    right, our postseason odds are like 5/6 likelihood right now and we already have a 3- or 4-man playoff rotation rivaling anybody's, not to mention two strong options to start the inevitable stupid coin-flip game...the bullpen is fine, the hitting doesn't have any obvious holes screaming for an upgrade total lunacy

    Ian Happ's strikeout problems are starting to worry me some

    defensive disaster Chris Coghlan at it again

    Brown's a total no-brainer and Charles & Jeffrey, probably

    i don't really believe 2B is that difficult a position to man; Baltimore had Steve Pearce there for the better part of a month to little incident balls aren't even often hit hard there unless it's a pull-heavy LH, but then these guys are playing short RF anyway and the talk of Coghlan as a poor LF now is completely unfounded, at best it's drawing from outdated memories edit: touching on this in a little further detail, team UZR/150 standard deviations: 1B - 6.2 runs 2B - 5.9 SS - 8.6 3B - 8.3 RF - 7.9 CF - 12.9 LF - 10 suggesting there seems to be less difference between the effect of a bad fielder at 2B/1B than there is at positions like CF & 3B

    eh, they're probably thinking it's an outrage that .440 SLG guy will probably win MVP based purely on name recognition and hype while the guy quietly slugging .570 gets snubbed

    just throwing it out there, Kris Bryant has a higher WPA than Mike Trout (good for 10th-best in MLB) if you adjust for leverage index, it's not quite so rosy, but Bryant still does lead all rookies

    add Manny Machado drop Chase Headley

    Schwarber tops that list http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2015?list=c if you clear out names that should rightly be off the top-100 list already (like Schwarber, Sano, Matz, Conforto...) then i think you find Contreras pushing his way onto the tail end of it

    Yes, his 2.11 ERA and 2.37 FIP over the last two seasons indicate that he isn't suited to close. this is in the mythical dreamworld some fans envision where Kyle Hendricks is our 5th starter, even when he's evenly paced Felix Hernandez for FI value for the past year and we have 2004 Eric Gagne to push Rondon down in the closer pecking order

    the Tigers prioritized pitching above all else, so no, we were clearly fucked there

    the prospect of replacing Castro's bat with Montero's is desirable to say the very least
  20. sneakypower
    i think it's just that Maddon/advanced scouting identified lefties as a problem area for some of those starters we've faced and stacked all the LH hitters atop the order to exploit that also, THE BOOK suggests the 4th-best hitter bats 3rd, though that's pretty old research
  21. sneakypower
    i'm very excited for this
  22. sneakypower
    Schwarber can't frame but he hits dongs; you take the bad with the good...
  23. sneakypower
    so they're a well-run organization (fyi, Panik was a 1st-rounder)

    and 2/2 in the rainout, so he only gets credited with 4/5 instead of his righfully earned 7/7
