Just imagine if our sixth starter was Sixto.
-
I had to chuckle at how short the Rockies' bar is on that graph.
-
Robles is in the picture too, right?
-
Leave it to the Rays to be the first to jump on it.
-
The ability to trade a pick is new, right?
-
Jax needs a fact checker.
-
That was Jax talking, not Sam.
-
Hill had a +1.7 fWAR last year.
-
What qualifies as a decent shot? Last year was a very good year for the crapshoot theory.
-
2021 Perez = 2022 Hill 2021 Richards = 2022 Wacha
-
FWIW Keith Law had the 2 Padres prospects ranked #8 and #18 in their system.
-
JBJ with another dinger. Spring OPS of 1.042.
-
The difference between bWAR and fWAR with pitchers can be pretty large. Rick Porcello being a prime example. His fWAR is about 50% better.
-
Bloom has been a prospect-clutcher so far, there's no doubt about that.
-
Regardless, there's a lot of metric talk out there too. Globe writers like Speier and Finn quote the metrics a lot. Peter Abraham makes use of them. Shaughnessy avoids them like the plague. There's room for all of it.

LOL on the green part, I was thinking the same thing.
-
What you're really talking about is the average old geezer fan.
-
And that comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at jad and Dewey.
-
I never said there's anything wrong with your opinion.
-
Frankly, you guys just don't get why WAR can be useful or interesting. I actually like it more for the positive aspects, like the way WAR confirms that Bogey is a very valuable player in spite of his defensive shortcomings. Or that JBJ only needs to OPS about .700 to be valuable because of his fielding. It's not even that complicated, really.
-
You and Swiharts Ghost would make a scary team, that's for sure.
-
Are you two playground pals now, whispering secrets to each other?
-
Well Dewey, no offense whatsoever, but if an old school fan like Old Red can just ignore the advanced metrics and not let them have any impact on his enjoyment, why can't you do the same? You seem to go out of your way to let the advanced metrics bother you. (Just trying to stir up more discussion.)
-
First you said "even without the new metrics you knew who had good range". Now you're saying you don't think about it or care about it much, which is a whole different thing.
-
Seems like you're evading the point now. He was a minus fielder but most people assumed he was a plus fielder because of the low error rate. And the Gold Glove awards he got were a joke.
