    If we only make one acquisition, I would exercise Buch's option and keep him in the rotatio for his usual half season. This will tax some of the depth. I am curious to see how Workman bounces back. I think he will be a nice bullpen arm and depth option.

    i would like to see Hill stick around too, but I think he will want a major league contract, and I don't think we have a spot for him. At age 35, time is running out on Hill and he will want to make some money.

    Win! Send the Yankees into a panic.
  5. a700hitter
    Beats Boston weather.

    There is no character assassination of Hanley that I am seeing. What I am seeing based on team reports is a guy who is self-inflicting wounds.
  7. a700hitter
    And the Hanley's are easy to identify.

    DD recently said that he didn't need to look at any metrics to know that Jose Iglesias is a very good fielder. I think that I will stick with my own test rather than a stat compiled on plotting of data points by individual's. I trust my eyes more than I trust theirs.

    LOL!! I usually try to have a point. You are one of the people that tries to understand my point (whether you agree with it or not). Much appreciated.
  10. a700hitter
    It is interesting stuff, and I do like to look at the stuff for teams and players that I don't watch very often.
  11. a700hitter
    It should be standardized as should all data collection that is used to compile official stats. The possibility of team meddling should be eliminated otherwise the data doesn't have integrity.

    I am glad that you like them. They are just not very good, and I am not one to cherry pick a month or two of performance and get excited about it. Yes, I am encouraged by ER and think he should be fine. Miley is what he is which is a number 4 starter. Taken as a whole the current group would be the staff of another sub .500 team next season, because they are just not very good.
  13. a700hitter
    hehe me too! Lol!

    Tomorrow night CC is going with a spent bullpen backing him up. They could be in the midst of a full collapse. If they get swept tomorrow, real panic could set in.
  15. a700hitter
    Bailey is still a pig. Lol!
  16. a700hitter
    Blame whatever you like, but I think it is the pitching that DD will be fixing in the long off season-- that and looking for a place to dump Hanley. Edit: That's it for you! I am officially de- friending you.;-)
  17. a700hitter
    The problem with this team has always been the pitching. With our pitching, these games had no chance of mattering.
  18. a700hitter
    Good point, but it also makes me wonder what data or stats they were looking at to think that he could be successful on the heels of his horrible 2014 performance.
  19. a700hitter
    But we don't know to what extent unintentional human error plays a role.
  20. a700hitter
    He is 39. He is not the same player from 2005, 2006, but a guy who hits 30 HRs and 100 RBi every year isn't the reason why you have a bad team. Don't be offended if I disagree with you if you are making that point.
  21. a700hitter
    There are stats regarding how a defender gets a jump on a ball, routes taken to balls etc. These like any data points plotted for anything else are subject to human error. I wasn't concerned about falsification which is why the Pedro story was such a surprise to me.

    Is your underwear stuck in your ass crack of something tonight? Straighten it out and get off my back. I am not aiming this at anyone in particular on this board. Maybe you are having short term memory issues, but the murmuring in the press early in the season that Ortiz was over the hill was prevalent enough that he commented on it a few times when he started raking. So, yes it is aimed at all those people who think the big man is done every time he has had a slump over the last 6 years, but no, it is not aimed at anyone here, because like you, I don't know who that would be. Lol! So, in answering your question, yes, you are missing something. Edit: Ortiz has 16 million ,reasons to play next season.

    Statistics is not math. A lot of advanced sabremetrics is based on graphs, spray charts etc. That is the kind of data that I was talking about. Batting Average, Slugging %, ERA etc. do not constitute advanced sabremetrics.
  24. a700hitter
    He's thru, done, kaput. It is time to send him to a nice old age home in the DR where they will spoon feed him mashed plantains.
  25. a700hitter
    Lol! I just don't have a lot of faith in data collection, the bedrock of advanced sabremetrics. I knew there was a variance in jugs gund, but I thought that was a function of brand and margin of error in the design, but I didn't think that GMs were falsifying radar readings. I did find that surprising. It also makes me more broadly question data collection. That is all.
