    JP Arencibia in 72 games: 0.2 WAR Hernandez in 17 games: 0.4 WAR One's a #Top10Catcher and the other will be playing in AAA, lol

    I wonder what Janssen's edge% is relative to the league average?
  3. sachmo55
    Whats your point? Stanton went 0-15 in his rehab stint and has gone to post an 1099 OPS in the 10 games he's been back Weak attempt bro, weak attempt

    To be fair, he was dealing wih John Hirschbeck http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/why-does-john-hirschbeck-hate-left-handers/

    Fangraphs wrote an article on this topic (After Verducci claimed that Sabermetrics has caused hitter to be too passive) They found that over the past 20 years, hitters are swing at the same number of pitches and are making similar rates of contact, while pitchers are throwing similar (if not less) pitches within the strike zones (computer defined strike zones), but strike outs and called strikes are up. The possible solution they came up with is that the strikes zones are expanding. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-myth-of-the-passive-hitter/

    Career 1st half: 814 OPS Career 2nd half: 615 OPS Lets hope he can finally buck that trend

    Im intrigued by this too. In the long run, I'd imagine consistent and inconsistent players would provide the same true value to the team (in terms of generating wins). But over the course of a single season, a steaky player could possibly make or break a team depending on when their streaks occur. Would it worth paying a slight premium for one over the other? Another question would be, is inconsistency consistent (i.e. are streaky players forever steaky, or is it mostly just perceptual biases)?

    Don't bring logic into this!

    I have a habit of looking at the old board from time to time, and holy f*** is it weird over there

    That's interesting why is the fangraphs data so ambiguous? Also, it saddens me to see cecil averaging close to 92 in mid 2010, before losing it.
  11. sachmo55
    100% agree with this. Cecil saw a 3mph increase as a reliever, which isn't all that shocking or surprising. I rememeber looking at Cecil's velocity charts, before they started only showing 3 yrs of data, and I think Cecil actually used to average around 91-92 as a starter during the first half of 2010, before seriously tailing off to being the Cecil we saw the last 2 years.

    Leave Kawasaki out of this! <3 Derosa, Boni & Izturis all have less WAR than Aaron Hill has in 10 games (both individually and combined!) :'(
  13. sachmo55
    Oh Goodness, please don't make me think about that!
  14. sachmo55
    If Lind's numbers are legit, it make you wonder how f***ing bad our previous hitting coach mustve been
  15. sachmo55
    Mo Rivera?
  16. sachmo55
    Until Dickey starts to resemble the pitcher of the last few years, I refuse to get optimistic
  17. sachmo55
    Holy f*** what a terrible contract lol
  18. sachmo55
    To be fair, both JPA and Wieters have obp's 30 points below their career averages
  19. sachmo55
    I think he was referring to Wieter's 2013 obp, not career But still, its a stupid argument.
  20. sachmo55
    That is just scary to think about.
  21. sachmo55
    Problem is that this team next year is that there is already ~ $110 million already committed, and that's only with 13 guys. This doesn't include the arbitration eligible players and any signing needed to fill out the roster. There is A LOT of money committed to this team for next year and there just isn't much depth to accomodate for injuries (as we've seen this year) ... something serious need to be done if the team is to keep afloat and flexible.
  22. sachmo55
    I was gonna say the same thing, but I was worried I was being homer-ish
  23. sachmo55
    Didn't the rangers offer Olt + for Dickey?
  24. sachmo55
    There's the option of trying to move Reyes and reallocating that money elsewhere.
  25. sachmo55
    JPA: 2.6% walk rate, 32.4% k rate, Pitchers hitting (league wide): 2.8% walk rate, 36.6% k rate Let that sink in a little
