Don't worry, these guys are here for our protection. [IMG] [IMG]
Wow, a fellow DIPS proponent. I thought I was alone over here. :D I actually think you're putting too little emphasis on defense however. I...
There are Yao Chinese National Teams jerseys being sold here....
I disagree. At this point in his career, Bagwell is ideally suited for the 2-hole. He draws a ton of walks - even with his batting average...
I would be far more worried about the Cubs than I would the Cards if I was an Astros fan. St. Louis's starting pitching simply cannot keep up the...
Another thing to consider is that while the Astros are only 4 games out of the wild-card, there are 7 or 8 teams between them and the Cubs. It...
Tierney is a two-face of Seinfeldian proportions. Sometimes, like in NewsRadio and Liar, Liar, she is absolutely gorgeous. Other times, like in...

Why so? Do you like having your head stuck in the sand? Do you enjoy relying on the same methods of player evaluation that have been used for...
Bassfly, you finally found some common ground. You are right, OPS does not correct for park effects, so a player in Coors will have inflated...
There are a couple of things I'd like to rebut in your post. First, in my opinion, R & RBI are two of the most overrated stats in determining...
If you read my post immediately proceding this one, you will read where I concede that there are some holes in using OPS as a comparison tool....
If you can't compare the 2 players, how do you know that Ichiro was more valuable? The MVP Award is rarely given to the player who had the best...
