    1. I don't care about ERA. 2. I don't care too much about WHIP. 3. The last column actually hurts your case. I understand why you don't care about 1 and 2, but I don't understand why it matters since there are no other stats out there that is gonna put Santana behind any other pitcher in baseball. ERA+ isn't an end all stat, but it's tough to ignore numbers that high. Also, what other start pitches 200+ innings and keeps his WHIP under 1.00 three straight years? It's sick. I'd give up a lot for 220 IP and 250 K's, even if for just one year You're right we can't ignore ERA+. Jake Peavy had him beat least season. And had more Ks. And had a lower WHIP oh come on, we both know you're smarter than that. Using one year to determine worth? Here let me try: Santana had an ERA+ of 161 in 2006, while Peavy's was 99. I win!

    They are Meph's projections of the projections. in other words, they are nothing Ok. you care what Meph thinks someone else will think will happen this year? i love how you post in all of these threads that you don't care about. it makes me laugh. i know you do

    1. I don't care about ERA. 2. I don't care too much about WHIP. 3. The last column actually hurts your case. 1. why? 2. why? 3. why? how about his 4.96:1 K:BB ratio over the past 4 years?

    Santana, last four years: 182 ERA+, 0.921 WHIP, 228 IP 155 ERA+, 0.971 WHIP, 231.2 IP 161 ERA+, 0.997 WHIP, 233.2 IP 130 ERA+, 1.073 WHIP, 219 IP no one can touch that

    it's close to night and day. maybe twilight and day No it isn't. I'd take Peavy over him straight up. You would take the lesser pitcher. And Peavy is the only one in Santana's league. and pitches half his game in the best pitcher's park in the league. ETA: Peavy was actually pretty much the same away from PETCO, thanks to an OpBABIP 55 points lower on the road

    it's close to night and day. maybe twilight and day No it isn't. I'd take Peavy over him straight up. Peavy is not available. Bedard and Santana are

    I was going to make a mock-ad for the White Sox with this image, but I ran out of steam. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/news/2002/09/19/royals_whitesox_ap/lg_spectators_ap.jpg

    i'm certainly bored with the lack of sports right now, but i don't know that I could get into baseball in january. baseball = spring/summer i feel the same way about the April scrimmage games in college football and August NFL preseason...just can't get into it when it's at the wrong time of the year

    2007 Derrek Lee -- PECOTA -- .288/.369/.527, 21 HR, 64 RBI, 70 R -- ACTUAL -- .317/.400/.513, 22 HR, 82 RBI, 91 R Mark DeRosa -- PECOTA -- .278/.338/.427, 10 HR, 49 RBI, 51 R -- ACTUAL -- .293/.371/.420, 10 HR, 72 RBI, 64 R Aramis Ramirez -- PECOTA -- .299/.362/.564, 35 HR, 107 RBI, 92 R -- ACTUAL -- .310/.366/.549, 26 HR, 101 RBI, 72 R Alfonso Soriano -- PECOTA -- .287/.349/.569, 39 HR, 110 RBI, 104 R -- ACTUAL -- .299/.337/.560, 33 HR, 70 RBI, 97 R So yeah, I guess PECOTA is sorta kinda close to predictive, but it's really useful for conversation and not much more

    so these aren't actually PECOTA predictions
  15. Derwood
    yeah, that wasn't much of a hug. the least she could do was give you some boob-on-arm action

    it's the same system that had teams like South Florida ranked #2 in college football

    just make special "collector's edition" SuperBowl jerseys, where the Pats where, say, mustard yellow and the Giants where kelly green

    Kerry Wood still looks super weird to me. His weight loss looks like he's a cancer survivor or had a skin graft to fix 3rd degree burns on his face or something. he just doesn't look right
