    More interesting in this is trying to guess who the ptbnl will be (we should actually have a contest for that). It's really hard to gauge Boni's value right now, but he didn't make it too far up the waiver ladder. You have to wonder if someone yet to clear waivers might be a primary target (like Wade Davis since Ventura is probably ready), or someone who's stock seems to have fallen like Christian Colon (although I assume they wouldn't make it ptbnl if that was the case). Fun note: This trade gives the Royals two Bonifacios...

    Not Buehrle. Happ just pumps almost nothing but fastballs in there. He doesn't have one dominating enough to do that.
  4. Abomination
    I didn't even notice that. That's awesome!
  5. Abomination
    Nice hit, but it seems like EE should have made it to 2nd.

    Not to mention a key injury in the next 3 weeks could make a team really desperate for someone who has already passed through. Perhaps that would get us a "b" prospect where at the deadline there was likely nothing.

    Would you want to give 100% effort in your job if your employer said he was looking for someone to replace you? There's a difference between babying people and treating people with respect. It also, as I said, gives the club a chance to gauge other team's interest in the players with no repercussions.

    It makes sense. If you put everyone on waivers, no one's feelings are hurt. It also gives the club a chance to gauge other team's interest in various players.

    Baseball-reference has them http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=oliveda02&year=2013&t=p#dr

    Maybe they've identified something else they wanted to work on with JJ. Combined with the off day, they could give him 2 throw sessions this way.

    I don't think I've ever seen the ump take out a handful of balls before and let the pitcher select one

    Edwin
  14. Abomination
    Not really. He kind of lightly shook his arm a few times.
  15. Abomination
    I really don't like the Jays current policy of 100 pitches max. No reason for Buehrle not to go to 115 or so today.
  16. Abomination
    Edwin if it isn't too late
  17. Abomination
    Rivera just coughed up another lead. Back to back blown saves.
  18. Abomination
    I love seeing Lawrie asking everyone about the pitchers and getting all the info he can

    Have you looked at Granderson's defensive ratings in center? They moved him for good reason. Colby has been well above average. That wouldn't make it necessarily the right decision to leave Colby at center if Gose came up, but the situations are not the same.
  20. Abomination
    It's nearly impossible to say. Are the A's pitchers so good because of talent, or because of the confidence they gain playing in a park that massively favors the pitchers?
  21. Abomination
    It feels like we don't have many that just sneak over the wall. All of ours seems to be into the stands. I haven't looked at a home run log for the distances though.
  22. Abomination
    They really need to fix whatever happened with the stadium (windows removal?). The ball has never carried like this before, although it was still a good hitters park. The more we see that replay, the more I think the runner was out.
  23. Abomination
    Edwin

    If you really want your jammies russled, go to ESPN's stats and take a look at dwar for all Jays players (this should make people hate baseball reference's WAR even more, which I think is what they use). Interestingly, after looking closer at some of the numbers, Boni might actually rate positive defensively overall if you take away the ~50 innings he's played in center field. Removing the first 2 weeks or so of the season when he was a gong show at 2nd probably puts him above average defensively there too on both B-R and Fangraphs. Now if we could only get that horrid bat going. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/fielding/_/name/tor/cat/defWARBR/toronto-blue-jays edited: Included the link to ESPN's dwar.

    I wouldn't put much into that. Without fieldfx the defensive metrics are all extremely flawed. One way to evaluate that is that last year Angels pitching gave up a 17% line drive rate (one of the best in the league). This year they're giving up 23% (one of the worst). Now I know those metrics attempt to incorporate that, but it's impossible to do so with the general categories they're restricted to with current data collection. It's likely (although currently impossible to prove) that last year Trout faced a lot more easy catches, while this year he's facing very few. That would impact his overall numbers through no fault of his own. Last year his defensive WAR was probably too high, this year waaaaay too low. Just my opinion.
