    Boof Bosner and Oliver Perez can be dominating. What sucks is that two starting pitchers decided to come back to earth in two consecutive starts in the same week. You would think Suppan and Capuano could you, know time their meltdowns better.
  2. endaround
    No more likely you're .380 OBP hitter so you hit leadoff.
  3. endaround
    Any team that uses Erstad as their leadoff hitter deserves to lose.

    I'm not sure how you think thats different from most pens. They have two set up guys, a closer and one loogy. Villeneauva gives them more flexibility than most. The problem is you can never trust Spurling to give you a full inning without having to be pulled.
  5. endaround
    How long until Balfour gets a serious look to replace Spurling? I guess I'm asking at what point is he considered back from his injury?

    But it does show why there is a housing collapse in this country. I mean housing increased increased in value on average about 1% per year in real terms for decades. But since for a few years you were getting 5-7% real returns, well that must be the new situation and that rate of growth will continue for ever. Similarly, Gwynn won't hit .400 for ever and Gross will hit above .170. Which means that Gwynn is in store for a drop off and Gross for a spike.
  7. endaround
    Gross is that fast. He's probably top 5 on the team.
  8. endaround
    Very few hitters can hit balls for any power. Vlad can, but he really is still selective, he just has a bigger zone than most players. Soriano can hit balls for power, but his lack of selectivity kills his OBP.

    Batting average is a decent stat when used properly. The problem is that people use it incorrectly (ERA falls into the same category). Batting average is important when deciding who to use as a pinch hitter for example. Using the Brewers bench, with men in scoring position and two outs, neither Counsell nor Graffanino are really decent options because both are low average hitters even though their OBPs are decent. ERA is similar. ERA gives you a very good record of how the games a pitcher pitched went on average. But it isn't very good for projections and doesn't really tell you how the pitcher really pitched in those games.

    Really thought Miller would go today given Estrada's play yesterday plus the lefty. But I'm sure David Wright steals 3 bases on everybody...
  11. endaround
    If you think you can get an 826 OPS CFer for $5 million, you haven't been paying attention to either the market of what Torii Hunter did last year. He's a $12 million player right now, going forward is another issue. And that doesn't mean he has a real role on the Brewers.
  12. endaround
    At what point does Yost realize he can't have Estrada hit in front of Jenkins? Make the other manager at least have a small fear that you'll bring in Mench to PH against the lefty. You know Yost won't pull Estrada for that.
  13. endaround
    If they want a closer, yeah it would take Inman. But if the Brewers want a rental player, not even close.
  14. endaround
    The Royals do not want Graffy. It would take at least Inman, Crabbe, and Gwynn.
  15. endaround
    And which contending team will give up a solid reliever? Jenkins isn't going anywhere unless the Brewers crash.
  16. endaround
    Greinke's career ERA is 5.05 Dessens is 4.49. Greinke is obviously young enough to be better going forward, but he brings little right now. EDIT: And too late btw. Greinke had a 5.80 ERA in 2005 while Dessens had a huge year in 2002 with a 3.03 ERA and another good year in 2005 with a 3.56 ERA (mostly in relief though)
  17. endaround
    These are the Reds. He'll be gone for a reliever in no time.
  18. endaround
    Grienke would require a significant price and he wouldn't be better than Dessens this year.
  19. endaround
    Do the Brewers though? Last I heard Ash thought Parra is likely headed to a bullpen role thinking his arm couldn't handle 200 innings a year.
  20. endaround
    Claudio Vargas should hit 8th!
  21. endaround
    How sad is it that the Nationals were "celebrating" the return of Guzman and Logan?
  22. endaround
    Clancy still maybe in NoVA.
  23. endaround
    I predict that if the Brewers played the Nationals for 162 games it would be awfully boring.
  24. endaround
    I'm planning on being in DC likely at some point. Just too up in the air to know right now. A friend out there keep pestering me to come see her. If it ends up being in July I'll let you know.
  25. endaround
    See I thought most here would love for her to be Page 3 material.
