    I would say we want Oakland, Boston, Baltimore, (Detroit/Cleveland probably doesnt matter much - probably Cleveland) and just for shits Houston

    You've been on this forum long enough to know people are always looking for a reason to hate on Rogers (who put up a very respectable $135m payroll)

    I still don't think a reasonable deal such as this was available to the Jays, and I don't see who else they could have gotten. Maybe a decent RP, but I don't know what the rest of you expected them to do... I guess after they got Valencia they decided they didn't need Prado (probably an OK thought process)

    Instead asked for people to take on Howard's deal... Guy is just mad nobody is as stupid as he is edit: Regarding Amaro's comments
  5. crmr
    I agree. I actually think every team in the AL East was a loser this year, with the yankees coming out on top. Jays and O's didnt do much and Boston and Tampa did not capitalize well at all on their talent

    This is probably what peopel said about Kyle Drabek too. You can't stick in the bigs if you can't throw strikes, and right now Sanchez looks like he cant. The only problem with him is they didn't trade him at peak value this off-season and so now have probably missed the boat as his inconsistent strike throwing continues. We probably just have to stick with him for now and hope he works out, but I'm not holding my breath with that. Hopefully his stuff can shine at least in a late inning role.

    This was also what i thought as I watched. Unless he can effectively keep people off his fastball, he's going to get blown up a lot. I like the velocity and location on it, but I don't like movement. Will have to see more starts before making any judgements

    Your second statement is actually not true by the argumentation of your first, and by the arguments laid out in the OP (with your own 10% threshold agreeing). Although, it is *usually* true, it is definitely not guaranteed in any way, not even over large samples. However, these differences can still be discounted when evaluating a player, which is what this stat matters for anyway.

    More like Archer is in tough against us

    This question reads a lot like "Do we want more pitching depth?". The question is of course yes. While he probably will never be as good as he should be, he has been valuable through his career, even as an SP. In the pen I suspect he is just a much better version of League

    There are few pitchers I'd rather give a 6 run lead to. May be hittable but at least he'll make them beat him

    Being a good prospect more often than not means you're not a great player... plenty of busts all over baseball every year

    Since when does JPA care about hard hit balls? It's all about RBI's for that guy... Doing a 360 here on his attitude (at least for now) it seems

    For anyone interested, a nice write-up http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=23503

    Is there a place where I can find in season updated framing? Interested to see how everyone is looking in relation to last year
  16. crmr
    They definitely have one of the better lineups, so if they can put up 6+ runs in a lot of games they should have a decent chance. If .500 is your expectation it's not too crazy to think they can get up into the 87 win range by getting a bit lucky, then it's more luck to make it! Overall they are still one of the better teams in the AL, it's just how they manage through the division. A couple tough losses to Pittsburgh does hurt, but they are leading in run differential in the East so far, and I believe they were 11 games back at this point last year, so definitely some reason for optimism still.

    I'm not sure you want to go and teach two guys a new position mid(early) season opposed to the solution to your problem (keeping Francisco in the lineup) which allows each player to play a position they are comfortable at. I also really wonder if this improves the D at all, I would suspect not. It could be something to look at next year to teach each guy a new position in the off-season, but to me it just doesn't make any sense.

    Interestingly your second point, despite how stupid your first was (hint: not everything is random) , agreed with my point, which you initially disagreed with... To help you out some regarding your first analogy, it would be better if you took your car hitting wall scenario, using it to attempt to learn the driver's skill, and instead of determining them to be a bad driver based on whether they hit a wall, look at the random elements around the situation (such as, perhaps a truck ran them into a wall?) Either way, since you agree his babip will increase from 140 I'm happy to see we are in agreement

    Now it's time to realize it's best to be patient with your evaluations

    Check what month we're at in the calendar
  21. crmr
    This is good analysis (Really shows the broad picture) but these numbers could all be heavily influenced by a small early season sample. Would be good to track his progression in these departments as the season goes on, I think we'll get a better idea in another 2 months as far as approach changes/ball seeing goes
  22. crmr
    It's funny this entire thread misses the point that he has a .145 babip and if anything is likely to change it's that
  23. crmr
    And we all know they will quickly try to find someone else
  24. crmr
    I've been waiting for this thread. Have to go with Rios and JPA. Probably Rios for me
  25. crmr
    I actually though that Rios was universally hated in Blue Jay nation, im a bit surprised his name isn't thrown around more. Guy just wasted his talent for the jays
