I hate Rodney Harrison. and Wes Welker. And Junior Seau.
-
They weren't talking about them much when they were up 2 scores.
-
The announcers don't have much use for the Seahawks.
-
I wonder if any Packers fans would prefer Javon Walker over Jennings still.
-
This one's far from over.
-
Wow. Ryan Grant.
-
Catchers are far too high-risk/low-reward to merit such inflated rankings. As long as you can get one of the top-6 or so catchers out there, you'll be fine. I would reach on one if the only other alternatives were players the level of Estrada/Napoli, but there's more depth in the position than your rankings indicate. I definitely would not draft a catcher in the top 25. There's other disagreements I have, but that's moreso with Bill James. I see Towles is this year's Chris Iannetta, who he had as .900+ OPS last year.

Chargers are the sole upset this week. Though I'd give anything for a Jaguars win tonight.
-
What's the fantasy league scoring system these are reflecting?
-
I'd give it a shot.

You can't be serious. If Theriot was as good as DeRosa we'd have the best lineup in the NL. As it is, Theriot is one of baseball's worst regulars. Theriot's similar to DeRosa only in that they're both capable of playing second base. Oh, my faux pas. I forgot to put quotes around the second sentence, that I plagiarized. -
Bavasi only does that trade if he wants to see what an angry mob would look like.
-
I don't see the love for Derosa. A three year contract worth $13 million, but we've got a similar player that costs $300,000 in Ryan Theriot.

Truth and your opinion are two vastly different things. Truth isn't often wrong.

I'm more curious about their conservative take on Lee's playing time. Because it's based on past data, 2006 provides a bias for Lee's playing time.
-
No, but it'd obviously be a flaw in the study given his advantage.
-
I was simply pointing out the considerable difference between "Best outfield arms" and "guys whose arms baserunners underrate". I read the whole thing. Because the away team or other fielders don't utilize the turf as much on their throws doesn't mean the benefit for him has been marginal. Jacque Jones is the perfect example of this.
-
I'm still waiting for the .734 OPS Soriano was supposed to put up for the Nationals.
-
Yes, but the article claims to adequately quantify which arms are the best by absurd measures. Runners will test Cuddyer more than the RF with respected "cannons". So he's going to be put in easier situations to record assists, which helps him in this manipulation. Infielders cutting off the throws aren't considered, his practice in skipping the ball off the turf not taken into account. At least he's aware of all some of the flaws in his method.
-
Despite the subjectiveness of "best outfield arm", the article is about 2007 performance. He had the same number of baserunner kills as Francoeur, in less opportunities, but if you say so. Are you actually saying you agree that Cuddyer had the best RF arm in baseball last year? Are you actually able to type out words but not read them? Please, elucidate for me what you believe I misunderstood. I was trying to clarify that he really agreed with this nonsense.

There are other SS in baseball besides Khalil Greene. The majority of them are better, too.
-
Like who? I can't see where Toews, Kane, Byfuglien, Barker, Sharp would be available. Ruutu's the only one I can see being traded. Or maybe Havlat, but I don't know what they'd expect to get for him.
-
4-0, what do I win?
-
Cuddyer does not have the best arm in RF, not even close. This article also does not seem to make any mention of the factors played by cutoff men.
