    http://boydsworld.com/breadcrumbs/teamleaders.html (bottom of the page) Some pretty disgusting totals up there. 193 is the worst but its hardly the only ridiculous pitch count. Scott Moore of Texas State also had a 169 outing and numerous others weren't far behind Moore.

    The only one I have strong feelings about is Greenberg, who I still invision as a perfect backup outfielder. I'd also like to keep Restovich around in case someone struggles or goes down for the Cubs.

    http://baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=4774 Pie comes in at #29, Hill at #47. Cedeno and Patterson are honorable mentions.

    Hmmm, he's already 23 and has never shown much power or a great ability to get on base. Seems to me like a roster filler but you never know.

    I really like seeing what Sickles has to say given that he's a respected analyst who's outside the Baseball America influence. Here some things that interest me: Ryu at 5th. Most people consider him a pretty low end prospect with the potential of a middle reliever, but here Sickles is making him the second best prospect in our system. Perhaps its his polish, still young age or nearly 3/1 K/BB ratio at West Tenn last year, but Sickles obviously sees something from Ryu that other publications don't share, and I find that to be interesting. Holliman and Phelps 14 and 15. Sickles gives a lot of love to the 2005years draft picks with Pawelek 1 and Veal 6, but it's good to see some favorable rankings of Phelps and Holliman. Scott Moore over Ryan Harvey seems questionable to me just based on raw ability, but Sickles is very low on Harvey, and for good reasons.

    Program glitch?

    Boras and Brownlie did their best to play down the injury, but ifrom from reports of his last starts and a conversation I had with a scout who saw him that his velocity had lost a lot and a more serious injury was a real concern.

    Wow, what a serious of trades for the Indians. Mota is more valuable than Rhodes, Michaels is similar to Crisp and then they add top prospect Marte and Shoppach for backup catcher Bard a solid reliever in Riske. Wow.

    I'll go with physically talented C/OF Yusef Carter as my main pick. Russ Canzler (.814 Mesa OPS) would be my #2.

    IMO, Hughes comes off as closeminded and uninformed on the "other" side, probably the worst of the 4. Bane and the non-McCracken stat guy come off the best, and McCracken doesn't tolerate the other side much at all. Personally, I don't have a problem with either of them being closeminded in their current positions. Hughes specializes in scouting, McCracken in statistical analysis, if I'm a GM I would want them giving me the input from their standpoint before making a decision. I'd be less confident with Hughes as a GM but I think he's such a good scout that his franchise could be sucessful in the Braves, Marlins, Twins mold.

    I don't see any of the current AA/AAA prospects being ready to start at second in '07 unless EPatt has an incredible year. A lot will depend on the performance of Cedeno as to how the middle infield situation will shape up in the future.

    From those reports and from the Oursportscentral.com story, Perez strikes me as the prospect with some potential, while Gregg seems like more of a roster filler. A number of things interest me about Perez: 1. He's left-handed and an "excellent athlete" 2. He has decent velocity especially for a lefty 3. Good hits ratio indicates that he might have something solid offspeed or really good movement 4. He's still relatively young- at 23 he won't be that old for High-A/AA It should be noted that his first half numbers for Winnipeg were quite bad, but perhaps he changed something after goign to Chico. But of the three arms, he is certainly the most promising.

    I agree with most of the predictions, but I think Theriot (or maybe even Rojas) might start at short and Lewis get another shot at second and see Fontenot primarily start at third with Craig DHing and McGehee at first. But for the most part pretty much what I'd say though.

    Not if Lefty and Walter have anything to say. I think a pretty good case could be made for the Rocket. If nothing else, I'd easily put him in the top 5 all time. I certianly wouldn't argue with top 5. Johnson Lefty Rocket Pedro ?

    What about Choi for Lee? Signing Walker? (Although his current actions aren't good) Damian Miller for Michael Barrett? Certainly not his best moves, but I don't think these are the worst moves ever. Pierre and Jones have shown ability in the past; again, they aren't great, but not the end of the world either. I'd say this is Baker's fault. Macias is a decent 25th man on a team, but Baker didn't use him properly. Why is Augie playing backup shortstop for Iowa such a problem? Robert Novoa, Scott Moore and Bo Flowers. Not a bad coup at all. I'll give you this one, although very few people said that when he was originially signed. I'll give you this one too. Hendry's biggest fault so far has not been getting Baker off the team. He's made some other not so great moves (Remmy, Bellhorn for Hernendez, etc...) but I don't think he's a bad GM. I'd put him in the middle of the pack as far as GM's go.

    Pretty good deal by the Brewers. They're taking on some contract but they get a plus defender who has shown a potent bat in the past. For the Jays its a salary dump to help pay for Glaus.

    Here are the statistics of 6 actual pitchers with very comprable statistics. 3 of them are in the HOF and 3 are not. Your job is to pick based on their statistics, who deserves the Hall of Fame and who doesn't. Try not to look up who these pitchers are before you rank them; if you recognize their statistics try not to let your previous biases figure into your decision. Player A WP% ....W.. L IP ...H...

    i never said that clutch pitching was fictional, just clutch hitting. pitchers, i believe, are subject to "clutchness". I don't understand the logic that pitchers can be subject to clutchness and not hitters. Hitters are subject to the same pressure as pitchers, and they too can have their mechanics falter as they try to press.

    I wouldn't have a problem with a Walker for Wilson swap. Wilson happens to be a stathead favorite, someone who draws a boatload of walks and hits for a power. In about three full seasons worth of play (1593 at-bats) Wilson has hit 81 home runs and 162 walks (plus 81 HBP), while maintaining a respectable average. Wilson would add much needed depth at a number of positions, in fact, I'd rather have him starting than Jones, although I doubt we'll see that.

    The issue of Tejada's clutchiness led me to remember an article by noted Sabermetrician tangotiger who argued that clutch hitting was a slight yet detectable skill. One pertinent quote from the article: Another sabermetric support of clutch hitting came from Andy Dolphin. I personally agree with tangotiger, that clutch hitting does, in fact, exist, although its effects are generally small and most claims of clutchness are generally exaggerated.

    What about Honus Wagner's 1908 season: Year Ag Tm Lg G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB BB BA OBP SLG 1908 34 PIT NL 151 568 100 201 39 19 10 109 53 54 .354 .415 .542 The league average was .247/.308/.318. He led the league in avg, obp, slg, xbh, hits, sb, 2b, 3b, rbi. All of this from a shortstop who was one of the greatest defensive players of all time.

    Comment: I doubt Mateo will be able to stick on the Cards 40 man the entire season, he'll likely be returned by the end of Spring Training. wouldnt he have to stay on the 25 man roster to remain with the cards? You're right my mistake. I also offer my most sincere apologies for disgracing this board by referring to it as the Rule V instead of Rule 5; I will make sure never to make such a terrible mistake again.
