    because you talk as if you don't?
  2. sneakypower
    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
  3. sneakypower
    lame and stupid throw-away one-liners? OH GOD KYLE HACKED INTO MOJOS ACCOUNT
  4. sneakypower
    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
  5. sneakypower
    i guess '[expletive] weird' would have been a better description
  6. sneakypower
    that's pretty ironic, given your frequent exaggerated hysterics and myopia over Jackson
  7. sneakypower
    ...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
  8. sneakypower
    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
  9. sneakypower
    yeah, i can't believe Paul Konerko made it, either
  10. sneakypower
    he's 3rd amongst NL 1B in wOBA for the year, and came in 2nd in the voting; why exactly is this a travesty?
  11. sneakypower
    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
  12. sneakypower
    17 walks this season after a career best, 22 last year in 170 more PAs. same BB rate* as he had in AA, and about a quarter of his isoD is HBP's his patience is still dreadful *this is the same BB rate that (notorious-hacker-with-a-pretty-swing) Gordon Beckham's posting right now, too
  13. sneakypower
    he's posted just 1.7 fWAR in his last 39 starts; he's probably not any good anymore
  14. sneakypower
    Scott Moore at 2B made me laugh
  15. sneakypower
    6 no-hit innings so far, 9 K we've made a huge mistake
  16. sneakypower
    just? he's been trying to get fired for a pretty long while now
  17. sneakypower
    You could've made almost this exact same case you're trying to make for Micah Hoffpauir. Hoffpauir through 302 PA: .787 OPS, small platoon split LaHair through 301 PA: .890 OPS, huge platoon split sure, i guess he could still wash out, but the argument that you can definitively make sweeping judgments of a player based on only a month's worth of at-bats is just so patently absurd
  18. sneakypower
    i guess i should have more painstakingly vetted the specific verbiage i had put for that, so as to (hopefully) avoid your tiresome semantical-quibbling fixation

    2009 - completely destroys RHP in the PCL: not representative 2010 - completely destroys RHP in the PCL: not representative 2011 - completely destroys RHP in the PCL/MLB: not representative April - Mid-May 2012 - completely destroys RHP in the MLB: not representative Mid-May - June 2012 - doesn't completely destroy RHP in the MLB: YUP THIS IS WHO HE IS edited for gooney-proofing
  20. sneakypower
    point conceded. it really is unfortunate that the Cubs just signed this guy out of the local Benihana and that we don't have any record of his performance in any type of professional baseball the past several years with which we could have some idea about his abilities
  21. sneakypower
    you're arbitrarily shrinking the sample size and making specious inferences other frauds/flash-in-the-pans Paul Konerko: thru May 27 - 1.157 OPS since - .572 Rafael Furcal: thru May 13 - .965 OPS since - .533 OPS Chris Young: thru May 22 - 1.055 OPS since - .516 OPS Kelly Johnson: thru May 8 - .855 OPS since - .579 OPS JJ Hardy: thru May 16 - .807 OPS since - .546 OPS there's actually many more examples i can cite if you'd like, and LaHair's OPS is actually considerably better during the 'crashing-to-earth' phase he's apparently going through
  22. sneakypower
    the Dodgers are getting a .649 OPS out of their 1B this year Lahair's posted an .890 OPS with the Cubs, including a .980 OPS vs. RHP (.475 vs. LHP) he's unquestionably a significant upgrade for them, provided they do their best to never let him face a single lefty
  23. sneakypower
    it's called ".374 babip", and he had a 4.4 fWAR two years ago in 3/4 of a season he "figured it out" at age 30, just like JR Towles is going to do
  24. sneakypower
    oh good, now we can trade Dempster with a clear conscience
