  1. Such and un-Raylike move
  2. That's a fair comment. Went too far with the 'exclusively' bit.
  3. Your precious 'stats' can't quantify this s***!
  4. I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding how we use DIPS. Nobody here is saying that FIP is the best representation of how a pitcher HAS performed. ERA is the BEST stat for telling you how many runs a pitcher has let in for each 9 innings he pitched. Its useful enough in evaluating the actual success a pitcher has had over a period of time. DIPS in the other hand is a better predictor of how a pitcher might perform in the future. Its exclusively useful as a predictive number. Nobody here is going to say that a pitcher deserves the Cy Young because he had a crazy good year according to FIP if his results that year were not good. They will however say that that guy will probably be better in the future than his results indicate.
  5. How the hell does this strawman relate to the argument?
  6. anyone 'sickened' by cheering for a tank should probably just stay out of a thread that's named 'reverse standings thread' just say'n
  7. Hmm I never thought about the trading angle... good call by BA
  8. :'( My pitching is so bad... Yordano, Hultzen, Bundy... you can't come quick enough
  9. I'd want Ted Williams just because he was such a badass. Let alone his amazing baseball skill
  10. I like Foltynewicz (was going to take him a pick after Dinger lol). What would you be looking for?
  11. Yeah, I'm not that upset, as most of the injuries don't seem career threatening (or at least that's what they keep saying about Hultzen :s) Noah is going to be a beast for you... a bittersweet beast
  12. Draft Pick Update: EVERYONE IS INJURED!!! but I still have hope
  13. I imagine somewhere along the lines of 0 dollars. A guy like that won't take a sweetheart deal because a clubs tossed him 'chump change' during this second season.
  14. Steroids aside, you need amazing talent to do what he did... I was looking at his number the other day and its just insane. a .404 career OBP and +1 career OPS is nuts.
  15. Anyone interested in Crawford as an option at SS? I don't think I can justify using a keeper spot on him, but he's been playing pretty well this year. Might be a nice boost to someone struggling with shortstop.
  16. What about the HIGH fastball... gotta be a Jay on that list
  17. Sounds like its going to be a 3 replay 'flag' system like the NHL. I don't' know if you get it back if you win the challenge.
  18. I hope that they do it somewhat like the NHL in that they have a dedicated 'reviewer' (either in a centralized command station like the NHL, or at each game). They will be better at reviewing and I won't have to watch the fat ass umps trundle off and on the field.
  19. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/08/mlb-prepared-to-expand-instant-replay.html Interesting turn of events. What do you all think?
  20. I don't deny that he was horrible. Just commenting on the use of the word 'exponentially' which doesn't really apply here.
  21. Either Boni was a lot worse than I thought... or you are misunderstanding what 'exponentially' means.
  22. Was the Reyes contract panned? I thought it was fairly well received.
  23. Doesn't it piss you off when you take the time to write a well thought out rebuttal and someone just sluffs it off. I guess it means you won tho, so that can't feel that bad. Nice job.
  24. Or it took Lawrie that long for him to admit it to himself and quite down. It wouldn't be the first time a player hung on to some sort of bad mechanic for too long.
