    I think that has to do with the purging of posts that went on. It kept all of the post counts, but in the total number of posts it got cut. so the purging of posts modified the % but npt the total post count? i see... To clarify... Total number of posts at NSBB = cut by the purge Individual post counts = maintained At least that's what I think it is.

    I think Opening Day. I thought they can go X number of days back into spring training. I don't really know, that's what I inferred from other posts about the situation.

    I think Opening Day.

    Hairston, Bynum and Mabry serve a purpose. Bynum and Neifi do not. Uhh...

    Did Clement miss a start?

    Welcome! Your s/n reminds me, where has T2E been? I don't recall seeing him in quite some time.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    I thought it was at least partially telling that Neifi was the one sent to replace Lee in the game and not Hairston.

    Have Thanksgiving Dinner. ..ok, that was mean. I'm sorry. hahahaha
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Blame has officially shifted from Neifi to Gammons.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    No joke, I almost made this exact post.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, I for one am completely shattered now. If you need me I'll be curled up in the corner.

    When Haren and Mulder put up comparable numbers last year(Haren was probably better all things considered), and Haren is still only 25 and is under team control for much longer and cheaper than Mulder, I don't know how you can say that it's an even deal. Add in that the Cards added their top hitting prospect plus a serviceable ML ready arm, and it's apparent that they were taken.

    Gload isn't very good. Definitely not worth giving up someone like Wuertz.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a link where several systems were compared to UZR, and I believe Probabilistic Model of Range was the closest to matching UZR. When it comes to first basemen though, it's much more difficult to quantify given that their main task in fielding(catching throws) differs from other fielders(fielding batted balls).

    Do you really think Prior, Guzman/Hill, Pie, and EPatt for Teixeira is a good deal?
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm pretty sure you're the only one talking about the last two years, from the looks of the quotes. I don't have the time to calculate his two year totals, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's not worse than 32 other starters in the NL, which would make the 3/4 starter at least minimally true.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Because they don't really like Wilson, and can take advantage of an opportunity to get something for him before he leaves for Free Agency.

    Lidge's ERA+ was 181 last year; Dempster's was 136. Not exactly a fantasy when you, uh, you statistics. That includes Dempster's subpar time as a starter. As a reliever last year: Lidge: 3.12 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 12.45 K/9, .226 BAA, 3.00 K/BB Dempster: 1.85 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 8.18 K/9, .218 BAA, 1.96 K/BB Lidge was better, but it's not a landslide.

    Minute Maid has actually played as a pretty neutral park the last couple of years. This year so far it's the 4th best environment for runs. Sample size is too small, in my opinion. I'm not drawing conclusions about the ballpark itself, but Jimy used numbers from this year, so it's fair to point out that they are skewed by the ballpark thus far in the context that he used him.

    He was 6-4 with a 3.89 ERA post all star break last year. How in the world is that "really bad"? He was coming off a broken freaking elbow, and came back as good as any reasonable person could expect. That's not really bad. It's about No.3/4 starter quality. He's probably just frustrated that in addition to that, Prior had a 4.02 ERA the year before. That's cause for concern for a guy who was once one of the better pitchers in the league. Number of NL starters with an ERA below 3.89 last year: 24 That must be quite the pitching staff for it to be 3/4 starter quality. Any contending team who has a No.2 starter with an ERA around 4 has problems. First of all, using ERA as a black and white determinant is pretty crazy. FWIW, Prior's ERA all of last year was 3.67 Secondly, there are 16 teams in the NL, and Prior's marks(no pun intended) put him 19th ERA. He was 14th in WHIP, 12th in K/BB, 1st(by quite a bit) in K/9, 11th in Quality Start %, 5th in BAA, 9th in OBP against, and 12th in OPS against. If anything, he was a borderline number 1 starter last year.

    The Bucs have Eldred waiting too, so they wouldn't be creating a hole if they wanted to trade Wilson. Might be worthwhile since he's a FA to be and Tracy doesn't seem like him all that much.
