  1. Maybe you and Goldbull are outliers. We should throw out those two results, and award me the best draft
  2. I don't think most of them get American citizenship, but citizenships from other countries. It's the work permits that could be more of a problem, but sports teams don't seem to have issues with that.
  3. You should trade him to me as damaged goods. Problem solved!
  4. Looks like Drouin is out for the next 4 weeks.
  5. I think in general you're correct. I don't see how you could account for enough to get meaningful results regarding game calling. The catcherFX data COULD be useful in evaluating framing though, as it might help show whether the pitcher should share credit for the framing results or not (regarding how well they repeatedly hit their target). The other major factors should be relatively easy to account for (umpire familiarity with the pitcher, pitcher stuff, pitcher reputation via previous success and control).
  6. The lack of a quality bench was one of the biggest issues. We just didn't have the ability to deal with injuries properly, or to deal with the necessary platoons. Fortunately having Mayberry and Valencia could go a long way towards helping that next year. Even more so if Izzy returns and is in superutil role. The pen was unfortunate, but it also wasn't something we really could have addressed differently. The lack of depth was.
  7. That was a fantastic at-bat by Pompey. I still want us to resign Melky, but Pompey in CF and Gose as the 4th outfielder would be just fine with me.
  8. Whenever Yahoo lists him on the IR. Who knows when that will be (probably sometime before the rosters are cut down irl).
  9. I would really hate to face the Oakland / Detroit pitching staffs in the playoffs. Maybe you manage to eek out some wins, but your offense is probably in a slump the rest of the playoffs regardless.
  10. No way am I wasting the #2 claim on anyone left right now.
  11. Yeah, this was about sticking up to help the player. Gibby has to do it.
  12. Yeah, maybe the dropoff isn't as severe. Also, a lot of the high skill guys don't rely just on speed, which is the thing most likely to decline quickest.
  13. Yeah, I had Galchenyuk in the queue. Think you nabbed him right before me. It's a bit of a risky strategy, but I think the young hockey players also tend to be safer gambles than baseball players are.
  14. Part of my thinking was that if I have to rebuild in baseball eventually (not for a few years at least), getting a feel for things with the hockey could be valuable. Also with the later picks and the high draft pick I had, it made a certain amount of sense.
  15. I made one small mistake in the draft (accidentally selected the wrong guy in a later round). Pretty happy with it otherwise. Now whether my strategy was smart or not remains to be seen in a year or two.
  16. Cliff Lee might be a good comparison too (of a player with similarish stuff figuring it out late, not that I expect Happ to improve to that degree).

    Heh, Canucks training camp: Blind dodgeball... There's a joke in there somewhere. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=731299&navid=DL|VAN|home
  18. I don't know about an extension atm, but Happ has a 3.71 xFIP in the second half and 4.01 on the year. That's pretty sweet for a 5th starter.
  19. Man, that'll make some highlight reels. Great play by Pompey!
  20. If anyone is looking for help on D, Seidenberg and Markov are available.
  21. He's not THAT bad. Apparently he'll be playing with Zubrus and Elias (who he's friends with). If he stays healthy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him put up 20 goals and 60 points.
  22. Havlat would be available
  23. Good job! I wonder why the fonts look so different from the BBDL one? Looks like they're the same chosen font and size. Must be the new google docs compared to the old ones.
