    I love that term, 'grand steal'. I'm still laughing. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Russ started a thread recently trying to get to the bottom of this perception/problem thing. Obviously, home runs are not a problem. But possibly, the Brewers pedestrian OBP is. Great post.

    I did some checking. "blueviolet" and "darkviolet" seem to be the best matches for sarcastic blue-fuchsia. Samples: blueviolet darkviolet Based on the preview, 'darkviolet" seems more readable. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I have to chime in on the language stuff; b19 isn't here to do it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Purple seems good for sarcasm, TooLive. I can't think of anything better.

    I can't be sure, but I think you get orange or magenta. Where's colby when you need him?

    I agree with that statement completely. Some pairs stack up about the same, in some comparisons, one player is a little bit better, and in other cases one player is a whole lot better. You're fine when you look at the individuals, but adding up the totals player by player is fatally flawed. The bummer is you see that methodology in many game or series previews, and not just in baseball, either. The same thing applies when you look at team or individual rankings. If a team or player is ranked #3 and another is ranked #11, and there's not much difference in the stat being measured, it's way misleading to simply report the ranking. Now that I think about it, objectivity doesn't seem to be the problem here. Allowing oneself to be mislead by the numbers (or do misleading with the numbers) could easily be, though.

    It'd be horribly rude if a webmaster did it or if it were used often around the forums. It's an occasional game-thread thing, though, and people have fun with it. You can override it by choosing to "always use my colors" in your web browser. Or you can check the site CSS that I tossed into the bottom of this thread: Sigs often looked too much like messages, but not anymore Another option might be to shut down CSS entirely while you're on this site (View menu in Firefox), but since a lot of stuff is controlled via CSS, you might not like what you see.

    Dr. Wood, "anyone ? simply doesn't know what they are talking about" crosses the condescension line. Please go to "My Control Center" and enable your inbox so you'll be in compliance with Brewerfan policy. I'd have preferred to PM you on this.

    Julio is still with the Braves.

    Tuesdays, Spurling would be in the same waiver-clearing Catch-22 as Balfour.

    The way I'd define 'objective' is setting evaluation criteria in the beginning and not changing it from player to player. You want to avoid an apples to oranges comparison. Whether you're using OPS or VORP or whatever, objectivity shouldn't be affected. If you're finding that two players fall very close in your initial "objective" evaluation, then you can "objectively" use some kind of predetermined fallback. I'd say strawboss was objective; the argument should be whether or not OPS was the best stat. As I mentioned in the early part of this thread, I think it's fine unless you want to get picky when things are close. (Myself? For the sake of this thread, I'd probably just declare two similar OPSs a tie.) OPS+ is a little nicer, of course, because of the ballpark factors. Ballpark factors aren't always perfect, but with breathing room, nothing should break badly and it'll probably improve on OPS a little bit. Where it's very useful is comparing extremes, such as doing a Padres-Rockies comparison.

    I think there's plenty of leadership. Anything for the bullpen is always nice. As far as CF, a righty who hits righties and also plays center would be really cool. I don't think you'd fill the whole order on that one, though.

    A good sabermetrician is skeptical of everything he encounters. That would even pertain to his own stuff. As a matter of fact, the first thing that flies up a at least a yellow flag in my mind is if the so-called study doesn't attempt to identify its own flaws. I love the use of the word, 'snarky', by the way. It's one of hawing's favorite words and it's quickly becoming one of mine. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I think this goes back to the Wynegar adage that Bill Hall likes to quote: Don't try to show your power; let your power show.

    We really need a link to the article containing this quote. I'm not finding one quickly. The statement is way out of context as it stands, and all we can do is speculate.

    I think the teams are very evenly matched, too, and that attempting to debate the short-term advantage of Fielder vs. Lee is an illustration of that. I think you're going to have to work pretty hard to project which of those two guys is going to be more helpful over the next two-plus months.

    I believe zzzmanwitz's idea was to 'compare notes' much more than it was to debate. "Loving" is very subjective. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I'm going to lock this. I've PMed zzzmanwitz inviting him to re-start the thread.
