    I put a lot of work into it, who do you think are

    Stupid gnarls deleted my Reyes contest
  3. Vincent
    Why did you delete my Reyes contest???
  4. Vincent
    FYI: There's still a 0.1% chance to make the play-offs...

    I know singling-out a stat is bad news bears around here but I really really want our lead-off guy to GET ON BASE. Do I care whether it's a walk or a single? I do not. Among 29 other players with at least 300 PA'S in the majors in the lead-off position this season REYES RANKS 20TH in OBP (look I even knocked the PA down this time).

    I'd scrap Thole but we don't really have much of a choice Happ depends what AA does in the off season What is "Cott's"?
  7. Vincent
    This is the greatest thing EVER
  8. Vincent
    This thread is a disaster, I'm glad to have been a part of it. Goes well with the season.

    If you want to think Reyes is worth more than $18 M this year based on his WAR and market value that's your prerogative. I don't think any rational person who watches him play every day would agree with that.
  10. Vincent
    There's no point in arguing with you since you're stubborn as a mule. The fact remains, Reyes is arguably the most over-valued SS in the game and he is one of the key guys AA is building our team with.
  11. Vincent
    Yeah, literally. I don't know if people are purposely being dim regarding Reyes or not. WAR is not perfect and whatever the margin of error is I'm sure it's the most with Jose Reyes. The guy just finds ways to give away runs and lose ball games.
  12. Vincent
    I like how people are favoring this. We're basically in the WORST SPOT IMAGINABLE... basically the highest spot in the standings w/o actually being in contention.... this is the worst thing a baseball team can do for the clubs future viability.
  13. Vincent
    Prob better for the Angels? Not really fair to the rest of baseball though, from what I understand this is an unwritten rule...
  14. Vincent
    The list stands on its own regardless of the minimum qualification, the data is correct regardless of some players with less PAs being omitted... that in itself makes it not meaningless at all.
  15. Vincent
    FYI: Hech had a negative WAR, so hard to qualify that...
  16. Vincent
    I'm happy with the list as is. The minimum qualifier is used all the time when evaluating players. Again, changing the minimum qualification to something else is completely arbitrary. You can go ahead and do this yourself if you're so inclined.
  17. Vincent
    There's a reason baseball has a minimum qualification to begin with. Sure I could reduce the qualification from 1000 PA to 900 PA, but where do you draw the line? Should I just make it 200 PA minimum? Then I'm evaluating players who have barely played at all. So player X has 200 PA in 2 years and is getting paid $10 M obviously his $ per WAR is going to be completely off the mark. The data just becomes useless at this point. Sorry dude, yes it's arbitrary, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

    Seems really unfair (to A's / KC) that the Angels are not trotting out their best line-up tonight with Seattle still being very much in it.... No Trout, No Pujols, No Hamilton, No Calhoun, No Iannetta, No Aybar... not a single regular in their line-up
  19. Vincent
    I'm very unhappy. Mostly just unhappy watching him f***-up in every single game (or so it seems).
  20. Vincent
    I will give you some credit, you/I did not mention SS specifically but that's what I was referring to. But I'm going to go with the qualifiers only... WAR is not scaled "per X games" therefore doing this analysis on players who did not play enough games wouldn't make any sense.
  21. Vincent
    Maybe, maybe not. In any case our GM has gone out and got arguably the most over-valued SS on the market... JOB WELL DONE
  22. Vincent
    He played 17 games last year, therefore did not qualify...
  23. Vincent
    So by that logic Trout earning around $110 M the last 2 seasons would be a good deal? It's also funny if your GM goes out and gets the most over-valued SS on the market.
  24. Vincent
    Jose Reyes has the second worst $ per WAR contract over the last 2 seasons. I guess sometimes what you think and what's true is just plain wrong. http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=848&d=1411099147
  25. Vincent
    Admittedly I may be somewhat bias from watching him make mistakes nearly every game (how can you not be??). He still has one of the worst $ per WAR contracts in baseball over the last 2 seasons and that will only get worse next year as his salary increases and he gets older. I also argue that as good of an all-encompassing stat as WAR is, nobody would say it's perfect, and in Reyes' case I would argue that it favors him.
