    I'd go after garza, and do it now before he strings another bunch of good starts together and drives up his value

    Studs like Ciriaco... Jesus that should warrant a banning right there
  3. John_Havok
    Quicker removal or locking of threads that are being made retarded... And banning of clearly agitating And contrary posters before they get to spew their garbage under the veil of valid opinion.

    Clearly you haven't read the whole thread or you'd know that I agree with the nation that OBP is very important. I also don't see how anyone could not see that currently that Jays OBP is not good enough. Those 2 points are not in dispute. What's in dispute are the constant references to Farrell, like he has anything to do with OBP... Using small sample sizes as evidence of anything, and cherry picked stats.

    It's easy to post numbers and then draw conclusions about organizations that seem to fit the numbers when really they're nothing more than conjecture.

    Your original post didn't have the 3, gsnarls, the super moderator added it in

    The rule that used to be in place about having to have long sleeves cover tattoos was " the Justin miller rule."

    It's -3

    Fangraphs actually found last year though that a team's record in the first half had a higher correlation to predicting second half records than Pythagorean projections.

    Bust

    Sabermetrics isn't about OBP. It's about exploiting a particular aspect of baseball that other teams undervalue. In Billy Beane's case, it was OBP. It is now widely recognized that OBP is important, so OBP is itself no more Sabermetric than my left testicle. So any argument that uses a team with a high OBP as an example who has this amazing understanding of sabermetrics is baseless. Using tiny sample sizes of one player in rookie ball as evidence of anything is stupid. And perhaps the most telling reason that this thread is pretty much filled with garbage, is you're here agreeing with everything he's saying.
  13. John_Havok
    The only thing that he's said in this entire thread that's true is that OBP is important. Pretty much everything else is a steaming pile of crap.
  14. John_Havok
    Very much a project, the jays knew that when they took him.
  15. John_Havok
    Oh the irony....

    Maybe, but the Jays need all of their rotation pitching well in order to make any noise in the fall. Forgive my pessimism,but despite wang and Rogers pitching well over their first few starts expecting them to be even average starters is a stretch. Buerhle is #5 at best and Johnson is inconsistant from 1 start to the next. The rotation is a mess right now and I don't think AA has a legit chance to fix it for a run this year
  17. John_Havok
    I don't think he is, but still, by definition, it's a pretty crappy debut.
  18. John_Havok
    Stop the presses, we have a Matt Smoral sighting! 0.1 IP, Hit the first batter who was then CS, then 3 consecutive walks before he got the hook.
  19. John_Havok
    I've already stated repeatedly that I think Pillar will make the majors and be a contributor, but not as a regular long term.
  20. John_Havok
    Re-read this thread and there's plenty of legitimate points raised.
  21. John_Havok
    Melky Cabrera at 24. 4th year in the majors. Pillar at 24. Total of 353 PA at AA and higher, only 26 of which are at AAA. Yep very equal
  22. John_Havok
  23. John_Havok
    Right now it's actually slightly lower than the last two years but within .6%, and 2 ish % higher than his career average. But his walk rate is he lowest of his career.
  24. John_Havok
    Gotta cut dem walks...
  25. John_Havok
    Maicer hasn't impressed thus far, but I think he's about ready to go on a bit of a run. I like Maicer better than Kawasaki as a starting 2b ROS. I also think how Maicer plays between now and the deadline is really going to play heavily into how aggressively AA pursues a 2b via trade.
