  1. Was this guy being talked about in another thread? I don't recall ever really hearing about him.
  2. Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference already standardized replacement level. That's not a factor anymore. If I recall, this was for offensive players only? I'm not neccesarily prioritizing FIP over ERa, I'm just pointing out that his FIP is just as good as his ERA. Verlander has a 3.59 ERA 3.50 FIP and a 3.86 xFIP and is only 0.3 fWAR behind Fernandez. [expletive]... Doug Fister has a 4.0 fWAR and he's at 3.66/3.27/3.52
  3. I know his minor league numbers were rough this season but we've got less promising arms in AAA than James McDonald. I'd snatch him up, personally.
  4. After his 7IP 1H shut down performance last night, Jose Fernandez now sits at a 5.9 bWAR. He has one start left before they shut him down. I'm having a hard time, however, figuring out why FanGraphs has him at a 4.2 fWAR only though. His numbers, even when you factor in FIP and xFIP, are tremendous. Feels like he should be valued more on FanGraphs than 4.2. His numbers thus far as a 20/21 year old...

  5. Settle down, Gary Thorne
  6. If Alcantara continues to progress and make good on those Rollins/Reyes comps, I think Castro becomes the big bargaining chip, personally.
  7. Yeah, that was my exact argument. My friend tried to say Machado was more valuable because great third basemen are harder to come by than great outfielders. That is true, but Trout is probably the best player in baseball now as a 21 year old. I guess a more interesting question would be if you had to pick one young pitcher, who would it be? well he's not that young, but clayton kershaw. i guess after that, probably jose fernandez, since matt harvey's arm is falling off. I think that's correct, though I'd throw in an honorable mention to Strasburg, still.
  8. Very recently (August 28th). Padres released him, Dodgers signed him.
  9. Considering he's not signed for next year there's no guarantee he'll be back
  10. Being talked about in the call ups/transactions thread
  11. Man it's crazy that C.J. Edwards has a 1.96 ERA and his FIP is still LOWER than that
  12. was intrigued, clicked and saw it was sano at bat, got very intrigued, read and saw it was a pelotero sequel and GOT SUPER RAGING INTRIGUED Never saw it. Guessing I should. I think if anyone likes baseball as much as we all do here they owe it to themselves to see that documentary. It's extremely good.

  14. Or we could stop caring about what happens to the Cardinals until we're relevant enough to compete.
  15. There was a flurry of waiver wires deals done today...
  16. Since no one has talked about it
  17. Brendan Ryan, I believe so. But the thing that stood out most to me wasn't so much the play as it was A.J. Pierzinski is slow as [expletive]
  18. That's Zebrahead. I really liked them when I was 13. Also the reason they're likely being used for background music is because they are pretty famous in Japan for whatever reason.
  19. 100? Hey man... shush
