    Pat Burrell age 22 AA: 117 G .333/.438/.631 (20.7% K)

    so they must be #10 on the list

    19.6% of making the playoffs (higher than pittsburgh!) http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/ac118/ROBsessedBlog2/gifs/Non%20Rob%20Funnies/so-excited-gif3.gif you're surely misreading something

    ZiPS right now projects Lake for the best BABIP in baseball going forward, at .345...it is a skill, and he might be the best at it right now so he's still overperforming that a little bit, and ZiPS is skeptical his power will sustain at current levels*, but i'd also argue he's underperformed in other areas of the game like baserunning and throwing, to where he might lose some offense and still be very able to gain back production in other areas to where he's still performing at an average/above-average level *if the model doesn't factor in speed, then i disagree somewhat with this

    you're making a pretty stupid assumption Shark will be traded for 18 year olds
  7. sneakypower
    well this would be very nightmarish
  8. sneakypower
    no, i want Rodon that seems a little inappropriate
  9. sneakypower
    in substituting any of Barney's feeble muscles, Soler would probably start running like the guy from QWOP

    [expletive] uncle we get it, you're a dismissive attention-seeking idiot, thoroughly averse to any type of meaningful discussion...why you persist in hammering this point home further and further with every single [expletive] post is a complete and total mystery to me

    my immediate reaction was that his new stance looked like Omar Infante's, who's one of the hardest players to K i wonder if Brett Jackson is experimenting with a Alberto Callaspo stance

    http://minorleaguecentral.com/ here's Iowa: http://minorleaguecentral.com/team?tid=4512014&table=0&split=200&age=99&amod=%3C=&time=0&q=&table=6

    Alcantara AA - 74% AAA - 72% Baez AA - 65.5% AAA - 54% Baez was a year younger at each stop, but i still consider that a significant gap, especially at their current level
  14. sneakypower
    please educate me some about your definitive understanding of their futures you're all too well-informed of to even bother with differing opinions maybe it can go in the bin with the Carlos Gomez, Rick Porcello declarations for further revisiting at a later date
  15. sneakypower
    both there's enormous bust potential with Javy that's really hard to ignore, and Alcantara's a much, much safer play while still having the upside of a really good player in his own right 150 PAs of barely 50% contact rate is just impossible to fathom; consider that reported-to-be-blind Mike Olt had 150 PA of 73% contact at Iowa last year, and the universe's most reviled hacker Junior Lake was at 73% in his 170 Iowa PA...even Brett Jackson's been steady at 65% for his career in AAA, until this year (60.5% in 85 PA)
  16. sneakypower
    to be totally honest, Baez and Alcantara aren't very far apart, to me
  17. sneakypower
    If having 400 insanely fluky PAs makes you a good starter, then he's been a good starter. But he's probably not going to be anymore. yeah, you said that 2 months ago, if i recall right that was when you were predicting a -1 WAR season and declared Coghlan (-.4 fWAR), Sweeney (-.5 fWAR), Kalish (-.4 fWAR), Darnell McDonald (lol), etc. as clearly better alternatives you're not needed here
  18. sneakypower
    wrist [expletive]
  19. sneakypower
    but he actually is a good starter, is the point here
  20. sneakypower
    yeah, Cubs fans really are the worst toward their own good players
  21. sneakypower
    another fun stat Junior Lake has a higher WAR in the past calendar year (387 PA) than Rizzo (702)
  22. sneakypower
    Darwin Barney has a higher K rate in May than Junior Lake
  23. sneakypower
    give Castro's defense a standing O
  24. sneakypower
    you guys are weird there was a kid on my team way the hell back in little league who emulated Jeter...it's pretty crazy to think about the kind of career he's had

    you don't say?? http://i.imgur.com/3H07BTj.jpg
