    So don't double switch and let Rusch hit. He's better than the alternatives if you aren't going to use Walker.

    What does one run below average mean? It means that in 10 games Macias played at 3rd, he cost the team 1 run compared to an "average" fielder. This year they project him with 37 games at third, and being three runs below average in that time. Kelton, anyone? Not sure if you were asking, but in his last stint at 3rd base, 29 games in '03 for Iowa, BP has him 6 runs below average. Thank you. Just curious... I wonder what the combined defensive and offensive numbers would be for Kelton vs. Macias. Of course, I'm pretty biased; I think Macias should be summarily executed if Hendry won't release him. Just kidding about the release part. Like VORP? Kelton projects at 2.8, Macias at -2.3. Of course, that considers Kelton strictly as an outfielder, so I don't know how his 3rd base defense would affect that total. Not enough to drop him 5 points is my guess though.

    BP 2005 says that Macias was one run below average at third last year in 10 games, and predicts the same rate this year.

    When Ramirez was hurt I think he might have come in at 3B a time or two. He was also a late inning sub for an OF, but I can't remember who.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    Do you doubt that Rusch(or Zambrano) is more likely to help the team than Macias and Perez in that situation?
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Nope. Zambrano.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    You have no idea of the carnage that game thread starting can cause. I'm pretty sure Serena PM's the people who are upcoming when it gets close to their turn, although there may be a different procedure this year.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    a: macias b: perez c: holla A and B are correct, but C is wrong.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    More statistical fun... 3 Year Splits vs. LHP Player A: .247/.271/.360/.631 Player B: .241/.273/.355/.628 Player C: .244/.261/.422/.683 (2 year splits: .297/.315/.513/.828) Who are these guys?

    Anyone read the Cub Reporter today?

    This might be the first time in history anyone has talked about "saving" Neifi's bat. And I can see why you're not disturbed by Dusty's PH philosophy: you share his exaggerated respect for L/R matchups. Yeah, Neifi can swing a bat left-handed, but he is REALLY bad at it. Well, I mistakenly thought we had used Hairston. And I think Neifi is Teddy "Ballgame" Williams compared to Macias, so I would 'save' him if all I had left was Macias, LOL! I think the L/R matchup thing is pretty widespread. I'd say it's very widespread. I think Dusty is one among almost everybody on that one. Some like LaRussa are constant stat-checkers, but most believe strongly in the L/R thing from what I've seen. L/R strategy is conventional wisdom, that the lefty will pick the ball up better vs. a righty, and vice versa. However, when you have a lefty who cannot hit right handed pitching(Macias, Perez) and a righty who can (Hairston), it doesn't make sense to play the L/R matchup.

    :lol: Fun Fact of the Day: Adam Dunn now has 20 more career HR than John Kruk.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    I know. It sucks. :( Adam Dunn tracker: .500/.500/2.000 2 HR 5 RBI 0 BB 2 K 568 at bat projection: 284 HR 710 RBI 0 BB 284 K Those numbers are pathetic. Check out the Dmitri Young tracker: 1.000/1.000/3.250 3 HR 5 RBI 568 AB projection: 426 HR 710 RBI
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Out of curiosity, I wonder how this compares to the crunch that other systems have?
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    My goodness the Cavs are bad. The starting backcourt of Snow and Newble has to be one of the worst on a playoff caliber team ever. PLAY VAREJAO AND PAVLOVIC!

    Sorry if this post shouldn't be here, but wouldn't it be more fair to have all the entries PM'ed or emailed to someone, then have them all displayed after the deadline?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well, sure, when you have someone "Chaney" Shaq, then it's not so bad. :P Kudos to the Bulls for getting 2 wins out of that stretch. At least my Cavaliers beat them. Speaking of the Cavaliers, they got rocked by Indiana tonight, real bad shooting night. They add Jiri Welsch at the deadline, then he plays 5 minutes while Newble gets 35 and Snow gets 23. :wall:
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cavs are average away from home. They beat the Bulls by 22 when they visited the Gund the first time. I actually could get tickets to this game, but I have baseball and probably homework.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Who do you think they'll beat besides Charlotte. That's the 3 best teams in the conference aside from Detroit, and playing all 3 in 4 days is a daunting task. I really think that the Bulls can beat pretty much any team in the league on any given night. That's true of any team outside of the 10 win trifecta. Beating Miami, Cleveland, and Washington on it's own isn't a huge deal, but all 3 in 4 nights? IMO it'll be tough for them to pull one out. I don't really see how playing them on back to back to back nights will change anything. I think that they can take Cleveland and Washington. Miami will be though. I dunno. I can't see them winning in Cleveland the night after Miami and a plane out to Cleveland. Washington is their best shot IMO. Of course I'm a Cavaliers fan, but you can't argue with the results. Miami is very very good, and the Cavs have the 3rd best home mark in the NBA. With Cleveland not having a game the night before, the odds are really stacked against the Bulls to not start 0-2.
