    You don't know what you're talking about. Just another thing that is obvious.

    Nice. I'll remember that bailout strategy next time I get my ass handed to me...

    :D:D That's right Dipre. The team as a whole is fielding poorly. Six of the nine defensive positions, including the most important ones, are well below average. That is obvious.

    You asked me about the team as a whole, not about three individual players. The team as a whole is fielding poorly. That is obvious.

    Beltre has excellent quickness, but he has displayed stone hands and poor throwing mechanics. He's good for quite a few great plays, but routine plays are an adventure.
  6. rhet
    Yes, that is obvious.
  7. rhet
    Never really seen a team go from fielding poorly to fielding well, without changing personnel.

    You are not talking substance here. Start with this. DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT BELIEVE TEAM FIELDING SLUMPS CAN BE BROKEN?

    They took Wang out the rotation, moved Hughes to setup, moved Jeter to leadoff, moved Damon to left, made Swisher the everyday right fielder, got Arod back, worked in the young catchers, etc.

    Your reasoning is inconsistent. If you agree to disagree, why bother with the jibberish about the sample. You are not talking substance here. Start with this. Do you or do you not believe fielding slumps can be broken?

    They recognized their problems and made changes.

    You can base your opinions on anything you like. But it is folly to dismiss my opinion, based on many years of observation, because this team hasn't played a lot of games. It's a simple non sequitur.
  13. rhet
    'Opinions' don't require statistical significance.

    Not a simple question, but I'll give it a shot. My opinion (i.e., not a fact) is that team hitting and pitching slumps can often last two or three weeks before returning to 'normal'. However, teams that field badly for a few weeks usually field badly all season. It is not a fully recoverable slump in my opinion.

    6 games behind and playing poorly are facts everyone can understand.
  17. rhet
    It is a fact that the defense has played atrociously. Predictions of future events are not facts, nor did I state such.

    Part of the bad ERA is bad fielding. Whether it's errors that are called hits or plays that should be made but aren't, this is the worst group I can remember.

    Oh, and let me know the next ball he actually catches without snow coning it.
  22. rhet
    Haha, the first two ground balls of the day he booted. Both easy enough that you could have probably fielded them. He's on his way to being the worst fielding third baseman we've had since Butch Hobson.
  23. rhet
    If the assumption was that Vasquez was going to strike out guys like he did last year, I don't think that was a bad offer at all.
  24. rhet
    The new guys are playing timidly. How else to explain the putrid defense every night?
  25. rhet
    The only question is whether Fielder is going to continue to suck. If you think he will, you're right, that deal is bad for you. But if you think he's going to hit like he did the last few years, it's a good deal for you. Hughes has ace stuff and you're trading your backup 2nd baseman. Mo can be had for another closer and a bat.
