    You're kidding, right?

    Someone was big on him, brettac maybe? Maybe it was a few people. Wasn't totally shocking that he did well, but he did fly under the radar.

    Geoff Jenkins option will not be picked up however look for the Brewers to be the front runner for re-aquire his services. Rumored to be looking for 3 years at 17-20 million. Ugh, I'd rather have him for 1 year and $9 million than 3 years at $6+ a piece. The Cubs are likely to cut ties with injured pitcher Mark Prior. I'd definately be a worthwhile reclaimation project at the right price.

    Jeremey Guthrie, Baltimore As a starter, 26 G, 165 IP, 3.44 ERA Decent K/BB ratio, but his FIP does suggest some regression next season.

    Most people will agree that there is such a thing as clutch hitting, but generally many will say it can only be evaluated in retrospect. Simmons was a "clutch" hitter during his career, we can see this by looking at his numbers. Geoff Jenkins was a clutch hitter in 2006. However, it is very rare to see a large difference in one's career "clutch" numbers and one's "non-clutch" numbers. It is also incredibly impossible to predict because nearly every players "clutch" stats even out throughout their career. Put this way it makes a lot of sense: If a player does well in "clutch" situations, why doesn't he do that well all the time? Are you saying Ted Simmons didn't try as hard when nobody was on base? Hell, you could make a case that all players who seemingly do well in the "clutch" are actually just players who are lazy and don't try hard all the time. Its a never-ending debate.

    All roster moves should be reported, Russ!
  8. sbrylski
    The move makes perfect sense to me, going along with the short leash theory. But are we comfortable with Kremblas as being better than Yost?
  9. sbrylski
    Point taken.

    Everyone needs to look at Gabe's stats last season before we assume he'll be solid as a starter. He sucked this year, even against RHP. He did have a low BABIP, but he still sucked. 328 OBP against just RH!

    I'm guessing Doug means a Mark Loretta type. I wish JJ had that kind of patience, but he seems too intent of swinging at the first or second pitch every at bat. Hardy with a .360 obp would be an All Star caliber ss. He tried being patient in the first half of 2005 - it didn't work. He's a swinger, a pull hitter, and that's what he's good at. Definately good enough to be a long-term solution at SS, but not out of the two hole. 6-8 in the order he's excellent to have.

    That's actually what I intended the thread to be about, what Melvin thinks it is. It turned into what we each think a professional hitter is, which is fine. Still a very good thread, if I don't say so myself.

    Certainly the lack of walks from Estrada hurt his value, but just as disconcerting were his lack of RBI's and clutch hits. Really, his lack of RBI's and clutch hits worry you? He hit better with runners on base than the bases empty, though a little worse when they were in scoring position. He did have two grand slams as well, right? He was great the year before with RISP. Its just small sample fluctuation. For his career he hits 20 points better with RISP, and OPS over 100 points better! So its a little dissapointing, but I have zero concern over that going foward. I want to see the walks.

    I just made a lengthy post about aquiring Kearns (and mentioned Church) in the trade forum. Go support it!
  15. sbrylski
    Range factor kind of sucks though. We were third worst in the MLB in GB, and RF is very dependant on how many opportunities you get per inning in the field. Actually, that's basically what it is, so it pretty much sucks.
  16. sbrylski
    That's pretty debatable. His lines from the past two seasons are: 2006 = .271 / .357 / .434 / .791 2007 = .255 / .319 / .471 / .790 That's not very impressive for a corner OF, especially when you consider Jenkins was given good matchups during 2007. A low OBP with decent power and lots of K's is kind of a redundancy with the Brewers offense, and that's exactly what Jenkins gave us this last season. I know this has been covered elsewhere, but I think picking up his $9M option for that kind of production would be sheer madness. I'd much rather see Gabe Gross get the playing time, when you figure in salaries. And who's better and a FA? I think Jenkins still has some good season in him, and with just a one-year commitment to him its a much lower risk.
  17. sbrylski
    i would NOT have jenks on that list. lots of Ks. - So? As long as the production is still there, I don't care how he makes his outs. If anything, going deep into counts is a good thing because it can net you more BB and wear down the pitcher. cant hit leftys. - Niether can Nixon or Hatteburg, and eveyone else on that list can't hit lefties or righties and are 48 years old. goes for the fences. - Again, so? The production is generally there. looks like a fool. - Good point, we need a better looking guy in there. Erstad's a good-looking guy, lets get him.
  18. sbrylski
    Of that list, give me Geoff Jenkins. A one year, $9 million deal should get it done. Even though $9 mil is a little high, its just one season so we won't be stuck with a bad contract a few years down the line.

    Melvin mentioned that he'd like to bring in a "professional hitter" this offseason. It seems many here assume he means a high OBP guy, but is that the case? Could DM have a different definition of a "professional hitter"? Couldn't a "professional hitter" mean a guy that doesn't strikeout much? And those types of players tend to not go deep into counts and therefore not walk much, the opposite of what we assume a professional hitter is.

    Last one... "They grow up so fast. I have a few of my own that I want someday."
  21. sbrylski
    "We are not seeing each other anymore, can you accept that!?" "Fine, then I just want to be friends." "Good." "Plus a little extra. Also I love you."

    I'm sure there are real people who got held back a grade in elementry school that now have very respectable jobs. It looks to me he does just fine at his job. Yes he's weird and makes mistakes a lot, but at least he gets yelled at for them all the time from his superiors and they make it seem he's always on thin ice. Also, they showed his sales talent in the "Traveleing Salesman" episode. He won that salesman award before he got his manager job too, the one that Dwight also won. And my favorite quote from the episode was right at the beginning: "...I don't think anyone heard anything...and most people had left by that point...so what I think you should do, is roll up that memo real tight..." http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif

    Go to LambeauLeap and make a post instead of making a roundabout complaint. People will view it. There's not much strict college talk because people are being so damn stubborn with LL. The in-game thread has 3+ pages for today's Badger game, so we'll talk college football. Its like complaining about the president without ever voting.

    I thought we discovered that rumor was a complete fabrication of some blogger - total speculation that ended up getting taken as truth. So I guess I consider any real Brewers-Reds talks to have went totally under the radar.
  25. sbrylski
    Wow, funny how a big offer for Adam Dunn made it under the radar.
