    like our SS?
  2. sneakypower
    and why do they want 3 players that all present downgrades from what they've got?
  3. sneakypower
    i wouldn't trade Soto for Montero
  4. sneakypower
    granted i don't know what the scouting reports were like for Soriano, but has any scout ever suggested Vitters be capable of 40 2B - 40 HR seasons? it's not a rhetorical question either, i'm just not familiar with any; it's always been "most likely scenario: Michael Cuddyer", or "more physical Howie Kendrick" it probably sounds like my argument keeps changing, if so i guess i'm not explaining my hate well enough; it's a cumulation of everything that's made me lose all hope for him as a prospect
  5. sneakypower
    even Soriano somehow sported a 50% higher walk than Vitters in the minors, though he was more old for his levels

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/anderga01.shtml yeah, i had thought about him, but what does it stay when your perfect world outcome wasn't even an above average hitter? you know what a 100 wRC+ first baseman is called? Garrett Jones, Brett Wallace, Lyle Overbay
  7. sneakypower
    he has a career 4.2% BB rate! and he hasn't even reached the leagues where guys throw strikes yet! how? i'd like for you to describe for me a potential scenario where this could happen, where a guy with such historically abysmal plate discipline and no defensive ability has went on to forge for himself a productive MLB career, or even just assert himself as a starting-caliber player for more than just a couple seasons if we allow ourselves to be the least bit objective about things, we all realize he's a lost cause, but i'm fine if people want to wait until it's undoubtedly official to declare it; probably the more tactful thing
  8. sneakypower
    *pun intended

    not when they'll have the best 3rd line in hockey and maybe the deepest stable of defensemen, to go along with an elite goaltender and if memory serves, he played on Chicago's top line much of the year they won the cup
  10. sneakypower
    because he's never shown any true promise he can't field, is bound for first, is walks-averse, is slow, and has middling power despite a relatively full frame why are we all excited about a guy with the upside to be a latter-day Garrett Atkins??
  11. sneakypower
    all the defenses of Vitters sound like battered wife syndrome "...but he's young, he can still get better" "he'll start hitting the ball harder, i know it!"
  12. sneakypower
    i was thinking about Washington's offseason and to me they look like the President's Cup favorites, on paper Ovechkin-Backstrom-Knuble Brouwer-Johansson-Semin Ward-Laich-Fehr Green-Hamrlik Alzner-Carlson Wideman-Schultz Vokoun-Neuvirth wow.
  13. sneakypower
    Gallagher?
  14. sneakypower
    for 50 points of slugging and like 5 points of obp? not really. What is the equivalent value of SLG points and OBP points? I know they're weighted in the wOBA figures, but is it like 2:1? 5:1? Surely it's not 10:1. it's roughly 1.7:1 http://www.insidethebook.com/ee/index.php/site/comments/why_does_17obpslg_make_sense/ at any rate, context-neutral, Aramis has been the best hitter amongst NL 3B, but factoring home ballpark, Headley's had the more valuable offensive season thus far we're talking about guys who've only made 100-130 plays defensively and not much variance in defensive statistics, so those should probably mostly serve as a tiebreaker or something
  15. sneakypower
    54 and 62 points on offensively challenged teams. 73 and 78 games played. give him a real top line center and i think he'll be explosive again. no one talks about minnesota either. even though they're in a huge hockey market, they're a terribly uninteresting team. hell, last year he played almost every shift with Kyle Brodziak or Matt Cullen as his C; it's really impressive the points he was able to put up, considering
  16. sneakypower
    man, i wish we could have gotten in on that action instead of giving Ericsson a pile of undeserved money
  17. sneakypower
    i'm going to have an assault on Ken Holland for giving Ericsson $9.25M trying to understand the scale here... if Ericsson's worth 9M+ and Ehrhoff's worth 40M, then Yandle's worth 723M and Doughty 11.2B, i think
  18. sneakypower
    damn :(
  19. sneakypower
    with a 3.1 BB% this year, Borbon would fit right in here and Davis sucks, too
  20. sneakypower
    it's really annoying that stars fall in SJs lap every offseason: Boyle, Thornton (ok, in-season), Heatley and now Burns Setoguchi is nowhere near that valuable
  21. sneakypower
    he waved it
  22. sneakypower
    yeah, i honestly don't know why i'm not the GM of this damn team yet
  23. sneakypower
    that was Alex Gordon, last year maybe Juan Francisco qualifies, i'd like him if he came cheap enough
  24. sneakypower
    to me, he's not even a consideration until both Pujols and Fielder are signed (elsewhere) but guys like him who are useful but blocked are who i'd always want to pursue in trades, like when your buddy ordered too much at lunch and you're like "hey you gonna eat those fries?"
  25. sneakypower
    at his current pace, he'd reach 3,000 by the age of 35
