    There's an off-day between the first two games, perfect time to empty the pen.
  2. snepp
    Nowhere to go but up? I see some potential here.
  3. snepp
    This is true, the middle infield options are, putting it kindly, dreadful.
  4. snepp
    I guess I didn't read John's comment as meaning Dozier "needed to earn a spot." I saw it more along the lines of giving him a chance to ease in and see a bit of high level success first after his 2012 disaster of a season.
  5. snepp
    Who said that?

    Success-to-attendance studies have been done, over the long term you will suffer from losing additional games. You can talk about one season, but it's not just one season, this will (most likely) be the third, with interest and attendance continuing to spiral downward. The gross-oversimplification of "making the playoffs is all that matters" just isn't accurate.

    Is it more hilarious than taking what's obviously an extreme position, while being absolutely convinced that it's right?

    Calling Marcum a marginal upgrade is marginalizing his upgradiness.
  9. snepp
    Not that I'm aware of.

    Those two things stood out to me as well. He crapped on Parmalee's offense while offering no justification. The Morneau remark I can understand (a bit), an outsider looking at the splits wouldn't necessarily see his dramatic improvement over the course of the season against lefties.
  11. snepp
    Reasonably significant.
  12. snepp
    Is it time to.....ghet rhedday?
  13. snepp
    I'm not positive about this, but I believe that players on extended ST accrue major league service time (similar to players on rehab assignments). If they were going to do that they may as well just send him to Rochester and get the extra year of control.

    Here's another Buxton article on Fangraphs. [h=2]Like Aaron Hicks, Buxton Will Require Patience[/h]

    At no point did I say IBB would effect his BA or SLG, nor at any point did I say that they don't matter. You made a direct comparison of his w/RISP slash line in comparison to his overall line. I simply tried to point out that much of what can be viewed as "hitting better" w/RISP is due to context (and subsequent calculations), not necessarily the actual act of hitting itself.
  16. snepp
    A couple of things to keep in mind. The league as a whole "hits" better w/RISP. Sacrifice flies don't hurt a player's batting average (or OBP/SLG), a typical flyball with the bases empty that would drop a hitter's average no longer does if a player happens to be on 3rd at the time and scores. Another, intentional walks almost always occur with someone already in scoring position. In Mauer's case, every IBB in his career has come w/RISP, this inflates the w/RISP OBP relative to his overall line. So he didn't really "hit" better in those situations.
  17. snepp
    That's exactly how I see it.
  18. snepp
    Because it's been shown that players will, over time, perform basically the same w/RISP as they do as a whole. Dramatically cutting the sample size, for little (or no) benefit, doesn't serve much purpose.
  19. snepp
    Well there it is, proof.
  20. snepp
    So in other words, you just didn't care or weren't trying very hard?
  21. snepp
    That's not funny, don't do that.
  22. snepp
    It should be noted that the "4th+" figure came in all of 22 plate appearances.
  23. snepp
    You're referring strictly to the defensive side I assume?
  24. snepp
    That may be taking the 'rest' portion of rest-and-rehabilitation a bit too far.
  25. snepp
    And I thought Revere didn't have any power, Campana makes even him look Ruthian.
