    a former top-25 prospect! (a few spots behind Matt Clement)
  2. sneakypower
    poor Rizzo
  3. sneakypower
    That will be difficult with 3 quality long term pieces on the major league team and nothing in the farm system. Jose Dariel Abreu?

    just move him to 2B when Baez comes up and let him worry more about hitting again i don't trade (or package) him unless Stanton or Price are coming back

    http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/post?id=7439 Uh....yes please at that price. using FGs 20-80 Sabr Scale, that puts him in the neighborhood of: .313/.375?/.555, +1.7 UZR, -3 BSR which is a 4-win 1B; either the execs/scouts are being too kind with those grades, or bidding is going to greatly dwarf 6/54

    either way, Starlin can thank Rizzo for that one

    i feel a little more at peace with the universe now than after truffle's bullshit win

    Castillo did a good job receiving that strike 3 to Votto, where earlier in the season he would have swatted at it like an idiot; i'm starting to warm up to him more
  13. sneakypower
    Astros lineup today doesn't have a single .250 hitter in it so basically i'm saying there should be an asterisk on this one if he finishes the job

    i imagine the ignominy of rostering Marco Estrada and John Buck is its own penalty

    penalty for this is a person having their commish powers stripped and we all start using street rules where we call your own fouls

    The Starling Marte Method for Overcoming Horrific Plate Discipline to be an Actual Worthwhile Baseball Player 1. have a high BABIP - Lake has an MLB xBABIP of .335* at the moment and he put up a .347 figure for 2011-13 MiLB seasons (and look at those speed scores!) 2. play awesome defense - +23.4 UZR/150 in an admittedly miniscule sample (15 G in left), and we know the tools could support it: he might have the best arm amongst LF 3. destroy the occasional meatball - 13.3% HR/FB for Lake vs. 12.4% for his hacktastic ideal at the MLB level 4. run the bases like a champ - stole 38/44 two years ago, but yeah, this could use some work *should be a skosh higher, doesn't factor bunts for whatever reason

    i had Rosscup @25 & Szczur @16 two months ago, but i guess in seeing the relative ease with which you can just grab an OF like Sweeney, Bogusevic, Gillespie off the street who won't make a complete ass of themselves in sheltered ABs, the appeal of a 5th OF-type has diminished some for me since then i'd probably have those two mostly reversed in a revision
  18. sneakypower
    oh [expletive] i guess i made that kind of confusing just one of them
  19. sneakypower
    my '14 roster best guess (FA in bold) Lake/Ellsbury/Schierholtz (Sweeney, Chris Young, Sappelt) - trade DeJesus Olt/Castro/Barney/Rizzo (Valbuena, Watkins) Castillo (Navarro) Samardzija/Jackson/Wood/(Phil Hughes/Lincecum)/Arrieta (Villanueva, Rusin [Travis Wood 2.0?], Hendricks, Grimm, Baker, Cabrera as insurance) Strop/Russell/Parker/Cabrera/Lim/Villanueva AAA: Scott Baker, Grimm, Rusin, Joey Devine, Sanchez, Rosscup, Rondon plenty of insurance to provide for possibility of Olt/Lake flameouts, but both players should contribute enough defense to allow more patience in seeing what the bat can do than you'd otherwise want to allow

    Ellsbury #1
  21. sneakypower
    Darin Ruf (just the way your mother likes it)
  22. sneakypower
    looks like you missed your chance at Jake Odorizzi and Eddie Butler nm Butler was dropped, it's your lucky day
  23. sneakypower
    who is this [expletive] guy
  24. sneakypower
    were he hitting up to his career norms (.276) on BIP, he'd have a line approaching .254/.298/.376, or a .295 wOBA ...which still puts him firmly bottom-5 amongst qualifying 2B
