    I figured it would if there was a British version of this site, but not necessarily the American site :-)

    Game is turning more and more into true three outcomes every year :-)

    Does Mean Joe Greene count?

    Coors FIELD, my friend. ;-)
  7. jimmer
    Yeah, I like Coors FIELD a lot. One of the best bang for you buck, seating wise, is 200 level seating, 1st row just off home plate. Great, great view of the field. Every bit as good as lower level, if not actually better. I made the mistake of buying the same number seat at target once and it felt like I was watching the game from from the moon because turns out 200 level isn't 2nd level, but much higher up.

    I'll take Flubber. He's awesome!

    When people wail about how much a player is getting paid relative to how much they think he should be getting paid, it always seems to be when he's getting paid a ton. It's never when he's getting paid relatively little (in baseball terms). If the outrage is about performance and pay not being equal, why not also complain when a guy is worth 40M+ a year and is getting paid 6M? No one was howling about under-paid Mauer was when he was worth almost 50M in 2009 but got paid 10M, or when he was worth 35M in 2008 and got 6M. Or when he was worth about 28M and got paid less than a million. Where was the pay to performance outrage then? Anywho, when he leaves, they can use that money to get two to three middle of the road starters. Or, better yet, so we can overpay someone else. So we have that to look forward to.

    Your game Intros are awesome!!!! If you haven't been there yet, check out Camden Yards. Probably my favorite.

    Well, that's not true. Dozier was drafted at 22 and the two top 100 lists Polanco made were both pre-2016 (BA and MLB) when he was 22. Unless there are others you're talking about other than BP, BA and MLB dot com. In any event, if you follow the conversation, this has been discussed at length and like I said earlier, the amount of posts I've written on this is was out of proportion to the amount I care about it. If people want to keep hashing it out, they can do it without me participating.

    Fangraphs has him at 34.6 WAR in the AL from 2000 till present. That's with AT LEAST 98 starts less than the five RH AL SPs ahead of him during that time frame. His FIP, xFIP, ERA , ERA+, ERA-, WHIP, and K/9 is easily better than any of them with only Halladay having a lower BB/9
  13. jimmer
    I think who the top 3 is pretty subjective. Like certain stats the HOF voters look at,, maybe some pitchers rated higher up than better pitchers because of the amount of years pitched during a time span. For me, the best AL RH SPs who spent a good chunk of time in the 17 season span we are talking about is Pedro, Halladay and King Felix. I'm not sure there's an actual right answer in this particular case, but I'm comfortable saying those three.

    I watch World Cup, Premiere League Football (soccer) and zero MLS. And I have an MLS team right down the road. In fact, as luck (or u-nluck) would have it, we have an NBA and a MLS team. No NFL, No MLB, No NHL. Ugh.
  15. jimmer
    That's interesting because people have always said he's an exceptionally smart base runner. Fangraphs has him as above average base runner as well even without the speed. In fact, they have him as the 5th best baserunner among 1Bs. Not bad for an older player who used to play catcher. There are 3 current Twins who are rated better. Dozier, Buxton and Rosario. Do we want Buxton and Rosario batting in the top 2 spots? He's baseball smart and has good instincts. But yeah, not fast. I'll take the guy with 80 or more OBP points getting more PAs than a fast guy with an OBP 80 points lower.

    Did Kepler crank one out? :-)

    One of the most over-rated pitchers in my lifetime. While Mussina is vastly under-rated.
  19. jimmer
    Glavine had another 35 wins, getting to that magical 300 mark that Mussina didn't get to, but it's not not like Glavine didn't play for winning teams in his prime. Atlanta's 10 year run? That and 4 more years helped with the win total. Guess who had the better winning %? And more WAR? In fact, Mussina is about 10 WAR higher than the AVERAGE HOF starting pitchers. Glavine was more popular for sure and the media loved him as part of the big three, but he wasn't better by any pitching number that actually looks at pitcher performance.
  20. jimmer
    For his career, Joe has owned Verlander. of course, not sure how that has been recently.
  21. jimmer
    They pitched in two different leagues. They weren't competing against each other for an award that until recently was dependent so much on win totals (Bartolo over Santana in 2005) Mussina had a career ERA+ (5 points higher), better K/9 by almost 2Ks (even though he faced DHs), better BB/9, much better WHIP, much better FIP. I can't think of one thing I'd say Glavine was better at other than his narrative of being one of the big 3. Only thing Glavine did better was last 4 more years.
  22. jimmer
    Big Unit was a lefty, so probably not on any top AL RH SP list.

    Day game during work day.

    Tom Glavine: First ballot HOFer. Mussina, better than Glavine.
  25. jimmer
    Should be in the HOF.
