    i got what i wanted to see in that basketball game
  2. sneakypower
    .275/.332/.440 vs. .284/.332/.428 for their careers to date but i would love it if Lake knew how to use his speed like Marte does
  3. sneakypower
    i like Lake a lot better in LF, where you can be a huge asset defensively on athleticism alone, whereas in CF i think instincts and reps play a much bigger role also, re platooning Olt to start, he's shown a pretty sizable split (790 OPS vs. 960) at the upper levels, so it's not the worst thing to ease his shoulder along and allow him to force the issue for more PA
  4. sneakypower
    John Baker had the lowest ISO in baseball the last two seasons (min 250 PA): .034! pretty astounding; Ben Revere was .048, and Theriot .051
  5. sneakypower
    is it just the middle infielder thing? because that aside, i'd actually really hope we'll be able to do a whole lot better when we're inevitably stuck trying to trade some of our fringe top-100 prospects (like Travis) than 2 guys who just combined for 1100 semi-sheltered PA and less than 2 WAR: potential non-tender candidates

    then we'll have to clear $15M in the budget if we want to re-sign him
  8. sneakypower
    we're going to lose 85+ games again this year regardless, so if i'm to watch the games, i'd stylistically much prefer not to do that in a fashion where we regularly struggle to score 2 runs, and jettisoning Barney (from a starting role) helps accomplish that also one small advantage to punting on a season is the freedom you're allowed to play guys with performance uncertainty to help determine if they might be considered future contributors in meaningful seasons giving Barney 600 PA this year serves no productive purpose
  9. sneakypower
    I would say Rizzo in the 3-hole, but with the lack of power in the lineup I'd assume that they'd want him to be their main cleanup guy. I don't think they worry about things like "main cleanup guy". they probably should, numerous lineup studies have suggested that's the 2nd most important spot in the lineup for run production, behind #2

    according to BP, for the last two seasons: Kottaras is -44 extra strikes (4700 framing chances), and Baker is +4 extra strikes (3900 chances), which amounts to about a 5-6 run total difference The math checks out. Carry on, Theo. well, they do have Kottaras being substantially better at blocking WP & PB than Baker, with a 6-7 run difference there the other way edit, for those interested: Baker Kottaras

    daddy likey
  16. sneakypower
    Err...I've done this before, but you're not supposed to trade the same pick to more than one team. this was changed to an MiLB 3rd rounder, going to The Process Alamo Stealth still gets Cucamonga Crack Killers' (MLB) 9th rounder in 2015
  17. sneakypower

    every first rounder, including both comp rounds are all in the DB viewtopic.php?f=24&t=62146&p=2960420#p2960420 it'd seem to make the most sense for guys not in the system by the start of the season just get put off til next year's draft
