  1. Marson's nice, but the in the hell are they going to do with him?
  2. hahaha i love these little thin-skinned non sequiturs never fails to deliver
  3. everybody's talking about Sandoval and Zobrist
  4. shoulda got a trademark on it, Tomboy
  5. Castro's progression: Split PA BB% K% April 68 2.9% 11.8% May 91 2.2% 9.9% June 112 6.3% 9.8% July 85 5.9% 7.1%
  6. soriano had a -20% WPA yesterday, fwiw
  7. i've got a friend who works the hotdog stand at Principal Park that told me Miles hasn't been working the count. this might be something to keep an eye on.
  8. the sensible explanation is he's a flyball pitcher with unbelievable defenders in the OF. but yeah, i'm sure he's just trying harder this year.
  9. i wouldn't mind facing reed johnson, but thats just me
  10. ignoring dexter's raving lunacy for a moment, i had no clue Jason Kubel was having such a huge season. .348/.418/.656 vs righties, .942 ops overall.
  11. UZR? Oh, I'm gonna leave this to Dextermorgan. You do realize that UZR has some serious flaws, right? oh yeah, care to elaborate? The fact that, much like most other defensive stats, it's based on observation, that it doesn't factor in the fielder's arm strength and his ability to turn a DP. 1. it isn't based on observation 2. i don't think you understand what a fact is 3. it's a range metric, no [expletive] it doesn't factor throwing arm and DP ability 4. both of those are however, measured through different stats already factored into WAR
  12. UZR? Oh, I'm gonna leave this to Dextermorgan. You do realize that UZR has some serious flaws, right? oh yeah, care to elaborate?
  13. i think a Carpenter/Wainright/Piniero injury is a must for us to have a good chance at the division.
  14. Mark DeFelice, without a doubt
  15. http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_mlb_experts__32/ept_sports_mlb_experts-96205502-1247856981.jpg?ymW1llBDp0GNNl3g
  16. they asked for Brandon Wood and Trevor Reckling from LA for Sherrill. yeah, i'll pass.
  17. word is Zduriencik was close to acquiring Edwin Jackson and Zobrist in seperate trades over the winter too
  18. ah, matt harrington. i love stories with happy endings.
  19. lol Kozma. they should include used scraps of toilet paper in the deal to sweeten it some more while they're at it. or, bryan anderson.

  22. the variance happens because the sample's so small. most analysts agree that you'll need nearly 2-3 years of defensive data for UZR to be a good reliable indicator of defensive value. i know it's not entirely analogous, but looking at AVG right now, i have trouble believing Jason Bartlett is a .370 hitter.
