    GRB poster: "Goold tweeted taht Holliday is out of the game because of his hand. I really hate Beltre. That was a cheap, awful play. It's essentially interference, since he didn't have the ball and he impeded the runner's ability to get to the bag." ...whereas Holliday's takeout slide earlier was clean, good baseball!

    I'm having trouble seeing that. Maybe he can reach that as the upside, but he's only hit 3.5+ WAR twice in his career. I don't see him being a good bet to do that as he gets past 30. i guess it depends how you project his defense; '07 & '08 were weighed down by him being new to the position at 2B, holding him back from that threshold, but turning just 30 next year, he should still retain athleticism to keep him at least average, which he's been the past three seasons the fans projection on FG with 150 G, .276/.351/.449 and neutral fielding puts him at 3.7 wins, all of which seem reasonable he was victimized by a low babip (before the trade) this year which greatly depressed his value, and why you can probably buy low on him

    he still projects pretty well to be something like a 3.5-4 win player; if he doesn't get much attention he could be a great value i like Barney for his cost, but he might be even more useful as a trade piece (my point becomes, i'd prefer Liriano, KJ, rookie RP than Barney, Marmol and an extra $8-10M, if the dichotomy exists) what this team needs most is talent if you have the opportunity sign KJ for something like 2/18M + 6M player option, you take it and be better off

    and the year before for Johnson?
  14. sneakypower
    did u sex him I let a lot of these comments go in the Theo thread. But I think it's time to reign this kind of comment back in. Thanks! http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/pez187b/content_mutombowag.jpg

    A big part of passer rating is YPA. Yards per attempt obviously goes up if you complete 10-19 yard passes. I think YPA has more of an effect on QB rating than completion % actually. true, completion% alone would have made more sense to illustrate the point, that he's against type in that respect Brady (0-9 yds): 73.2% (10-19 yds): 62.3% Brees (0-9 yds): 75.5% (10-19 yds): 59.0% Rodgers (0-9 yds): 80.2% (10-19 yds): 64.4% Cutler (0-9 yds): 60.5% (10-19 yds): 66.0%

    he does love gambling on rebounds from injury risks Smoltz Baldelli Jenks Cameron Bedard/Harden Hermida not a great track record with those but most were, i thought, good acquisitions; i'm similarly very intrigued by Sizemore
  17. sneakypower
    PFF had an interesting observation about Cutler on passes in the air 10-19 yards, he's had a QB rating of 127.8 (53 passes) on passes in the air 0-9 yards, he's had a QB rating of 75.7 (114 passes) he's actually been more accurate (completion %) on passes of 10-19 yards, which obviously goes against type for QBs

    i'd love to try robbing Minnesota of Liriano* for something like Barney and Marmol yeah, it'd be a pretty uneven proposal, but they love Barney types (Punto) and proven closers over there and their pitch-to-contact conversion didn't work out too well with Liriano *if his shoulder checks out

    who is this crazy guy here
  20. sneakypower
    Barney's wOBA this season was better than Hill's for both this season and last season

    why? Why to what, exactly? Z will make 18 million next year and likely provide about 8-10 million in value. If you eat 8-10 million, you can replace him at market value with that money. You might value him a little higher because of the potential comp picks, but by the same token I'm pretty confident we could find similar production at a little less than market value with the front office currently in place. I wouldn't quibble about the exact number, and that number is an "up to x million" number, not what I think it would require to get rid of him. But for the purpose of the thought exercise, that's what I would be okay with paying to get Zambrano and his contract off the roster. 8-10 seems a little low, to be honest in the worst season of his career, factoring offense, he still amassed 1.9 WAR (worth $8.4M) in just 24 starts (145 IP)

    LaHair vs. RHP: 2010: 354 PA, .339/.421/.616 2009: 373 PA, .312/.386/.592 2008: 277 PA, .285/.383/.527 2007: 450 PA, .303/.360/.477 2006: 197 PA, .326/.391/.489 2006: 171 PA, .353/.421/.575 total: .316/.390/.546 vs. LHP: 2010: 116 PA, .222/.276/.370 2009: 150 PA, .221/.273/.350 2008: 83 PA, .200/.277/.280 2007: 151 PA, .187/.252/.281 2006: 53 PA, .159/.302/.182 2006: 53 PA, .255/.340/.383 total: .207/.277/.315 he's always been able to pound RHPs and he's always been unable to touch LHPs*; assuming his defense is adequate in COF (totalzone seems to think he's capable, but that's hardly an authority) i'm perfectly fine with him platooning with Soriano and/or Byrd if no better options present themselves *i couldn't find splits for his past season in Iowa, but i doubt they're really much different

    Koren Robinson?

    i imagine they'd look to the stands like a contestant on The Price is Right

    Roy Williams became the only player in league history to catch a touchdown pass for both the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions according to Elias.
