  1. I think stuff like UZR is updated less frequently than daily, so it could be yesterday's offense and a week or so of defensive value. Bryant was specifically worth .173292559 WAR yesterday so it must've been a very favorable UZR update (scoring change?)
  2. FINALLY wild card: drop Santana, add Story
  3. in 47 AB, Rizzo has 11 2B & 5 HR, 15 R, 14 RBI vs. PIT (.532/.589/1.128) in 53 AB, Bryant has 4 2B & 9 HR, 19 R, 21 RBI vs CIN (.415/.508/1.000)
  4. Rizzo leads NL in wOBA also i wonder how many guesses it would take most people here to name NL leader in SLG
  5. roundabout way of saying, he's not a great defensive player
  6. i really don't believe gambler's fallacy applies to baseball very much it's a game of streaks/slumps and the assertion basically ignores that
  7. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vLOAoksNY1Q/URFUvHAoV6I/AAAAAAAAJXE/ebJVVqBVqKE/s1600/not-like-this.gif
  8. Almora looked like Braun with that swing
  9. not often the bat goes flying like that, on a batted ball
  10. good Javy's ('15-'16) men on base / RISP splits are pronounced; pitchers can get him out with the greatest of ease when they concentrate on their sequencing he's still our #1 trade chip i feel like
  11. BP's Bret Sayre says this of a current Cubs prospect: "Might be the best hitter in the minors right now"
  12. interesting to consider that Law's #5 is 41st for BA and Longenhagen's 3rd-best pitching prospect doesn't crack top-100 here
  13. rest-of-season, i still say over on .750 OPS o/u
  14. we've gotten enough looks at him now and know probably the most about his true talent that i'm not particularly concerned about something like this; the question was brought up a little while back but is instructive, how many players on that list would you trade Contreras for? add 1 to that & that's his ranking Oh, I was only saying that for fun and not for any practical reasons. I just wanted the chance to add another top 25 prospect to Epstein/Hoyer/McLeod's credit. Keith Law had him 18th in his midseason update so we can award WC that distinction he also had Torres top-15 and we can reasonably assume Happ will gain top 25 status in due time (BA midseason?), so hitter development is going pretty well i'd say
  15. we've gotten enough looks at him now and know probably the most about his true talent that i'm not particularly concerned about something like this; the question was brought up a little while back but is instructive, how many players on that list would you trade Contreras for? add 1 to that & that's his ranking
  16. wait is that Lucas Harrell? oh this gonna be good...
  17. eh i'm not really worried, even a little bit
  18. bugs me that people think this pen resembles the Spring atrocity in any way gone are Hoover, Catham; Diaz is buried and the guys we've seen this series are all fairly good
