Last year has nothing to do with it, that's why I told you his cumulative two year OPS was .865. I was using '06 and '07 because he combined to play 2 half seasons, was a full time outfielder, and that wasn't his career year in a hitters park playing DH like last year was. -
That completely depends on how healthy he is. If he plays half of each season' date=' is that still a great deal?[/quote'] In 2006 and 2007 combined, Bradley played 157 games and was worth about $19.9 million dollars. Link Are we still using that? This is the same formula that said Willie Harris was worth 14.6 mil last year. Not to mention he's almost certainly not going to have a .999 OPS here. Bradley had an .865 OPS in '06 and '07. Also, his value is tied to offense much, much, much more than Willie Harris, and there's much, much, much less room for debate with how accurate the offensive metrics are in measuring value.

Marty Brennaman hates Adam Dunn
Transmogrified Tiger replied to 17 Seconds's topic in General Baseball Talk
I think this showed up somewhere earlier this offseason too, but it's great enough to make fun of again. My favorite part is "Home runs are incidental" then in his next breath he says "Adam Dunn is paid to hit home runs". -
I think you'd be better off addressing the topics that are present rather than trying to discredit the people who have opinions on those topics that you find irrational.

All I've read is that Bradley's option is tied to his health, and that he could still miss a significant amount of time(i.e. nothing about 2010 impacts the 2011 option) and still vest his 2011 money. I think it's Cubs option if he plays less than 250 games in the first two years. I'll try to find the exact number. But seriously, aren't these constant complaints about every late signings pat the point of ridiculous already? 250 games over '09-'10 sounds a lot better than what I heard, which is what Dexter said. If you can find a link that'd be a great help. And like it or not, there is a logic to being upset with Hendry for not holding out a little bit until the market was less saturated to see if a better deal could be had(especially with the payroll restrictions he had). Personally I wouldn't be comfortable waiting until a week before ST to do something as major as get my starting RF in order, but if others are they have a right to think Hendry should have done so.

Bruce Miles: Five Key Issues Facing Cubs
Transmogrified Tiger replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Having Guzman as an additional fireman(assuming he's effective) would be tremendous. It would keep Samardzija in Iowa as an additional rotation option, and give another option besides Marmol if Gregg were to piss off Lou. I'd worry about his workload though, so hopefully he can earn his way to a consistent role without a Marmol-esque usage pattern from the beginning of the season. -
Joel Guzman is a name I haven't heard in a long time. What happened to him these last two years?
-
lol at the indignation of the mexican player at a bottle thrown near him
-
I didn't see a good replay angle. Is Howard limping because of the collision, or did someone stomp on him when he was covering the ball?
-
Who was that with the awful cross-field "clearance"? Pearce?
-
I'm disappointed Sanchez has beaten us before, it would've been awesome to keep him winless. Pedro Gomez just called Albania a city.

Abreu to the Angels?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Abreu has very little to do with Miles, you can't expect Hendry to think "I'm going to wait on adding a crucial part to my team because the market might unexpectedly tank". The problem is 1) Signing Miles at all, 2) considering Miles a crucial part of a team, and 3) paying Miles 2/5 regardless of the market conditions. -
Abreu to the Angels?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
In the infield you either make the play or you don't. In the outfield you can actually catch the ball, you can save extra bases on plays you don't, and you can throw out runners. Especially given that, I'm not sure there's significantly fewer chances in the outfield. -
Abreu to the Angels?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Taken from discussion on GRB: "Looking at Dewan's +/- numbers, this doesn't look like such a great deal. Over the last three years, Abreu is a collective -52 in RF (ranking 32nd, 32nd, and 34th among all RFers over the last 3 years)." -
I'm trying really hard to make sense of this and figure out who Mike is, and I'm coming up with nothing.

There's a significant defensive gap between Abreu and Bradley. -
Andruw to Rangers

Jones got yanked in the middle of a game for not running out a ground ball in his last couple years in Atlanta as well. -
Abreu to the Angels?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Bradley every time. even with Bradley's health concerns? Yes. I'd rather gamble on Bradley's health/the performance of his replacement than on Abreu's age and defense. -
Here's a cool site that aggregates a bunch of bracket predictions(54 right now) to give the average seeding for each team listed. http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm

Bradley every time. -
Looper is gonna hate pitching in Miller Park with the Brewers defense behind him.

We bring back like 5 points/game of interior scoring. Maybe we'll attempt 50 threes in a game next year.
