Around Baseball 2015

Tori Hunter's too old to bend down and get a roller lol

[Boxcar]

lol nolasco

[fatcowxlive]

The Twins OF is pathetic today lol

[Atothe]

Who is playing centrefield for the twins? That guy shitted the bed

[Angrioter]

Sure, similar peripheral profiles offensively. But you don't HAVE to walk a lot to be good. See Adam Jones.

 

Harrison projects to be a decent hitter. Even if you correct his BABIP from 2014 and you make him like a ~.275 hitter, his WAR would still have been quite good.

 

Harrison production depends too heavily if the ball falls or not on the glove of defenders #BABIP (Jean Segura 2013 Vs 2014)

[Atothe]

Joe West's neck is bothering me, stop showing us third base

Every pitch Brett Lawrie say last night.

 

Bat waggle looks dimed in those hot white pants

Lots of balls in play.

 

If it doesn't fall in a lot, then he'll be unproductive.

 

But if it DOES fall in then he'll be SUPER productive!

 

Works both ways

Juan Francisco signed with a Boxy country team.

 

Good luck in Japan.

Then, you'll be hoping the luck be with you.

 

Correlation between BB% and RAR

What about correlation between past and future RAR?

 

Or projected and actual RAR?

Jose Capellan died of a heart attack

It's probably a pretty easy argument to make that Jose Bautista is already the greatest Blue Jays position player ever, considering how much value he's actually provided in as little time as he has, but in terms of historical value, he's just a few games away from passing Barfield into the all-time top 3:

At the rate he's going, it probably won't be long before he climbs to the top of that list, despite having played fewer games than nearly every other guy on there.

 

Side note, I never noticed how Delgado/Fernandez and Wells/Moseby pretty much provided almost exactly the same amount of WAR in almost exactly the same amount of games.

I chose Delgado, Halladay, Stieb and Bautista (I think he'll have longer impact then Alomar, even though Alomar won a ring)

[Angrioter]

Jose Iglesias 3-3 (.833 AVG)

Jose Iglesias 3-3 (.833 AVG)

 

I wanted to acquire him last season, but you can't trade players on the DL I think?

 

Do we have anyone that can replace Reyes in 1-2 years?

Delgado, Fernandez, Halladay, and Stieb for me. Tony's defense was just a pleasure to watch and his time with the club was great.

Projected to tie Fernandez by the end of this year, and in only 968 games! Crazy.

 

Hopefully he stays with Toronto for the rest of his career, slides down to a 1B/DH, is good until he's ~40, and flirts with HoF numbers.

I really hope we can win a championship with bautista here, he doesn't have a lot of time left, such a great player. Unfortunately looks very doubtful.

You can trade guys on the DL.

Fernandez over Bautista, come on. Defense wasn't so ridiculously good (like Ozzie Smith) to put him over Bautista

Let's not jinx it, he's aging gracefully and I fully expect he retires a bluejay

Agree, and it's not even close, Joey over Fernandez by a lot.

Tony "Cabeza" Fernandez is my godfather. Tony's older brother was the best ballplayer, but injuries (Guarionez Fernandez)

I went with the exact same four. Doc, Stieb and Joey are easy picks for me, then it becomes a toss-up between Fernandez and Delgado. Went with Delgado just because he spent more consecutive seasons with the Jays and because dingerslol. That four homer game is one of my best baseball memories ever.

f*** off Dozier.

Nice of him to leave a lasting memento before Riccardi ran him out of town

Sanchez is just cruising, no fight in the twins

[TwistedLogic]

Filled out a Yankee one too, went with Babe, Gehrig, Mantle, Mariano.

 

Funny story: if you duplicate Roy Halladay's Blue Jays career into a Yankee uniform, he'd actually be the third best starting pitcher in Yankees history.

Roy pitched just under 3000 innings, CC Sabathia has pitched more
