Apparently HWSNBN has been calling me names on Facebook- since he does not have access to my page (since I blocked him) and there are no pictures of me on it anyways (my profile pic is of a fox) I have no idea where he is getting the idea that I am fat or ugly or anything else

nobody left to deep negotiate for. contemplating Russian Roulette with two bullets instead of one since Choo was lost….
Gonna go get my Glock for myself too…
As for those BABIP numbers, if that’s the range he’s been in lately, that’s pretty good…. saying that he’ll be around .325 or so isn’t too out of the ordinary. Though, based on his LD%, it seems that he should be around .315 or so… Currently, he’s at .358 against RHP (which includes any PH appearances), so there should be some regression there… I’ll look to see what some other lefties platooners do, but of the top of my head, I believe that Seth Smith (who hits righties well) has a babip of about .300

and Juan having a .327 babip next season is lower than his career .348 (which is, of course, heavily skewed by his RHP domination)
Who knows, maybe he’s a guy who can post BABIPs over .340 against RHP, but based on his other stats (LD%, FB%, etc.) he should be closer to .310 total (about .325 against RHP). He’s got 25 points to lose

I’ve seen your past posts, richbrave. Even checked out the “Crusaders” on YouTube. Nice sound, had never heard of them.

I was hoping for ALEX GORDON. But alas, it was not to be. WILLINGHAM or MORSE from the NATS was my fall-back option. I guess there’s still a possibility though it doesn’t look good what with the brass visiting down south to put eyeballs on the prospects and talk to the local management about their ability to fill the platoon out in LF and for the bench.
I think FRANCISCO’s doing all he can to earn a job at 3B, as is GATTIS and CUNNINGHAM in the OF.
ERNESTO MEJIA’s on the 40-man. I can’t believe he hasn’t been traded with the REV for a LF’er at this point.

Thanks, man. I was on Twitter during the baseball season. Had a problem reading through all the bad, here, to get to the good, after the collapse.
LF? Who knows… maybe Francisco has FINALLY decided to work at his craft. He seems to be doing it, lately. He’s still pretty young, so – you never know. Maybe, we’ll end up with Marteeeen back in left.
Wren, at least, has to consider that before he trades away any prospects, you know?

I don’t think Marteen is nearly as bothered by moving around as some bloggers are. If he likes it in Atlanta and they make him a good offer, I suspect he will take it. He’s not the type that would make an issue about position. He is a gamer that just wants to play and be the best contributer to the team that he can be. That is what is most important to him and why he is such a valuable teammate.
