60 PA's ... easy 6.0 WAR player if we give him a full season. Although that's nothing compared to Gose's 30 wins over 600 PAs

Regression to the mean.

[NorthOf49]

Gose is leading the team in dWAR... and he's only played three games lol.

 

Also, Troy Tulowitzki is already at 3.1 on the season!

That's another 1 WAR right?

[Daniel Labude]

Why is Gose back in the minors?

Just like Honda's and yellow stickers +HP.

 

It's so disappointing we have guys like Francisco, Melky, Hutch, Buehrle, Thole playing so well, and we can't take advantage of it.

[Angrioter]

Why is Gose back in the minors?

 

Because a team conformed with "No-option players" is a much better team. JFas could enlighten us better on the subject.

Now that Gose has burned his last option we can go with him next year. Team is set!

Progression to the mean is one of my favourite phrases ever. So much dumn in only 4 words.

Examples such as this show that WAR can be flawed when used in specific ways.

 

Don't get me wrong - WAR is probably one of the top 3 best metrics to use, but it's not exactly a gold standard with immunity. No stat is.

How do they even arrive at the offensive and defensive numbers let alone war ratings. defensively bautista is our worst outfielder, Edwin is our worst infielder and Gose in 3 games has provided more defensive value then lawrie! Huh? How even? Holy crap even Diaz is better then Lawrie even! Somebody got some splain'n to do! Hmmmmmm

I love how people like to use past statistics to map out a players career when he is 26 years old lol. I guess we should have pulled the plug on Edwin and Jose because they were pretty s***** players in there early 20's. The guy has talent. He strikes a lot we get that but hes not having horrible at-bats and he can mash a baseball. Hes the kind of guy you want to take a chance on. Saber nerds need to take a break for awhile. Yall ain't qualified to judge s***.

 

Did see what Ang posted. He's getting lucky and walking below league average while striking above league average. He may succeed but its likely. Trade him for a young controllable right handed bat. Move on

I'll bite. There is no such thing as progression to the mean. Everything regresses, whether positively or negatively.

You are beautiful. The very definition of it. Your long hair, your perfectly toned face. Could it really be that you are perfect? I had a dream of us holding hands miles from here, breaking free of this world, loving truly, the span of a moment, pure love unleashed. And As we stare into the bright light of the moon and time passes without remorse, I know that this dream has come true. We slowly go to sleep as each of us holds hands. I wake first the next morning, noticing your head on my left shoulder and how your smooth, long hair flows like a river over my arm. You sleep so fair, so quiet. With every breath you take I notice more and more that yes, you are the one. I caress the locks of your hair ever so gently. Smooth like silk. You suddenly awake, and smile to see that I am the first thing you see. We talk about things that don't matter, but I really could care less. You are the best I will ever have and I think, no, I KNOW that I am the luckiest man in the world. Oh Takara, a maiden so fair. Your imperfections are perfect. Your voice is melodic, like that of an angel. Your beautiful eyes ever so entrancing, your skin as smooth as that of a newborn's. We are trapped on this island, but neither of us could really care. We are happy, and that is all that really matters. As I stare out into the ocean waves, I imagine our future. Bright, like the sun. We are the perfect couple, and both of us know it. We love each-other unconditionally, and our love is everlasting like the very universe we inhabit. We are never sad, always happy. We never argue, only love. You wish to bear children, but I cannot bring myself to think of polluting something that is so innocent. This does not stop me however, of thinking of how those beautiful beings would be. Three boys, all with the eyes of their mother and the nose of their father. They would be mischievous but we would love them all equally and unconditionally. I would teach them how to fish, and hunt, you would teach them how to love. We would name them; John, Isaac, and Thomas, and they would all grow to be strong and intelligent. As you and I grew older, our love would never wane. It would be as strong if not stronger than the day we both met. With every kiss, every embrace, our love would grow one hundred times stronger than before, and it would further strengthen our already unbreakable bond. I sometimes ask myself if such a vast amount of love could make a human immortal? I certainly hope so, living eternally alongside you would be everything I would ever need. If I could make a wish right now it wouldn't even be for you to fall in love with me, but for me to get the opportunity to meet you. That alone would make my life already one that is fullfilled... I had a dream. Sadly, that's all it will ever be...

Thanks for the update. Francisco's been a valuable piece so far. Good to see, maybe he'll keep it up and they'll let him play some more games at 3rd.

[guylaroche5]

Knowing our management they will play him a third everyday moving Lawrie to second base and just have Edwin and Lind play 1B and DH.

 

that sounds like a f***ing pretty good idea if francisco remains consistent

[guylaroche5]

But we downgrade 2 positions defensively. For more homerun power which really isn't our issue.

 

i'd take that tradeoff if it means keeping goins/kawa/getz off the field

I don't know. Goins is pretty awful, it might work out.

That poster is probably magic puppy so if you like asian men go for it.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Using WAR in-season is dubious at best.

 

Why? I get small sample size, but Francisco's been pretty good. Why is that bad?
