I for one am glad Rice finally made it in to the Hall.
And whoever it was that said those nice things about Bonds…..he better not…(and I repeat) BETTER NOT get into the HOF.
And IMO, Hank Aaron is still HR Champ.

now we’re up to third order? can we get even more theoretical?/ how ’bout 4th or 5th or 6th order? More helpfully, how ’bout just an order of bacon and eggs over light? It has about as much relationship to reality and it will keep you from starving while being so immersed in statistical fantasies. Sheeesh. Some folks just have WAY too much time on their hands.

Speaking of Hank Aaron – who had a better weekend then him? He laid out the “asterisk plan” for all the cheaters headed to the Hall. I believe he’s also one of the influences behind the Pete Rose reconsideration. There are a few guys who when they speak all of MLB should listen and heed them. Mr. Aaron is at the head of that class imo.

Sure, the Phillies may win the division without Roy Halladay. HOWEVER, come play-off time, against good teams who will have the pitching to not give up 6-7 runs a game to the Phillies…….do you think that the Philies want to go into a 7 game series with just Cole Hamels, Joe Blanton, Jamie Moyer, and A.J. Happ? The first 3 are not pitching ANYWHERE CLOSE to the level they pitched last year.
The Phillies KNOW that they will need Roy Halladay come play-off time or they will have NO CHANCE to advance in the play-offs. The Blue Jays know this. So they are VERY SMART to hold out on the Phillies best prospects.

Anders, Steve from OH, Flange1, everyone else who watched that press conference,
I think part of the reason he was shaking was because of the back and forth between him and Adam Rubin. Guy was nervous, and clearly wouldn’t have had the uper hand if that conversation continued. Rubin grabbed the mic initially, but then thought about it, passed it on because he wanted to articulate his response in the right way.
I’ve seen front office folk flip out about certain things and what not(Kenny Williams saying Frank Thomas better not get in White Sox business, which was about as classic a blow up I have ever read or seen- although I can’t find it online), but I have never seen something like this. One of the SD folk, Gillick, Jed Hoyer(I think that’s the Boston guy), Shapiro, etc. A lot of guys are going to be attracted to that job, I would think. Although it is a challenge, with how strong the media presence is. But from a pure baseball prespective, you have a great core and money(although maybe not) to spend on the draft as long as you can convince Wilpon to pay above slot in the Rule 4 and on the international front.

DAP- It’s like first and second order Win%, but it takes into account strength of schedule. (THWG)
well then all we gotta do is talk Selig into basing winning the division on 3rd order wins. Even if we had to bribe him it would likely be cheaper that trading for or signing what it would take to win the regular way. Real good stat there, it can turn a middle of the road, ordinary team into a champion with no extra cost at all. I like it. Obviously very meaningful sheeesh.
Steve from OH
July 27th, 2009

nolie, I agree that it’s all theoretical, but so is the concept of finding something that will attempt to predict how well your team will do in the future, right? It’s better than nothing and at least it has some statistical correlation and proof behind it, as opposed to the old-fashioned “maybe they’re not so sh!tty,” LOL! Obviously, the major flaw in the equation is the use of defensive stats to determine the defensive aptitude of each team. IMO, defensive stats aren’t at all great, and scouting is waaay more important in assessing defensive quality. They’re nice to have for schlubs like me who can’t possibly expect to watch a player play nearly enough to assess his defensive quality. But IMO, the hitting stats are very good and very informative.
But, I should point out, that 2nd and 3rd order wins are better predictors of future winning % than simply winning % or pythag record…

He’s not the only one, did you see the Mets scouting report on him? “the gist of it was, he’s 0-2 when he steps in the box” Heh. I like that the Mets pitching coach showed it to his arrogant ass. Anyway. Nobody ever said he didn’t have the talent, but if you NYers ever get is his head? Forget it. He’s a mental case. A few more plays like that hiding from the ball bit he did the other night and you’ll see what we mean.

nolie- Those stats aren’t used to justify that perhaps a team isn’t as bad as its record suggests, but rather they are used as a predictor of future trends. In other words, these stats aren’t based on the W-L record thus far, but are based on actual gameplay stats and serve to explain how well a team should do given its remaining schedule.
Steve from OH
July 27th, 2009
9:03 pm
Efrim, I don’t think it’s so much about paying above slot as it is paying responsibly. Of course, you’ve gotta pay to get the top talent left, but I think (hope) that each FO has a system in place to place a (if only ballpark) dollar value on each player, and then decide “if I pay this much for this player, how much production would I have to get in major league play or via a trade to make the risk of the investment worth it?” or something along those lines. I think the casual fan (like myself) overlooks that kinda thing. So while it’s nice to suggest that we pay 6MM for Matzek, maybe the risk isn’t worth the reward, know what I mean? My greatest fear is that the Mets will hire someone responsible like that…

Steve from OH, of course. I’m more just saying that team should be willing to go above slot for the right player. Gotta be worth it, make sense for that team. When you have the financial resources the Mets have(or had), then you need to take advantage of it. Not just major league payroll. It takes more than that, as you know.

