warner lynch and engrams hurt, so obviously other 2

your math is forgetting better pitchers who didn't qualify. there were only 80 pitchers in baseball who pitched enough innings to qualify for ERA title. where does that leave him, 43/80? or are we just assuming every pitcher left is awful and wouldn't possibly post higher FIPs to bump him further down the rankings? so if you loosen the innings constraints to 130 he becomes the owner of the 52nd best FIP in the league, out of 112. that may be a bit unfair, but my entire stance was i don't know that there's any way you can slice it where he was "among the top pitchers in the league". unless of course you're looking into his numbers with obvious tunnel vision. -
43rd best FIP in baseball *amongst qualified starters* doesn't really scream 'elite pitcher' to me that's what, ok #2, good #3? sounds about right
-
Sherrill's awful, but Chris Tillman isn't. i know the Orioles are going to profit more in that trade than the Indians in the Choo trade, but Bedard had ace potential and that was the market for him. oh, it was misguided, but there was never any legitimate reason to give up a really solid prospect for a 1B with upside as simply an average hitter playing 1B if you platoon him right. and it obviously went south really, really quick.

last 65 games fwiw .391 avg .609 slg, 25 doubles 67 runs and 10 sb to boot that's a torrid 2/5 season stretch that will probably color some writers opinions, given its timing

morgan check stoney check

Shin-Soo Choo for Ben Broussard- the worst Bavasi acquisition? consult post-ASB numbers before scoffing at the premise

i'm glad you're willing to repeatedly reiterate when you're right about something some of us have bad memories
-
obviously we all know how useless R, RBI are as stats but it's still hard to understand how a guy with a line of .364/.468/.643 is languishing at 14th & 12th in the NL for runs and RBI, respectively the easy answer would be bad lineup, but he's got Ludwick, Glaus, Ankiel and Schumaker surrounding him in the lineup; hardly a motley crew of talent
-
he's been really GD good this year
-
and since then have looked like utter poop, sans a decent screen to McGuffie
-
Dustin Pedroia has higher VORP than Josh Hamilton Harden has more K than Johan Santana, in 60 fewer innings
-
Where did you pick? Brady, Barber and Fitz are all top 15 players. 4th. ESPN might have had Fitzgerald ranked lowly allowing him to slip to me at 28 or so. it also helps there's at least 5 other high end WRs who were taken before that point.

jacoby ellsbury OPS - 674 556 since the ASB ROY award is probably going elsewhere
-
i like that you drafted Rice; McGahee's definitely not going to be starting for 16 games. but personally i'd prefer to have a better backup than Schaub for a starter with concussion concerns. like the Johnson & Lewis picks, dislike Ward & Galloway picks. i think i fared decently in a 12 team league: qb - brady rb - barber III rb - e. graham wr - fitzgerald wr - r white/b marshall wr/rb - bowe te - witten lbs - barnett, beason de - vandenbosch, hali dbs - j phillips, landry k - nedney with aaron rodgers, kevin smith, meachem, o'sullivan and some others on the bench

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-26-2008

that ball was Smoaked! -
i don't know how you can't make a determination right now as to whether Pujols is better than Gehrig, or where A-Rod stands amongst the all-time greats. we're pretty well-aware already of what each player's true talent level is and can easily compare to other great's peaks also. the only thing yet to be determined is how long they'll sustain high levels of play, and that is more of an issue of counting stats, where there is more noise than is worth sifting through for these comparisons. that would be simply a discussion of milestones; but i don't really think any more of Biggio's career since he floundered around that extra season to reach 3,000 hits.

why is Michael Brenly always bolded; who cares about him? -
who thought Rich Hill would have a 2.75 ERA and be virtually assured a top 5 Cy Young finish by this point in the season?
-
it does? you must not have noticed how belligerent people were about him all offseason

Has Ricky Nolasco gotten a thread yet?
sneakypower replied to inari's topic in General Baseball Talk
last 15 starts 105-2/3 IP 81 H 12 walks 108 k 2.73 ERA 0.97 WHIP that's some good pitching -
Why doesn't a Sac Fly count as an At Bat?
sneakypower replied to Cynosure's topic in General Baseball Talk
it's similar reasoning to GIDPs not producing an RBI -
2nd basemen playing 1st base or DH
