    better than a win, if you ask me
  2. sneakypower
    at 92 pitches, that has to be his last inning
  3. sneakypower
    and Jones is playing DH and slated for cleanup duty Texas is a smart organization, but that's just asinine

    if you don't have 6 padres on your team you're going to lose

    the Rockies are a great team to get his career on track. they really don't have any rotation depth so he has a clear route to the starting 5. (jorge de la rosa agrees)

    it was in a btbs article http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2009/4/8/824406/catching-prospects-pop-guns-and Wieters rates were predictably awe inspiring, but suprisingly even better than Teagarden and Ramos' edit: i guess while we're on the subject, TotalZone loves Tony Thomas, who came in at +19 Runs and +27 Runs/150 Vitters was +7/+18, and the markup they gave him

    eh i didnt feel like making a new thread to focus on Castillo's defense but i found it interesting at least player Level SB% ATT/I SB/I PB/I W.C. A+/AA 75% 9.50% 7.10% 0.030 lgAvg AA 67.60% 11.90% 8.00% 0.013 lgAvg A+ 68.50% 14.60% 10.00% 0.018 basically it suggests while he had difficulty throwing runners out last year, there weren't a lot of attempts against him, possibly due to reputation. his receiving skills need definite work, as evidenced by a putrid 3% passed ball rate. note: the sample is 674-1/3 innings

    Bonifacio's out to make Washington regret trading him in a big way this series

    why i was just saying that clicking on this thread was like opening a christmas present
  12. sneakypower
    i might drop Cliff Lee outright and roster both. not an overreaction to yesterday's disaster, but there's little upside to him aside from W-L, the most unpredictable attribute of all
  13. sneakypower
    oh i was not mentally prepared for that joke
  14. sneakypower
    he's allowed 3 line drives in 4 IP, all for outs
  15. sneakypower
    - H. Ramirez sacrificed to pitcher, J. Baker to third wtf?
  16. sneakypower
    entire roster gets kept, 5x5 + losses basically, for the next 4 years, would you rather have Slowey or Buchholz?
  17. sneakypower
    the only people in the world who have any doubt the Cubs are winning the division this season are all found on this board odd

    Assume Harden goes down for a significant amount of time and we are forced to add Shark to the rotation. Name one team in the Central that will have a better rotation than the Cubs. Also, name one Central team with a better starting lineup than the Cubs. Go ahead. I'll be waiting patiently for your reply. Using PECOTA, if we give Harden's 155 innings to Shark, the Cubs starting rotation (Z, Lilly, Dempster, Shark, and Marshall) is projected to have a composite ERA of 4.76 over 845 innings, while the Brewers starting rotation (Gallardo, Suppan, Bush, Parra, Looper) is projected to have composite ERA of 4.45 over 800 innings. So, according to PECOTA, the Brewers would have a better rotation. Clearly, there is no NL Central team with a better lineup than the Cubs, but that wasn't the argument. The fact is that inserting Shark instead of Harden gives back every bit of advantage the Cubs have in the rotation and, according to PECOTA, gives the Brewers the better rotation. I'll be waiting patiently for your patronizing reply. ugh, the Shark is a pitcher Pecota just has no idea how to properly forecast. and i hope i don't have to explain the utter impossibility that Lou would have patience enough to give 150 innings to a guy with a 6 ERA

    it's not their fault Osgood stepped out of net to pass the puck right to Clutterbuck. they were thoroughly outplayed all game and just got lucky breaks to keep it close.

    neither is the marlins making the playoffs. if their top 5 stay reasonably healthy, they probably have the best pitching in the division and a much improved defense. it really wouldn't surprise me at all to see them make the playoffs.
  21. sneakypower
    how are Wood & Morales disappointments??
  22. sneakypower
    looks like meph learned japanese all for nothin
  23. sneakypower
    they shouldn't be
  24. sneakypower
    well the good news of this all is that Zimmermann, Porcello, Perry exhausting their prospect status soon should propel us from last in the farm system rankings
  25. sneakypower
    you had the lefty loser twins Robertson and Willis playing hot potato with the gig all spring, now Willis is bipolar or something and Robertson still blows. not a lot of other options, really. i don't really see anything wrong with it. you an skip his starts a few times early in the season and limit his innings, and they've got 3/4 of a great defensive IF to field all the grounders he'll induce. the real desperation move will be calling up Perry in May to close after Lyon gets repeatedly bombed.
