    And now that he's been outed, he throws off the guise and jumps right back into what he does best. Sorry chap. I guess you'll be banned by the time my shift is over

    Another dominant performance from Burnett. The offense got just enough and Joba slammed the door. See, this is how you beat the Orioles....

    57% groundballs for a lefty speed demon. I know you have your averages which work for your average speed, average player. But it just doesnt work for Gardner, Ellsbury, Crawford, or Ichiro. All left handed speed demons. He beats out over half of any GB hit to the left side of the infield. Any GB up the middle is a hit. And anything to the 2b is far from routine.

    and Hi Dutchy. I knew it was you from day 1, but just figured I'd wait until the rest of the board figured it out. For your next SN, you should use the letter 4 or something that signifies 4 of something, since it'll be your 4th one. It is obvious that you have access to either multiple CPUs, have a good handle on computing, or have shadow software that lets you hide or change your IP with every login

    I meant in the first few weeks. Over the past 2 seasons, his first 2-3 weeks would have him in the mid .200s somewhere with a homer or two, then he would massacre the ball from late April to the end of the yr. This yr, it is a bit late in coming
  6. jacksonianmarch
    I said when we had him that he was a future .300 double digit homerun guy who plays good D and will steal you 20+ bases. I just didnt know if he was that guy this yr, which is why the Yanks pulled the trigger on Granderson
  7. jacksonianmarch
    His BABIP is near .600
  8. jacksonianmarch
    He'll end up with a BA .300 or higher with around 20 bombs by seasons end. He always starts a bit slow, just this yr is a but slower than the last 2
  9. jacksonianmarch
    2 for 5, 2 doubles today. He'll warm up. One thing that is pretty encouraging is the emergence of 4 position prospects this yr and their fast starts. Austin Romine is hitting .354 with an OPS well into the .900 range. Corban Joseph is hitting .330 with an OPS in the high .800 range. Brandon Laird is showing both patience and power as evidenced by his 5 homers and much improved IsoPatience. And David Adams has picked up after a lull, to keep his AVG at .330. 3 of the 4 are doing this at AA, meaning they are primed to jump right onto the prospect map.

    Again, completely and totally wrong. Look at the ground ball percentages. Ground balls for speedsters mean increased infield hits. Period. If he can continue a GO/AO near 1.5, he will have a BABIP near .350. Book it
  11. jacksonianmarch
    He isnt a 9ERA guy. Hence, his current performance isnt attributable to his history. Something is wrong. Did he age in one yr, possible but not likely. Vazquez and his coaches say that it is all mechanical. He is said to be a guy who needs to be reminded of his mechanics a lot, ie he is kinda stupid. And he does have a pretty difficult motion. My guess is that he's either hurt or completely messed up mechanically. We'll find out soon
  12. jacksonianmarch
    Yes he does. The thing is, though, at the time the injury was a concern especially since it involved the elbow. The sox did protect themselves well, though. If that elbow lets go, they get a free season out of him
  13. jacksonianmarch
    He started the season on the DL 2 seasons in a row.
  14. jacksonianmarch
    Once again, inappropriate use of BABIP. He is trying to hit the ball on the ground. His BABIP should be high. When he makes contact, he is trying to hit the ball on the ground. His stats bear that out. In 2008, his GO/AO was 0.98. In 2009, it was 1.11. In 2010, it is 1.46. Also helping his BA is a drop in K rate. He's dropped from 16% from 2009 to 12%. Here are some guys who are comparable in speed to Gardner and their BABIP Crawford .331 career BABIP Ichiro .357 career BABIP Ellsbury .328 career BABIP Putting the ball in play + elite speed is great. Now, .384, probably not sustainable. But he will never drop to below .300
  15. jacksonianmarch
    RS, I'd believe you if he wasnt THIS bad. If his ERA was hovering around 5, then I'd tend to agree. Being this bad is not a factor of the league. Something is wrong
  16. jacksonianmarch
    He pulled a Vazquez, the only game Vazquez won, he gave up 3-4 runs in 5IP
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Go figure. Buch pitches a few gems and loses. Then today he pulls a Vazquez yet wins
  18. jacksonianmarch
    CC is becoming even more economical. Drop the K rate, get more grounders as needed. The ace wins again
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Well, Henry isnt firing Theo, I will tell you that much
  20. jacksonianmarch
    IF the sox ERA stays this high and IF the errors do continue to mount, I wouldnt be surprised if Farrell gets the axed. I also wouldnt be surprised if Theo fires one of Francona's other coaches to remind him that this is unacceptable

    depends on the type of non-Hodgkin's. Certain types are more treatable and other types are untreatable. Lester had a very good type to have if you had to pick one
  24. jacksonianmarch
    Hodgkin's lymphoma is typically rather treatable nowadays
  25. jacksonianmarch
    He's well on his way to 640PA's. There is no way he turns down a 10 mil option in 2011
