Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-20-2006
imb replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Man, if Veal and Gallagher both make it to the majors as productive starters, what a coup that would be. -
What was a joke?
-
Well, then he's confused, or the Cards have hired mongoloids in their "stat geek" department.
-
Not one "stat geek" would honestly say that Neifi Perez is better than Derek Jeter. No one thinks that, on either side of the fence. You're either confused or making it up.
-
No, those are the stat geeks that have said that "Neifi Perez is the worst player in major league history". You don't even know what you're arguing. "Don't know what goes into their numbers"? You're just making up nonsense.

Free Agent Pitchers
imb replied to questionmarkgrace's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Dude, just target cheap, decent AL starters. Bring them to the NL and watch them dominate. I'm certain that Meche would be great in the NL Central. -
No, the contract is assigned to the claiming team in a waiver deal. Really? I thought that was only if he were picked up off waivers? This was a trade. Neifi passed through waivers and was traded.

Are we paying any of his salary? If not, score. If so...score.

The problem I have is that you are doing that exact same thing. Only not with stats. You don't like sabrmetrics because they "can make a bad player look good"? You're trying to make Cesar Izturis sound like a decent player because of his defense, which, while admittedly good is only what, ten percent of the game? 20 percent? Whatever it is, it's not enough to make him a valuable player. In the end you're doing the exact thing you're railing against, using conventional baseball wisdom (instead of statistical analysis) to make a bad player look good. Studying and using stats don't make bad players look good, it exposes bad players.

How can Ou still be ranked that high? Bad ass defense, best running back in the nation and a stable of talented receivers? Look, Bomar had talent, and surely would have had a nice season, but last year he only tossed 10 TDs to go with his 10 picks. And we still beat Oregon in the Holiday bowl, and without that phantom loss in Texas Tech, we would have been 9-3. All that with the toughest schedule in the nation. If it were up to me, OU would be between 15-20 in the polls, but you know how pollsters do. There isn't a legit number one team in the nation at this stage of the year, so the polls are going to be kind of wonky for awhile.

2.1 Million dollars for a 16 year old prospect (SF Giants)
imb replied to questionmarkgrace's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
16, 6'2 200? yamahama -
You lost me. It's only important for the leadoff guy to get on base. Oddly enough, OBP isn't even a fantasy baseball category. "Basically, everything you know about baseball when you are fourteen years old, you know from baseball announcers. Here was this guy [bill James] who was telling me that at least eighty percent of what baseball announcers told me was complete bull(edit), and then explained very convincingly why it was." - Voros McCracken.
-
Should we draft up to the top again and then go to waivers? Or do you guys want to go back up to the top, down to Raw and then go to waivers?
-
You lost me.
-
I think it was explained quite well already -- ARod was the superior player at that position. Pretty simple, actually. If you think the hatred for aRod is bad now, imagine if he had taken Jeter's position. If I'm the Yankees or a Yankee fan, I don't care if people hate one of my players. I only care for what makes my team better, and Rodriguez playing SS is that. Is that even true anymore?

Wow, just owned pujols.
-
hahahaha i love zambrano, even when he screws up just dont hurt your leg
-
uhhh
-
Disagree. Yeah, there are actual pitchers who actually fit into our actual plans for the future, let's give those guys as many starts as possible. But, good for him, it was a nice bright spot in a dismal year.

take that fat roger

everything about this is wrong

I still think that Marmol would be a very good closer
imb replied to CuseCubFan69's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The thing is, you cut out a walk or two per nine innings and marmol could be a terrific starter, why waste these early, inexpensive years by making him into a closer? -
