    You should include in your reminder posts who has submitted them and who you're missing them from.

    Well, maybe equal to what he did in the first half of his career.
  3. Abomination
    EE is one of only 4 qualified players this year with more walks than strikouts. The others are Scutaro, Aoki, and Callaspo, none of which are power guys.

    Put his head on Gose's body and we'd probably have Rickey Henderson with a little better d.

    Loving Bautista taking a page out of Pedro's book on having fun with fans.
  6. Abomination
    I seriously doubt anyone did. Most people probably picked Lind

    If things break our way, we could be in line for the 5th pick after tonight.
  8. Abomination
    The Brewers are winning, we might gain another spot tonight!

    ... and JPA still can't lol

    Thanks King, very interesting read.

    Oliver may very well have requested to stay here (I'm assuming unless it was back to Texas). As for Davis, if we don't plan to re-sign him again then I agree it's stupid not to move him, especially with all the injuries teams have right now (although perhaps he was claimed by a team trying to block someone else and offered nothing).
  12. Abomination
    Even worse, to do it right you have know the trajectory of the ball and the placement of the fielder before it was hit (and this is information we won't get until the introduction of fieldfx).

    I don't consider an apology delivered via a 3rd party to be legit. At least it's a start though.
  14. Abomination
    Is it due to ball movement? If so, it could be both!

    Stats like xFIP aren't really designed to suggest how well the pitcher has pitched for a particular team, stadium, or league. They're designed to attempt to place all pitchers on a level playing field (by only taking into account data that the pitcher has somewhat direct control over) and evaluate how well each would have performed relative to each other if they faced the exact same batters, in the exact same parks and leagues, and with the same defense behind them. We can't use xFIP to tell us what Dickey's numbers SHOULD look like this year pitching for us. To do so is a misapplication of the statistic. You would have to take something like xFIP as a base and scale it based on the ratios for the teams he's faced along with park factors and team defense factors or something.

    Which probably means we'll blow them out (if the game gets played)

    Somehow I lucked out and missed this thread the other day, but I would like to say that I encourage people to come up with ideas for new stats, etc. If you think you found something that could work, compare it to other stats and advanced metrics, find it's strengths and weaknesses, etc. Think about why it succeeds or fails in certain areas. You may learn something in the process, or you may stumble across something interesting in which case everyone learns something.

    They had him if Lawrie could have held on to that.
  19. Abomination
    Oliver here scares me.
  20. Abomination
    Holy crap Lawrie!!!
  21. Abomination
    And now left the game
  22. Abomination
    If Buehrle avoids that really bad start he had, he's probably going to provide surplus value even with the big contract. I was concerned about him in the AL East, but overall he's doing just fine.
  23. Abomination
    It would have to be Goins I would think, since he's on the 40 man.
  24. Abomination
    It seems like we can either have fundamental baseball OR home runs. Why can't we have both?
  25. Abomination
    Looks like we can add another to the walking wounded list.
