  1. $ 4 million is a reliever on a 1 yr deal that we can try and leverage at the dead line, like this year..
  2. Are they going to come out with the sequel to Strange Brew.. Strange Herb? The Fast Food places better put on some extra staff and stock up for the evening of the 17th..
  3. Fine: Bill "Mother Fnn James" , 2017 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2017/11/20/bill-james-who-spurred-baseballs-analytics-revolution-is-waging-a-mini-war-on-war/?utm_term=.d1886751dd28 If I lived in Canada like you I would be smoking the reefer about now..
  4. Wired then.. https://www.wired.com/2011/06/the-sabermetric-bias/ Plus, who cares if I am giving the board material to debate, sling insults.. I have thick skin. It is obvious we both have nothing else to do on a Saturday night..
  5. I will be the first to admit I am no Bill James.. I need to look things up and find references. However, I have been doing that for a while now and I have learnt that there is not an advance metric you should put all your chips in as the be all end all. There are differences among the main stat pages. There are stats that were used a few years ago that have been replaced by new and better metrics. These metrics will be replaced one day also when flaws are identified. Good fun article.. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/429384-sabermetrics-the-one-stat-they-dont-know-that-matters-the-most
  6. I said he had a good OPS one year, but still sucked. I was responding to the previous post that asked me about BA and in comparison to other stats. I was not talking about '13.. 13" was the year he had the 3.6 oWAR. 2014- (0.6 fWAR, 0.9 rWAR over 376 plate appearances) he had a good WRC+ same year which tells you something about that stat as it does ISO. REF ISO: You need to be careful because not all .200 ISO are created equally. A .250 average and .450 slugging and a .350 average and .550 slugging both return ISOs of .200 because both batters have the same rate of extra base hits per at bat, even though the latter hitter is clearly the better player overall. Rasmus also had a K rate of like 32% mas o menos which is like top 5 horrible and every K is bad out. The point of my original post is you need to look at totality.. On the same token that you cant just use BA (Which I agree 100%) there is not just one other metric that eliminates the need for all others.. If there was, there would be one offense metric in Fangraphs etc and that was all you would need, there isn't.
  7. We are talking offense. He never had oWar higher then 3.6 with the Jays and that was his best year. He had one year with a 1.2 oWAR and another with 1.7. while he was with the Jays. One year he had 735 OPS but a .287 OBP and .225 BA. He hit some doubles and HRs which drove his OPS numbers up, but generally he sucked. He also had a very high K rate but not even as bad as some other years. A lot of bad outs.
  8. 1. I nor anyone else here has stated you should judge a hitter by soley batting avg. 2. If you have a .368 avg hitter going for the batting title, he is probably a hell of a lot better hitter then a .176 hitter measuring all metrics unless the dude has insane OBP. 3. OPS is a very weighted stat that made guys like Colby Rasmus look good one year in Toronto when he was not.
  9. Where is anyone talking about batting avg? This seems to be your go to catch phrase. On the site and podcasts. I have seen no one on this site, nor on this thread measuring a hitter by soley batting avg or pitchers by wins for that matter. Having said that, as it refers to batting avg, it should not be entirely discounted just because there are other more advanced metrics. Everything needs to be taken in totality..
  10. Agree before hand what metrics you want to use. OBP, OPS, SLG, wOBp, WRC+, avg, EBH, style points for bat flips. I dont care as long as it is fair. If one guy has higher in 3 out of 4 categories for example, that guy wins..
  11. So you are saying you will take the bet? 😜
  12. You guys are all a bunch of betting fiends on here. Let’s make a bet, if given same # of ABs, I bet Reese outhits Martin next year. Take highest avg of all relevant stats. Problem is, probably will not to be able to do that comparison on the Blue Jays..
  13. Me, as someone who wants a winner, and me who is a fan who spends money on tickets. The kid is a gamer and I would much rather go spend hundreds of dollars to go to that concrete behemoth and watch Reese , Rowdy and Borucki then Martin and Morales and some has been veteran SP... I also think Reese will out hit Martin (which isn't hard) if given an opportunity..
  14. Then make Russel a 20 million a year coach.. Because that is what you are suggesting he be there for.. Coaching... Dump him, eat some salary, then let the kids play, bring in a great catcher coach (Sal the mustache or someone), then offer Martin a position in a year after his contract is up... We will not have roster management flexibility and efficiency with Martin being dead weight so he can "coach".
  15. With all due respect, I disagree. There is no way the Jays call him up on a sub 500 team and lose a year of control. Regardless of pressure. Yes, the injury delayed the promotion to AAA, agree. The White Sox didnt call up their uber prospect either and he was not in the same boat, except for the fact the White Sox want to save the year of control also.
  16. That would actually probably make him smart and straight.
  17. He did a video on MLB about the amount of teenagers in the AFL. When talking about Vlad jr, he states that Vlad was not in the majors this year because he was injured and the injury set him back. He is going to the AFL to make up the ABs he lost due to injury. Even a casual Blue Jays fan or a fan of speedy lead off guys, knows that there was no fnnn way Vlad was coming up to the majors this year, injury or no injury. It is all about the extra year of control and for him to say otherwise and say that Vlad is in the AFL soley to make up ABs, makes him an idiot.
  18. Johnathan Mayo is an idiot. That is all.
  19. We need to enroll Rowdy in Yoga class right away..
  20. Holy s*** that was tight.. but adios Yankees.
  21. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!!! That said I hope Boston finishes them tonight!
  22. Listen, it is fine to tell us about other viewing options on TV.. However, I really think it has no bearing on anything and you dont need to share with the board what night you and your girlfriend have unprotected sex...
  23. At the end of the day it is one loss, regardless of the score. Kinda better this way for the Yanks as they can better manage their top relivers.
  24. People like me? That sounds very racist.. Are you assuming I am Latino because of Carlos in my screen name? First you go after poor Angel Hernandez and now you are going after Carlos.. I bet you love doing the racist Tomahawk chop.. Actually, I saw a post where you even wrote out the racist war chant. All of us disenfranchized and marganalized posters on this board need to get together and resist!! Come on all you men, woman and non-specific gender “theys” . Fight the oppression of 70 yr old white men like Box and his ilk..
