  1. man, the Barney pick got blasted pretty hard on here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41293&p=1358573#p1358573
  2. 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?
  3. and here i was just made aware of the fact that he's already fringe-average
  4. his math is a little off for the projected division records...
  5. 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
  6. Gamel is a better hitter
  7. wouldn't that be nice, for him to improve upon his league-leading UZR score amongst qualifying shortstops
  8. and there's the small detail that Castro doesn't have a degenerative shoulder injury
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. is that bad? what does that mean, did he break it?
  12. and to think, you guys were calling him slow...
  13. i can't tell if you're actually being serious with this completely ludicrous statement
  14. what's Tyler Colvin slugging right now? (please not, i still don't like him, even a little bit)
  15. jesus, you're obnoxiously transparent have we seen anybody yet (aside from a recreational part-time self-avowed scout) who's suggested he can regularly be average at 3B? hell, Sveum just recently bashed his present defensive abilities as for the baserunning, he's widely agreed to be a slow-footed runner and his speed scores are always lacking, and his tendency to post low BABIPs despite a fairly GB-heavy batted ball profile supports this as well it's just that he has so many bad qualities to chip away at a lot of the value he gave you from his XBH's, to where he's just not that intriguing but if he's boosting his stock, i love the idea that we might be able to get some value for him in a trade now; i'm just not suffering the same Vittered Wife Syndrome some of you guys are, where i still get false hope over him
  16. He's a fringe-average defender on the good side of the defensive spectrum. you're simply not being intellectually honest if you believe that to be true
  17. only if you completely ignore fielding and baserunning altogether
  18. Jason Vargas has surrendered 17 HR in 11 road starts i'm probably going to laugh at whoever gives up valuable assets for him
  19. no Matt Szczur???
  20. That's crazy, he was a slight overdraft but not that much. Sucks for him, I have no idea what the Marlins are doing. they have to be able to afford the $27M it costs to have Heath Bell put up a 1.82 WHIP
  21. i'd imagine a hitting-streak getting to 45-50 games would be a big, big deal
  22. we're going to get 50 walks from our whole infield combined
  23. he's always hit lefties well, and he was signed to hit lefties well, and this season so far he's hit lefties well; also, everybody go take a quick gander at DeJesus' splits
