  1. *minuscule Get your head in the game, Keith.
  2. Dang it. I do that every time. I did it like four times last night when typing in his name to look up his current numbers. More Baez fun: AA vs. Lefties, 436/492/891 for a 1.383 OPS
  3. Kyle really was doing the best of it, i love his subtle digs at the pundits. nice work. They get on my nerves because they won't just admit that it's not a big coincidence that their opinions on prospects are almost identical to their opinions before the season, but they'll magically shuffle a ton in the offseason. There's 30 organizations. If you spend 12 hours a day, that's still less than half an hour per day per organization. You don't have to pretend like you know more than the fans on every single player. Cano and Baez are 10 months apart in age and playing at the same level. Baez plays SS, might stick there, out-OPSing his league by 50% Cano plays 3b, probably won't stick there, out-OPSing his league by 25% Walk fetish or not, Baez is the better prospect.
  4. I'm hoping he's just fatigued from starting all year.
  5. Back when he was about to come over, we did. It was interesting.
  6. I guess that is a little interesting, but I'm still not interested in pretending he reached "4,000 hits!" tonight.
  7. I'm not denying that it's possible. I'm just not sure why I should care that it's possible.
  8. So's your face. It's not perfect by any means, but it's been established for about 30 years that MLEs are roughly as predictive as MLB stats for immediate future performance.
  9. out of curiosity, where can i find this MLE calculator? http://mlsplits.drivelinebaseball.com/mlsplits/mlecalc
  10. I've been trying that on Mark Prior since 2004 and it hasn't helped.
  11. Time for another round of "plug Baez's AA numbers into the MLE calculator and extrapolate for a full season". 256/306/524 for an .830 OPS, 45 HRs per 160 games. With bad SS defense or average 3b defense, that's about a 4.5-win player.
  12. Line drive out to the outfield. Sac fly.
  13. Does that include his high school totals? Probably better pad those in, too. it's a pretty easy argument that he'd actually have more than 4,000 hits if he'd played in the US instead of japan from age 19. Paging abuck
  14. I want to do the same thing, but I want Javy to be the father.
  15. It's not, but there's a few others guys who could make the same claim. He's in that tier behind Buxton.
  16. I think he's going to chase down the league leader.
  17. Does that include his high school totals? Probably better pad those in, too.
  18. AA lefties should really not pitch to him.
  19. Commence three pages of Javygasms.
  20. That's way better than I'd have guessed. That's an old post. He's now down to 188/212/219
  21. That's the part I don't get. Was there suddenly a glut of .730 OPS, good defensive outfielders on the market so that everybody is full up on them?
  22. We managed to trade Feldman for two pitchers who are both simultaneously outperforming him in the present and have brighter futures. Dang it, Theo, why you gotta give me glimpses like this.
  23. I still don't understand it. Presumably, if we just wanted to save money but he did have trade value, he could have gone before the waiver deadline. So this either means the Cubs FO is stupid, the amount of money they needed changed since July 31, or DeJesus had no value.
