    at the point of that discussion, his career line was .260/.323/.455 and since then, he's produced a .435 babip-fueled .389/.442/.658 line, so it's safe to say that's a harder argument to make these days with the benefit of full hindsight, you're remarkably insightful it seems

    just 77 games in, and he's already reached 6 WAR he's slugging .606 he leads all of baseball in wOBA he leads all of baseball in runs he leads all of baseball in steals (he's also missed 22 games of the season) he made this catch: oh, and he hasn't reached drinking age yet
  3. sneakypower
    Richards, Bourjos and Conger could be a possibility
  4. sneakypower
    No ...source?

    also, this is what having a great GM is like for 1.5 years of Bourn (who's 6th in the NL in fWAR), Ed Wade managed just the useless Jordan Schafer and a couple OK prospects for < .5 years of Dempster, we land Delgado (who Wade was reportedly unable to pry away for Bourn)
  6. sneakypower
    Delgado's posted a better FIP than Garza so far this year

    i just ran around the room like Jimmy V looking for somebody to hug

    How do you feel about Starlin Castro's defense? ffs, i almost put a disclaimer in my post specifying "by respectable sources", but i left it out in hopes nobody would be an idiot about it -Castro's defense right now is objectively good, and the speculation of him moving off the position is mostly centered around assumed significant body changes, like how he'll add bulk to hit more HR in the distant future -Vitters' defense right now is objectively poor; he's posting huge error totals and we've never seen or heard any indications these were a by-product of all the circus plays he makes if nobody's going to be the least bit intellectually honest about this, we should really shelve the discussion for several years down the road when people are scratching their head in total puzzlement of how Josh Vitters was never able to be a valuable contributor on a contending team

    he was maybe our best cover corner we're going to be pathetically bad on defense

    bb-ref uses DRS, which gives credit to outs made using a shift; he gets congratulated for Sveum putting him in a place where the hitter hits the ball Brett Lawrie's also been off-the-charts, in large part because John Farrell does things like this: http://thecutoffman.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/img_5007.jpg?w=555&h=370 UZR doesn't grade plays using the shift and is currently agreed to be more reflective of a player's true ability
  11. sneakypower
    oh come on, it's a little embarrassing that you guys seem to believe his glove has actually been worth 3 whole wins
  12. sneakypower
    man, the Barney pick got blasted pretty hard on here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41293&p=1358573#p1358573

    because even fringe-average guys don't have constant speculation surrounding them that they'll have to move off the position. do you ever hear any rumblings about how David Freese or David Wright are going to have to move off 3B?
  14. sneakypower
    and here i was just made aware of the fact that he's already fringe-average
  15. sneakypower
    his math is a little off for the projected division records...
  16. sneakypower
    Hanley's not much different than he was a couple of years ago, aside from an abnormally poor BABIP and that he's hitting more FB, which would be fine if he played in a more HR-friendly park, like Wrigley and he's still just 28...i'd take him in a heartbeat if the price wasn't outrageous
  17. sneakypower
    Gamel is a better hitter
  18. sneakypower
    wouldn't that be nice, for him to improve upon his league-leading UZR score amongst qualifying shortstops
  19. sneakypower
    and there's the small detail that Castro doesn't have a degenerative shoulder injury
  20. sneakypower
    saw this at fangraphs re HBP
  21. sneakypower
    i actually didn't have any problem with the ump on that play i'm not sure it's reasonable to expect him to follow the ball into his mitt, knowing he's going to snap tag the guy immediately thereafter, and get the tag call correct too he got the tag call right, and immediately reversed it when he realized he didn't have the ball
  22. sneakypower
    WOW...one strike from the win, Kenley Jansen turned his back to the plate between pitches and Everth Cabera stole home on him, and Jansen threw it away in the process, giving up the go-ahead run
  23. sneakypower
    is that bad? what does that mean, did he break it?
  24. sneakypower
    and to think, you guys were calling him slow...
  25. sneakypower
    i can't tell if you're actually being serious with this completely ludicrous statement
