    Not every player above or below the average is lucky or unlucky. Every player, given enough time, will establish their own BABIP baseline. Pitchers tend to settle closer to the league average because they face all different types of hitters. Batters will have a wider range based upon their individual skill sets (groundball/flyball, fast/slow, hard/weak contact, etc). A guy like Ichiro posts BABIP's in the .350 neighborhood, while a guy like Joe Crede was typically .250-ish. Relievers typically post lower BABIP's than starters.

    You got me there, he really does have a great smile.

    "Great" minor league hitters don't OPS .700.

    Here's an article that I really liked on the topic. [h=1]The Compassionate Umpire[/h]

    Wait a minute, they're going to DL someone immediately after an injury? I call shenanigans!
  6. snepp
    I thought only a Jays fan could come to that conclusion.
  7. snepp
    Puckett's second big contract was pretty close to making him the highest paid as well.
  8. snepp
    Smith was reassigned, Krivski was re-added. Pouring stagnant water into an already stagnant pool.

    tw91, did you get lost on the way to Rubechat?

    If Diamond throws a shutout every single start he'll be the greatest pitcher in the history of the game.

    No one is going to trade anything for Inge. Every team in the league had a shot to claim him for free on waivers and they all passed.
  12. snepp
    Players that OPS .500 don't belong in the major leagues, regardless of the quality of team.
  13. snepp
    It's not relevant. I just thought with the recent Butera topic that it would be amusing (in a depressing sort of way).
  14. snepp
    Still better than Butera's career line.
  15. snepp
    That's always been one of my absolute favorites. If anything a black hole like Butera should be among the first places to look for upgrades (not the last) as they've set the bar so incredibly low there's a ton of room for potential improvement.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Hardy. At least the sentiment behind the Garza/Bartlett deal was good, despite the horrendous result. Hardy just straight up got dumped for nothing, it was moronic right from the get go. I'll never understand why this team always seems to be in a hurry to dump players at one of the most difficult spots to replace.
  17. snepp
    It appears that's not the case.
  18. snepp
    Dick, they did find a shortstop they could stick out there for multiple years......and they traded him away for nothing.

    3B?

    snepp replied to spideyo's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    How about because he just turned 19 and hasn't played a single inning above A-ball yet? And who suggested waiting until 2016?
  20. snepp
    Freudian slip?
  21. snepp
    He isn't going to get back to his 2010 numbers, they were fueled largely by luck (low BABIP and high LOB). His complete ineffectiveness against right-handed hitters would continually get exposed.
  22. snepp
    Inadequate value would be an improvement over what they have been getting.
  23. snepp
    Then they hit the majors, and mysteriously become incapable of doing so.
  24. snepp
    I've been running in stealth mode (aka, trying to avoid arguments).
  25. snepp
    Having a poor offense hit in a park won't necessarily drive a park factor down because they'll tend to hit poorly everywhere. The relationship between home and away production is the driving force, not the quality of the pitching/hitting. Sample size is definitely a problem, even a full season isn't very good. 30 games? Pretty much useless.
