  1. Actually, the DH can be used for any position. So... DH for Arcia? No it can't. Rule 5.11(a)(1) A hitter may be designated to bat for the starting pitcher and all subsequent pitchers in any game without otherwise affecting the status of the pitcher(s) in the game
  2. No we should just move Yelich to the rotation, he will probably win the Cy Young
  3. Wilkerson now the 26th player all-time where all career hits are HR. All-time leader is former Cardinal Keith McDonald, 11 PA 3 H, 3 HR. Current Cardinal John Gant is also in this club, 2 career hits, 2 HR.
  4. Remember bWAR includes the positional adjustment in oWAR and dWAR, which I really hate. Without it, he was 117 runs below average hitting, 79 above average base running and +23 for avoiding DPs. That is -15 runs from average for his career on offense, and his career replacement level runs were 348 below average, so he was 333 runs above replacement. His career runs to WAR constant is 734/76.9 = 9.54, so just on offense, independent of his position, Ozzie put up 35 WAR.
  5. For sure but I don't think that applies to defense as much.
  6. Arcia has a long way to go to match Ozzie. Just because you are the best defensive SS in the league at any given time does not automatically mean you are in the same conversion with Ozzie Smith. Given today's shifting, increased K rate and emphasis on launch angle I think the defensive value of a SS is lower than Ozzie's day. In his 17 seasons before age 40, his worst dWAR currently matches Arcia's career high, 1.3.
  7. Even with a DP in order and Cain on deck? Doesn't seem completely insane without looking into any stats
  8. I’ve never heard of an automated strike zone getting a concussion. Just sayin’... So what happens if two umps in a game get hurt? I mean, we’ve lost one in several games this week. 1 stands behind the pitcher, 1 in the field
  9. I think you answered your own question, second half ERA was 27 I get it. Recency bias is powerful. I guess I just feel that guys with a track record of success should be afforded the chance to right the ship before being dumped. Yes, but 27 is an usually high ERA for a MLB pitcher
