    Parra actually had success just a couple years ago(2008) at the MLB level. It is still hard to tell what to expect from him yet.
  2. logan82
    You have never watched Orange County? or Band of Brothers?
  3. logan82
    I am pretty sure you were going to already but start with a link to Cot's.

    This season isn't about wins anymore or I think Capuano would be starting.
  5. logan82
    I am more than a little shocked that Witrado actually reads let alone likes Fangraphs.

    You don't use options until you are added to the 40-man roster. If you are in the minors and on the 40-man roster you are considered to be on optional assignment(Jeffress) unless you are on a rehab assignment in which case you would be acquiring MLB service time(Gamel this year). If you spend at least 20 days on optional assignment you use an option for that year. I believe that Gallardo and Braun were added to the 40-man roster just before being called up. That is how I understand the rules.

    I like the show. Same writer as Burn Notice. I am not sure it has enough mass appeal to stick around though.

    To answer the original question. 6 weeks ago.
  9. logan82
    This also coincides with a tailspin that the team in general took at about the same time. This whole season has been a tailspin or did you mean we happened to be playing some really good teams just after the Braves the first time and lost a couple close games to the Pirates.

    At what age or point do you tell your son to throw at a batter? -- Little League? Babe Ruth? High School? Bush League.

    I hope that is what they do instead of insisting they are still in a playoff race and try to win games. To be honest I don't have much faith they will play for next year.

    Braun has no fielding instincts. At least in the outfield his athleticism can make up for some of that. I don't care if McGehee would hit enough for a 1B. If he is playing for us we need to move guys around so our defense is the best it can be and not worry about if they can hit enough to play a position. Moving a guy to play 1B just because he can hit enough for a certain position but making our defense worse makes no sense.

    Weeks is getting hit only slightly more than his career rate. Fielder is getting hit almost twice as much as normal. You really have to look at whether or not it is intentional on a case by case basis. In Weeks case I would bet that they are almost all unintentional. I personally think Macha is making something of nothing otherwise I think we would see Braun getting hit a lot as well. Outside of those 2 almost nobody has been hit more than 3 times.

    Basically what you're saying is he has bad range, so if he did have bad range his UZR would be bad, but his UZR is good. Not necessarily. It all depends on the chances he gets. UZR can vary from year to year. That is why you need more than a year to go off of and you still need to regress it. His career UZR is about average. No reason to expect a 40 year old guy who falls apart when he plays back to back days to have even average defense when his defense has been barely above average since 2002. Gomez gets to balls Edmonds can only get to in his dreams.

    Who is pitching on Sunday for the T-Rats?
  16. logan82
    Carlos Gomez career 14 UZR/150 over 2578 innings. You might as well argue that Gomez is a good hitter. You would be just as right as you are about his defense.
  17. logan82
    Laws don't mean anything unless they are enforced.
  18. logan82
    So you cherry pick his worst months, while playing injured, and he still has an OPS over 700 in part time duty, while playing the best defense of any of our OFs, and you tell he hasn't been good. I can't agree with that. He's not great, but he fills his role very well. He has a OPS over 900 in July, now that he's healthy again. Edmonds looks good on defense because he is to slow to get to most balls in the outfield and he doesn't drop balls. Lets not forget that Edmonds hits with the platoon advantage most of the time.
  19. logan82
    UZR over the few games can be very misleading. The fact that you keep trying to use it to prop up your opinion leads me to believe you have not read up on UZR and really don't know enough about it. Basically Gomez does not have enough chances to give UZR any idea how he has played this year. Not enough balls hit to gaps and one or two mistakes is going to skew things pretty badly with his playing time. You can rail against his defense all you want but he has shown over previous seasons he is a plus defender. There is little or no reason to expect him to play anything except very good defense.
  20. logan82
    No, I think your personal observations are flawed. UZR may not be perfect but it is far and away better than any one fan's observations.
  21. logan82
    The WGN announcers are borderline unwatchable. Brenly is an idiot. I saw one game where he went on and on about how a pitch to Lee was a ball even after replays clearly showed it at the knees and over the plate. Ugh.
  22. logan82
    Yup, I remember those quotes and now he is apparently out of favor with the organization. Their tune this year is that he didn't take advantage of his opportunities.
  23. logan82
    I am going to give Macha the benefit of the doubt on this one(not that I think he deserves it) but if Cain isn't starting after 2 weeks that will pretty much seal it for me. As of right now it sounds like he may only be up until Gallardo comes off the DL.
  24. logan82
    Wish in one hand, well you know the rest. Doesn't look like Cain will be starting any time soon.

    Where is "around here"? What store?Pierce's in Portage. They are the store that looks like they are cutting back on the Stubbs selection. WalMart never had Stubbs.
