  1. Are the Rockies #1 now? Yes, but it's all on pitch-framing.
  2. It seems like most guys have extreme splits while they are there and then level out to something more normal once they leave.
  3. It was pretty great when TT put together a spreadsheet for projecting 2012 wins and if you tried to make LaHair the starting 1b it'd just tell you "no."
  4. http://www.csnchicago.com/cubs/what-miguel-montero-trade-means-cubs Gosh it would be so much fun to believe in Theo Epstein again.
  5. Hope Javy is recruiting for us :-) Javy sent him a text and addressed it to "John" and Lester was touched that Baez took the time to get it so close to right.
  6. that was so awesome. part of me almost wanted him to finish it. i can't believe he's still playing. I was 8 years old when he helped torch the Hawks in the Final. I can't believe that.
  7. Those projections are sometimes screwy as hell and not at all gospel, btw, but they're good about updating every time someone makes a move and it's fun.
  8. The Fangraphs depth chart projections now have Montero as our second most valuable position player behind Rizzo at 2.3 WAR in 383 PAs (the catching total at 3.4). 3 games behind the Giants for a playoff spot and 0.2 behind the Brewers for third.
  9. I don't have a problem with Baez not being a starter next year, but not in favor of @#$@# white Ronny Torreyes. Get Headley or trade for another infielder.
  10. They were trying to win baseball games and thought he might help. They were wrong.
  11. If Ross really wanted to be here or something, I could see him taking a split deal and then bolting after ST if we don't have a job for him.
  12. Farewell, Mejia. We'll always have this moment:
  13. It is if you believe Montero's contract pushes him into negative value. Well then stop believing that. Problem solved.
  14. References to Tim and airplanes Tim pretending there's a front page.
  15. in what world is mejia a very good prospect? Is this a trick question? All prospects are very good. Because they're prospects. Prospects!
  16. Are you and the jukebox cousins? Is it racist that I asked that?
  17. I'm either happy or sad depending on what Lester signs for, how we follow up on it, and what would have happened in alternate universes where we don't sign him.
  18. I'd love it if all the teams in on Lester just simultaneously went to plan Bs.
  19. Saying "ballgame" in the game thread and not caring that I'm the only one that finds it funny.
  20. "go eat a sandwich by yourself"
  21. Anything can be worth 5 wins in highly specific circumstances. Nobody's expecting the difference between Castillo and Montero to be five wins every year.
  22. nacho cheese sauce machine
  23. Win shares were always dumb. From day one. Unless you're taking the position that pitch-framing is completely irrelevant, then we can all agree that fWAR for catchers is suspect.
