    No the board wants to find him a platoon partner not named Moises Sierra.

    -Votto is intelligent/ JPA is dumb (A) -Votto understands derived measures of performance/ JPA doesn't understand basic counting stats ( -Votto performs well/ JPA performs poorly © There is cause and effect between A and C, A and B. There is a positive correlation between B and C but B does not cause C.
  3. LunchBox
    Yeah and all players ought to be concerned with is their on-field performance.
  4. LunchBox
    I totally agree with that sentiment, but to say that understanding a measure of performance will increase performance is a stretch.
  5. LunchBox
    I guess that makes King Assistant Bat boy? Tough luck, should have hitched your wagon to a faster horse
  6. LunchBox
    I really doubt that it's his appreciation of statistics that drives his performance; rather, his performance is enhanced by his intelligence, which in turn results in an appreciation of statistics. Saying "every other player should take note" is basically saying every other player should be smarter. Certain executives should be taking note though.

    Lyle Overbay's ages 25-33 seasons are pretty much the worst possible outcome for Freeman. They're a similar type of player, but the comparison ends there.

    Urgh and Izturis starting at second, disgusting. Maybe if we ask CLE nicely they'll just return Gomes and Aviles? Obviously bullpen arms are invaluable and bench players irrelevant.

    A pending marriage and a $100M contract sounds like a recipe for a prenuptial agreement.

    Thanks for this, you single handedly dissuaded me from reading the article and apparently wasting my time. Is the term "talking out of both sides of your ass" a thing already? It seems appropriate.

    The odds of Goins ever posting a 2.8 WAR season are roughly equal to that of CHP winning best poster award. Although the odds of Boni doing it again aren't much better lol

    No team will offer him a contract when they discover he'll only throw to personal "catcher" Vince Carter, and his sub .300 OPS.
  13. LunchBox
    It`s a perceptual bias, a product of the mind rather than the eyes that causes this fallacy. Visual information actually supports your point.
  14. LunchBox
    MIN and CIN seem like logical destinations. He`s a very poorly utilized player and I`d like to see him do well.

    Honestly, any trade for Samardzija involving Stroman or Sanchez would be a fail at this point, with Jimenez being readily available. This is precisely why a franchise with considerable financial resources should not be operating with self-imposed budgetary restrictions. It's totally unnecessary for the Jays to value the surplus value of Shark's two remaining controllable years over their top-tier pitching prospects.
  16. LunchBox
    Agreed, although they were only "assets" in terms of controllability, the talent level was pretty minimal. The futility of his presence on this team speaks more to the amount of SPing depth they've assembled than anything else IMO.
  17. LunchBox
    Capuano is undoubtedly a superior pitcher by nearly every measure; however, he and Happ have nearly identical career ERAs and Happ is actually superior in suppressing the HR, which is probably the full extent of this team's evaluation. He's definitely an upgrade but unfortunately Happ's presence and salary mitigates much of what he has to offer, rendering his addition redundant. It's similar to the Arroyo situation in a lot of ways.
  18. LunchBox
    Realistically the team also includes EE, Bautista, Rasmus, Lind, Escobar, Morrow, Cecil, Delabar (or the talent they net via trade), Drabek, Hutchison, Nolin, ect. It's better than what he posted.
  19. LunchBox
    The standardized sticky scale says Stephen is sorta sticky but stuck without a contract, Goins is super sticky and has been Seitzered so starts at second.
  20. LunchBox
    If the "actual ones" don't fit the team's contention timeline then yeah.
  21. LunchBox
    Correct answer is Ryan Goins is super sticky.
  22. LunchBox
    Instead of trying to make an identical argument in two separate threads and expecting different responses, perhaps you should make your point at the old forum. I'm sure they'd embrace your belief wholeheartedly "we didn't make the playoffs with Burnett in 2006-2008, it won't be any different this time around, grumble grumble".
  23. LunchBox
    This statement is equally as incorrect here as it was in the Around Baseball thread
  24. LunchBox
    Anyone care to explain the significance of the "cap filler" and "rinse and repeat" memes? Also there should be a sticky thread with all this information lol
  25. LunchBox
    Read this yesterday, was going to post it in response but you beat me to it. With only ten (nine) comparable instances, none of which are actually particularly pertinent to Stephen Drew, I was left unconvinced that he would suffer from a positional change to second. It should be totally irrelevant however, as there's little doubt it should be Reyes making the transition.
