    he has a career .818 OPS/120 wRC+ vs. LHP, so i assume that would have been the primary attraction in his services at this point
  2. sneakypower
    yes, like when a player is playing with an injury, for example which Gutierrez was doing "After years of battling health problems including irritable bowel syndrome, a concussion, pain in his throwing arm and now issues with his legs and hips – stemming from a recently discovered genetic disorder that causes inflammation in his joints – it is unclear if Gutierrez will ever be fully healthy."

    in 2009, Gutierrez was the best CF in the history of UZR; he was awesome in 2011 also, but has had just 450 innings of statistically poor CF play in the two seasons since
  4. sneakypower
    awesome
  5. sneakypower
    he had an 0-42 stretch this past season, nearly avoiding the all-time record of 46 consecutive hitless AB, set by Eugenio Velez

    best Ruggiano moment http://i.imgur.com/tHg2vPc.png .250/.331/.424 - 3.5(!) WAR

    Dan Szymborski ‏@DSzymborski 3 Dec ZiPS WAR projection for Choo: 3.0, 2.8, 2.5, 2.0, 1.4, 0.7 Dan Szymborski ‏@DSzymborski 3 Dec ZiPS only has Choo a 3.0 WAR player in 2014 and Steamer's got him at the same figure, so it's not a ZiPS outlier or anything. if i'm interpreting his other tweets right, that basically gives him 6/66 valuation

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/organizational-rankings-6-seattle/ he got mercilessly ridiculed for it for a while

    Eaton & Skaggs for Trumbo; un-[expletive]-believable

    it's one of, like, three things i'm looking forward to this season
  12. sneakypower
    theoretically, 3-3-5 is the best bet at stopping the spread
  13. sneakypower
    No one's suggesting to pay 10 million plus a decent prospect(or more) for Villanueva or Baker either. we'll want to spend money on something, won't we? the remaining dregs of bargain bin SP free agents is just complete gross dog [expletive], so what else is there to even bother with now? playing it safe and only investing in players who are undeniable bargains hasn't really proven to be a super effective strategy; let me remind you 250 AB of Craig Gentry would have led our team in WAR...pretty sickening
  14. sneakypower
    significantly better than Scott Baker/Carlos Villanueva's chances, i'd wager i guess now would be a good time to go back and look at everyone's declarations last year that Scott Kazmir was toast and not worth bothering with an MLB deal
  15. sneakypower
    well, playing Ladarius Green over Charles Clay turned out to be a bit of a mistake
  16. sneakypower
    i'd do Vogelbach or Candelario; Anderson has more upside as a pitcher than probably anybody else on our roster come opening day and he's still just 25 obviously this comes with the caveat of whether his medicals make you recoil with horror, but if right he can certainly be a poor-man's David Price at a tiny fraction of player cost if you're going to concede contention for one more year, i'd seriously prefer taking gambles with the actual possibility of hitting big and adding another player to your core via extension (or at the very least getting the comp picks); this is why i'm still despondent about losing out on Chris Young, and Liriano last year
  17. sneakypower
    i'd give up nearly any non-top-5 guy as the main piece for Brett Anderson- whatever it takes, really we already blew it pretty bad on Chris Young and (maybe) Bourjos and a couple others lesser so, getting trumped on Anderson would be yet another annoying miss
  18. sneakypower
    Q4 rushing yards: Eagles - 227, Lions - 0 yeah, that's not good
  19. sneakypower
    whoever just said Calvin looks like the Bumble is my new favorite broadcaster
  20. sneakypower
    omg this snow is ridiculous; we're so boned
  21. sneakypower
    big break for Mizzou there
  22. sneakypower
    I can't step away for a second. Am I wrong, or is that a lot for Granderson? No, I think that's pretty fair. before last year he had 84 HR in 2 seasons; it seems low to me and i'd really have loved to have him on those terms
  23. sneakypower
    fwiw, Ellsbury's non-HR hits at Fenway with Yankee Stadium overlay (light-blue=2B, dark-blue=3B) http://i.imgur.com/xJ2rVKk.png with Wrigley overlay: http://i.imgur.com/OvWFEGM.png
  24. sneakypower
    No. Because football stats are not nearly as reliable as a they are in a 1 on 1 sport like baseball, where your teammates and coaching decision making don't really matter. i mostly agree with that, but it seems perfectly reasonable to try to make comparisons between two guys at the same position who have been playing with the same exact coaching and offensive personnel
  25. sneakypower
    weird, then why don't they just throw constant jump balls to whomever of Marshall/Jeffrey/M.Bennett's being singled? you don't need any arm to do that
