    I think that the goal of team building is to keep a good run differential. Jason Bay was the Sox most valuable offensive player this year according to WARP, just barely behind Jon Lester as the Sox most valuable player overall. Losing him, and getting nothing but Josh Reddick in return would be a huge disappointment and could only be blamed on nitpicking Holliday's improvement over Bay, which would be a pretty lame excuse if this team fails to make the playoffs in 2010... a distinct possibility.

    ... I'm quoting from the Game 2 thread, moving it to offseason discussion...

    Horrible call by the ump. As if 3x the salary wasn't enough, they had to miss balls that were 6 inches fair too.
  5. example1
    Funny how that happens.

    The Yankees will still win this game.

    That hit may have scored a run, or it would be 1 and 3rd... 0 out.

    Perhaps I should summon Mantracker to track down that umpire...

    Amazing. What a horrible, horrible call. What the hell is there an outfield umpire for if he misses that call. That was an AWFUL AWFUL blown call. A couble with nobody out? Instead he gets a single.

    Alex Gonzalez looks as good as everyone else does. *Note: never a good sign.

    What the f*** is Lowell doing? It looks like he's playing pepper.

    WOW! Double Play.

    Remarkable how games like this make the improbable happen. There probably is something to being able to perform in the "clutch", but that performance may be nothing more than being able to do what you usually can do. Some guys seem to melt.

    I'm here, sort of. Not planning on posting throughout game... we'll see.

    Yeah, because he's been such an awful player for the rest of his career. Only fools believed that A-Rod had some "clutch" phobia that predisposed him to never do anything good in the playoffs. Bull. Dude's an all-time great hitter. Joe Nathan sure as hell didn't think A-Rod was jinxed.
  18. example1
    That's f***ing baseball for you.
  19. example1
    That's why Nathan isn't as good as Rivera.
  20. example1
    Yay! A-Rod. You're our hero. This isn't like post-seasons past, this is a new and reformed A_Rod... or small-sample sizes and random variation are doing what just about everyone would expect, especially with Blackburn on the mound. Jesus, I hate the Yankees.
  21. example1
    I have no way of predicting such things. I doubt anyone does.
  22. example1
    I have visions of A-Rod standing on 2nd after clearing the bases, slapping his hands together and cheering himself on... I hope I'm wrong.

    That's what I'm saying though, it is SUCH a simple idea that I'm sure it either isn't practical or has huge flaws in it. Bill James comes up with stats like that while he shits on the toilet (or otherwise ). That tells me there's some reason not to do it. Perhaps the other variables involved mean that if someone is going to go the extra step of factoring the value of OBP over SLG, you might as well start including park factors, league quality, schedule, pitchers faced, etc., and just go the whole way (at which point you're getting closer to a VORP type stat).
