The more I think about it, the more I kinda want Monroe. What would a trade for him look like?

$42 now, but you can get a little off by preordering before Feb 15.

Ratings are based off Pecota. Ehh. Better than the Show's though lol. Are accurate MiLB rosters provided in release? International leagues are pretty cool. OOTP looks great this year. I've been debating on it for a while but I think I'm gonna pick it up this year.

-grumbles- this isn't the point i was making -grumbles-

Okay, I know what will finish this. You're saying that it looks better, but isn't actually better, right? And I think your Goins projection is too high but that's a matter I've already argued at length. Hech is probably better, but yes, it's close.

It would /look/ less impressive but it would provide the same value relative to his run environment. A .320/.370/.480 in one run environment can be equivalent in value to a .389/whatever. It's like how 25 homers in Citi and 35 homers in Chase can be similar value.

You pretend like you're a savant of park factors and ******** when you say that Hech's good season appears very good because of Vegas despite a wRC+ of 146. Do you know what wRC+ is, Olerud? Call it SSS. I agree. Say he had an inflated BABIP. I agree. But because of Vegas? You're just wrong. I didn't argue either way. The only thing resembling an argument was... That, which is talking about Steamer projections. You seem to think I'm arguing one side or another. No, I'm not. I don't care about Hech's sample size at AAA or skill at AAA versus Goins' or at AA or so on. I care that you're belittling Hech at AAA for the reason that you are. Because it was in Vegas. Even though, after adjusting for run environment, Hech had a phenomenal small sample size of PA, you say it's because of Vegas. That's what I'm bitching about Olerud, I'm not predicting anything, I'm not arguing one side or another, I'm just bitching about your faux knowledge of run environment. I'm also arguing that your 1.6 WAR projection for Goins is wildly optimistic. This argument has been rehashed so many times that I'm not even going to bother. Not even a week ago, I posted the ridiculous improvements Goins would have to make just to reach 1.5 fWAR. I may post that again with better math, but that's not my main point. Not what I'm bitching about, but good effort; way to read. Gold f***ing star.

Oh stop it with the Vegas boost. wRC+ is a thing. And Hech posted a 146 wRC+ and then a 106 wRC+ in AAA over like 600 PA. Goins had a 90 wRC+ in AAA. If this is you trying to use Oliver as justification... lol. Radio scouting ftw. Oh, only a 4% offensive difference and heavily regressed fielding for Goins, which, if Hech corrected his positioning, would make Hech better defensively AND offensively at a more important position. No. wRC+. Um, no, it's pretty f***ing wildly positive. LOLk

The Dickey to our Johnson/Reyes, kinda. Love. It.

We ask about every player in the league so

I liked Wallace a lot and liked Gose and was happy but didn't think there was a clear cut winner. Hasn't exactly worked out for either team, but hey, Gose could have some value this year, I think he's gonna be real nice off the bench.

said the other kid

Was it in off topic? You can embed videos there, for some reason.

Paul Beeston. Paul Beeston. Paul Beeston. There, I said it three times. *flies away and waits for Olerud post*

Fangraphs can be a bit of the pain in the ass for data for me too, yah.

at least i slept well

We still talking about baseball? The better pitchers who were on my school team around my age are at 75ish at most.

There is a popeyes around my school bless the soul who came up with that In other news there's a basketball game

Slightly older than me and I hit 75 on the gun at my best. whatamIdoingwithmylifeohgod

Good 'ol Spank

for someone who is repeatedly reminded of his teenagerness on this board it's really quite a mystery that people don't remember my age

yes

This is what I was wondering. Injury issues a la Hollon?

My two favorite things well f***

I feel like those two slip, but that might be wishful thinking, cause I like both.
