    we'll see. I hope so.
  2. ThePuck
    Heck, like 2 days before opening day there were tickets available right behind home plate, like 13 rows back...on the regular Twins MLB site even. I don't think that would have been possible the first two years...maybe last year, but not sure.
  3. ThePuck
    Sounds a lot like....Juan Pierre :-)
  4. ThePuck
    I any event, I enjoyed the exchange of ideas with you. Here's hoping Revere has a better career than I think he will.
  5. ThePuck
    snepp, What did Fangraphs replace UZR with when calculating the defensive part of WAR? Calculating WAR for Position Players | FanGraphs Sabermetrics Library
  6. ThePuck
    Exactly...like it did last year. Big % drop in attendance...and we'll see move of that this year
  7. ThePuck
    We can take out the average and look at UZR actual. 8.3 in 776 innings in CF in 2011. 15.4 in 708 innings in RF. Or look at DRS defensive runs saved. -1 in 2011 in CF, 11 in RF. Any way you slice it...he has more value in RF defensively....and I don't see how having a smaller ballpark will help his offensive game.
  8. ThePuck
    but, hypothetically, wouldn't having less room to roam on the surface make his range smaller? And wouldn't the pitching staff they have give him less Opps to build his DRS?
  9. ThePuck
    okay then, let's go with defensive runs saved. -1 in 2011 in CF, 11 in RF
  10. ThePuck
    And the same thing can pretty much be said about WAR.
  11. ThePuck
    Which WAR are you using? Fangraphs?
  12. ThePuck
    But quoting WAR for the same amount of time? On top of that, you think a smaller park helps Revere's game? Why would it? He's not gonna be hitting HRs
  13. ThePuck
    and the defensive difference?
  14. ThePuck
    That's why I wrote what I wrote about 300 innings...but he played over 700 innings in CF in 2011 and about 70 more innings in RF last year But if we're talking shaky Metrics for single seasons, it applies to WAR as well..
  15. ThePuck
    I already pointed out the differences on defense with the UZR/150. I'll do it again: His UZR/150 while playing CF in 2011 was 14.7. His UZR/150 in CF last year (in limited time ...like 300 innings...so not much to really judge off of) was in the negatives. His UZR/150 in RF last year was 26.2. That's a significant jump
  16. ThePuck
    His WAR, while playing mostly CF in 2011, was 1.7. It was 3.1 last year while mostly playing RF.
  17. ThePuck
    His WAR, while playing mostly CF in 2011, was 1.7. It was 3.1 last year while mostly playing RF.
  18. ThePuck
    His UZR/150 while playing CF in 2011 was 14.7. His UZR/150 in CF last year (in limited time ...like 300 innings...so not much to really judge off of) was in the negatives. His UZR/150 in RF last year was 26.2. That's a significant jump
  19. ThePuck
    Would have been nice to see the perfect game...and a record for Ks in a perfect game..
  20. ThePuck
    except that his range compared to most RFs is what made his defense part of WAR so high. Yes, he still has great range, but now he's being compared to other CFs.
  21. ThePuck
    hope so. Did you see Pierre's WARs up to when he turned 32, 33? heck he had a 2.5 at 32, a 2.0 at 3.1. Had some 4s earlier in his career. If anything, as a CF, I see his WAR going down. His crazy range helped his WAR compared to other RF. He still has crazy range, but not over the top of most CFs like he did in RF
  22. ThePuck
    Like I said...he'll be lucky to have a career like Pierre. Not too high on Revere, personally.
  23. ThePuck
    He'll be lucky to have a Juan Pierre type career.
  24. ThePuck
    Gibson sure, but cups of coffee in September for Meyer and Arcia don't really work towards what I'm talking about. I'm glad you're optimistic though...very cool. I'd LOVE, absolutely LOVE to be wrong about 2014.
  25. ThePuck
    I don't even think about that possibility. We're a scrap heap club when it comes to FA and I don't think that ever changes.
