    i find it hilarious that the article says the rockies are trying to trade him to the dodgers, despite no indication that the dodgers want him. "hey mariners, trade for jason marquis. no, come on, do it."

    the biting sarcasm in all of them (especially soriano) smacks of christina kahrl. she's my favorite bp'er.

    Of course, that kind of proves to me that the lineup analyzer is not good. If you plug in the 8 exact same players and the OBP guy, I find that if you put the OBP guy in the 9 spot, you'll score 6.295 runs per game. If you put him in the 6 spot, that same lineup will only score 5.203 runs per game. If the 8 other players are the exact same, why would putting your best player in the 6 spot result in over a run less per game than putting him in the 9 spot? There's absolutely no way that can be true. This exercise makes me trust the lineup analyzer a lot less if it makes bad decisions like this. the obp man gets way fewer plate appearances if you bat him ninth. since he's your only great hitter, that makes a big difference. Exactly, which is my big problem. The lineup analyzer says that the OBP man would be much better batting 9th than 6th. How does that happen? he won't be better, he'll just get to bat more since he's higher up in the lineup. this isn't difficult.

    this isn't the best way to do this, but if you put each of those guys into the lineup analysis tool at baseball musings, and put them in lineups with 8 league average players (338 obp, 423 slg), the ideal lineup for each will give you this result: obp man = 6.43 r/g slg man = 5.56 r/g

    : ( i would like our basketball team to be good again Yeah that was fun. I may have had the best 4 year run to be in school for though, so there's that. PS, I'll be in Champaign this weekend, sleep with one eye open. if anybody punches you in the back of the head and runs away before you can do anything, it was me

    despite the things he says, lou pretty much just always does the most obvious thing. i remember last year, any time he'd mention a somewhat unconventional idea he'd like to try, he'd go through with it for like two days and then reset back to normal.
  11. treebird
    wouldn't the exact opposite make more sense? tell everyone that the 5 best starters make the rotation regardless of age. if lou's really doing what you're saying he is, he's trying to motivate the young guys while telling the old guys to take the rest of spring training off.

    +1million Anonymity goes a long way to making someone a jerk jamie, your name isn't on that post, you must have forgotten to sign it The fact that you are readily able to know my name goes to prove that I am in fact not anonymous nor am I attempting to hide my name. If the contrary were true, i could very easily have never given my name on this website +1million -2million love, Jonas P. Quadworth Salk III

    everyone who is complaining about bad luck despite the fact that he or she is trying to buy tickets just to sell them-- i hope your computer explodes and shards of plastic enter your eyeballs a slight toned-down version goes for those who are having success buying tickets just to sell them.

  25. treebird
    NO NO NO NO it would be really hard to get equal value for hill, and this trade would not be close to doing it.
