  1. OPS is a nice "quick" stat, but it over-values slugging and under-values on-base percentage. So your question about how much actual dropoff in offense Polanco would represent is a fair one. There might not be any. OTOH other teams are aware of this too, and will value HR in their proper context. Combining this with the defensive metrics for Dozier, and I am suddenly not too optimistic about what quality of pitcher we can actually obtain for him. We might need to package Dozier with a good prospect below our very top-tier group, to get what we want. I am back to being on the fence about which of our second basemen to trade.
  2. 38 games in RF, 30 at 3B and 27 as DH... there are some who will claim that he's been out of position for all but 27.
  3. I researched it carefully, and not one of these guys even merited mention on baseball-reference.com. What a bad team!
  4. I guess people have looked it up by now, but I saw mention of 14 in the infamous 1982 season. That team had on its roster such stiffs as Tom Brunaski, Kent Herbek, Frank Voila, Garry Gaety, and a bunch of other guys I never heard of, so it's probably hopeless for the 2016 squad too.
  5. Oh-fer-something, I'm pretty sure. It's pretty hard for it to be any other way.
  6. Should I be alarmed that everyone here's an expert?
  7. The Twins hitters are going to be kicking themselves tomorrow about this game.
  8. There are different levels of cannibalism? And you know how to make value judgements on them?
  9. That is not an easy question and will require a long answer.
  10. In this world, we each travel our own Oregon Trail, and each have our own wagon.
  11. If it's one of those ballgames where we're behind 5-1 in the third inning can I call dibs on Dysentery?
  12. Certainly could have been. Good job Press.
  13. I will freely admit I could not. And you would rightly bench me.
  14. No need to trade either Dozier or Polanco this coming off-season, to free up that 2B logjam, right?
  15. http://www.theallium.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/puzzled-man.png
  16. Wasted at-bat by Rosario. I'm going out on a limb and say that he didn't like receiving the bunt sign.
  17. I think we decided the first week of the season that they were jinxing us. We might need to revisit that.
  18. Pipp's probably your better bet for double-digit HRs in the occasional season, if Gordon doesn't pan out.
  19. The radio team (Gladden?) put the jinx on at the end of the third inning by mentioning it. Sheesh. N00bs. Everyone here knows better, right?
  20. Is there a pitch that Rosario won't take a swing at?
