who struck out in AA/AAA about as much as adam dunn did in his MLB career And still managed to hit .300 with a truckload of home runs and walks. The tunnel vision with K's/whiffs with Bryant, I get it but it's getting taken beyond what it is. You can't make a single number pass/fail like that, with Bryant there's plenty of reason not to freak out about it. That batting average was also heavily Babip inflated. Soler, Alcantara and Baez combined to hit .299 at Iowa this year and like .220 in the majors. It is a steep jump, especially when you have big holes in your swing. I expect Bryant to be extremely valuable because power and defense, but I don't expect a high OBP guy.

Who whiffed on 36% of his swings in the PCL, a league in which Chris Rusin and Casey Coleman are considered pretty good pitchers.
-
MLB average is .315 or something. The rebuild can't be a success with Bryant as an average or very slightly better OBP guy with defensive value and insane power?
-
Billy Beane can just go die or run a soccer team or whatever because it is never, ever happening.
-
lol thanks for Russell guys
-
This is the night I finally give in to the idea that Billy Beane is cursed for the hubris of allowing Moneyball to be written.
-
Did Tim pay you to say that as some sort of subtle advertising?
-
Yeah yeah until a 95 win Cub team loses to an 84 win team in it We're never winning 95 games again.
-
I'm so happy for the Royals and their fans and so sad for Billy Beane. I don't know what to think.
-
Just another chance to remind people that the split wild card was the best idea ever.
-
So many guys like that, the game sort of fell back to their level in the post PED era.
-
It's weird to have your preferred two teams in a postseason playing each other in a one-game elimination to start.
-
1, followed by 2 closely, followed by 3 fairly far back.

There's no way they'd do it *four* times in a row, anyway...

.340, .350? I think both Bryant and Soler settle in around .320, .330 in the big leagues. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/2871481/lamont-spit-o.gif I think Cubs fans are going to be stunned when Bryant hits like .220 to .240 every year. He's going to be awesome because of walks and power, though.

so this is your new thing New?

I just meant I like him as a person. There's probably nobody left anywhere whose baseball opinions I respect.
-
I like Brett. I mean, he's a total apologist. But I like him.
-
comments on that article are about %50 from Kyle =D> And you guys think you have it bad.
-
Hopefully that means they do think he'll be better and they are right.

I was 16 and the pitcher abuse thing wasn't as prevalent as it was now (and I wasn't on any message boards like this one), so I didn't notice until Prior and Wood started getting hurt all the time and people started bringing it up retroactively as the reason. Retroactively my ass. I remember at the time seeing our guys being like 3 out of the top 5 or something (maybe that's exaggerated, but i'm not sure itis) in pitcher abuse points. I remember that Wood and Prior were 1/2 in pitches/start by fairly wide margin.
-
Screw you for not remembering things and assuming you do.

That was less rage-inducing than most of his interviews, but he's still being very careful to leave himself the 2016 "two-offseason" out. That's what smart people do when they say stuff. Smart people can be running baseball teams in bad ways.
