  1. recall that the FO wanted Hughes, too, and he's been top-5 in pitcher fWAR* so far *not so great superficially, though
  2. wRC+ is park and league-adjusted
  3. more funny business: Alcantara is younger than Oscar Taveras and has a better wRC+ in the PCL
  4. Baez with 68% contact rate in June (was 56% in April, 58% in May) perhaps non-coincidentally, swing rate is 44% in June (Apr: 54%, May: 53%) this pleases me greatly
  5. i honestly forgot about Braun and thought Abreu was the obvious pick
  6. Arrieta has a higher K rate than Strasburg
  7. Brandon McCarthy (5.11 ERA) has a lower xFIP than Johnny Cueto (1.88 ERA)
  8. he's going to turn that team around 360 degrees
  9. is that a revelatory point? i'm mostly disappointed that i only got to make the same joke like three times before the Seth MacFarlane Lifetime Achievement Award recipient got all bent out of shape also unrelated, Rick Porcello threw a CG SHO last night
  10. you might want to check out the local community college for a refresher course in basic math stuff
  11. yay more futbol
  12. that beautiful, beautiful man
  13. i think i'm probably watching the wrong game, as far as our fortunes are considered
  14. looks like espn3 is overloaded edit: hooray, entry!
  15. probably still a defensive upgrade from Vitters, though
  16. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zk2jnZO01qh6ohxo1_500.png
  17. for the past two seasons, Travis Wood has higher total fWAR than Shark
  18. you can't say pitch in the gam thread take it to the soccer elite thread
  19. i loved both Joe Morgan and Steve Stone when i was younger
  20. SSR will surely die of laughter upon reading that report
  21. his most recent performance is his best, so it stands to reason his projection would be noticeably improved
  22. preseason ZiPS had Alcantara down for .712 OPS, and that was before he's had so far a career-best season in the highest level he's played at anything's possible, but projections should be reasonably north of .700 for him
