"More valuable" is an extremely arbitrary term. We've been discussing it for 35 pages. It's arbitrary when you ignore the number of quantitative metrics that favor Clemens when trying to determine how valuable a pitcher is. I'm not ignoring them. The metrics don't tell us everything, though. Last Saturday's match-up was a great example. Clemens pitched well, and came away with good "metric", and so did Carpenter. But Carpenter's contribution to his team was so much greater that it wasn't even a contest. The fact that Carpenter gave his team 9 solid innings (while Clemens gave his team 5), following the 13-inning affair the night before, is somewhat a microcosm of why I think Carpenter often helps his team more than the metrics tell us. I was waiting for the situational stuff to come back again. Guess who the "metrics" said was better on that particular night? Carpenter, he allowed the same amount of runs in more innings, it's not that hard to grasp. -
Carpenter is more effective that Clemens, Lidge, Izzy, Cordero..... everybody, in the late innings. And Clemens is more effective than Carpenter in innings 1-6.

Hmmm.... the number of runs you allow effects how good of a pitcher you are? Never thought of that one... So Chad Cordero is your man? And I thought it was Roger Clemens. To save everyone some time. One of us: No, Clemens has been a good pitcher for many more innings than Cordero. K-Town: Then Carpenter should be better because of his extra IP. One of us: No, even with Carpenter's advantage in IP, Clemens still comes ahead in cumulative statistics such as VORP or Win Shares. At this point K-Town will either go into some bizarre situation to try and denounce Clemens, or he'll go with the wins/team success route, ignoring the previous point. There, now we don't have to have 3 more pages of nonsense.

Awesome.

Well, if by second best you mean worse than Zambrano, Prior, Wood when healthy, and maybe Rusch too, then that'd be correct.

How's the dog's range in the OF(fetch)?
-
Personally, I just laugh, and then fall deeper into despair.
-
Call me crazy, but aren't Patterson's goals and the team's goals aligned, that is, success? This isn't basketball where someone says they're going to look out for themself and hoist 50 shots a game to the detriment of the team.

How could you pass up studs like Teyo and Koren? Gotta save something for the waiver wire. Shouldn't you be signing Alex Smith right now? No, I only go for Smiths that are good. And btw, I'll give you any player you want from my team during the offseason if Stallworth has over 800 receiving yards this year. It's in print now. Holt's going to look real good next to Owens. Don't get too excited. There is a greater chance that he is going to get injured and sit out half of the games than get 800 receiving yards. Like last year when he played every game and was 32 yards short of 800?

Speaking of which, what hat is Furcal wearing? It looks like half of the pi sign.

Everyone realizes you started making stuff up 5 posts ago. -
With my final pick, the piece that will surely propel me to a championship, I'll take Jeff Wilkins.
-
What happened to Maddux?
-
like if a boat falls on to the field? I laughed at this.
-
Pedro needs to get rocked, I'm facing him in my fantasy league's playoffs.
-
What, you think going 2 for 5 with a HR warrants more playing time? He can't hit for power.
-
Dusty is bad at making lineups.
-
Ron, can I ask a favor?

Thanks! Interesting, Greenberg doesn't seem to have much of a platoon split, although his numbers against LHP are a pretty small sample. -
Mr. Potesta, would you mind telling me what Adam Greenberg's numbers were this year vs. Right handed pitching, and vs. left handed pitching? If you have the info for last year as well it would be much appreciated as well.

Where is the "throw-up in my mouth" thread? Preston is no better than Burnitz, and Burnitz isn't any good. He's a $2 million 4th OF at best. I hate Wilson, and was never a fan of Burnitz, but consider the position. A .775 OPS out of CF is slightly above average. Now in Wilson's case it comes with a ton of K's, little OBP, and subpar defense, so I'd pass.
-
Wilson is 6th of 17 qualified CF's in OPS. EDIT: I'm going to see what his numbers are away from Coors this year. EDIT2: Away from Coors, he's put up a .240/.314/.441/.755 That OPS would be 10th of 17.

Hendry sees Cedeno as a starter in 2006

I'm not sure what the incentives are, but I think managerial incompetence has more to do with Neifi being at the top of the order than an extra PA or so to get him incentives.
