  1. Keep in mind this is when Helton was a full .20, behind Youkilis. You skew the numbers more than an Arthur Anderson accountant. You're the last person who should be lecturing people on humility. You should really give it a rest, when you say that you were dead on in the Loretta/Pedroia comparison. You compared him to a guy who OPS'd .622. In the minors. You didn't think Pedroia had a chance to hit they way he did. You said his peak was an average player. Again, stop projecting.
  2. That's f***ing hillarious. $30 million for Clemens Trade for Todd Helton Trade for Jason Schmidt Trade for Roy Oswalt Extend Pedro Martinez Extend Johnny Damon All of them have/had significant risk of decline, and you pissed and moaned that they didn't trade 50 prospects for all of them.
  3. Or, they fall right in this area. You also completely ignore the lack of prevailing winds at Fenway Park. Those balls aren't getting out. You could also try to use the actual unaided distances of the balls. Your credibility just went down a notch in my book. I've always enjoyed our disagreements, but be man enough to acknowledge when you want to fellate the former Red Sox CF. I know he's really cool, but you don't need to say he's worth 8 wins over the average player, or that he would have more than 20 HR's at Fenway Park. Look Fire_Theo, I know you think that 1 good year of a contract makes it a good investment, but no one else shares that opinion. http://www.baseball-statistics.com/Ballparks/Bos/fenway.gif 375, 370. Close, but not enough. Oh, don't believe me. You were at the game. How about J.D. Drew's shot in today's game? That ball totally died out in Death Valley.
  4. No, but what I think what's funny is when you're shown these stats, you completely ignore them, or dismiss them. The people who created these stats, know more about baseball than you, or I could ever dream of knowing. When the come out with these, they know what they're talking about. Every single one of the data pumped out by these "stat geeks," are subjected to comprehensive anaylsis. Yeah, it's always this black and white. Why did Torre suck so badly for the other teams he managed?
  5. You have to be "clogging the bases" in order to score on another player's HR.
  6. 4/13/06 4/29/06 4/29/06 9/27/06 8/15/06 8/12/06 I count six. That number would swell even greater in 2007.
  7. "On-base percentage is great if you can score runs and do something with that on-base percentage," Baker said. "Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me." We should be like the Cubs. Get rid of David Ortiz, he doesn't hit HR's anymore. He clogs the bases up. So does Manny, he's a base clogger. We should trade for Juan Pierre, he's not a base clogger. Them guys is good.
  8. Right over your head. Not surprised. 'dat dem youkilis be cloggin dem bases up dat he scored 100 runs for dem red sox in '06. What's with the war against slow guys who walk? It's stupid.
  9. That clinches it. This guy is Joe Morgan, Dusty Baker, or Steve Phillips. Hey Dusty, why the f*** did you bat Neifi Perez and Corey Patterson at the top of the lineup?
  10. Beckham debuted today. :dunno:
  11. I think Mike Mussina committed suicide.
  12. How do they work? Is that what his peak is?
  13. Leadoff hitters got on base more frequently than Damon did in 2006. Who ever was batting leadoff was totally irrelevant through July. That team was on pace to score more runs than the team in 2005. It would have done so, but what happened? 6/9 starting players went down to injury. Two others played hurt, and slumped. The other was just not that good. Take your pick. Drew Youkilis Pedroia All of these guys get on base at a much better rate than Damon.
  14. I love how he completely ignores Crisp's strongest contribution to the team. Care to tell us above Damon's glove in contrast to Crisp?
