  1. We seriously need to have every single guy in the lineup practice bunting before they're allowed to take swings in the cage each day.
  2. I'm not so sure there's an erosion of skill as much as a balancing out between adjustments made by Jose and by the league. His true talent level is probably the 130ish ops+ we've seen the past 2 years. That may erode slightly going forward, but I doubt it'll be significant for a few more years.
  3. We really need a new outfield coach ... or smarter outfielders. Jose is the only one who can throw the ball in the right area code.
  4. I wonder if they could build some sort of raised platform they could place a few inches above the grass, and put the turf on that when the Argos play? Football games are spread out enough it's not like they'd be making the transition continuously.
  5. Honestly, the only two guys on that list that I think are of any interest are McCann and Ruiz. Most of the rest are basically backups at best. McCann is an incredible fit, with (according to the metrics) plus defense, elite pitch framing, and he's a middle of the order lefty power bat. I was surprised to read some articles recently saying that McCann's defense wasn't too good, and that he'd be a better fit in the AL where he could transition to the DH role over the next few years. Since I don't watch the Braves on tv, I don't know if that's true or not. The metrics don't seem to agree.
  6. Even if he was perfectly healthy, it would be hard to ask him to go 200 innings when he hasn't thrown more than 60 in 5 years. 20 starts is probably about all you could ask.
  7. It'll be interesting to see Jeffress in the 9th. He was putting up big numbers in AAA.
  8. Lind is going to see nothing but lefties late in games the rest of the season with the expanded rosters.
  9. Man that was a short swing by Eddie. Very pretty.
  10. Unbelievable that fangraphs has Lawrie rated as a negative defender this year.
  11. lol, I was just looking at that
  12. Yup, 0.6 WAR when he went down http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2013&month=4&season1=2013&ind=0&team=14&rost=&age=0&filter=&players=
  13. If Miley wasn't awake before, he is now.
  14. Edwin the lethal weapon strikes again. He's really gotta stop doing that.
  15. Lawrie and Rasmus are a 2nd baseman's worst nightmare.
  16. That is an incredibly cringe-worth lineup.
  17. I think word was that he has a problem with his knees, and it's not treatable. My suspicion is that he's overcompensating with his arm, and that's causing him to lose command.
  18. I'm not sure where to get wRC+ for minor league splits, but I find this interesting: (numbers from 2010->2013, vs righties / lefties) 2010: .285, .346, .385 / .217, .296, .261 2011: .290, .338, .424 / .266, .346, .351 2012: .299, .349, .412 / .265, .326, .381 2013: .287, .342, .399 / .205, .237, .295 Goins numbers vs righties during the last 4 years are incredibly consistent. Maybe he'll hit lefties well enough, maybe he won't, but his bat would appear to be a legit play vs righties. Maybe you play Izzy vs lefties and end up with an effective platoon at a decent price.
  19. I think most of us expect him to bomb, but he's untradeable right now so we might as well hope for a miracle. Not like these remaining games really mean a lot for us anyway.
