    I love CPR. I have three of their albums.

    Yes, late September and early October having become debate-able.

    The parallels of Ernie Banks's career to Joe's are striking. There's never an exact match between high-end players, but the main difference I see is that we don't know yet whether Joe still will be a productive everyday player at age 38. If he does, the analogy I see says that he breezes into the Hall when the time comes. The chances are very high that he doesn't, and then the analogy becomes problematic. I still say he should go in, but would he? (I guess that's what this thread is about. )

    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.

    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.

    I didn't post anything incorrect. You are right that he did flash some power. But you are still pining over some guy who had pedestrian numbers in a league that's probably around AA in talent these days.

    Like tinder, but not gross. LOL.

    I researched it carefully, and not one of these guys even merited mention on baseball-reference.com. What a bad team!

    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.

    Oh-fer-something, I'm pretty sure. It's pretty hard for it to be any other way.

    *Sigh* Get'em tomorrow, I guess.

    He should marry Mia Farrow Hamm.

    Should I be alarmed that everyone here's an expert?
  15. ashbury
    Ick. Ish. Ugh.

    The Twins hitters are going to be kicking themselves tomorrow about this game.

    There are different levels of cannibalism? And you know how to make value judgements on them?
  18. ashbury
    That is not an easy question and will require a long answer.

    In this world, we each travel our own Oregon Trail, and each have our own wagon.

    If it's one of those ballgames where we're behind 5-1 in the third inning can I call dibs on Dysentery?
  21. ashbury
    Certainly could have been. Good job Press.
  22. ashbury
    FTFY someone
  23. ashbury
    I will freely admit I could not. And you would rightly bench me.
  24. ashbury
    No need to trade either Dozier or Polanco this coming off-season, to free up that 2B logjam, right?
