2014 Draft Discussion

no, hell no, that's like us shying away from SS because of Castro's throwaway year -
here's a [expletive] taste http://wac.450F.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/nj1015.com/files/2013/05/Collins-CArtoon.jpeg saw that reposted from "Kevin Sorbo Official Facebook Page", lol

2014 Draft Discussion

ABTY said it. So McLeod probably doesn't even know who Jackson is. how long ago were you groveling at this guy's feet for a TV deal scoop? -
Rox really are dream trading partner, tons of guys i'd love (to varying degrees): Gray ( ), Butler, Matzek, Winkler, Parker, Dickerson, Murphy, Dahl, Herrera
-
Well, he's kind of sucked this year. But yeah, they aren't giving up 6 years of Gray or w/e for a year or so of Samardzija. aside from one disastrous start, he's been awesome: 1.83 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 6.5 H/9, 1.3 BB/9, 8.6 K/9

I don't think that is the case. Bryant can hit anything in the zone. He seems to have better strike zone awareness that Baez (faint praise), but he gets way out in front of breaking balls out of the zone. Bryant's making contact on 78% of pitches in the zone (SL league average is 82%), and he chases at 1 out of 6 balls outside the zone last year at TN, Baez was making contact with 73% of pitches in the zone, and chased at 1 in 5 outside the zone total contact rate favors Bryant, 69.5 vs. last year Baez's 65.5 (league average is 77%)

us making the playoffs within those first two seasons was a near-impossibility, and to pretend otherwise proves you're not even attempting to be remotely objective about things
-
he of the -50 UZR/150, and 0.4 total fWAR? he's also DH'd in 40% of his games played (full disclosure: i wanted Chris B Young/Granderson)

13 HRs and 9 BBs, and he's 5'8...impressive -
but now i have a dream of watching a 40 HR, 95-hit season
-
yeah, i was cutting & slicing his gamelogs until i realized i couldn't come up with any combination that had him hitting .200 and just kind of quit and said "[expletive] this guy"
-
lol, this is great
-
Lake's career 650 PA pace for his career is still 2.95 WAR (2.62 this season) but he hasn't actually helped the team nearly as much as that may imply http://i.imgur.com/BbxrQnI.png so despite being well above average in a context-neutral setting, he's been below average on a per-play basis (WPA); this is driven by a poor clutch score (How much better or worse a player does in high leverage situations than he would have done in a context neutral environment): 2nd-worst on the team during that time, trailing only Ryan Sweeney but he's still the best OF on the team (faint praise), so you'll want to keep playing him, but for whatever reason that you want to theorize he's clearly been hopelessly inept in run-producing situations, so i'd greatly prefer just batting him leadoff until he proves ineffective there, in which case we'll hopefully have an upgrade available by then also, he's struck out in 12 of 17 career pinch-hit ABs, which is kind of amazing
-
Mike Olt is in the bottom-5 for LW runs (on a per-pitch basis, min. 100 PA) against sliders: -6.83 (runs/100) curves: -4.16 changes: -6.09 but he is in the top-20 vs. fastballs, though sorry, but i still don't think he's really very good
-
so what, he'll lose a year, come back in the middle of his age-22 season and be awesome again
-
so, i decided to spot-start Lyons today in fantasy...
-
if you do this for just the past month... Castro - 3.7 Rizzo - 5.2 Bonifacio - 0.0

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-12-14
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
it's pretty hard to tell the difference between Baez's and Brett Jackson's lines right now actually, Jackson has the higher wOBA, at the moment -
if somebody wants, they can dock my team 5 points because Alex Wood made an impromptu relief appearance on Friday
