  1. he'll probably cost $50M more, too i'd actually like both, though
  2. it's hard for me to think of a (3-4) prospects package i wouldn't be willing to part with, for Upton
  3. i really want to buy (relatively) low on Liriano
  4. i'm worried Rizzo will ask to be sent back to Iowa, where he was having more of a challenge
  5. good lord, Hollandsworth is just brutal in the booth
  6. Colvin's been the 4th-most productive hitter (min. 180 PA) on a per-pitch basis against fastballs this year last year, he was one of the worst hitters against fastballs (min. 200 PA) so, oddly enough, it's a lot easier to hit fastballs that don't move much at all (in Coors)
  7. in perhaps the most pointless exercise ever... Brett Jackson, with Ronald Torreyes' K-rate: .394/.482/.750 (.375 BABIP) and a full-season pace of 162 R (lol), 54 2B, 30 3B, 36 HR, 106 RBI, 68 BB, 48 K, 54 SB
  8. he goes to the same swing doctor that Ben Zobrist has; i've been intrigued by him for awhile, for no other reason than that Zobrist went from a 33 OPS+ player (SSS, i know) to a 126 OPS+ player after seeing that guy oh, and Trevor Floukke vs. RHP: .759 OPS (.285 OBP) vs. LHP: 1.225 OPS bases empty: .484 wOBA, 16 HR men on base: .242 wOBA, 3 HR he also has hit 18/19 of his HR to LF
  9. didn't LA just give up a first for Sessions? they're like Oprah, with draft picks
  10. 0.34 FIP tonight, that's more like it
  11. apparently Rizzo can do the splits edit: oh my goodness we have two Darwin Barneys playing in the field tonight
  12. Rizzo certainly did not look surprised by that pitch
  13. because you talk as if you don't?
  14. even with his epically horrific slump-to-end-all-slumps, he still has the 6th-best OPS in all of baseball vs. righties, but you probably have fingers in your ears at this point, so whatever
  15. lame and stupid throw-away one-liners? OH GOD KYLE HACKED INTO MOJOS ACCOUNT
  16. LaHair vs. RHP 2009 MLE: .275/.336/.496 (324 AB) 2010 MLE: .272/.343/.474 (313 AB) 2011 MLE: .283/.356/.543 (314 AB) 2011- 2012 MLB: .318/.398/.586 (220 AB) yeah, i'm still pretty confident he can hit RHP
  17. i guess '[expletive] weird' would have been a better description
  18. that's pretty ironic, given your frequent exaggerated hysterics and myopia over Jackson
  19. ...regression? he's hit 25% LDs and is sporting a .376 babip, and you're somehow acting like he's been touched by an angel, with BIP luck; this is Kyle-level shoddy analysis, you know you can do much better
  20. you're uncharacteristically reading far too much into a small sample size because of confirmation bias currently, the average 1B in the MLB posts a .761; a reasonable babip and hr/fb still puts him in the neighborhood of what Mike Napoli's doing now, which is league-average 1B offense but sure, look at the 1B situation for Cleveland, Miami, LA Dodgers, Seattle, Pittsburgh (they're playing Casey Mcgehee there), NY Mets and tell me with a straight face he'll wash out of the league
  21. yeah, i can't believe Paul Konerko made it, either
  22. he's 3rd amongst NL 1B in wOBA for the year, and came in 2nd in the voting; why exactly is this a travesty?
  23. re Torreyes and Polanco: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=60560&p=2757297#p2757297 his LD rate (per first inning: 11%, down from 21% in '11) has been consistently dreadful all year, and seemingly he's been as lucky in June as he was unlucky in May i consider babip to be a skill for the most part, so for a career .375 guy to have a .244 season has been a big disappointment for me
