    04/03 - 10/01 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Cedeno 534 51 131 18 7 6 181 41 17 109 0.245 0.271 0.339 0.610 Perez 236 27 60 13 1 2 81 24 5 21 0.254 0.266 0.343 0.610 I think they were equally bad, no? Not that it makes much of a difference, but based on that, I think Neifi's OPS is .609.

    I would. Zito will play his home games at AT & T Park, Lilly at Wrigley. Zito will be in the NL West with its share of pitcher's parks, Lilly in the NL Central. Petco is the only true pitcher's park in that division. LA has been well below average, but that's a reflection of the crappy offensive teams they've assembled lately. Dodger Stadium was top 10 last year, and Juan Pierre aside, it should stay that way with the influx of good young offensive talent. AT&T is about average, but Coors and Chase are still 2 of the premier hitter's parks in the game. Is Coors still a premier hitter's park with the humidor (I haven't looked at the numbers)? Interestingly enough, yup. Thanks.

    I agree. Just need to look at the Steelers game from last season when their speed was limited in the snow. But the B & B debunking needs to be looked at carefully all the same, to make sure their observations indeed hold true.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not even Pedro Alvarez or Matt Wieters?

    Well, two of the minor league teams made the playoffs. Many others were over .500. That's the sort of thing they're rating in the "Minor League" section. Talent level got a well-deserved C.

    Why is that? He'll be 22 this season, hardly an unprecedented age to start in the big leagues. He's stopped at every minor league level. And he's got 426 pro innings under his belt. That's almost as many as Rich Hill. I really don't know much about the guy, but on the surface, it doesn't seem that you need to be high to think he could be MLB ready this season. Have you seen him pitch? He's not ready. He's barely spent any time in AAA and he didn't exactly dominate. He's not blowing anyone away with his stuff and doesn't have good command of a third pitch yet. He needs another full season at AAA. Full season? Nah, he just needs to show more consistancy with his curve - his change and FBs are fine. That won't take a year.

    Of course, over the past 10 years, the Bears have had an equally good team from year to year. Of course a bad team is going to be bad whatever the weather is - and the Bears have been bad for a majority of the past 10 years.

    Don't forget the flexing the arms penalty, guys. Silly Urlacher for flexing.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm sure he won't.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, saw this one coming from a mile away. The Giants sure are a strange organization.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, Pat. I bet that's why Posey took him out in the playoffs last season...because Hinrich does it "all the time." :roll: Oh, ESPN mentioned the Wade injury and the Riley comment, didn't mention a thing about what Posey did.

    Can't root for USC, don't want to root for Matt Moore and Oregon State, so it'd be really nice if Cal won a game for the Pac-10.

    Certainly, Alex Brown has outplayed Ogunleye. And sacks aren't the only way to judge a defensive end - they certainly are important and UMF nor I are taking away from their importance (we're not saying "sacks don't matter" and we're not taking the Blache line). They're just not the be-all, end-all of a defensive end.

    One step forward, two steps back for Dorrell. Another pick for Cowan
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sigh.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ben Olson better start next season.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    7 on a short field after the Markey fumble, 7 on a pick-6, 7 on a punt block.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Game. :x
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Nice lefty pass.
