Scouting via play by play data. ok then, how many runs was Soriano's arm worth in '07?
-
it really looks like Kelly, Rizzo (and Fuentes) and $160M for Adrian Gonzalez's 28-35 seasons is going to look like a steal when Pujols and Fielder end up signing -
Idea for a new way to evaluate players
sneakypower replied to CubinNY's topic in General Baseball Talk
...we do? and we gave over 1000 PA to DeWitt, Colvin, Baker, Hill, LaHair, Montanez and LeMahieu, who are all a pretty fair example of replacement player at this stage in their careers -
Didn't realize Podlesh had been THAT good...wow their net yardage on punts is middle of the pack, but the Bears are significantly rewarded in those rankings because of perceived weather factors
-
pitching + batting

Cashner has oodles more upside. Wells wasn't just hurt, he was bad. You tried to gloss over this by splitting out August, but it doesn't wash. He sucked in June, July and September, and his brief flirt with decency in August was fueled by a .181 BABIP. I see no reason to go to any lengths to hold open a rotation spot for a 29-year-old who sucked last year. If we get to mid-March and no one has particularly stepped forward or we have some injuries, then he's fine for plugging into a hole. oodles more upside than a pitcher just one year removed from two straight 3.5-win seasons? you've really got high hopes for a guy who's never topped 100 IP in any year of professional baseball and is currently getting battered in the AFL
-
so...immediately after sensationalizing Wells' injury concerns you suggest we give Cashner a crack at the 5th starter spot
-
because he had an arm injury you fool the two years before that? both 3-win seasons basically for free wonder if we'd have any use for that
-
did Randy Wells die? His arm kinda did. his arm looked fine in august
-
did Randy Wells die?
-
if it makes you feel any better, Jonah Keri bashes Loria and Samson about that for a good part of a chapter in The Extra 2%
-
yes, we know
-
UZR has Vlad's arm being worth a full win in '02 that's unfathomable
-
re Zook
-
Antwan Barnes, Donald Butler (Tommie Harris too, albeit situationally)
-
Grady Sizemore, anyone?

i'd put Soriano at first to preserve his legs -

Misc. Free Agent News

oh man, i'd be all about Hong-Chih Kuo and Andrew Miller -
don't be asinine, Starks has induced missed tackles at an elite rate, even better than Adrian Peterson he's definitely an above-average RB
-
um...

Shaun Phillips is supposed to come back this week. isnt McNeil out? this could be a 13-9 type of game Brandyn Dombrowski allowed 4 sacks and another 10 pressures, mostly to Kamerion Wimbley, last week and had a similarly nightmarish day against Chris Clemons last season (2 sacks, 16 pressures) when forced into duty if McNeill is out, the Chargers probably haven't a prayer of beating a team with a competent pass rush
-
and chop blocks, too like i said, i didn't see those plays but i have a suspicion you may be quibbling a bit on the descriptions, considering a brief regrettable foray into the Bears game threads each week brings up countless sulleymon calls for fouls not being called (against only the opponent) the impartial third party observers in this thread can rightly act as the voice of reason on these plays
-
then every sack is an attempt to injure! the Fairley play was way late, and the one dirty play i've seen from the game on our part, but attempt to injure seems like a major stretch
-
I watch them all the time and enjoy teasing a friend of mine who is all self conscious about how the league treats the Steelers. Even they aren't anywhere near as dirty as the Lions have shown to be. "So it's going to turn into if you're going to fine me $40,000, I might as well put him to sleep for real or I might as well blow his knee out." - Ryan Clark i'd pull up a bunch of James Harrison quotes too if i thought you might be capable of reasoning with on this matter really, where were these absurd histrionics when Meriweather ran across the field to spear Burleson in the helmet after the play during the first meeting?
-
I watch a lot of Steelers games. For whatever reason, they get scheduled out here all the time. But I don't see the cheap plays/players with them at the level I see with Detroit. Sure, everyone hates Ben the Rapist, but that's really about it. and as far as cheap shots, you didn't see Suh rip Cutlers helmet off? Or Fatty Matty tackle Moore by the helmet? Why do in-game skirmishes follow this team everywhere? I'm sure its JUST coincidence, right? we've had one this year, yesterday Suh's tackle of Cutler by the head was nearly identical to the Peppers tackle on Calvin, i could have seen a PF flag coming out for both, but they were more pace of the game than intent
