    why is it so easy to love you, Starlin?
  6. sneakypower
    Sarah Wood!

    i've heard somebody (Goldstein? Badler?) cite Carlos Pena as Rizzo's downside
  8. sneakypower
    huh. did not know Bass went to Trenton HS
  9. sneakypower
    Castro has 1 BB and 29 K in his past 41 G (176 PA) still hitting .306/.307/.447 for that stretch, though; he really does have an other-worldly hit tool
  10. sneakypower
    he has the 2nd-most XBH on the team, which is actually a little bit sad
  11. sneakypower
    saves is probably the only stat that influences a manager's decisions, but holds tells you almost absolutely nothing i voted holds
  12. sneakypower
    Cashner reached 102 in the Mather AB
  13. sneakypower
    fwiw, Marco Hernandez before his demotion (17 G): .328/.349/.466 (.383 babip), 3:11 bb/k
  14. sneakypower
    man, i really miss Tyler Colvin's .204 OBP
  15. sneakypower
    ...well, unless they're the only data point to refute a team's class ranking as top-10 but they're actually aware of the existence of Zak Irvin, so that gives them the edge over Scout in my book

    you're still committing to spend that money can we really pair that with any meaningful signings on the offensive side?
  17. sneakypower
    i'd be pretty amazed if we had more than $180M in the budget available to spend in just one offseason
  18. sneakypower
    we're seeing that you can have Halladay, Hamels and Cliff Lee and go sub-.500 through 45 games if your offense is bad enough if we blow all our money on Hamels this offseason, we're likely to be in that situation for next season

    last year Scioscia said Trumbo should be considered for MVP, they weren't going to trade him for Marmol and his bucketful of blown saves
  20. sneakypower
    edit: was way late on this one

    Updated 2013 ESPN rankings: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2013/order/true 38) PF Marc Loving OSU 39) PG Derrick Walton Michigan 60) SG Stanford Robinson Indiana 61) SG Zak Irvin Michigan 64) SG/SF Kendall Stephens Purdue 65) C Mark Donnal Michigan 66) SF VJ Beachem Notre Dame 70) PG/SG Bryson Scott Purdue 76) PG Bronson Koenig Wisconsin 82) SG Malcolm Hill Illinois 90) SF Brandon Austin Penn St 92) PF Luke Fischer Indiana now that's more like it

    per bb-ref (Sean Smith's TotalZone), Castro (+8) has been the best fielding SS in the NL this year and 3rd-most productive fielder at any position in the NL (Barney at +9 is 2nd); last year Castro was the worst fielding SS in the NL under the same system, and 3rd-least productive at any position for the league just thought i'd throw that out there
  23. sneakypower
    honest to god, i was all about OBP as a kid playing this game: http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/misc-games/3214-1.jpg and loading up the Cubs with all the guys with the gaudiest stats
  24. sneakypower
    Cespedes, after the first week of the season .238/.286/.345

    What the hell is wrong with writing about what happens in sport? Is everybody just supposed to shut up and not write or say anything until the 100-game point? There's nothing dumb about writing about what happens over the first month of the season. It's dumb to make assumptions that those things will hold steady the rest of the year, but that's not what he's complaining about. that is what he's complaining about, the entire rest of the article lampoons the stupid inferences writers make from the first few weeks of baseball results
