    http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-xbabip-underperformers/ this briefly suggests that Turner has a expected BABIP of .299 (compared to his actual .358 figure), which is one of the biggest disparities so far for xBABIP

    Josh Harrison has the same WAR as Anthony Rizzo Josh Donaldson 2.0?
  6. sneakypower
    NSBB's 7th rounder (which i received for Brad Miller) now goes to The Process in the Josh Harrison trade

    damn, what was the pop time on that throw?
  8. sneakypower
    he's down below a 5-win pace now :(
  9. sneakypower
    my half-baked theory is the Tigers hyper-aggressively promoted him before he ever developed much of a knockout off-speed pitch and he's survived on sinker alone (Rick Porcello, Andrew Miller, Corey Knebel?)

    i haven't given up on the Doug Fister fantasy yet, and that guy was pretty sweet in the playoffs (going off memory) but yeah, that doesn't apply to this conversation much

    if we were going to trade Al Contra by now, we'd surely just have paired him with Wood for Price soon you pukes will all see him as the very good player he is

    man, i love Jorge Soler at the next level
  14. sneakypower
    i should have stated in this i'm overly confident Turner and Straily will be at least league-average the new inefficiency can be a staff full of #3s
  15. sneakypower
    socks with sandals is a thing now, dweebs
  16. sneakypower
    Arrieta, Turner, Hendricks, Straily, Wood midseason trade for TOR starter
  17. sneakypower
    this is really [expletive] exciting

    Drop: E Hosmer Add: L Duda

    that all boils down to personal opinion, based on how much nuanced thought and reasoning you're willing to commit to the exercise; i'm not really interested in that argument at this time but i mostly assume somebody making the accusation that '12 was voluntary suckitude is doing so with the main intent of losing my respect for their opinions in general
  20. sneakypower
    it's a tangential point now, but people earlier in this discussion (and in others) who are framing failures to compete in '12 as the FO's willful or purposeful tanking seem so hilariously divorced from the confines of reality the new FO inherited a 91-loss team, saw the payroll cut by $25M and the internal options at their disposal (Brett Jackson, Josh Vitters, Bryan LaHair, Steve Clevenger, Chris Rusin, [Marwin Gonzalez, Ryan Flaherty, DJ LeMahieu]) all went on to combine for minus-1.6 fWAR reasonable expections, to be sure "the team i'm giving you really sucks already, and i'm slashing your budget, and using the guys from the minors will only make you worse" "but i'd still like you to compete"
  21. sneakypower
    And praying for no holes. yeah, good luck with that Chris Davis hit 53 HR last year, and he's sitting at replacement level right now Proven Veterans™ Matt Kemp, Jay Bruce, Allen Craig, Carlos Gonzalez, Prince Fielder, Billy Butler, Alfonso Soriano, Aaron Hill, Eric Hosmer, Carl Crawford, Carlos Beltran, Shin-soo Choo and like 100 other players with a track record, have all been pretty dismal this year...and this is to say nothing of the volatility of pitching looking only at prospects that have floundered and drawing broad conclusions is ignorant of the greater unpredictability in player performance and serves as confirmation bias for an ill-informed mindset

    "Minor league batting statistics will predict major league batting performance with essentially the same reliability as previous major league statistics." -Bill James
  23. sneakypower
    they'll both show up but i already [expletive] hate the CBA that incentivizes this, if that answers your question
  24. sneakypower
    it seems like they probably made a miscalculation, but in the end they still ended up with a monster IFA haul for it, even factoring in the lost class this year
  25. sneakypower
    what a weird comment; if Coghlan gets termed a bright spot, there's been like 10-11 bright spots, even ignoring guys who've been dealt away
