    oh yea, I was FreeSoto back in my PlayPie days. I signed up for the league before getting activated here so I don't think I ever posted who I was
  5. Vanilla Ice
    This is the real lineup?
  6. Vanilla Ice
    Lawson, Green, and Ellington all coming back makes me want to cry. How do those three and Hansbrough all come back?
  7. Vanilla Ice
    Wow, that's exactly what the Cardinals do. except, he would continue his tear

    So a pitcher can't hit for himself, even if he wanted to in the AL? Guess I never knew that. I would think that the pitcher could be named the DH

    How is it dumb? It's obvious some pitchers are great unless in the save situation and then they can't handle it (LaTroy anyone). If you think the save is dumb then you have to think the win is dumb for starters (or loss). Why does it matter if they win or lose. All that matters is how many innings they pitch and what ERA they have. Same can be said about home runs. Who cares if he hits it over the wall all that matters is how many runs and rbis he gets throughout the season. Yep! This is correct. But I have to take issue with what Golden Thunder said. Most of us here know how flawed/superfluous the save stat is, but those who are paid to talk baseball, for the most part, do not. So, it is a little surprising that no one is talking about this because, no matter how silly it may be, sports writers and ESPN anchors normally eat the stuff up. Maybe this is a little more evidence of a growing east coast bias, where even things that would normally be a big deal aren't being reported because they are on the wrong side of the country. It's worth looking at, and certainly open to debate past the whole "the save is stupid" comments. OK, I shouldn't have said that people are realizing it

    I still don't like him, and am fully expecting a decline back to terrible numbers

    I think we'll take two of three from the D-Rays. We'll definitely take the second game. We'll be able to squeak one out against Kazmir or Shields but not both. My Centsports betting advice of the day- take the under on this game

    because people are starting to realize how dumb the save "stat" is

    I don't like Rocco Mediate

    As pointed out with Edmonds, career batting average is not indicative of what kind of hitter Zambrano is today. And where Edmonds is in a down trend at the end of his career, Zambrano is in an up trend in the prime of his career.... Going by the stats you posted, Zambrano raised his average .100 in 07 from 06, and as of now he's raised his average another .100 in 08 from 07.... Again, in an uptrend, he's hitting right around .290 the last two seasons. just think guys in a few years hell be batting like .700

    i think Patterson is a pretty good choice too. However, the use of BA in AAA is useless because Murton has 50 points of OBP on Patterson. Patterson does have the higher slugging percentage and higher OPS, but AVG was a bad stat to use
  17. Vanilla Ice
    probably going to be another half-hour
  18. Vanilla Ice
    well played
  19. Vanilla Ice
    Ugh, mods please lock and delete his name. We're all going to blame him when we don't win the WS. I was going to blame CT
