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.

+1 ! our fallen comrade is still alive after all

i remember when Yuniesky was untouchable nevertheless, Moore's quite possibly worse than Baird was, if that's possible -
sarge jr was on steroids, Delucci likely was too and Andruw Jones is hitting better on the road thus far
-
huh? May 1 through last night, he was playing at a 50 HR pace. at any rate, great hitters like Kinsler, Youkilis, Vic Martinez have had a really rough go of it during that timeframe and you wouldn't think much of it. and your main culprit for Jones' slump is .205 BABIP.

Sandoval's just 22 and slugging .560- who exactly is complaining about his approach?

All Star Selection Special Noon- TBS

i love Sandoval like no other, but he's a very poor defensive player and Zimmerman's GG caliber. Zimm's the right pick. -
i call him, Carlogonza!
-
whats the book on Wilson Contreras?
-
Pahlsson to Columbus 3/$7.95M
-
Has to be a Bowman related move. I don't see the point. Hopefully he's not making anything. 2 years 2.4m
-
he's just a guy. i've never thought much of him. the wings are better off with Leino & Helm playing.
-
nobody cares about those scrubs, lets all talk about freaking Hossa just pulled a 12 year, $62.4m deal for Chi and that Craig Anderson for 2/3.6 is an amazing coup for the Avs
-
that matt walker deal is more horrendous edit: Hossa to the Hawks?!?!??
-
i hope the ptbnl is pujols
-
homeruns and heartbeats? that's gotta be the most boring, pointless story i've heard in awhile
-
i'll do this discussion a favor and ignore that first paragraph of nonsense. you seem to be in agreement with me here. you're admitting if you pitch badly but get otherworldly lucky your success probably won't last very long. similarly, if guys keep hitting moonshots a few inches foul or blasting 400 ft opposite field flyouts, these guys should start finding the bleachers/avoid gloves when luck evens out.
-
thats kind of a dumb ass comment i'm not ready to bury guys because guys rip a pitch opposite field 395 feet instead of the requisite 400 feet it takes to go over the wall. the fact of the matter is they played well enough to win but didn't catch the breaks. not sure why people are focusing solely on the result and extrapolating from that.
-
i like that in Hanson's last 3 starts, he's got a 1.06 era and 1.76 whip
-
Not terrible, no. But not good. Gave up two homers in a pitcher's park (what it that, 13 now this year?) and walked, what, four guys? He's clearly not even close to the pitcher he was last year. Fortunately, Lilly has been great this year otherwise who knows how far back the Cubs would be right now. i think comerica park is a lot more hitter friendly now than it used to be. that's true, but it doesn't matter much when both HRs traveled > 400 ft
-
i don't think they played all that bad last night. Bradley narrowly missed a 3-R HR foul, Hoffpauir had a bases clearing double go just foul, and Fox nearly had two opposite field HRs. that's just bad fortune.
-
going to the game tonight, i'm hoping it drags and we can see the Detroit fireworks in the background of CoPa
-
this. the blame lies sorely on Boras' shoulders, and Magglio's own greed that he's not playing baseball right now. take a longer contract for lesser annual money guaranteed and you're not in this situation.
