    Unpossible, Cleveland's lineup is stacked.
  2. ORS
    Stupid.
  3. ORS
    Tek up there grovelling for walks.

    Paul Byrd is virtually worthless if he's walking people.
  5. ORS
    Joba busy showing why he's better than Clay right now.

    While I agree with you that I don't see how Wilfork is more important in the current scheme, I do think the Raiders are paying quite a price for past performance. I think Seymour is beyond the "game changing, impact player" phase of his career. Therefore, it's not that I think they won't be able to replace his production so much as it's that I think the notion that it allows them to pony up to keep the "more important" Wilfork is foolishness. It's a bad justification for the trade, and I'd be surprised if a team so comfortable letting players go once they've passed their usefulness phase changes their MO and goes the other way for Wilfork. I think the merit of the trade, cashing in on past performance and getting what looks like an early 1st round draft pick, stands on its own and doesn't need any reading of the tea leaves for additional justification. I'm just pissed my team's owner is always on the other end of these types of deals.

    Good thing that Guardians lineup is stacked. They are really hammering Feldman.

    Tuiasosopo. End Lowell to Seattle discussion. Carry on.

    Why? I don't know the specific formulae for either, as they are proprietary and unpublished, but from what I've read FRAA is a "blind" measure that doesn't consider any observations about the type of chances a player gets, whereas UZR is a "play by play" measure that, while allowing some subjectivity into the analysis, attempts to classify what type of balls a player had to field.

    And if I were to grade Terry Francona on the merits of his regular season managing, I'd think he would be worthless in a must win game. However, after watching him in the postseason, I know that he manages differently. Girardi deserves a chance to make his first postseason decision as a manager before being called unfit for that job.
  11. ORS
    Yeah, but by then, Wilfork may be beyond his usefulness as true NT. Therefore, given the current roster and scheme, the question still stands.
  12. ORS
    FWIW, how about you judge his ability to make playoff decisions once he's made his first one. The team is on cruise control right now. They have the division and home field locked up at this point. What happens between now and the start of the playoffs is irrelevant.
  13. ORS
    Francona is frustrating because he's guilty of letting his starters finish out games and giving guys rest during the regular season, but asided from a couple of questionable decisions this last ALCS, he's played to win in the postseason.

    Looks like Dojji is tired of being a punching bag for going to one extreme so now he's going to the other. None other than: Argenis Diaz One of these days, he'll resort to making reasonable, rational posts instead of this attention whoring that's going on now.

    This is shortsighted. The defensive value of brining Kotchman in is that it allows Youkilis to play 3rd and the put the statue on the pine.
  17. ORS
    His bat plays up at 3B. If they can get an impact bat at 1B, like they could have last offseason, they should, like they should have last offseason.
  18. ORS
    Prove it.

    This Buchholz kid looks good, but he's no fat kid from Nebraska.
  21. ORS
    Yeah, but it's a quiet 20.
  22. ORS
    The Scribe from the Shire's reverse lock is weaksauce compared to your trade scenario reverse lock kung fu. Papelbon retires with the Sox.
  23. ORS
    If this is your expectation, expect to be disappointed. That said, if he pitches that well and the BP does it's job, then they should win. If they lose, that's on the offense, not the pitching.
  24. ORS
    I don't think so. He was great. He was awful. This last time out, he was in the middle. Giving up 3 ER in 7 IP is a 3.86 ERA. That's about how good he is, IMO.
  25. ORS
    Or, it suggests that that quality of his stuff is somewhere in the middle of his bad stretch and his good stretch.
