Liriano will be there, too -
Paul Lo Duca was traded midseason, and losing him was blamed for Gagne's subsequent struggles

Trading Soriano
sneakypower replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
he only managed a .270/.325/.385 MLE in AAA, and even giving him +7 between defense & baserunning keeps him at "substandard" in a full season of PA -
oh damn, we might end up with a lousy 28 year old #1 starter

i'm even more shocked that someone in bama uses the handle lsufreek

hogwash!

Love Jrue Holliday. today's episode of "The Pistons passed on that guy to draft..." is titled: "Austin Daye"
-
in '11 Davis had (by far) the lowest HR rate of his career and a LD rate right in line with his career average; that doesn't really scream "batting practice" to me it stands to reason a LH pitcher wasn't served many favors by having Ramirez, Castro, Soriano hanging out on the left side of the field pretending to play defense. Marshall had a career-worst BABIP too, though Russell wasn't quite so ill-effected (presumably because his hits all went over the fences)

Davis has been on MLB rosters for 12 seasons was he a better pitcher in '07 or '09 than he was this past season? what made him effective in those seasons and a pitching machine this year? I don't know, old age? Injuries? Davis was horrendous over 17 starts in the past 2 years? Why should I care what he did 5 seasons ago? the point is he wasn't a better pitcher, he just had better defense, basically; which is why we care about fielding independent pitching stats and focusing more on peripherals

how should a pitcher be judged?

what flaws?

Fangraphs had him listed at being worth about $2.1 million last season. If "substantial raise" means at least $3 million a year, or even $3.5, they're overpaying, but if he's holding out for an extra $500K-$1MM there probably isn't any harm in paying him that with all the money we're not spending on FA's, but he's honestly not worth that much money from a baseball standpoint. It'd be for the whole Golden Calf effect. I'm A-OK with that, but if they don't sign him it's not exactly a dumb baseball move. SCARY FACT: I know one was a starter and the other was a reliever, but Doug Davis was considered more valuable than Kerry Wood last year, and in fewer innings pitched (0.7 to 0.5). to be clear, with his leverage index, Wood's monetary value was much more in the neighborhood of $3M last year; dictating a reliever's value by WAR fails to account for the added importance of their innings pitched also, your scary fact doesn't hold true after accounting for Davis' hitting

LOLOL your argument is that a defense playing with five pro bowlers (two defensive players of the year) couldn't contain Tebow because they were without their nose tackle and Brett Keisel for some of the game http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb224/dbarsne/straws.jpg
-
yes i do believe!
-
it's hilarious that Tebow's mostly been masterful and the defense and RBs are going to blow the game for him
-
Zack Novak's the only white guard i'll ever love

...if the boot fits

ride like the wind!

oh, you probably thought that was funny to say there's a snake...in my boot
-
i don't know what offensive holding is anymore, i really don't, because you see it loud and clear on every cocksucking replay
-
Agreed. The inadvertant whistle, the bogus personal foul call, and the horrible spot have either led to points for the Saints or taken points off the board for the Lions. and i want to be pissed about it, but Pierre Thomas is like rubber to us for some buttfucking reason so it probably won't matter, ultimately

Drew Brees and his other-worldly offensive line and cache of pro-bowl skill players need all the help they can get, i guess
