    two extremes- DeVoss is hitting .004 pts higher than Vitters, but has an OBP .130 pts higher Brett Jackson has a .248/.324/.454 MLE in Iowa right now. if he can provide average CF defense, that's a 3 win player

    Jacoby Ellsbury alone has more HR than that lineup for the season

    this cracked me up, too http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/12/cris-carter-calvin-johnson-is-great-in-video-games-not-in-real-football/ [expletive] TECMO BOWL

    obviously he's a pretty crappy player right now, but i'd have liked to give him a try (also note in this fantasy world where my GM wishes were to come to fruition, we'd also have an organizational philosophy pressing him and other free swingers to adopt a somewhat more patient approach [doubt the Tigers are the team to cure him of his bad habits, though])

    with the schedule, i think there's a good chance they start 0-3
  10. sneakypower
    this is good thinking i mean, the Teixeira and Sabathia contracts have just killed the Yankees

    7-9 (record)
  14. sneakypower
    right now Castro's on pace right now for 217 hits, a mark that's been reached in the NL only once in the last 13 years ('04 - Pierre)

    Lions broadcaster Rob Rubick, after a personal foul penalty call on Suh: "You cannot pick up the quarterback and try to body-slam him. This is not the 1950's."

    huh, you don't say

    Reyes is the most analogous example amongst those guys, and his previous best season was .841 and he's still liable to finish the year much closer to that mark than .900

    ESPN's grade: I'm amused that Aromashadu is a key loss, but Manning gets no mention. i'm amused that he thinks Marinelli is exceptional at anything, besides sounding like a jackass when he speaks
  20. sneakypower
    i realize that, but you're shining more light on how it's incredibly unlikely for Castro to do that the (15) players with an OPS between .875 and .925 collectively average BB% of 10.18%, ISOs of .214 and BABIPs of .325 Castro's at 4.1% , .120, and .350, respectively; he's got a ton of progressing to do, and i'd love for it to happen - just doesn't seem like a safe bet
  21. sneakypower
    don't you think that hurts your argument?
  22. sneakypower
    please then tell me how you expect that's going to happen
  23. sneakypower
    he's got a .767 OPS now with a lofty .350 babip even assuming he could keep his huge 2Bs and 3Bs totals the same as they are now, if on top of that he tripled his HR rate and doubled his walk rate and still hit .330, he'd be hovering around .880 i can't even dream of any possible scenario where he'll ever reach .900

    PFF's Free Agency Grades
  25. sneakypower
    Completely agree. If he can get his SLG up over .450 this year and closer to .500 in the future, you're talking about a perennial all-star and MVP candidate. he'd also need to drastically improve his defense to warrant mentioning as an MVP candidate
