    Patrick, any clear cut reason for taking Francoeur out of that 2002 class? I think I'd pick Upton, Fielder, Hermida, and Kazmir all over him. I think it's easily forgotten how average he was in the minor leagues because of a couple hundred AB sample in MLB. All three of those hitters have a better understanding of the strike zone, Francoeur plays better defense, but to me that's about all.

    I believe that's a circle change.

    Woodard seems intriguing, with that control and smarts combo.

    there is a fair amount of evidence pointing to taking hitters over pitchers when so much money is involved. I agree wholeheartedly. I'd prefer to accumulate as much upper-level offensive talent as possible, and then deal from the surplus for either veteran MLB pitchers (age 25-29 or so) or upper-level pitching prospects. I'd rather see the attrited pitchers being weeded out on other teams dime.

    Don't forget Chris Young, he's one of my favorite prospects in the whole league - they're loaded with a bunch of my faves like Jackson, Quentin, Young, and Drew. If they can augment those guys with decent pitchers, they could be a powerhouse for a long time.

    Raul Casanova has signed with the A's, purportedly to be their catcher at Sacramento.

    Player A: 1809.3 IP, 1502 K, 732 BB, 119 HR, 310 SV, 3.01 ERA, 126 ERA+, 5 seasons with 100+ IP, 1.232 WHIP, 1 World Series championship Player B: 1043.3 IP, 379 K, 162 BB, 59 HR, 244 SV, 2.76 ERA, 146 ERA+, 5 seasons with 100+ IP, 1.175 WHIP, 1 World Series championship Player A is the Goose. Player B?: LINK This is the problem with relievers. So many of them are comparable, some are truly great, maybe Gossage is one of them. I don't really feel so, though.

    http://homepage.mac.com/antennantenna/blogwavestudio/LH20041114013926/LHA20050108154907/Media/LHA20050108154907_1_TN.jpg ? I say no, just because for the most part I'm not a big fan of relievers in the Hall. He's definitely closer than a guy like Sutter or Lee Smith, but for me it's a no. It is odd that a guy that was a Yankee has taken this long to get in.

    Well, it it Phil Rogers, who is a Chicago guy, and his reasoning is lacking: If Kirby Puckett is in the Hall, if Tony Perez is in the Hall, if Gary Carter, Ryne Sandberg and Ozzie Smith are in the Hall, Dawson needs to be there, too. Okay, if Robinson is in, so should Santo. It's silly logic.

    Whoa, I'm making a magnet.
  11. brettac1
    Obviously, LaPorta is my favorite thus far, but Curtis is very intriguing.
  12. brettac1
    That's really awesome. I'm sure it will come in handy when discussions on things like mechanics and elbowshttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif are being discussed.

    Thompson was an All-Star, and I don't even remember it. Odd, you'd think the starting lineup and rotation of that vaunted 1997 Tigers team would roll off the tongue. Honestly, though, what does it hurt? The guy obviously had some big time talent.
  14. brettac1
    Yes, it is. His case irks me much more than Rose, and I think he's more deserving of being in the Hall. Okay, that's all.
  15. brettac1
    From the Jackson testimony: Did you make any intentional errors yourself that day? No, sir, not during the whole series. Did you bat to win? Yes. And run the bases to win? Yes, sir. And fielded the balls at the outfield to win? I did.
  16. brettac1
    Shoeless belongs in way before Rose. He was the man, and there's hardly any evidence that he really was down with the fixing. His play in the series didn't demonstrate it, that's for sure. As for Rose, I guess no, or like others have said, once he passes away. But then again, he was a compiler's compiler, who hit a ton of singles.
  17. brettac1
    I watched LaPorta and Florida a couple of times last year, he did look like a nice hitter to my untrained eyes.
  18. brettac1
    That is some sweet catching depth at AAA.
  19. brettac1
    I'm punching a ticket to board the Mark Hamilton express.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks for the info, Patrick.

    Here's my second favorite guy that's not in the Hall. Greg already posted the stuff I would have, but Allen was a completely dominant hitter for a long time. It just amazes me that guys like Jim Rice, who is basically a slouch compared to Dick Allen, repeatedly get mentioned as "should be" HOF guys, while hardly anyone even knows who Dick Allen is.
  21. brettac1
    BP does something on the same line as this, with MLV and MLVr. Those stats are quite useful at times.
  22. brettac1
    Ashburn is a great example of a whole new set of guys I want to bring in, those already elected who perhaps should not have been. That sounds like fun.
  23. brettac1
    How about Dick Allen, as well?
  24. brettac1
    I agree with that sentiment. I voted yes because he never tested positive for steroids. The fact that he was never given the opportunity to test positive isn't his fault, it's MLB's.

    moneyballman, what's your source for those projections? I'm just guessing, but I think they're from their PECOTA cards at Baseball Prospectus. another Q&A on the web somewhere? Joe Sheehan's doing a chat on Baseball Prospectus in roughly a half hour. Link: baseballprospectus.com/ch...chatId=149 I know he's not your cup of tea (nor mine), but at least it's something.
