  1. /notendofdiscussion You do realize of course that small bit of minimally useful data includes all balls in play, a huge percentage of which never make it to the outfield in the first place. Or that ground balls are much more likely to be pulled than a fly ball is, and that balls hit to the opposite field are more likely to be a fly ball. Total chances by corner outfielders (putouts + assists + errors). Year / LF / RF 2012 04723 04954 2011 09794 10156 2010 09463 10253 2009 09866 10284 2008 09668 10464 2007 10065 10468 2006 09823 10516 2005 09831 10337 2004 09532 10566 2003 09956 10305 That's roughly 5.5% more "total chances" for right fielders over the last 10 years than left fielders. Obvious problems with TC, it doesn't tell us anything about how many balls were actually hit to them, just balls they were able to make a play on. It also doesn't account for quality of fielders, though I suspect that over a large enough sample the difference is minimal.
  2. This data should be posted.
  3. You can't move Span, he's "the centerfielder." Hurt feelings would ensue. And as far as potential trades go, Span looks a little more enticing if he's playing center every day.
  4. I don't think going 12.5 for Liriano, even if it is only for one year, could be considered a win.
  5. Can't put that one I Revere I don't think. Once Jackson decided he was going for third I don't think it mattered. Maybe Jackson decides to stay at second if a stronger arm was out there, but I doubt it.
  6. I thought Smiley originally, but he came in a trade.
  7. Trivia time, who is the best free agent pitcher they've signed since 1991? It isn't Bob Tewksbury is it?
  8. You should at least check out the comedic highlights.
  9. Gardy just said in the postgame that Perkins was not available today, fwiw.
  10. I admit to not realizing how good those figures were until I looked them up.
  11. The team isn't going anywhere this year, give those innings to someone with a (possible) future here.
  12. 13 k/9 5 k/bb Nope, not dominant at all.
  13. You can't pitch your "closer" before the 9th inning, blasphemer. And why would you want your best relievers facing the top/middle of order when they could face the bottom in the next inning?
  14. Incredible is one word for it, I've been using a few others.
  15. The pitch was pretty much un-buntable.
  16. I'll call a strikeout. I win, and at the same time lose.
  17. I wonder how Smalley would do on the radio. Couldn't be any worse than Gladden. He wouldn't get to show off that hair though.
  18. And you chastise others for exaggeration?
  19. Damn, that's cold blooded.... I laughed, that was pretty good.
