    similarly, i like seeing the HRs lately from Villanueva, but 0:15 in his last 10 games is pretty grotesque
  2. sneakypower
    YUP i can go back to complete NBA apathy for the foreseeable future again
  3. sneakypower
    i sure hope not

    every 3B coach is going to send him there; it's the only chance he'll have of scoring, with Feldman due up next

    3/15, cut a check, Tom

    Aramis homers against us for hit 2,000 i'm ok with this.

    Yet another example of Vogelbach doing plenty of stuff right, but then you look at the total production and think "is that all?" like the career .902 OPS?
  8. sneakypower
    and that's why you always leave a note!

    hey, we finally got him to make changes to actually fill out his lineup, so i'd consider that a win in the grand scheme of things

    best-case is probably a RH Denard Span, which is an intriguing enough possibility to keep me interested in his development
  11. sneakypower
    hahahaha, "you have got to be KIDDING ME, we'll go to the bottom of the 9th"

    i highly doubt there's been any talk of replacing Dirks Avisail Garcia strikes me as kind of a RF version of Castro; he makes good contact, but his peripherals are always kind of crappy and you don't really know when or if the power will come, and defense isn't really a strength either i doubt this FO likes him a whole lot

    goodnight sweet prince http://cdn1.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/6715423/20120420_jel_sl8_034.0_standard_352.0.jpg

    bullpen banter released a midseason update too Almora, Soler, Baez & Bryant came in at 16, 18, 19 & 26, respectively

    i won't be able to bring myself to care until we've rid ourselves of the burden of that awful Castro contract
  17. sneakypower
    not sure which shot was more impressive, the one he hit left-handed, or the one where he evaporates into air right after making
  18. sneakypower
    I know that Jordan and Winn were pretty solid pros who had good careers, but I personally see the best-case scenario for Soler and Almora to be better than that... Not sure who I would compare them to, but I just think that is a pessimistic best-case Brian Jordan (31 bWAR during his 8-year peak) and Randy Winn (25 bWAR during his 7-year peak) were pretty awesome; if Soler slugs better than .475 for a decade and Almora tops 13 years with a .284 career BA i'll be on cloud nine

    my tiered top-30 top group is listed comparables for best-case / likely / worst-case career arcs for a player, making the assumption they continue development through to the bigs; i guess best-case & worst-case can be thought of as 20th/80th-percentile forecasts, should they see MLB time it's really just an exercise that helps me decide how i feel about a player 1) soler: brian jordan / rondell white / juan encarnacion 2) almora: randy winn / marlon byrd / luis matos 3) baez: adrian beltre / jose hernandez / dale sveum 4) bryant: troy glaus / pat burrell / chad hermansen 5) alcantara: ray durham / felipe lopez / mariano duncan 6) p johnson 7) vizcaino 8) candelario 9) vogelbach 10) hendricks 11) torreyes 12) villanueva 13) watkins 14) lake 15) paniagua 16) szczur 17) w contreras 18) blackburn 19) j-h ha 20) b jackson 21) vitters 22) hannemann 23) amaya 24) underwood 25) rosscup 26) maples 27) a rivero 28) mcnutt 29) zastryzny 30) a cabrera

    he's in the top 10 for IFFBs, so xFIP isn't exactly the best judge factoring in hitting, he's at 2.4 fWAR & 3.2 bWAR right now
  21. sneakypower
    probably worth noting, that even using FIP, Wood leads the team in WAR
  22. sneakypower
    Tigers fans are weirdly fixated on the closing situation; (sports radio host) Mike Valenti was talking the other day about approaching Philly or New York about Porcello for Papelbon/Parnell swaps it's idiotic though, just bring up Rondon & Albuquerque, close with Benoit & they'll surely still win the division by double-digit games and in the playoffs you can just let Scherzer or Anibal close out games
  23. sneakypower
    doesnt he have like 1 hit in his last 10 6 games? a grand slam those other AB weren't worth the trouble
  24. sneakypower
    http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2011/3/1/2020683/statistical-head-scratchers-the-hit-tool i'd think of Votto, for example, having a 75 or whatever hit tool despite relatively high K rates
  25. sneakypower
    first 37 G: .243/.275/.459 (.300 babip), 3.1% BB: 28.8% K last 27 G: .320/.418/.660 (.321 babip), 9.8% BB: 14.8% K look at those BB:K rates...can we get some one-on-one time with Mariano Duncan and Castro?
