    sure, in a full season he can be. but i didn't even say that at all. everybody's completely ignoring the marketing side, but that's a different story altogether. you're railing on the fangraphs way of player valuation and the open market way of player evaluation. got any better ideas? gut feel, hunches? it's hard keeping up with your fanaticism.

    umm, thanks for your quote snapshot of the article, saving me from having to take the time to read it there

    good move on Miami's end in getting Moon along with O'Neal

    the key flaw in their system is it judges worth based only on FA salary. many teams can pull up guys like Kubel or Scott to be competent enough with 800+ OPS where you don't need to waste $10m on Free Agents for slightly improved production. but the FA market had been (until this year) obviously tremendously flawed, where guys like Jose Guillen can make 8 figures annually, and a team that doesn't feel they have an player in-house who can adequately play the position gets desperate enough to give out stupid contract like Jose received. that's what Bradley is being compared to. i think it's fair to say that compared to other recent FA signings we got a pretty reasonable deal. it's really the only aspect of the offseason i'm happy about. http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/sp/v/mlb/players_l/20080402/6154.jpg?x=65&y=85&xc=1&yc=1&wc=164&hc=215&q=100&sig=LCwAE1TFB2scz.nmPVAI3w--

    well, then your problem is having him in any clubhouse. in what way?
  6. sneakypower
    yes, plz, let's get Elijah Dukes, Lastings Milledge and Milton Bradley in the same clubhouse. Dukes & Milledge were in the same clubhouse last year and they didn't go on any gang banging rampages. Dukes has HOF talent. its worth the gamble.
  7. sneakypower
    Dukes and Milledge plz
  8. sneakypower
    Holy crap. Nice numbers.. i noticed he's the #1 ranked player for the last month in yahoo fantasy basketball, #2 of all people is Troy Murphy (Lebron #3).
  9. sneakypower
    wait, what?
  10. sneakypower
    yeah, good going. he's costing them Griffin.
  11. sneakypower
    a little off-topic, but i'm more perturbed that Bonds was permitted to wear massive body armor and hang over the plate with impunity, than i am about him roiding up
  12. sneakypower
    ??? why wouldn't he be? Because he's a fat guy with old player skills. he's not really fat at all though. hell, isn't he in Subway Diet commercials with Jared?

    that one really oughta sting for the Pens fans

    possibly the best sleeper out there is Holliday. Oakland Coliseum or not, it's unfathomable that he's slipping to the 3rd round in even expert drafts.
  16. sneakypower
    i'd say developing Noah and Thomas into quality starters in the front court would be more vital than securing a decent draft pick. and as of late, they're both actually showing improvements.
  17. sneakypower
    NUN, have you seen any of Leino yet? with what i've seen of him i've been impressed. he's great at controlling the puck, and would probably develop into a top-6 forward on a normal team. but as loaded as the Wings are, who knows where they'll fit him in ultimately. the rich get richer.
  18. sneakypower
    i think it's important to remember that we (reportedly) wouldn't part with Pie in a Roberts deal or with Hill in a Bedard deal, just a year ago
  19. sneakypower
    ok then, take your pick- Hendry: -has really mismanaged his prospects and how to get the best value for them over the last few yrs -has put together an absolutely piss-poor farm system, which with the resources he's had at hand, is downright indefensible at least one of the two statements is correct
  20. sneakypower
    i hope you're not saying Heyward's a better bet than Wieters. at any rate, that SimIndex doesn't make sense. Adam Dunn, the most predictable player alive, registers an 8. though I don't doubt i'm misunderstanding it.
  21. sneakypower
    hey meph check out the #17 hitter "upside" rating but try not to look at #2
  22. sneakypower
    oh, and Gaudin's #1 comp is Dennis Martinez. Harden has the #1 "stuff" rating; Lincecum's the only one who comes close (41.14 & 37.45, respectively)

    as it turns out, felix pie's 3rd comparable is carlos beltran
  24. sneakypower
    His first-pitch strike percentage in 2008 was 60.7%, third out of four seasons in his career and right around his career average of 58.7. I think there is something to the "wearing down" theory, because his 2007 was out of whack with his other season's, and that that was where he threw the most pitches. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1783&position=P He doesn't appear to have it in him to be a full-time starter. yeah i guess he did it less often than in 05 when he threw 13 mfing innings, for whatever that's worth. and it's comparable to his approach in 06 when he had the best results of his young career. the worst projection for him i can find is like 4.30 FIP. yeah, an above average pitcher is more than adequate to be your 6th or 7th man in the rotation. i stand by what i said.
  25. sneakypower
    he started throwing first-pitch strikes with more regularity and consequently cut down on his walks. he pitched great in 07 before wearing down in the 2nd half due to the highest innings total of his career. and he's still just 25.
