    You sound like you would enjoy OOTP...

    The difference is your examples were unknowns. We've got some proven faulty-brained candidates poised to land this job. Randolph and Brenley are lateral from Yost at best. At least Macha should be lateral at worst. Probably better overall.

    Wow, someone scored a 0.37 - its on the leaderboards right now.

    Its posteason. I think all postseason appearances should be displayed somehow. We were won of the 4 "winners" of the regular season.

    Ugh. Congrats to Jack. Mariner fans looking for Brewer fan reaction are going to like what they hear.

    I find it hard to believe there is still zero "real" evidence. That's not really true though - there has been a fair amount of evidence. There is more physical evidence than most people realize. Physical evidence is found every month in various areas across the country. Distinct tracks that do not match other animal tracks, hairs that match each other but no known wild animals, and large scats that could not be made by any known species, are all "physical evidence." - Wikipedia summary, obviously more detailed info can be found around the net. Also, from BRFO.net: There aren't going to be many deaths a year, at a ~2000 population with a lifespan over 50 years. And in some of the most remote places on earth - finding a body is not exactly probable. There's plenty of justifiable skepticism, of course, but I have yet to hear an argument that would rule out the possibility, and have heard some compelling arguments to the plausibility of their existence. There's plenty more interesting things on the BRFO.net site. Even just reading the FAQ. (And then balance that by reading some of the skeptic's articles somewhere.)

    I agree that Bud can't do much more, but I think its ignorant on his part to think that all the problems with competitive balance are fixed.
  9. sbrylski
    Definitely. But its not because of a balanced playing field that they are left out. Its because they have been relatively stupid with where they've spent their gobs of money, and the short series length that makes it close to a crapshoot on who wins in the playoffs. The Red Sox will probably continue to win and win, because they have adopted the "smart" baseball management techniques the small market teams have developed as a way to compete, and have an enormous payroll on top of that. The A's, Twins, Rays, Marlins, ect are going to be left in the dust again as more of the big market clubs get "smart."

    Not overly simplistic at all. Stats can tell lots of versions of the story -- what can, did, & perhaps should & should've happened. Sooner or later, though, you do need to get away from the hypotheticals and deal with the simple reality that Schlitz001 brought it up. But runs attributed to a single player are scored in context - and each player is the only one to have played in his unique context. Rickie Weeks scored a lot of runs, Jason Kendall did not. That does not mean Weeks is a better leadoff hitter or better at scoring runs than Kendall. Swap them in the lineup, and you might get opposite results. But we know that Weeks is a better leadoff hitter than Kendall, because we look at the traits that make a leadoff hitter successful - OBP, SLG, and speed, in order of importance. The best run scorer (and leadoff hitter) is not the person that scored the most runs - its the person that is the best at scoring runs.

    MLB experiencing an unpredictable era Um, can someone tell me what's changed? As far as I can tell there is still a vast difference between the haves and the have-nots. Just because a few smallmarkets have outsmarted the rest and snatched a few pennants does not mean there is no longer a competitive balance problem, not by a long shot.
  12. sbrylski
    2.05 was the score that I had on the leaderboard that has since fallen off.
  13. sbrylski
    The way I interpreted it is that he would see player X that scored 100 runs as a better leadoff hitter than player Y who scored 80 runs, yet player X had Babe Ruth hitting behind him and player Y had Craig Counsell. How well there overall abilities (largely OBP, also doubles power, and speed) lend themselves to scoring runs is fine, but how many runs a player has scored in the past is not a good thought process. And Doug's "the Brewers scored the 2nd most runs in the leadoff spot in the NL, so tough to see that as a problem" comment is faulty too. There's two components here - the table setting and the run producing. Good run producers can make poor table setters look better than they are. Doug is making an assumption that the table setting is fine and ignoring the other factors that go into creating the results he's basing his assumption on. (I think I'm getting worse at writing...)

    Leaderboards I'm Sam_2 and Sam_3 (attempt numbers). Both currently on the list of top score in the past 10,000 games! (Sam_3 is about to fall off though.)

    Melvin asked what was the most important thing for a lead off hitter and Homer side OBP, but Melvin said scoring runs. Not a fan of that phrasing. Its more all-encompassing of the leadoff's job, but it is obviously team dependent. He knows that, obviously.

    Pacific Northwest, including Canada and Alaska, is pretty damn remote. If that's what you are basing this remark on, I don't think its valid - there's not much of a difference in some areas of North America and the Himalayas in terms of human presence. Now, Bigfoot in North Carolina? No.
  17. sbrylski
    That's a risky move, IMO, going for Span and Blackburn. Blackburn seems like a guy that is going to have some decent 4.10 ERA seasons and some really bad 5.00 ERA seasons. Span really came out of relative nowhere to have a great season at both AAA and the majors. His LD% was a stellar 25.7%, and his BB% basically doubled from the seasons prior. I could easily see him regressing into a .260 / .330 / .360 type player, which is obviously unattractive. But who knows, maybe something "clicked" and he'll be a consistent .370 OPBer over the next 6 years. Just saying its a risk.

    There's no way Ellsbury goes 2nd in a redraft. I think Garza and Braun are your top two in any order, based on the fact that those are the three already established at the star level. Tulo probably number three, and then a big group of take your pick star talents yet to really burst out.

    . The Eyeballing Game . Apparently I got a really good 2.13 on my first try. EDIT: 2.13 was after round one, I didn't realize there were 3 rounds at first. 2.98 was my final score of my first round.

    Just 30 votes back!

    If Bigfoot counts, I believe its existence is more probable than not. As to the 3 WW theory, can you explain the desired end-game? I don't understand what "they" are trying to accomplish. This recent Chupacabra video is pretty intriguing. LINK
  22. sbrylski
    Easily, easily, easily Macha. Yost to Macha may be lateral, but Yost to Brenley is a downgrade.
  23. sbrylski
    Here's another angle I found:
  24. sbrylski
    In every category, OBP / SLG / R, the trend line for Melvin's team ranks is positive. He's adding runs anyway he can - with the Brewers it just hasn't come with OBP.
  25. sbrylski
    Another metric dissing Hardy's defense. Interesting.
