
  15. sneakypower
    i'm having heart palpitations.
  16. sneakypower
    and justice prevails for the good guys
  17. sneakypower
    ugh, more of this lane nonsense
  18. sneakypower
    needs more bat-flip
  19. sneakypower
    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
  20. sneakypower
    oh now you've done it
  21. sneakypower
    Bill Bavasi, foremost
  22. sneakypower
    who specifically are the inevitable failures?
  23. sneakypower
    60% contact rate now for Baez - Olt was 65%, Lake was 61% he improved significantly from his abysmal contact rates early at Iowa, but that was largely credited to a change in his swing that allowed him to reach the outside fastball he'll mostly just have to stop swinging at so many pitches out of the zone, which is do-able as he gets more comfortable
  24. sneakypower
    better make it a 60-day stint
  25. sneakypower
    eh, i still mostly like Cameron's stuff
