    Steam?

    I would order them Sabathia-Sheets-Harden. I'll also predict that Harden is the only one who might move, if any.

    No challenges, I hate the challenges. I actually liked what I heard on 107.5 this morning in Green Bay - if the ball comes back onto the field, its in play. If it goes over the fence, its a homerun. By making the top of the fence a HR and the side in play, that makes the umpire's job 100x harder. Really, its pretty simple. Like Wrigley, as they said on the radio, there is never any dispute - if its in the basket, its a HR. If its not, its a live ball. Go tweak some ballparks.

    I'll play the old man: I love how it is now, the human element. The occasional blown call, the occasional horrendous call that gets chronicled on the team's wiki page, the manager-umpire argument ritual. It adds to the enjoyment for me.

    We are way too much in the race to trade Sheets. He'll in all likelihood be here through the season. After that, who knows what Mark and Doug are planning.

    It's like people can't just state an opinion without it being scrutinized thoroughly, it sometimes feels like. This is a discussion forum. If you don't want feedback/scrutiny, start a blog, or use the vent thread.

    He's a very solid prospect, we just are looking forward to seeing what he can do against older competition. So are a lot of people. Move him up!
  8. sbrylski
    Anyone got any? I would want three. (added date for that little extra clarification - hawing)

    That seems pretty weird to me that he is not still at 2B then. (I had assumed he moved because he was unlikely to be ML quality in the MIF.) What happened to keeping the player at the toughest spot until they prove they can't handle it? Is it possibly because he was such a low draft pick and they weren't expecting much out of him anyway?

    I have never seen a car commercial that I liked. Though, I have yet to come up with my own concept that I'd like better either.

    Sure, they make sense for us. Hall's no longer in the major plans, and Rickie is still teetering between above average and bust. Gillespie is a good wood, but at the back of the logjam. And though Lucroy is also tearing the cover off the ball, Salome and Lawrie are at worst sufficient for an organization's catching prospect pool. Do they make sense to the Orioles and Mariners? I'm guessing they fall a little short, though they aren't too far fetched. This scenario would definitely solidify the Brewers as contenders both this season and next though, without sacrificing much future, and I'd be thrilled.

    That has an extremely small chance of happening - he's just now showing that he can actually hit in the minors. We're paying Counsell to be the backup, he'll play. Even Bill Hall at SS is probably unlikely.

    For fun: Bill Hall+Gillespie for Brian Roberts Rickie Weeks+Lucroy for Erik Bedard

    Good job, SF!

    Nope Craig. And one of these times Homer...

    Ah, whoops, correct. I must not have read this thread at the time, the posts all came up as new.

    I would guess the Red Sox would be interested, with Ortiz's wrist is it?

    At Jenkins 200th HR game, I sat in the second row behind the dugout, best seats I've had since Seitzer. The Twin "supporters" behind me were the most annoying fans I have ever sat next to, and pretty much wrecked the whole experience. I did get on camera during Jenkins' curtain call, 16 feet away from me. On average, you're right though.
  21. sbrylski
    I'm still not ready to abandon Weeks, but if we were talking something like Hall+Gillespie, definitely count me interested. For sake of argument, would Weeks get moved to 3B possibly if they were both on the roster? Roberts contract expires at the end of '09, when he makes $8 mil.

    How about looking at a team's % of runs scored via HR vs. team's winning percentage? This won't tell us anything either. Total RS and RA will have the overwhelming control over win%, obviously. You'd need to find two clubs that are close to the same RS and RA, and then compare their HR rates over a large sample to see if a difference has any effect.

    Thought 1: Good of Shields not to throw at his head. I'm okay with it as long as its below the 'pits. Anything at the head is just plain stupid and should result in a serious penalty. Thought 2: The whole ritual of the brawl is pretty funny. Its two guys fighting, then the first two out there to pull the two apart go at it, and then the other 39 guys just try to restore order. Thought 3: Man those Rays' unis look like they are generic ones that shipped with a mid-90's computer game with fictional teams. Ugh.

    Wouldn't the same arguments be true for walks? Other runners don't advance, and they are not as valuable as a single. This is why I feel some people overvalue players like Gabe Gross. His OBP is okay because of his BB numbers, but his average still stinks. A walk is only worth ~2/3rds of a single, but its better to count them and look at OBP than use BA and not count them at all. And of course you'd rather have an OBP made up 100% of batting average, but it would take a fairly large difference in batting averages to make up for even a small difference in OBP. And OBP really is just what it says - how often a player gets on base. It does not attempt to assign a weight to how the reach base. So that's why you add in the SLG, which does assign a weight to the quality of the players hits, and despite still ignoring the difference between a single and a walk in the OBP component, it correlates 96% to scoring runs. And if you think about that, a hit is counted both in OBP and SLG, while a walk just helps OBP. So in OPS, a walk may actually be undervalued.
