    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
  5. sneakypower
    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)

    Hendry really [expletive] sucked trib was ok toward the end Theo/Jed kinda suck #ptr really [expletive] sucks new argument
  9. sneakypower
    13 HRs and 9 BBs, and he's 5'8...impressive
  10. sneakypower
    but now i have a dream of watching a 40 HR, 95-hit season
  11. sneakypower
    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"
  12. sneakypower
    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
  14. sneakypower
    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
  15. sneakypower
    so what, he'll lose a year, come back in the middle of his age-22 season and be awesome again
  16. sneakypower
    so, i decided to spot-start Lyons today in fantasy...
  17. sneakypower
    if you do this for just the past month... Castro - 3.7 Rizzo - 5.2 Bonifacio - 0.0
  18. sneakypower
    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
  19. sneakypower
    if somebody wants, they can dock my team 5 points because Alex Wood made an impromptu relief appearance on Friday

    You'd inject heroin into your forehead too if you just found out Johnny Manziel was throwing to you Yeah the guy who threw 7,820 yards at a 68.9% completion rate. What a bum. their previous starter threw 9,260 yards at a 69.5% completion rate
  22. sneakypower
    it's pretty insulting to Carlos Gomez to compare him to Carlos Gonzalez
  23. sneakypower
    wow, did not realize Tseng was younger than Kohl Stewart he's the youngest P in the MWL, and is 4th in FIP (behind a trio of guys 3 years older)
  24. sneakypower
    i had just assumed his nasty ERA was the result of repeated Vitters [expletive] ups
  25. sneakypower
    let's play another round of arbitrary endpoints! last 29 games .324/.440/.549 (.346 babip) 162 G pace: 118 R, 34 HR, 90 RBI, 123 BB : 107 K
