  1. 1-0, Jeter RBI double. Someone please tell Michael Kay to give the whole Tulowitski/Jeter story a rest.
  2. Wow. Drew, Manny, Ortiz, and Pena were doing some weird step dance in the dugout. Looked like some African tribal mating dance. I think Drew is OK. He might be gay, though.
  3. Game over. Braves will win 12-11.
  4. How do you ground into a force out to RF?
  5. Jeter WARP3: 12.1 Morneau WARP3: 8.6 Jeter Win Shares: 33 Morneau Win Shares: 27 Jeter VORP: 80.5 Morneau VORP: 52.0 Jeter EqA: .324 Morneau EqA: .315 Jeter RC: 138 Morneau RC: 121 Jeter FRAR: 39 Moreau FRAR: 16 Jeter WPA: 5.98 Morneau WPA: 4.46 Jeter OBP: .417 Morneau OBP: .375
  6. I don't know if he can play SS, anymore. He's been below average at 3B in his tenure with the Yankees, which by all accounts is probably the easier position to play.
  7. This, I agree with. I'd rather go with this lineup, however. 1. Ellsbury, CF 2. Youkills, 1B 3. Rodriguez, 3B 4. Ortiz, DH 5. Ramirez, LF 6. Drew, RF 7. Pedroia, 2B 8. Varitek, C 9. Lugo, SS
  8. I know. Which is why the MVP means nothing. Justin Morneau won it? What a f***ing joke.
  9. Are you trying to post a link?
  10. You have to factor in Youkilis' slugging, as well. A team will generally score the most runs if they bat their OBP guys in descending order. Guys who can hit for power, and avoid outs, should be given the most plate appearances.
  11. This could push Rodriguez past Ordonez. This doesn't. Neither would this. Ordonez has been the better hitter this year, and has more value as such. Nobody has been better than Ordonez.
  12. If Ellsbury continues to steal at a 86% success rate, he'd probably add about 5 to 6 runs to the Red Sox offense. The average baserunner will attempt an extra base 46.2 % of the time, and will usually succeed 91.6% of the time. To compare, Rod Carew in 1977, attempted to take an extra base 74.3% of the time, and made it 98.2% of the time. In all, he added 9.3 runs due to his legs, which is short of one win. (10 runs = 1 win) That's considered historic. If you use Ellsbury's career number of 76.3% success rate. He's likely not going to add much with his base running. He may even hurt the Red Sox, because he's got a lot of great hitters batting behind him.
  13. I doubt it. The Braves telecast shows him dancing in the dugout with Ortiz.
  14. Why's that? EQA Ordonez - .372 Rodriguez - .343 AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS Ordonez - .377/.453/.661/1.114 Rodriguez - .313/.414/.693/1.107 VORP Ordonez - 47.7 Rodriguez - 45.7
  15. Fred, you really need to start doing some research. Again, you completely miss on your facts. Teixeira, whose name you misspell, averages 130 strikeouts per year. He's lucky he got hurt, or he'd be in the top five in strikeouts in 2007. You're as bright as the sun is as, at 3:00 AM.
  16. Who wants Dan Haren?
  17. Willits is considered a rookie. He was recalled from AAA on April 22nd, 2006, and optioned on April 30th, 2006. Eight. Recalled from AAA on July 19th, 2006, and optioned on August 1st, 2006. Twelve. Recalled from AAA on August 14th, 2006, and kept on the roster for the rest of the year. 20+17 = 37 days, which is eight days shy of the maximum level. NL: MVP: Jose Reyes, NYM (slight edge in VORP) CYA: Jake Peavy, SD ROY: Hunter Pence, HOU AL: MVP: Magglio Ordonez, CHW CYA: Dan Haren, OAK (his success won't last) ROY: Brendan Harris, TBD
  18. Terrific sample size. .230/.327/.376/.703, 88 OPS+ (Bowen Major leagues) .238/.324/.391/.715, 90 OPS+ (Bowen Minor leagues) .385 BABIP in 2007.