Heath,
It’s an interesting thought to put Hanson in the pen. Kind of like David Price last year. But I’d hate to mess with what’s working. I think it makes more sense to put Huddy out there and let him slowly build up arm strength. And if they’re lucky enough to reach the post-season, you’d love to have a guy with Hudson’s experience out there who could go 2-3 innings if Kawakami or D. Lowe have one of their 5 inning – 110 pitch efforts.
Steve from OH

Absolutely. Actually, if a team’s payroll is say, 100MM, I’d bump it down to 98 or 97MM if I could and invest those few extra bucks in the draft or international front. Even if you think those players won’t pan out, you can trade them later. Good minor leaguers are a valuable currency, and I’m shocked that a big-market team like NY (actually, both New Yorks) would ignore that…

I’d like to think you’re kidding with this nonsense, but clearly, you’re not.
OBP as the be-all in determing a career HOF-worthy?!? What a joke. Did you actually see Dawson play, or are you a 16 year old stat head that can’t lift his head from the computer screen? The stats- 438 HR, nearly 1600 RBIs are pretty impressive, but perhaps you don’t remember what an exceptional outfielder he was before the turf destroyed his knees, or his terrific arm. Dawson was an exceptional player on some decent, but many poor teams. His case for the HOF is pretty good, IMO.

I’m ok with the Braves not making any “major” moves. I have a feeling that the Braves will make a number of “major” moves in the off season though.
There is no one available that would warrant the Braves making a big move. However, perhaps Frank Wren can somehow maneuver a trade for some solid bullpen help. In blowout wins, pretty much every bullpen “looks strong”. However, in pressure situations, where you NEED a pitcher to come in with runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs……..you need a reliever to come in who can CONSISTENTLY come in and get 3 outs without giving up runs. That is why I’ve never been sold on Peter Moylan being used as that dependable 7th or 8th inning guy.
As far as the offense is concerned, I’m fine with what we have. When Infante comes back, Bobby will have even more flexibility (Infante can play both the infield and outfield).

I have 2 questions for you:
1. In 3 or so weeks, when Tim Hudson will more than likely be called up……..assuming that there are no injuries to our current starting 5 and they are pitching well………..do you think that Tim Hudson “should” be inserted in the starting rotation….OR……used as a short reliever to help Soriano and Gonzalez close games?
2. If you think that Hudson should be used as a starter……then who do you think “should” go to the bullpen…..and…….what role should he be used in the bullpen?
3. Who do you think would be the odd man out in the bullpen if Tim Hudson were to bump one of our starters to the bullpen?

Learner – Technically I have no idea if they’ve changed Frenchy in any way but he’s clearly enjoying himself and has been very relaxed since he got to NY. The players have said many nice things about him and the announcers love the football mentality he’s brought to the team. Can’t say I’ve seen that but they mention it almost every night. (At least the games I’ve seen which have been a bit sporadic of late).
Appears to be a classic case of a change of scenery doing him some good. Time will tell.

Anders has Francouer even walked yet? Last I checked he hadnt, havnt paid attention to the current game. What this means, is he hasnt changed and he is just on a hot streak. He will come back to his old self.

Ok. This thing with Frenchy is really strange. He puts up some of the worse numbers in the history of baseball among players who play on a regular basis for 1.5 years and then goes to the Mets for 13 games and has 15 RBI in those 13 games and has 3 homers in 52 AB’s whereas before he hit 16 homers in his previous 903 AB’s. That’s a homer every 17.33 AB’s now versus one every 56.44 before.
I don’t regret the trade for a second. I feel that he was never going to be able to perform like that with the Braves again. This also reinforces with me that Frenchy is a major headcase and is heading for a disastrous fall probably sooner than later. Maybe the Mets will be stupid enough to give him a multi year deal. I certainly hope so.

Anders………..While I think that the Braves have a need for bullpen help…….I do not think that in the end, the cost will be worth what is “available” on the market right now.
There are simply too many teams chasing bullpen help. There simply arent enough quality arms available on the market. Knowing that, that is why I said “I dont see Frank Wren making any major moves”.

Paul Lentz – Your 8:44 was pure conjecture and opinion. Unless yu believe that every player who is traded will revert back to how they played in April. Do you believe that Mr. Lentz? I didn’t think so.
That, you see is what was wrong with your 8:44. Kabish?
