    Hall's range is fine. He sometimes tries to play balls off to the side even when he can get in front of them. He has a strong, but not accurate arm. He also sometimes tries to make throws when he should just hold the ball. With 2 of 3 infielders making inaccurate throws I don't think people are overestimating the impact of Fielder at 1B.

    I think Parra is better. Most of his secondary stats are better or similar to Gavin's except for BB/9(Parra walked one more guy/9). Parra just got hit around a little more. I like Parra's almost 2 more strikeouts per 9 innings. The BABIP leads me to believe that they are going to be pretty similar overall with Parra being better. 2008 stats(career stats go even more in Parra's favor) Player K/9 BB/9 K/BB HR/9 AVG WHIP BABIP LOB% FIP Parra 7.97 4.07 1.96 0.98 .279 1.54 .337 71.7% 4.16 Floyd 6.32 3.05 2.07 1.31 .246 1.26 .268 71.4% 4.77

    How about a common sense approach? Which Brewers infielders don't make you cringe when the ball is hit in their general direction That doesnt' work especially with Weeks who is still thought of by many people as the same fielder that he was when he came up.

    I really don't care if a guy is positioned well or has good range as long as the outs are made. I would like the defensive metrics to take positioning into account to get a clearer picture of a defender though.

    I think the lineup is fine. We need a couple starters for depth. A shut down guy in the pen would make it go from solid and unspectacular to really good. Our bulpen isn't bad right now.

    Which is why I don't like ZR, RZR, or OOZ. They seem to show the opposite to be true. I am not saying those stats are not objective, just that they don't properly account for shifts.
  8. logan82
    Hardy ranked as the best SS in OOZ with 72 out of zone plays. That was 11 higher than the next closest guy. In RZR he ranked 11th out of 19. I don't like those stats though. I think they fail to account for shifts and therefore the results can be skewed for infielders that play for teams that shiftt a lot(like the Brewers). UZR/150 has JJ as the 4th best SS in the league.

    Even worse. Cameron was better than Hart last year. Hart is probably expected to be better on offense than Cameron next year. Including defense, Cameron probably will have more value than Hart next year.

    There are many former Badgers playing for the Blackhawks. Nevermind, there are only 2 and one is still in the minos.

    I don't have a PS3, but I have heard really good things about Resistance 1 and 2. Supposed to be PS3's answer to Halo and Gears of War.

    I am pretty sure Hart would have negative value as a 1B. Hart would likely be a better defensive player - but Prince is twice the offensive force. The difference in offense is likely between 1 - 2.5 wins from Fielder to Hart. As long as Hart is average defensively at 1B he would make up much of that with his glove. Fielder is complete garbage with the glove and that doesn't even count how bad he makes his fellow infielders look. With a good defensive infield Fielder might be ok, but he is just an anchor on defense. That said I wouldn't trade either one. We would be trading Hart after a bad year. Fielder is our only left handed bat and we don't have a good replacement for either Hart or Fielder.

    I think the NFL and MLB are very different types of sports. I think a good MLB player can have more impact than an NFL player can. The NFL is more about coaching philosophy than the MLB is. The MLB is more about the talent of the players. I know others have said this, but I think it needs repeating. The sports are different and what works(to some extent) for one sport isn't going to work for another sport. I think the solution lies more with making sure teams get fair compensation for losing top free agents and penalizing teams that sign a lot of free agents through the draft. The current system where teams lost approx. 50(Brewers) or 80(Jays) spots in the draft because one team signed 3 top free agents is broken. In addition I think we need a better distribution of TV contract money. I agree with whoever said that the MLB head office should take over negotiations of TV contracts. Teams should have input making sure their team takes priority over other sports shown on that channel and other things. They also have to do something about cheapskate owners pocketing large chunks of money like is apparently happening in Florida. Owners should at least be required to open their books to the MLB head office.

    Parra should be built up to go around 190+ for next year. 190+ is pretty good for any starter. Gallardo, who knows. He would have been ok for around 200 in 2008 but, no idea what a year off will do.
  15. logan82
    I agree that the worst pick you should get for a type A free agent is a pick just after the first round. We are getting the shaft on the CC compensation, but the Jays are even worse off with their AJ compensation. I also think that teams shouldn't receive draft compensation if they sign Type A free agents. So the Yankees signed 3 Type A free agents they would lose out on compensation for 3 of their free agents. The teams signing Type A free agents still lose their picks, they just wouldn't go to anybody.

    He was paid market value. Unfortunately we shouldn't be paying market value for mediocrity.

    If he did I would buy them Red Sox shirts for Christmas.

    Taveras is a couple years younger and steals at a slightly better rate. Taveras has a better OBP, but Patterson slugs enough to almost cover that difference even if you count OBP twice as much as SLG. Taveras at the plate compares pretty closely to Jason Kendall at the plate. The approx 40 SB a year is the only thing Taveras does better than Kendall. Taveras is a bad player.

    Considering the expense, you might want to give her a proxy ring when you propose and then go pick it out together. I understand then need/desire to surprise the person you are proposing to, but I always felt that by the time most people usually propose they both know it is going to happen.

    We're just cheering for laundry! - Jerry Seinfeld I definitely fall into this category. I really am not interested in players on other teams and really don't have more than a passing interest in players who used to play for us. I like whoever plays for the Brewers and that's it. Baring using replacement players or players with serious character issues I couldn't care who plays for the Brewers as long as our GM is trying to make a good team.

    Well he seems to fit what Dusty Baker likes in a leadoff guy. Really fast and plays in CF. They had to get a replacement for Corey Patterson.
  22. logan82
    I wouldn't call the luxury tax meaningless and nothing more than lip service, but I think it is to high to make any meaningful impact.
  23. logan82
    Wish we could have signed him for that. Too bad he only wanted to play on the west coast.

    I would recommend going to Kesslers jewelers. I bought a loose diamond and they put it in a setting. Do your research and don't be in a hurry to buy. Read up on the 4 C's. I went to Kesslers and I had a friend go to Kesslers as well. He had a friend that bought the engagement ring somewhere else but his wedding rings at Kesslers. His friend said he wished he had gone to Kesslers for the engagement ring as well.

    To be honest I think most teams are run separate from the owner's personal wealth. The dirtbag in Florida seems to be the only one really cheating the system and pocketing most of the money. I am not saying owners don't profit from their teams, just not as much as we think. I have to agree with the others that NFL team expenses seem like a drop in the bucket compared to an MLB team's expenses. An NFL team has waht 53 players plus a practice squad compared to 25 guys on a MLB team plus enough players to make up 4 full MiLB teams per team plus a rookie squad. How are the winter leagues supported? Baseball is the only sport that actually has to fund it's development of players(except for the D-league in the NBA and that's only 16 teams) Edit: I didn't want to start another thread on Tom Haudricourt, but since he covers baseball shouldn't it be expected that he would know how draft pick compensation works? I can understand fans not knowing, but his one job is to cover baseball. Does he even like or care about baseball? Maybe he got lazy covering a bad bumbling team.
