  1. the tigers brass has always remarked that his tools have vastly improved since they drafted him, it's really impossible to determine whether he'd have developed into the same quality of player had we drafted him. he's improved a lot on his plate discipline, fwiw. i think he'd still be a terrific defensive CF regardless
  2. i was at that game, the walkoff HR went 8 rows behind me
  3. thats true, and so was Manny Ramir... wait that doesnt work
  4. the Hossa interview is just awkward. every reporter's giving him a different clever variation of the same question
  5. his voodoo doll actually worked though
  6. tune in a year from now for the rubbermatch
  7. they should give the Conn Smythe to the crossbar
  8. i don't think hendry understands the concept of selling. as bad as we were in 05, he passed on Ethier in favor of Izturis because he thought he'd be pay more immediate dividends. and there really wasn't much more movement beyond that.
  9. thats obviously a mspaint, how dare you denigrate his artwork like that
  10. He does realize Edmonds had tremendous power right? Edmonds certainly didn't have power until he hit the big leagues; how he "grew" into it is worthy of debate
  11. yeah, Osgood and Fleury and Scuderi were all great in net
  12. HOLY [expletive] FLEURY
  13. about his "cringe-worthy mechanics", fwiw: http://www.drivelinemechanics.com/2009/5/30/893979/hope-your-team-doesnt-draft
  14. 0-5 3k last night in iowa, so he appears to be right back in game shape
  15. http://seattle.mariners.mlb.com/images/2005/07/19/wFSg9dbm.jpg
  16. i'm a little slow, so I'm going to try to spell this out. Are you suggesting that looking at road numbers for a guy who played the majority of his road games in huge pitcher's parks like SF, LA, and SD isn't wise if you're not looking to add the game to a team that plays its home games in such a park? Yes, Coors inflates numbers. And the other NLW parks deflate them. Odd to eliminate one outlier and base your analysis entirely on numbers impacted by the other outliers. i'm not going to ignore park factors, but as with the tireless khalil greene debates last year, if you're otherworldly good in half of your at-bats or downright god awful in half of your at-bats that simply can't be ignored or brushed aside fwiw Hollidays hitting .343/.467/.525 over the past month
  17. an ecksteinesque pitiful 23 HR in 1632 milb PA, and now he's at a 300 isoP for his last 400 professional PA if i were a cynic, i might think...
  18. man Hanson looks fantastic hitting his spots at 95-96 and throwing filthy CB/SL for strikes
  19. nobody wanted to join a career OPS fantasy league like i suggested
  20. lol dexxies at it again with career road numbers i wonder why a player wouldn't hit as well in at&t or petco park as coors. these are things you'd have to worry about if you didn't want a guy to play in a hitters park which is what wrigley is
  21. great watch the cards pick this guy up and turn him into a 20 game winner
  22. and something like 4 of them are pickoffs, iirc what this trade says to me is that Huntington is trying to build a team with insane defensive efficiency. i dont like the lack of power they're going to have, but hernandez, mccutchen, tabata would cover insane ground, considering their lousy collection of pitchers throughout the organization might be a decent strategy. but they really should have gotten more in return.
  23. starlin castro's error totals would make bj upton blush
