    Do you know what you mean?

    Methinks you don't understand what intangible means. The relevant definition of intangible is "not tangible." The relevant definition of tangible is "capable of being appraised at an actual or approximate value." So, by definition, these intangibles of which you're incredibly fond cannot be accounted for in metrics, advanced or otherwise. Another great definition of tangible is "capable of being precisely identified or realized by the mind." So, the best part of intangibles is that, by definition, they cannot by accounted for, even by your feeble mind.

    He would have to not get on base for just over 70 more PAs to do that. He's not playing today, and will likely only play maybe six more games this season. If he gets four PAs in each game, and doesn't get on base in any of them, his OBP will drop to around .220.

    That's a pretty definitive statement. What makes you think this?

    Kinky...

    What you're effectively saying is that it's ok to quantify value with the best possible tools when one is analyzing future value (i.e., performance), but when analyzing past value, one must abstain from using those same tools because there are a large number of variables. That's incredibly fallacious reasoning. You're saying that we should handicap ourselves. We have the tools to do a fairly decent analysis, but because we aren't able to perform a perfect analysis, we should revert to doing the most basic, dumbest one?

    Perhaps couching value in a different light might help. Right now, The US dollar is worth about $1.02 Canadian. If one person has $1.01 Canadian, and another person has $1.00 American, which person has the most value? It seems to me that by your arguments about value, you would say that the person with $1.01 Canadian would have more value because the number is bigger. But in reality, the $1.00 American is more valuable, since it's worth $1.02 Canadian.

    He's played about 55% of his games there this season, which is about 52% of the 1B innings for the team.

    There is no trend in that data.

    Apparently, 75 million is no money...

    Reyes has attempted over 500 stolen bases in his MLB career. I would say it's pretty likely that there a few awkward slides in a sample that large. Also, this injury has nothing to do with his muscles. It was the ground that injured him. I would say the probability would be damn close to one that any player who slid like that would have had the same thing happen to his ankle, although the severity of the injury could be different. What this all boils down to is the actual injury event was not due to Reyes injury history. Blame it on bad baserunning/sliding, blame it on him not being situationally aware and thus sliding too late, or hell, even blame it on his cleats or the ground. But don't blame it on his injury history, because that is a heap of horseshit.

    While I don't disagree with their points in general, I do take exception to number 4. Saying that Reyes' injury was not a fluke is nothing short of ridiculous. They're conflating any sort of injury he suffers while engaging in baseball activities with his relatively higher rate of injuries sustained throughout his career. An analogy is someone who can study all they want, but is a very bad test taker, then when they oversleep one morning and fail a test, saying it's because they're not good a taking the test, not because they forgot to set their alarm, something utterly and completely unrelated to their ability to take a test.

    I believe it was a moderately clever attempt at humor.

    How does he compare defensively with Lawrie?

    I just started sending texting votes and Eye of the Tiger pops on Pandora. Seems somewhat fitting as I'm there hitting A2 and send repeatedly.

    I just looked at the Kansas City area and Delabar is doing relatively well. He's in the lead in Wyandotte (32.9%) and Cass (46.2%) counties. He's in second place in Jackson County (27.7%), where Kansas City is. In Johnson county, he's in third with 17.5%, and he's in fourth (13.1%) to the north in Clay county.
  19. kcjaysfan
    Making up for blowing the previous one perhaps.
  20. kcjaysfan
    Reyes!
  21. kcjaysfan
    Very well.
  22. kcjaysfan
    Where are you getting this information?
  23. kcjaysfan
    f***.
  24. kcjaysfan
    That was a very good turn around.
  25. kcjaysfan
    This is starting well.
