If you can get that deal, take it immediately. More likely, Wade deals Scott at the deadline for an crappy aging middle reliever - that's kind of...
But it also boils down to $$$. Do you spend a lot of money to bring in the low-risk, low-reward option, or do you use that money elsewhere and go...
You do know what you have in hunter - a slightly above-average hitter who is a great defender who is going to get a gigantic contract that will...
Scott had a pretty poor 2007, and he still had a similar OPS+ (119) as Hunter, which was close to a career-best (122). Scott hit only .255, and...
But Scott has been better than Hunter offensively over that time. Yes, Hunter would improve the defense, but is it worth it financially? You can...
Berkman is a career .300 hitter, Hunter is a career .270 hitter Berkman has a career OBP of .412, Hunter has a career OBP of .324 Their XBH is...
What a waste of money. Upgrading the outfield should be one of the team's lowest priorities when they have other pressing needs. Neither Hunter...
Agree with a lot of what you're saying. Willy is young enough to improve his game, but looking at comparable players (or the lack thereof) does...
Actually, I misspoke. Improving the rotation should be the #1 priority, but addressing the offensive output at C/2B/SS should be far, far ahead...
I honestly don't see how you can believe this. In 2007, there were 16 catchers in the NL with 300+ PA, and Ausmus was the worst offensive player...
Luke Scott's career OBP is 30 points higher than Willy T's (granted, in 1/2 as many AB). Why can't he bat lead-off?
In a funny coincidence, I was just sent a link to a Dodger blog that was analyzing the team's 2007 performance - today's contestant? Juan Pierre
While the topic of EuroExpansion is an interesting one, that article was terribly written and Kenny doesn't seem like a very bright bulb.
Taveras would be the 4th-best OF in Houston right now. He's had a fine calendar year, but players whose OBP is propped up almost entirely by...
I really, really (add really about 50 more times) dislike Ann Coulter, and I think she's a hateful person and a terrible representive of...
1.) It's not. However, you cannot contruct your lineup in favor of a situation that is relatively rare. The goal of any lineup should be to get...
I forgot to add the synopsis of this guy's study on contact rate:
K/PA? Meaningless. Simply making contact does not make a good player. I was browsing around and found a list of the best and worst active...
That is simply an inaccurate post. Pretty much every analysis I've seen shows that the correlation factor between AVG and RS is around 0.84,...
He hit 0.335 ... once. The rest of the time was around 0.280. Players like him - those with no semblance of patience at the plate and absolutely...
