It looks like Young will be our third baseman
-
THis is a useful stat.
-
Don't we disagree about enough?
-
The outliers are included when determining the averages. It's a much more effective way of establishing a level of performance than to pull out the bad starts and the good starts. I just don't see the value in that analysis. If someone wants to present evidence that the Chicago team has terrible defensive range thus allowing more hits, that would be encouraging to me. Just taking out a bad start and calling it an outlier is bogus to me. You can disagree.
-
I would really like to pick up Howie Kendrick to play 3rd. He would be the incumbent next year unless WMB can win the job-- then Kendrick could move to 1st.
-
I don't qagree that there are outliers, unless the guy was pitching with an eyepatch or against a team using aluminum bats. You measure a pitcher by his full body of work. There is no cherry picking. Like I said, if he was in a hot streak now, that would be valid, because maybe he made an adjustment to improve his performance. Normal seasonal ups and downs just factor into overall performance.
-
If he wanted to say that he is pitching better lately, that is a legitimate argument, but the stats he put up didn't support that argument. He didn't show a progression of increasing good outings. He just pulled out the bad start. That's just not a valid measure of anything.
-
I read it. I don't agree with it. Her's a question that I ask people when they tell me that a pitcher had a good outing except for one bad inning. Do you know what you call a pitcher who has one bad inning (4 or more runs) every start? A bad pitcher.
-
Take awayv his bad start and he is a very good pitcher? I don't think it works that way.
-
It depends on how things turn out.
-
He would take ABs away from Gomes. I don't think that he would be such an upgrade over Gomes to justify making the deal.

Iggy made a big impression on me during Spring Training. He had completely re-tooled his swing , and he was swinging the bat with authority. He was no longer a slap hitter. In Spring Training, he was hitting the ball hard but did not get results. When he got his chance with the big club, the hits started falling in at a very high rate. Recently, that started to normalize, but I don't think he will go back to being an offensive black hole. With Iggy leaving, it seems that some people think that we will see Bogaerts at age 20 (a la Machado for the O's last year). That would be exciting if he injects the energy that Machado did last year. I guess that Middlebrooks is an option, but I am not sure that they will want to risk inserting a black hole into a power slot in the lineup. I don't see Snyder as an option. The trade market also has to be a possibility.
-
LOL! Good point. The shoe is on the other foot this time. Those trades for nothing always seem to coincide with the player's rejuvenation for the Skanks. I hope that we have the same results.
-
if we win the championship, I'll never look back at the trade. I never thought about Hanley after 2007. I wouldn't care if he beat every record in the book. The same goes for anyone who gets traded to get us another championship in 2013.
-
me too.
-
Would you?
-
I like boobs. When I call him Ben the Boob, it is a term of affection. BTW, I wonder when was the last time that someone used that term in reference to Benny.
-
No, I think you are disagreeing with me because you are a racist.
-
I would rather have picked up most of Lee's salary and give JBJ, but not Bogaerts.
-
So, we got what we paid for. The question is whether it will help. I have said over and over that I would rather get a big bat.
-
The difference between Lee and Peavy is like night and day. I don't see that this trade will help us much in the playoffs.
-
i am not super pumped about this trade. I'd rather have gotten a big bat.
-
I hope they don't trade anyone. You never have enough pitching. We have been looking for a steady #5 since we thought we had excess pitching and traded Arroyo.
-
He'd hit a ton of doubles at Fenway.
-
Another deal is coming is my guess.
