    That's the crux of it. It's not about being a bad stat, it's about being incomplete and misleading.
  2. John_Havok
    Then you can wait for the first set of blogs that this site will be posting, because if the admins allow me to be one of the writers, it will probably be my first article now.
  3. John_Havok
    I assume you missed the part where he asked to argue that it isn't a good stat....
  4. John_Havok
    Yes I can. It's too bad you wouldn't understand it because it doesn't fit your hive mind view of baseball. I find it hilarious that you constantly have been attacking people in this thread for using advanced statistics as being "hive minded" when the use of such stats are still by far the minority opinion amongst baseball fans. If anything, it's those who are dead set against trying to understand or expand their knowledge of baseball who suffer from a hive mind mentality.

    Sent you a pm mr. admin sir

    I care deeply about batting average. It's a top 50 statistic from which I judge a players offensive talents.
  7. John_Havok
    Mods maybe but not me.

    Well you don't risk getting thrown out and leaving nobody on base with one out. At least a failed bunt still has a guy on base. And when you ask Rajai to lay down a bunt, you're pretty much asking for failure.

    What about three tits?
  10. John_Havok
    Jesus....
  11. John_Havok
    Was thinking the same thing, but gibbons puts in Loup on back to back nights rather than going with a fresh arm...
  12. John_Havok
    Probably yes. Interesting fact, there are 34 pitchers(with minimum 30 PA) with a higher WAR than JPA, using nothing but their hitting and defense numbers.
  13. John_Havok
    The jays are going to be in the 140 million dollar range as it is with very little personnel changes due to raises of existing players, so unless they are able to save significant money via trade, expecting huge additions with even 150 million payroll doesn't make much sense.

    Jesus ever living f*** people.... 48 pages on an org guy. Everyone ban yourselves immediately
  15. John_Havok
    Nope. Dead arm for Rogers is a very real possibility.
  16. John_Havok
    He's close to 30 runs saved defensively this year. His previous best was 13 when playing CF for Philly. He is really benefitting from playing RF in Fenway.
  17. John_Havok
    Zero need to waste an option year down the stretch, just wait until next year. I'd like to see him in AAA for a month or two as well. Now that they aren't in Vegas, I think spending some time against some Quad-a hitters will help develop him further

    The Reds just officially added Billy Hamilton to the 40 man roster after outrighting Villareal to the minors.
  19. John_Havok
    If Bard was pitching like Romero it would be a giant improvement for Bard, that should tell you something.
  20. John_Havok
    Already posted in the Around baseball thread.. and yes, he's vey likely done. He walked almost 2 batters per inning this season in the minors.
  21. John_Havok
    Bard has lost it. You don't put up double digit BB/9 rates in AA after being a dominant reliever in the big leagues without some very serious mechanical or mental health issues.
  22. John_Havok
    Neither of which should make a Jays fan happy.
  23. John_Havok
    It only alters opinions of those who base their opinions on small sample sizes, smaller sample sizes, even smaller sample sizes. The chances of Goins being even an average offensive player in the majors after the kind of minor league career he's had is remote at best. Is he capable of making adjustments? Well sure, every player in the game is physically capable of making adjustments, but whether or not they are successful at it is another issue. So far Goins has looked like he's capable defensively at 2b, carries himself well and doesn't seems to be very awestruck by being in the majors, which is good. His numbers are a regression waiting to happen, with a .400 avg on a .460 babip, an unsustainable LD rate and no power whatsoever, which is bad. And the bad, very much outweighs the good.
  24. John_Havok
    I know....just....wow
  25. John_Havok
    Yeah that's what I was confused on, Spokane was ahead in the second half standings but the team who won the first half has already clinched the second half as well, and Vancouver is 1 game ahead of Spokane in the overall standings with 1 game to go, and they have the tiebreaker.
