Sabremetrics vs. Intangibles: Which do you value more?
chuckywang replied to chuckywang's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What if both players were the same age? Who would you take? -
IMO there is about a 0.001% chance of Crede coming close to maintaining his current level of play. This is the very definition of "time to sell high". Sure about that? His BABIP is actually lower than his average this season, which means he's getting unlucky.

Then replace it with VORP and OPS+. -
Suppose you're the GM of a young baseball team in the middle of a playoff chase (think Diamondbacks last year). It is near the trade deadline and you have your choice of two players with the same salary. Player 1: He is a veteran and has been to the playoffs many times before. He will give credible advice to your younger players, and he acts like a winner around them. He carries himself well and handles the media well. After his playing career, he has coaching written all over him. Player 2: He has slightly better stats than Player 1. He will have a slightly better SLG% and OBP%. He also has a slightly better fielding percentage. However, he is younger and has not been to the playoffs at all in his career, though he is certainly not a clubhouse cancer. So, in essence, Player 1 has better intangibles and Player 2 has better all around stats. Which player do you choose?

Trash of a feather flock together.

How does So Taguchi have the muscle to pick up that bat?
-
Anybody actually been to an am/pm? Is it as good as Sheetz?
-
Dancing stormtroopers? Brilliant!! I'd rather watch that than this game.

Christ ... we're gonna get 1 hit.

What the hell is with the random cheering?
-
Everytime Burrell makes contact, I feel like it's a HR.
-
Looks like Hamels does not have his best stuff.
-
Where is Ryan O'Malley when we need him?
-
And of course Feliz hits the HR.
-
Cubs must be feeling like John McClane by now. Same crap just happens again and again.
-
Chances we see more than 3 pitches this inning? I say 10%.
-
Take a bad route on it and fall as you catch it? Bad route? He was running in a straight line the entire time.

The Fukudome drop was the big play of the night. The Phillies seemed to carry that momentum into the 6th where they took their last lead.

Don't Diamondback fans have anything better to do? Please tell us something we don't already know.

Game Thread is really quiet without Fred

Soto is slumping. 0-2 in his last 2 AB's.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Haha! That was actually my contribution. There are a few other jokes in that wiki article as well.

Brett Myers's wikipedia page is chock full of references to his proclivity for domestic abuse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Myers I'm thinking of adding some more.

C'mon Giants ... don't blow this.... -
Precisely the reason why I want the Cubs to light up this loser.
