Today, 05:52 PMSo, if you DFA Butera and he gets taken by another team, what do you do if Mauer or Doumit get's hurt? Or Doumit get's traded? Herrmann is really...37 replies | 730 view(s) -
Today, 03:35 PMChalk me up to agreeing with John. The money excuse doesn't seem likely to me given Hicks and Arcia.51 replies | 711 view(s)

Today, 03:20 PMWe had this thread in the offseason when the rumors first appeared. There is a lot of sentimentalism surrounding Joe and the majority of people...19 replies | 342 view(s)

Today, 01:55 PMThere was a quote on MLBTradeRumors.com at the beginning of the season by a gm essentially saying Butera would get claimed for sure. He said that...37 replies | 730 view(s)

Today, 01:41 PMFirst let me just say I agree with Alex, I am suspicious of your slow pither theory. However, wins and losses still wouldn't tell you about who is a...130 replies | 2508 view(s)

Today, 01:03 AMI agree on Hermsen. You can't really DFA Butera even if he was healthy because of how much Herrmann is struggling in AAA. There needs to be a...37 replies | 730 view(s)

Today, 12:52 AMChief the problem with your premise is that W's are a team stat. It's not a pitcher stat. It tells you nothing about how a pitcher actually pitched....130 replies | 2508 view(s)

Today, 12:17 AMThere is no pitch f/x system in the minors. I think that it's a guy marking where he believes those pitches were for the Gameday app. This last...3 replies | 301 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:20 PMIf wins and losses are determined by a team effort, which I think you're agreeing with, then by definition they require the hitters support right? ...130 replies | 2508 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:20 PMNo doubt Morneau has been hitting better recently. His .867 OPS these last 24 games has been good. However do to his terrible .628 OPS in the first...24 replies | 483 view(s)

Yesterday, 02:14 PMThat would be important if RBIs had any bearing on how well Morneau is hitting. But they don't. They are a function of Mauer's absurd .416 OBP...24 replies | 483 view(s)

Yesterday, 12:53 PMI don't know if he'll continue at his current pace but the Florimonster has been a pleasant surprise all around. If he can just be around average...24 replies | 483 view(s)

05-20-2013, 02:46 AMThis really isn't a stat per se but I didn't know where else to put it. In the Reds vs. Phillies game on Sunday, down 1 run, Delmon Young drew a 1...123 replies | 3870 view(s)

05-19-2013, 11:12 PMSeveral people have made comments similar to this about trading Parmelee. If you don't think he is good enough for a bottom feeder team like the...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-19-2013, 04:39 PMRBI's tell you nothing about how a player hits with RISP. For his career Joe Mauer has a .344 avg, .960 OPS with 492 RBI's. Justin Morneau has a...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-19-2013, 02:23 PMThat link has no correlation study as others have said. They compare team rankings, not actual team numbers. Logically, of course you're probably...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-19-2013, 12:49 AMThe real problem with RBI's is that it doesn't directly measure anything useful. You want to know if someone is a good hitter? OPS is a much better...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 09:40 PMAs others have mentioned to you several times, RBI's are a team statistic not an individual accomplishment. The fact that Morneau is OPSing .760 is...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 06:23 PMThere are also better things. I'm of the opinion that signing somebody because "he isn't the worst player out there," is a bad reason and a bad...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 05:54 PMNot only that but now you have the same problem but it's 2014, not 2013, and Morneau is now a year older. No, a decision needs to be made this...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 03:24 PMSo it is worth keeping a player who potentially will be below average (not a stretch since he was a below average 1st baseman in 2012) because the...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 02:58 PMYeah, my bad. I was looking at Pence's 2011 trade from the Astros to the Phillies. I agree with you that Morneau would not bring back as much since...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-18-2013, 12:44 AMIf Justin Morneau is putting up anywhere near those numbers at the deadline he'll bring back a nice prospect in the 100-200 range. Those kinds of...121 replies | 4198 view(s)

05-17-2013, 10:32 PMMorneau is such an enigma right now with many variables currently. I agree that it makes him hard to know what to do with him. I will say that if...121 replies | 4198 view(s)
