    Yep, he accrued next to no service time as all his DL stints have been in the minors. This will push him back a season. I guess my questions are specifically: Does he have anymore options? When does he hit arbitration? (it looks like he has a little less than 2 years major league service time) When does he hit free agency? This is all off the top of my head, so somebody else can feel free to correct me. This is his 3rd option year, which I'm unsure on, gun to my head I'd say that's his last option. He won't hit arbitration until '10. He wouldn't be a free agent until after the '12 season.

    After walking about 1/11 PAs to begin the year, Corey has gone 144 PAs in a row without a walk. He hasn't walked since APRIL.

    Looks awfully white.

    If the Pirates are serious, and want to be taken seriously, they'd back up a dump truck full of cash to Sabathia's or Sheets's house this offseason. It might not work, but getting a Dempster, or someone along those lines as a backup plan wouldn't be too bad either.

    yes but under the rules that they played by during his era, offense was hard to come by, and yet he was very good at providing offense. it's not as silly as derwood's "everyone was very bad at baseball back then," but i don't think that different rules are a good reason to discount someone's ability as a player. offense was hard to come by? I picked a random "good" year by Anson (1884) where Cap had an OPS+ of 176. He had teammates with OPS+ of 152, 169, 150, 150 and 184. In 1886 (the year Anson had 147 RBI), he OPS+'d 178. Other teammates had 152, 117 and 191. That's just looking at his own teammates. does that mean the majority weren't very bad at baseball? It means Anson was on a really good team. OPS+ is relative to league averages, so saying that a bunch of his teammates had good OPS+s means little.

    wut? why would the 4 division winners all be mediocre or bad? I'm saying within a certain division.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    I think a battle of 4 mediocre-bad teams doesn't sound fun at all.

    Cardinals' pitchers' ERAs are about to shoot up.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    83-79? 101-92 sounds more realistic. Not for the Bulls.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Does that include CSN+? There are 2 games on CSN+, 2 games on WICU, and 1 game that is currently scheduled to not be on TV at all in September. That game is likely a TBD. It's definitely going to be on TV.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    Not necessarily. On average I believe it's true, becuase you're less likely to face horrible hitters in the 9th inning(pinch hitters)
  16. SouthSideRyan
    Nitpick, the Rockies were a half game worse than the D-Backs last year.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Brink of disaster?? Despite LemmeHearYa's claims, this wasn't a disaster.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    A pitcher can be bad even if he doesn't walk guys Lou.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Why did one of the lefties need to go. Not everyone who throws with his left hand is a LOOGY.

    Remlinger and JoBo were both DFAd. Hawkins was dumped in a trade. Sosa was dumped in a trade. Jacque Jones was dumped in a trade. Hendry's had no problem dumping players if he didn't feel they were productive. And regarding Eyre being an 8th pitcher in postseason, teams pretty much never take 8 bullpen arms to the postseason. 11 man staffs are the standard. You never have a use for an 8th guy out of the bullpen with all the off days.

    That doesn't really make much sense. Whomever finishes in second has the highest odds of winning the WC. The Yankees clearly don't have the highest odds of finishing second, Boston or TB do. Right off the bat the Red Sox can only win the wild card 57% of the time and the Rays 64% while the Yankees can win it 79% of the time. It's also, as I said multiple times, random ass guesses, not a simulation of the remainder of the season, just my opinions on the teams. Basically I've got the Rays winning the wild card ~1/3 of the time they don't win the division, the Yankees ~1/2 the time they don't win, and the Red Sox ~2/3 they don't win. I know it seems like I'm slagging the Rays here, but the Yankees are a better team now than they were 2 months ago.(Depending on Joba's shoulder) I think the Red Sox are too. I really think it'll be a close race between the 3 of them, and it's probably more my pessimistic side(it exists UM) that has the Red Sox and Yankees back in the playoffs again.

    If Mark Grace announced a Cubs playoff game, pretty sure I'd mute it.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I have 95% for the East because I think those 3 teams are clearly superior to their Central counterparts. The Yankees have the highest odds of winning the wild card because they have the lowest odds of winning the division, thus the most opportunity to finish in 2nd and win the wild card.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Ed Wade has outsmarted us all, pulling his team to within 7 games of the playoffs thanks to his deadline deals.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    You're joking, right. Green font = Sarcasm Thought we all were over that fad? Anyways, if Eyre is indeed DFA, would we be getting at least 1 decent prospect for him if we trade him? Hopefully the Yanks and Red Sox panic and overpay for him. Class A reliever I would guess.
