    In 2016, one of the big reasons why Howard won MVP over Pujols was because he had 149 RBI and Pujols had 137. Howard hit .256/.426/.518 with RISP. Pujols hit .397/.535/..802 with RISP. So who performed better with RISP? The guy with more RBI or the guy with 12 less RBI? Could it be that the 53 more PA with RISP helped Howard get more RBI? Andruw jones almost won MVP when he led the league in RBI with a whopping 128. He batted .207/.335/.386 with RISP. Look at those numbers, but he led the league in RBI. Maybe having 230 PA with RISP helped. Boston leads the majors in OBP. They lead in OBP by a lot in the AL. Their players have way more opportunities for RBI due to having runners on a bunch. It's not that RBI is worthless, just as a standalone stat with no other info it doesn't really tell us whether or not the guy really does well with RISP or not. But Terry Ryan loves the RBI stat, so it must mean a lot.

    what is the fascination with playing Park over Mauer at 1B? Why do you purposely hurt your defense like that.
  3. jimmer
    hahaha. That doesn't describe Jeter from everything I heard/read from/about him. Ortiz is, well, an egomaniac.

    Especially for a guy who thinks the whole game is all about him and he should have special privilege.
  5. jimmer
    what? it's important to establish your fastball right away? that's new info from Bert :-)

    I've pretty much stopped drinking beer in favor of ciders.
  7. jimmer
    He'll be out of baseball by then. Very likely retired.

    Just to clarify, are you saying Trout had an OPS of .672 in 1300 minor league PAs? Or are you talking about his 40 game intro to the majors before becoming ROY the following season and finishing 2nd for MVP?

    They really love the kid's makeup.

    Scouting director Deron Johnson, 'He's adequet, er, he's good both first base and outfield.'
  11. jimmer
    He may end up at 1B.
  12. jimmer
    and there you go.

    Gromme would have been great to get.

    I'm guessing we grab the HS OF from Pennsylvania. Alex Kiriiloff.

    Zack Collins off the board. Man, I hate the White Sox.
  16. jimmer
    trouble?
  17. jimmer
    Jack Morris should interview him.
  18. jimmer
    Dozier!!!!!
  19. jimmer
    a guy would be in scoring position with no outs. This is especially bad. When a guy can't throw strikes, you don't steal.
  20. jimmer
    what in the heck was that? let me guess, guy went on his own.
  21. jimmer
    I was think Bates motel, but that works too.
  22. jimmer
    Like MVP, CY Young, Batting champ, Silver slugger?
  23. jimmer
    that's funny! And once I wrote it, I knew it could be turned that way. I was actually talking about how Dick set up Bert to slam Dozier and Bert let it go by without a peep.
  24. jimmer
    If Nunez gets a bobblehead night, will it come with a detachable helmet? :-)
  25. jimmer
    Did Dick forget he didn't have Jack with him tonight?
