    Most elite pitchers don't show an exceptional ability to prevent hard contact, not sure how Hoffman will be any different in that regard.

    There might be some evidence to say Hutichison pitchs worse with Runners on and that causes him to underperform his peripherals, but the extremeness that has been going on this year is just straight up ridiculous, he's much better than this.

    Jesus, I didn't realize he was only a positive 0.4 WAR to this point with a .380+ wOBA and a .437 babip. The eventual regression could get pretty ugly.

    I'm just surprised other teams haven't already invested in this kind of technology. You've invested millions of dollars on guys to throw for a living, I would figure you'd do everything possible to ensure they minimize the wear and tear on their arms.

    I don't fully disagree with people who say that minor league stats can be misleading. There are definitely examples of guys with mediocre minor league numbers that became successful major league pitchers. For some it was because they were working on a specific pitch (ala Johan Santana and his changeup), or were experimenting with grips and expanding their repertoire (Jacob Degrom) or something clicked and they figured it out (Ricky Romero). But there were usually signs when they got up to the majors that they were ready to succeed. Sanchez's problems in the minors haven't gone away at all in the bigs. He's so far avoided looking like a disaster because he has avoided hard contact. but it remains to be seen if that's a sustainable skill for him.

    Ideally none of them would be starting right away, but at least Travis and Norris get everyday roles in positions that have proven harder to fill. And they had a chance to play above A ball and get some experience against higher level competition before the majors. Osuna and Castro have 30 combined innings in high A ball. Serious value as in then pitching in high leverage situations and succeeding. If they're in mop up duty, what's the point of calling them up so early?

    It would have been aggressive to promote these guys to AA ball, let alone the majors. Even if they are ready, the jays could have held Castro and osuna down for 2 weeks, and they'd get an extra service year. There better be serious value gained by having them pitch another 5-7 innings each in the majors to start the year.

    Sanchez has a 47% first strike rate and a 6.7% swinging strike rate People need to calm down about this improved command

    Before today's game Bases empty: .340/.417/.472 Runners on: .333/.429/.667 RISP: .316/.458/.579

    Is this real life?

    "Santana was examined independently by Dr. James Andrews on Oct. 28 and had MRIs performed on both his elbow and shoulder. Andrews, according to Santana’s agents, said the elbow was “completely healed.” "

    Its probably at least partially due to umpires expanding the strike-zone http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-myth-of-the-passive-hitter/

    I lol'd hard at this one

    JPA is basically Miguel Olivo without adequate defense
  17. sachmo55
    2011 was a major anomaly, it was the only year he produced a wOBA over .292
  18. sachmo55
    Sadly, this may be the best move AA has made this season

    lol, I found it in 10 seconds Searched "I ran a regression" http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-bluejays&tid=87627

    But can he use his regression to prove WAR?
  21. sachmo55
    Umm, Steven Wright is a knuckleballer

    Interesting thing I noticed with Lind's splits this year vs his career Career Slug through 3-0, 3-1, 2-0, 2-1: .485, .513, .537, .450 This Year through 3-0, 3-1, 2-0, 2-1: .000, .133, .353, .324 Career Slug through 0-1, 1-2, 0-2: .421, .385, .321 This year through 0-1, 1-2, 0-2: .536, .447, .493 Also, Strikeout & walk rates in hitters counts are significantly higher this year I know a fair bit of this is variance and just noise, but how does this bode for projecting Lind for the rest of this season and possibly beyond that when his abilities to hit in hitters/pitchers count will move back toward their normal ranges?

    Its almost unbearable reading, its like a playground argument ... absolutely devoid of logic
  24. sachmo55
    Worst part is that their Front Office is so damn good that they'll keep winning and that message board will never have to understand their own ignorance
  25. sachmo55
    The ignore option here is so beautiful lol
