    That was Rolen. yeah i see now you're right. oops

    i actually vaguely remember Pujols sac bunting a runner to 3rd against us in like 2004. Farns walkoff BBed in the winning run if i'm remembering right. dumb play regardless.

    Dickerson HRs here i bet you

    well if all they need to do is roll up their sleeves that sounds like an easy enough thing to do, wonder why nobody ever noticed that in the past

    as much as i hate to dignify any of PCPs posts, what are pessimists trying to argue? if you've got a ballclub who wins at a .600 clip, is that unsatisfactory without consistency? are we of the mindset that consistency is an achievable dream and the team can go 3-2 in every 5 game stretch? or are we considerably more talented than just a .600 team? i really don't get any of this. nobody was complaining about inconsistency when we had long winning streaks. wow i used that word pretty often in this post; now i feel like http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:r76UuKpceq3q9M:http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2005/writers/richard_deitsch/10/20/morgan.website/tx_joemorgan_all.jpg

    if you get the bunt down, win exp goes from .438 to .477 the problem is i don't trust Soto at all for that

    the first three are every week starters; dont overreact to Forte's big day vs an undersized D this is the right thinking, though it looks like Hightower is vulturing James' TDs. I still like him better for yardage than Ocho.

    there are like 7 options better than giving K-Rod $75m

    Turner looked good, but the Lions had some terribly inept tackling on display all afternoon. There were wide lanes for both RBs to run through; who would have thought Rogers' loss would leave them extremely light on the line? Not Millen & Marinelli, I guess.

    well he was the director of baseball development in 2004-05, so i guess he inherited it from himself. you're really missing the point on this; it's not a lifetime achievement award.

    it'd be nice to have 1 sacrificial "overreact to something stupid a beat writer printed" thread so we could confine all madness to a singular place i'd learn to avoid

    he behaviored his way out of town. obviously i'm aware of his transgressions; it doesn't really justify selling a player at rock bottom value. his talent was still immense and the player compensation was ineffectual so why not give him a shot in RF with the opening there and if he does more knucklehead crap to cause a distraction you can release him with no harm done. it never made a lot of sense. i hate this criteria, because it basically gives no reward to a gm who has built his team cost-effectively through the farm system. i think a more reasonable guideline would be to give the award to the general manager who has done the best job of putting together the 2007 ballclub, rather than the general manager who has done the most in the past calendar year to put that team together. and he still inherited most of their young talent. Garza and Pena were great moves, as well as the reworking of the bullpen, but there have been other GMs who've done even better jobs in that timeframe.

    How has the LD% looked?April: 21.6% in 28-1/3 IP May: 25.5% in 27-2/3 IP June: 17.3% in 29-1/3 IP July: 11.7% in 26 IP August: 20.6% in 30 IP Sept: 12.8% in 13-1/3 IP 18.4% opp LD since the start of June

    i think i'll consider this a rare occurrence that i was right about something. back in early May he looked like DFA material, but was a victim of a bloated BABIP at the time. he's turned it around as his luck has better evened out. true to form though, I did also say we'd lean heavily on Hill in the playoffs so win some, lose some I guess...

    I don't see those 3 comparisons as much because all have considerable value in their superb defense, but what's made sense to me is Garret Anderson with a slightly lesser level of peak production of course that would be assuming all goes fairly well; still, Anderson's milb stats were pretty crummy pre-AAA

    he's actually hit his worst at 2B 2B: 280 PA - 823 OPS 3B: 52 - 996 LF: 88 - 913 RF: 96 - 896

    wait why use warp3 for the same season?
  20. sneakypower
    i'm guessing Derosa's hurt in the VORP comparison by his OF, 3B time roberts 121 ops+ .297 eqa 7.6 warp derosa 123 ops+ .295 eqa 7.6 warp these two guys are twins this year also deserving mention is that we dont seem to be suffering from the void of a true leadoff hitter
  21. sneakypower
    i don't think that's entirely fair to derosa, as roberts has an 88 PA advantage
  22. sneakypower
    i don't like the guy who traded Elijah Dukes for peanuts being mentioned for the Executive of the Year Award besides, so much of the core of that team was already in place; the two Chicago GMs are far more deserving this year
  23. sneakypower
    a better point would revolve around Roberts = no Harden
  24. sneakypower
    Willie Harris leads the Nats in HR Ronnie Belliard leads in OPS
