    For scorebook purposes, it doesn't matter where the player makes the play just what position they are listed as in the lineup.

    Has Lucroy's name been mentioned in any rumor anywhere this offseason? I seem to remember very early there was some talk about resigning with Colorado but I can't think of anything else. I'm not really a fan of his but he's still a top 10 catcher in baseball, maybe higher. Collusion or not, the top guys are at least being rumored somewhere but it seems like total crickets for ole Jonny.

    There's a joke somewhere in that headline, right? I'd prefer they go with Bethancourt as the backup. Neither he nor Bandy can hit but Bethancourt probably has the better arm, plus you might as well count him as a 9th BP arm.

    Putouts in LF have ended up between 8512 & 9020 over the last five compared to 9401 & 9771 over the last five years for RF putouts, so it looks like there are typically more opportunities in RF. That's outs though, not necessarily plays, correct? Opportunities are based on plays. My hypothesis is that there are less putouts because balls are hit harder to LF (RH pull hitters). I was going to look those numbers up myself but didn't have time. Either way, unless you're choosing between a canon and a noodle it really doesn't make a difference. Like in our situation of "if Braun is in LF you can't put Yelich in RF because of his arm". Worrying about that is a classic example of over managing.

    I've seen a couple others say he's looked good. I haven't seen his every AB but of the 4 or 5 I have seen he hasn't even fouled a pitch off yet. Just looks super overmatched with no approach other than "swing at every pitch and hope I hit it."

    The whole bad arm can't play RF argument is so stupid. The only time it's an issue is on a throw the 3B which happens so infrequently it's not even worth adjusting your whole defense for. I mean really, you shouldn't want a bad arm in LF because a LF is probably going to get more balls hit to him and have more chances where the arm will actually make a difference.

    The MLBPA leadership is quickly turning into a joke. And will look like even more of a joke after next offseason when the $100M+ contracts are flying left and right.

    He had a pretty good rookie year when he was fat and even last year wasn't a horrible year. I'm sure he'll do a little better in 2018 than 2017 but I doubt it has anything to do with his weight.

    I believe so UNLESS something crazy happens.. I think it's guaranteed since a team is already moving to Colorado Springs next year.

    Major League plate appearances... 147 Almost 2,000 plate appearances in the minors with an OPS of .900 He will be hitting the beginning of his prime this year. He will definitely be an interesting one to follow. Maybe, he could. More likely he's just a borderline major leaguer having a hot spring.
  11. jerichoholicninja
    Choi of the MLB career .665 OPS? Seems like a classic 4A player getting hot in spring like we see every year and get excited about.

    I agree with your point, but I don't think Kirk Gibson fits in with that group. He had a 5 year stretch where he was worth ~24 fWAR and 25 bWAR. He won an MVP award, and received votes in 3 other seasons. He was a pretty good player in his prime. Gibson would actually validate this proposal as he was a pinch hitter and could be inserted whenever and where ever in the lineup.
  13. jerichoholicninja
    The rules are so loosely and haphazardly enforced, they aren't even rules and you're a fool if you actually try to follow them.
  14. jerichoholicninja
    Batting order at this part of ST means nothing. Guys they want to see get AB's will hit near the top so they get more chances. Having said that, I still wouldn't be surprised if Villar hits leadoff on a semi-regular basis because he fits the "mold".
  15. jerichoholicninja
    Same company now.

    Like all NCAA scandals it seems like this extends well beyond campus. And also like all NCAA scandals most of the "adults" involved will get a slap on the wrist or a timeout for a year or two.

    Gave up pro wrestling for baseball.

    If they hurt themselves, there's nothing the MLBPA can do to protect them. No one will offer them a contract (depending on the injury, of course). I thought I read they were providing insurance for those that participated. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure that insurance isn't paying out $20M a year.
  19. jerichoholicninja
    I'd love to see the NCAA burn to the ground with all their high and mightiness about "student"-athletes, amateurism, coaches who preach loyalty and then bolt whenever a school offers them $1 more, and all that crap.

    With this year's free agent QB's a top 30 NFL QB could be had for less than whatever Rodgers is getting/will get paid. Just saying...
  21. jerichoholicninja
    That's one of the things my high school coach always pointed out. Baseball isn't like every other sport where you give your best player the ball at the end of the game. The guy you need to get the game winning hit could be the worst player on your team and there's nothing you can do about it. I doubt (and pray) this ever happens.

    The old guy who runs on the treadmill next to me at the Y uses a pocket notepad that looks to be a few decades old. Seems to work pretty well for him.
  23. jerichoholicninja
    Do you mean why they aren't playing them? I'd assume it's because UW is in Florida this spring.
  24. jerichoholicninja
    Many of us sure over-reacted to that trade. Inman never made it, and the Hun at least had some big league time (is he still playing?) Ya, I remember some posters wanting to hang Melvin for trading Inman for a half season of a RP. Just went and checked his minor league stats and he did ok at AA and then got torched at every AAA spot after that and retired after 2013.

    I couldn't care less about ending a game sooner but the constant mound visits are annoying. Just play the damn game and keep it moving.
