  1. Has been an okay catcher for the most part. 2010 and 2011 with the Reds he put up a .290/.353./.493 slash line playing about 50% of the time, 19 hr. wOBA .351, .340. Career wOBA .285
  2. I don't think Davis is any more or less likely to be taking PEDs than any other player either, just wondering why nobody is asking the question like they did of Bautista. Seems that with biogenesis being a topic on everyone's mind these days, it would seem a no brainer for journalists to get attention, regardless of legitimacy, just like they did with Bautista.
  3. Remember when Bautista came out of nowhere and all these articles were being written "the question that must be asked..." And all that garbage... Has anyone seen any articles from mainstream media "asking the question" about Davis? Why was it ok to jump all over Bautista but not Davis?
  4. I'll throw my hat in today... Gimme Lind to Oppo Taco
  5. Any way to have entire threads removed from view? Like a " thread ignore" feature that makes the thread invisible?
  6. Make me a mod please ... This place is going downhill in a hurry
  7. Another thread ruined.... Keep up the good work mods.
  8. I mentioned Lawrie? Keep building those strawmen...
  9. The Cubs aren't in any position to demand an elite level prospect for Garza in trade. They could ask for a couple of B's maximum, more likely B and a C.
  10. I'd go after garza, and do it now before he strings another bunch of good starts together and drives up his value
  11. Studs like Ciriaco... Jesus that should warrant a banning right there
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Epic... http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=14069115&topic_id=&c_id=mlb&tcid=tw_video_14069115
  15. 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.
  16. Your original post didn't have the 3, gsnarls, the super moderator added it in
  17. The rule that used to be in place about having to have long sleeves cover tattoos was " the Justin miller rule."
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Very much a project, the jays knew that when they took him.
  22. 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
