Sabermetrics: Prepare to be destroyed
tfarks replied to Formerly Snayke's topic in General Baseball Talk
Predicting pigeon movement? I got a guy for that. http://thebestpictureproject.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/a-beautiful-mind.jpeg -
Well, I don't think anyone thinks Castro is going to be a 30+ HR guy like those two. As to your question, hitting 31 doubles in 500 PA's in the big leagues at age 20, along with his swing and body type are pretty good indicators that he's going to hit more HR as he develops. I think you and I are on the same page, but I seem to get the impression (maybe falsely) that people DO think he's going to consistently hit 30 hrs a year. Where have you seen this? All the casual fans I know are just psyched that he hits .300.

Yeah I ran across that sale the other day and thought about grabbing the authentic BP jersey. If you get it personalized - a 13 on the back in this case, its $60 w/ free shipping as well. Seems like it would be a lot more comfortable than a replica jersey. I might bite today(sale ends today) since I'll be at Wrigley for opening day weekend.

I don't know what to take from his lowered GB rate because its spring training. But if its sustainable...with 100 more PA's in the bigs than he got last year, I wouldn't be shocked. But I imagine he will have to get a little lucky to get there.

Thanks UMFan. I somehow skimmed over that link. Those will work.
-
Bumping an old thread here. I'm looking to purchase a Castro jersey but looking at yuki and tarajersey no such luck. Is there a way to get his jersey from one of these cheap websites?
-
Yet Garza gets nailed by a line drive and isn't phased. Hendry wins.
-
And then waking up and asking one's self was the wicked witch of the east really that bad? Like none of us haven't thought about tyrannically ruling over some munchkins and sporting some sweet ass ruby slippers.

I'm in checking out the opening day tickets. Look to be slim pickings already. Maybe field box outfield seats would work.
-
Ya this line isn't moving.

Batting order minutiae: Castro 2nd, Ramirez 4th
tfarks replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Soto can't hit 3rd cause then Hill would have to hit 3rd. That's the rule. -
It sounds like Memphis pulled out. Good thing too-that deal with have been a minor loss for the Pacers and a major loss for the Grizzlies. Ya.
-
McRoberts is also a FA at the end of the season. So they can easily end up with nothing but a non-lottery 1st rd pick in a weak draft.
-
Pacers pick won't be in the lottery.
-
I really like this trade for the Pacers I don't know what to think of this deal. Didn't Mayo punch a teammate on a plane and get busted for roids? And he's shooting 41% on the season? Someone inform me please.
-
I love this team right now. And Tyler Hansbrough with 21 and 12, yes please.
-
Haha, good luck New Jersey.
-
Wow. They're really counting on Carpenter putting up another 200+ inning season.
-
Btw Reggie Miller not even making the cut as a Hall of Fame finalist is a joke.

Yes, we know.

Droppin' knowledge. I'm making it to Opening Day so just so I can be there for Kerry Wood's comeback debut.

Is this the support forum?

Can't read that at work. What happened? I also couldn't get on all day yesterday, phone(Safari), IE, firefox... -
Sheridan - Camp Colvin (A few minor leaguers got swole)
tfarks replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I always kind of assumed that when a writer says a player added 20 pounds of muscle they're just seperating it from a guy who put on 20 pounds. Which could easily be 20 pounds of fat. 20 lbs of muscle = bigger and stronger. I think its quite simple to gain some extra weight thats not exactly muscle when you're on a weight gaining regimen. Kind of like how a 250 lb NFL linebacker isn't all muscle. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was winning every Mr Olympia title he weighed 240 at 6'2", and thats about as close as possible to being all muscle. -
Thats some good value there.
