    i mean that being a viable SS makes Russell probably the #1 prospect, even though he'd lose actual production value being relegated to 3B due to roster composition i also suspect Contra probably holds more value as a 2B, which would inflate his prospect ranking, even though it's not reflected in our defensive setup

    his contact rate (64%) isn't any better for August, so his recent K avoidance is a bit of a mystery one nice sign though, is he swung at pitches outside of the zone 27% of the time in June, but has dropped that figure to 12% and 13% in the two months since [source: http://minorleaguecentral.com/player?pid=592178&type=batter&split=2014]

    eh, not really i posted this immediately following the Russell trade, and my thoughts haven't really changed very much also, if i accept this to be true, then he's definitively the best prospect in baseball*, and i'd be happy to see 3B & SS switched on my above lineup (Soler can be pushed ahead of Bryant, too, but that's like, whatever) *not named Jorge Soler

    83 pitches on 7 IP so far *expectations raised to Maddux-level*
  6. sneakypower
    at this point, i trust Straily and Turner just about as much as i do McCarthy
  7. sneakypower
    not a chance; any time i get the chance to move 1.5 years of a good-very good pitcher for the best prospect in baseball, i'll do it

    4.3% BB, 26.1% K, .093 ISO 4.4% BB, 24.4% K, .073 ISO one is Contra's August line, the other is Rizzo's his 73% contact for the month doesn't worry me, either; he just seems be have been the victim of a few really nice defensive plays, he'll be fine Castro's hitting .415 for the month

    i was gonna bracket Soler's hot stretch with arbitrary endpoints to make them look super video gamey, then i quickly realized that isn't even remotely necessary for a guy with a 1.225 OPS on the season
  11. sneakypower
    pretty [expletive] call, he was safe
  12. sneakypower
    Lester's won two WS, i'm pretty confident he'll prioritize money so much with this contract he'll care about little else in terms of team situations
  13. sneakypower
    Not a very good K/BB ratio for the hitters this weekend, though. I also had it sorted by WAR (5th) instead of wOBA (9th) buoyed in large part by Coghlan's .338/.418/.550 slash

    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
  19. sneakypower
    Josh Harrison has the same WAR as Anthony Rizzo Josh Donaldson 2.0?
  20. sneakypower
    NSBB's 7th rounder (which i received for Brad Miller) now goes to The Process in the Josh Harrison trade
  21. sneakypower
    damn, what was the pop time on that throw?
  22. sneakypower
    he's down below a 5-win pace now :(
  23. 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?)
  24. sneakypower
    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
  25. sneakypower
    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
