  1. It’s not Schwarber v Duran: it’s Schwarber v Arroyo or Dalbec. Basically, Dalbec vs Arroyo, and we could platoon them by moving Kike around.
  2. Gotta love the .571 OBP. There are still posters who think Bloom did “nothing” at the deadline. Schwarber>>>> Rizzo
  3. Peaking early. (BTW, Sale hit 98 a few times and 96 several times, last night. Seems to be proving you wrong, so far.)
  4. I’ve already said I’d take both, and it might just be for 1 year, anyway. I’m worried about having enough cash to get better pitching.
  5. I’m one of Dalbec’s biggest supporters, but we all know he yo-go’s, and Arroyo at 2B is as good on O and makes the defense better at 2B and CF. There are reasons. I’d like to see Dalbec platooned at 1B with Schwarber and Schwarber in the OF when Dalbec is at 1B.
  6. Why can’t we ever find guys like him?
  7. 10 less RBIs than Bogey and 150 less PAs, too.
  8. Bobby Dee not so quietly up to .740, now!
  9. Devers sure finds ways to keep getting RBIs during slumps.
  10. 11 in the 6 games prior.
  11. .817 from May 1st to August 14th.
  12. It seems like JD has been on a steady decline since his red hot April, but watching a high OPS fall steadily can be deceiving. Until just the last week or two, he’s been remarkably consistent, and not too bad, really, except that we expect .900+ from him. 1.175 April .801 May .788 June .806 July .749 August (.563 last 2 weeks)
  13. Vaz swings at too many balls out of the zone.
  14. He topped 98 at least twice but don’t tell Jacko. He has his own numbers.
  15. who needs Charles Schwab at 1B?
  16. Except when he cried “No mas.”
  17. I have very little issue with the FG charts or their labels. Just don’t say Barnes is an average RPer, because that’s not what the charts say, nor the data. Say he’s an average or below average player- not average or below average RPer. No complaints from me.
  18. So, it’s Duran Duran
  19. Now, it’s .365 OBP and .451 SLG for a total of .816. Oh, the wonders of small sample sizes,
  20. Calling Barnes a role player and occasional solid player by the FG charts is fine with me, but he’s not below average as a RPer.
  21. My only concern in this discussion was determine whether Barnes was average, above or below. I’m fine with 3, 5, 6, 7 or however many categories to split them into. No doubt, he has been above average among RPers of his time. When you get into all time, it gets trickier. Do you go by quantity, quality, both. How short of quantity is allowed for a great stretch. Take Uehara: his numbers for a 3, 4 or 5 year stretch were better than Mo’s, but I wouldn’t place him above Mo, overall. If you asked me who was the best for any 4-5 consecutive years, I might say Komi. No way would Barnes even be in the discussion for top 50 of all time, but he’s in any above average category that brings the sample size down to his size. Out of 354 relief pitchers with 350+ IP since 1991, Barnes places 157 in fWAR, but it might be interesting to see where he places in WAR per 60 IP. He places 84th in FIP.
  22. actually, it's 2(.6 x OBP) + 2(.4 x SLG) That would bring Ottavino from .642 to .652. Doesn't seem like enough. 2(.6 x .347) + 2 (.4 x .295)
