    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.

    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.

    Gaudin is more than adequate as a fill-in starter.
  4. sneakypower
    wait, are we being contracted next year?
  5. sneakypower
    oh god, i take what i said back now.
  6. sneakypower
    Gaudin is more than adequate as a fill-in starter. if we can get Heilman for unwanted junk, why did we give up Ceda for the right to pay a likely inferior pitcher 2.5 times the salary?
  7. sneakypower
    what hand does he throw with? how old is he? c'mon people hurry it up i don't have all day
  8. sneakypower
    yeah, he's always been fun to watch, even back to when we used to make it out to Vipers games regularly speaking of the Bruins, the Boyes/Wideman swap got a lot of negative press from Boston's end but Wideman's really turning into a very good defenseman, as Boyes proves to be a terrible defensive liability. though i'm having a hard time shaking my of Wideman...

    maybe in '10, not a good chance of any of that happening this year

    if you did a comparison using KD's SF numbers, things swing in his favor dramatically. your second point sounds like you're arguing in his favor. i'm more impressed with a guy who has to shoulder the offensive burden and only has the option of deferring to stiffs like Robert Swift or Damien Wilkins instead of guys like Gasol or Odom.
  11. sneakypower
    oh nevermind, i did a google and learned that they started doing this like 150 years ago
  12. sneakypower
    i can't wait until baseball comes out with recorded accounts of the games played so we can have a better understanding of things like this

    i know everyone here hates Tyrus, but he looks a lot like Kenyon Martin to me.

    player A: .472 FG .864 FT 1.3 threes 26.3 ppg 5.6 reb 5.2 assists 1.3 steals 0.4 blocks 2.8 TO player B: .468 FG .863 FT 1.3 threes 24.7 ppg 6.6 reb 2.6 assists 1.3 steals 0.8 blocks 3.2 TO

    20 board night for DeAndre Jordan seriously, i'll never figure out how he slipped to the 2nd
  16. sneakypower
    they should introduce Goalie Shootout into the skills competition, make them leave their pads on and use the same sticks. i know i'd love it.
  17. sneakypower
    what a dyck
  18. sneakypower
    it's better that we can replace Harden in the rotation with Marshall instead of Peavy? almost as odd as whoever's talking about cult of flagellants and frenzy of loathing to the nth degree or some [expletive]
  19. sneakypower
    i might as well take the Lions...
  20. sneakypower
    hmm, his paltry power numbers really went through the roof six seasons into his career, after becoming Bonds' teammate something's amiss here
  21. sneakypower
    then that's a really pointless argument Justin Morneau is comparable to Chone Figgins, by your weird specifications. the futility of this is giving me a migraine.
  22. sneakypower
    tell me about the batted ball types of each player that caused the significant gap in avg, while you're on a roll. also a little unsure why you left out a player's best season, since it's more recent and of better predictive value. but i agree with your second point. i guess they look a little bit similar.
  23. sneakypower
    the Patterson comparisons are insulting to anybody with use of their brains compare both players performance at the same age, at the same levels and you've got really no similarities
  24. sneakypower
    also, his K rate was on a consistent downward slope as he progressed throughout the minors. oh and his slugging improved at the same time.
  25. sneakypower
    he does?
