    very lazily - http://mlsplits.drivelinebaseball.com/mlsplits/mlecalc i don't dispute they're a bit flawed, but it's a good way to get a quick and easy estimate of a player's immediate potential

    i think you guys have got it all wrong with the LT/RT fixation correct me if i'm wrong, but Cutler's not a QB where you worry about blindside hits, because he's usually pretty parallel to the LOS with his shoulders, and even with pressure coming from his left he can still step into a throw. also consider the two best pass rushers in the division he'll face (Matthews and Avril) come from the right side of the field, and i'd probably consider putting my better pass protector over there

    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

    hadn't seen this site before, but scouting grades and player comparisons for the top 122 players who were in the draft 14) Baez: Julio Lugo, Felipe Lopez, Todd Walker - good approach, power, athlete, move to 3B likely 50) Zych: Kyle Farnsworth - 93-99 fb, avg slider, decept, iffy mechs, dazzled in cape cod league 52) Maples: Scott Linebrink, Chad Billingsley - 90-95 sink fb, above avg cb fut plus, fringy fb cmd, incons mechs 95) Vogelbach: Jack Cust, Nick Swisher - plus-plus raw power, good approach, bad athlete, soft body no Dunston, Jr.

    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
  12. sneakypower
    this is good thinking i mean, the Teixeira and Sabathia contracts have just killed the Yankees

    7-9 (record)
  16. 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)

    for those that love power rankings http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/08/11/pre-preseason-power-rankings/

    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."
  19. sneakypower
    huh, you don't say
  20. sneakypower
    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
  22. 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
  23. sneakypower
    don't you think that hurts your argument?
  24. sneakypower
    please then tell me how you expect that's going to happen
  25. 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
