Tom Harmon to Desmond Howard, just like the good ole days!

[expletive] awesome
-
fangraphs has higher threshold for replacement level, i think (but there had been talk about standardizing this); his (ERA-based) RA9-WAR is 5.4, good for 5th in baseball i'm not crazy about prioritizing FIP over ERA for pitchers, unless you're trying to better account for a spectacularly shitty/fantastic defensive team; i just think it's foolish to completely dismiss the skill of missing barrels

David Wilson

Pedro over The Rocket, or even Boggs, seems a little crazy to me

yeah, score one for Keith Law, i guess -
thanks everybody for making me even happier to live in MI
-
Lake's current line: .301/.344/.448
-
also he's induced more swinging strikes than Edwin Jackson or Garza, if you can believe it
-
if that's the case i'll take Bluiett

Minor League Playoffs Discussion & Boxes 9-5-13

Alcantara is so weird to me; i understand batting eye taking a little time to develop, but in A-ball he played like he didn't possess any tools at all either just two years ago: 19 2B, 5 HR & 15 SB in 160 games at A & A- now he's on pace for 43/18/37 at AA and getting Reyes/Rollins comps -
for some sick, twisted reason i actually look forward to Rusin starts now i threw this in the game thread his last start, but the point remains; we might actually have something here Rusin 2.64 ERA / 3.82 FIP / 4.19 xFIP .281 BABIP, 47% GB, 8.9% HR:FB 8.8% swinging Strikes Wood 3.09 ERA / 3.83 FIP / 4.45 xFIP .238 BABIP, 33% GB, 7.4% HR:FB 7.4% swinging strikes full stats

neither have announcers', it seems; Collinsworth somehow thinks 18 points is a 2-score game
-
just how they drew it up!
-
Alford will just hire his HS coach
-
oopsy daisy!
-
he has the same K rate as Trevor Bauer; good lord how did that happen
-
top-8

i've cooled on Hughes after realizing how badly his stuff has diminished- i'd previously thought he was being unusually victimized by his home park (still true, to an extent), but he's probably just very hittable now Josh Johnson with a Carpenter-esque 1y/$5m + $20m team bonus or Lincecum on Liriano's original terms ...seem like better value bets to me

some unfounded dumb predictions Calvin Johnson Shady McCoy wins OPOY Geno Atkins Richard Sherman wins DPOY Cutler wins MVP one of Bennie Cunningham/DaRel Scott/Bobby Rainey runs for 1000 yds Joique Bell leads the Lions in rushing Texans Broncos over Saints Bears
-
i'll just ask, why would you own Sudfeld or Ike Redman if you're not going to start them in week 1?
-
Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan did one of those the other day too http://sports.yahoo.com/news/yahoo-sports--all-minor-league-team-053042995.html but maybe the most interesting part, to me: those are basically all legit prospects he's being lumped in with
-
i'm suddenly reminded of the times you talked about your wishes to improve the levels of internet baseball discourse or whatever
-
no, that's just how he's played so far; he has adjustments to make of course, and any trajectory between Lee & Adrian Gonzalez is conceivable the sad thing is, Travis Lee today would still be putting up a bunch of 2-win seasons
