    And plays sub-average defense. as evidenced by his plus ratings via UZR, TZ, DRS...really every advanced fielding metric (you're coming off as an ignorant, pompous ass right now) UZR has him at -3.4 fielding runs for his career, Baseball-Reference has him at -0.3 dWAR for his career. I guess Baseball Prospectus does have him as 0.1 FRAA for his career. fitting, that you've clearly you've had your fingers in your ears, shouting, the numerous times it was explained that his fielding WAR had been greatly hampered from playing out of position in 08 & 09

    Ray. I [expletive] hate Ian. Me too. WHAT [expletive] IAN GUY

    unlike the other cheap available options, he surely has the potential for more today's moves make me wonder why Theo hasn't dismissed Wilken; three recent very high picks of his he's let go without pause

    wow, career 11.3 k/9 and 6.1 h/9 for Weathers (and 7.1 bb/9) so, another Marmol!

    the vast majority of the people on this board would have hated all of those signings except cj wilson. a reliever for 27 mil? jose reyes for over 100? pujols for 254? buerhle for almost 60? stop your whining, those are bad contracts. if we'd had a big SS need, i'd probably have liked Reyes' signing quite a bit

    so, the Angels - who plays? 1B: pujols OF: wells - trout - hunter DH: trumbo, abreu i really wonder if they'd part with Bourjos somehow; i'd for sure kick the tires, if that was a possibility

    how i handicapped it, back in February (page 18): so i overstated Boston and NYY's chances, but i hit big on possibility of LAA and MIA edit: hey, another prescient prophecy (April '10): except it was like four guys, i guess

    and he won't be wrong to do so. fukudome at -11 and dejesus at +14 per 150 games in right field is a joke. prior to last year, DeJesus averaged +10 the previous six seasons per TZ yeah, there's a weird, odd, gaping disparity between UZR and TZ for Fukudome, but DeJesus should legitimately be regarded as a very strong fielder

    as far as I'm concerned, Aaron Rodgers can be the QB for the Packers as long as he likes!

    lol, Dunn underperformed his salary by $25M (!) last season

    IT'S HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN

    I don't follow. Headley has a .735 career OPS @ .339 BABIP, correct? Yes, and with that production he's been a 2 win player. better than that, actually like i said before, he was a complete disaster in LF; assuming no Kouzmanoff and he had just played 3B exclusively, with even just average defense (he's a career +7.8 UZR/150 there), these would be his win totals the last four seasons 2.0 (91 games played) 2.9 4.9 2.7 (113 games played) so, in 3.25 seasons worth of games, he'd have totaled 12.5 WAR (3.85 per full season) he's pretty good

    mysteriously, you're ignoring the effect of Petco's HR suppression on his OPS too on another note, Headley's like Stewart in that his WAR was significantly hindered from playing out of position for so much time in 08-09 it's a really easy argument to make that his floor is a 3-win player right now
  23. sneakypower
    he had a .371 babip his last three years in the minors
  24. sneakypower
    hey guys i corrected Joey Votto's anomalous babip and hr/fb rates to average and learned that he actually should have a .730 ops
  25. sneakypower
    YOU'RE ACTUALLY SAYING "hmm, that road avg. doesn't look quite right, let's arbitrarily just take away 15% of his hits"
