    False. I wish it lasted until late March.

    No one's work has been good under the Cubs since '02. I have no problem with him leaving, given his age and lack of ties with the team but most likely he does still provide good evaluation skills despite the Cubs as a whole not performing up to par for the last 10 years. He's been bad at his job for 10 years, and you're disappointed to see him go?

    Wouldn't grabbing 2 (Or even 1?)of TCU, Louisville, or WVU put the final nail in the Big East football conference? So much for that meeting of the minds 2 days ago.

    Could you point me in the direction of his body of work with the Cubs?

    Man, Mizzou sticks out like a warm bag of feces in that group. lalala can't hear you I think he's saying that they're the only one of the four that would actually accept a big 10 offer. Their graduation rates are WAYYYY too high for the Big Ten. Paige Laurie got a diploma and never even entered the state!

    I can't imagine that's true.

    The best way to determine a decline is not to look at one year in a player's career - you need something to compare him to. Here's the comparison for Aramis: 2008: .898 OPS/149 games played 2009: .905 OPS/82 games played 2010: .745 OPS/124 games played 2011: .867 OPS/147 games played In 2 of the past 4 seasons he's missed significant portions of the year - 38 games in 2010 and half the year in 2009. For the first time since 2008 he was very healthy this year, and managed an OPS 30 points below his most previous fully healthy year. Defensively, UZR/150 has had him getting consistently worse every year since 2008 to the point that his UZR/150 this year was -10.0. I realize UZR isn't gospel, but it's something to consider. Aramis may come out and have another good year next year and be fully healthy, I'm not saying he's a definite to break down next year. However, there is a very real risk that he may repeat his 2010 season or even his 2009 season rather than 2011. That risk needs to be factored in when considering giving him big money and the fact that he's going to be older next season than he was any of the past 4 years (obviously), that risk only goes up. B2B's point is pretty awful, but you can't just look at Aramis's raw OPS and call it a day for his offense.

    Whose laps? Neifi forgot OU and Mizzou want to join the ACC too so they can have things they can recruit North Carolina.

    Are you talking about in general on the season, or are you judging him on 40 ABs? (Against varying levels of pitchers) His overall progress. ???? He put up his best #s since he was 18.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    Erm...

    He didn't understand why high school prospects are more of an unknown when you draft them. He suggested that statistical analysis means "I want this guy because he has 120 RBIs" He suggested that the statement "High school pitchers have more injury risk" is the equivalent of saying "College pitchers never get hurt." He dismissed, out of hand without the slightest interest in any evidence, the usefulness of AAA stats in predicting major league performance. While throughout the chat, complaining that stats guys were dismissive of scouts.

    That list is absurd. Missouri blows Texas Tech out of the water, academically. As does KU. I have literally never heard of New College of Florida. Wikipedia has informed me that they don't give letter grades.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    At least they don't drop out.

    Clemson #10? BZZZZZZTTTTTTTT
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Well here, we're celebrating.

    No HJ for Mr. Ricketts over this Gooney?
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Crazy talk. Who would believe such a thing? Oh wait If the ACC's letting them keep the NBC/Versus contract, then obviously it's the right move. Nobody's said otherwise. It'd certainly be a dumb move for the ACC though, even with the fact that I consider ND the #1 prize in the conference shuffle. If ND becomes a full ACC member with no extra benefits than Swarbrick has failed in a way Kevin White couldn't even imagine.

    Nah, Lopez has gone 7-8. That's the record of all others besides him. I've got them at 5-27. POINT REMAINS. Agreed, I've been preaching that stat all year, but Gooney keeps yelling at me.

    Him being a not good pitcher probably.

    So here's our great football package we're selling you ESPN. But wait, THERE'S MORE!!!! You have to show Iowa State and Kansas football games a couple times a year too!! *Earns a trillion dollars*
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Yes. Having Iowa State in your conference takes away from your power.
