Rod Allen is as good as it gets for color guys -
that's rich, this coming from the guy that cited MothaFucka Jones
-
"probably"? and small correction, he'd place worst amongst qualifiers...vitters for example actually has a worse contact rate
-
like when i pointed out his league-worst contact rate (a few hours ago)
-
Stephen J. Nesbitt @stephenjnesbitt To be clear, Fitzgerald Toussaint being listed as the starting running back right now means absolutely nothing. Don't read into it yet.
-
irrelevant, dude
-
Brett Jackson is a wash-out who can't hit. It'll take a lot to change my mind on that one. huh, i thought for sure his .263/.440/.684 week would have blown the weather vane of your tenuous opinions in the complete other direction
-
Michael Rothstein @mikerothstein Hoke said no decision has been made on Toussaint or Clark.
-
Apparently smarter than the owner that hired him. The owner fell for a guy that talked about sports (like posters) as opposed to someone who actually had experience in coaching, scouting, managing, and player development. wow, this is actually an argument that you are making.
-
one more thing: Jackson's plate discipline has been other-worldly to this point amongst qualified hitters, only Albert Callaspo and Carlos Santana have offered at fewer pitches out of the zone (full list) than his 20.6% figure, but that isn't really passivity at all, since he's swung at pitches within the zone at an extremely high rate (71.1%) no other player who has swung at less than 25% of pitches outside the strike zone has also swung at more than 70% of pitches in the zone; basically, he's doing everything right, but making contact when he swings (74.4% zone-contact, which would place worst in baseball)...an obvious caveat is SSS, but he's not being overmatched in terms of pitch recognition right now so, if his mechanics are screwed up and somewhat correctable, he can surely be a MLB-caliber player offensively to me, this is the new front office's first big litmus test in player development and i can't wait to see how it turns out
-
AMEN to that. The very fact that Zoolander there is agreeing with you logically should tell you something. a model idiot
-
jackson's zips: .247/.330/.424 (28.9% K) stubbs' zips: .239/.310/.398 (29.4% K) hilariously, right now he's virtually league average offensively (for wOBA) with 43% K's...and a 34% LD rate nothing about him makes any sense; this guy is my favorite player in baseball right now
-
hey b2b, now tell us how smart Matt Millen is

Brenly not returning for 2013 (Jim Deshaies hired pg 14)
sneakypower replied to italianocubsfan7's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i just broke out in a cold sweat from considering that possibility -
That or when the Trib/Zell finally allowed him (or even forced him) to spend money there weren't great options on the market for the long term deals. It's been put out there that the trib was more behind signing Soriano than Hendry, or at least forced him to add some years/$$. In no way am I a Hendry apologist but I think part of the awful contracts was him being forced to spend money by ownership. I always get accused of bringing Hendry's name into these discussions and being a Hendry apologist, but many of you can't seem to discuss anything without bringing up Hendry As I've pointed out many times before that the situation was completely different because ownership gave Hendry the money and told him to buy a winning team. Theo has been given complete autonomy to spend money or cut payroll as he pleases. As for bloated contracts on a underperforming team, you might look at $262 million in contracts that the Red Sox are sending to the Dodgers and guess who negotiated those deals. http://synthesis.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/emperor.jpg

he's so good, when he's not striking out
-
i don't feel sorry for them, but i can't imagine how appalled i'd be if i were a Giants fan earlier this season LA actually used a lineup of Gordon, Herrera, Rivera, Hairston Jr, Loney, Castellanos, Gwynn Jr, Treanor now it's something like Victorino/Crawford, M. Ellis, Kemp, A. Gonzalez, Ethier, Hanley, AJ Ellis, Cruz that's unfathomable THEY HAD JERRY HAIRSTON BATTING CLEANUP AND DH-ING

like this? http://espn.go.com/mlb/freeagents/_/type/dollars
-
it was strangely prophetic
-
and when we pass on guys that make sense, i'll pick up a torch and join you, but it seems like an insane thing to be outraged about, pre-emptively
-
didn't Casey Kotchman have a 2.8 fWAR last year? fwiw, Kurt Suzuki and James Loney had 2.3 fWAR seasons too last year Dempster and Marshall were good enough players, but their contract statuses sucked most of the value out of them as assets Until Theo rode in on his magic unicorn and convinced teams to pay significant value for these previously worthless pieces. Gotcha. YOO HOO, you used the term "trade rape" to describe the Marshall trade you miserable idiot

Oh, win? Just win games? Why don’t I strap on my win helmet, and squeeze into a win cannon and fire off into win land, where wins grow on winnies!
