I’d like to double this from 2 games to 4 games. Having players with multiple position eligibility in SOT can be nice advantage. I’m not looking to take this away, but just because a player lands at a position for two games, doesn’t seem like enough for me to say that player should be given [...]
Fuentes 42, Mo 39, Nathan 37, Wood 25… What do they have in common? They led the league in saves and weren’t owned in SOT. I think we all understand that the SV isn’t a perfect stat (what is?). I think we all understand that closers are overrated. I think we all understand that closers [...]
Should we re-evaluate decisions made by the league/commish that involved the rewarding of a player due to a multi-player deal. For example, the league voted to award to 101 the player in the Jair Jurrgens/Gorkys Hernandez trade. In hindsight, it’s VERY obvious that we made the wrong decision. I believe in cases of black and [...]
- Should commish notify all teams when a player is available because he wasn’t activated within the two weeks required.
Bill Simmons does it, Fangraphs does it, and now WTNY does it. My version of the Top 50 players in SOT land. I view this list as a trade meter, so player #1 should not be traded straight up for anyone else in the league. My criteria is as follows: – current contract – position [...]
Just some quick notes from this weekend’s action around the minors: TOR HiA Jackson, Justin SS 5 0 0 0 .205 20 Ks in 44 at-bats (Evil Empire) – Thought he was one of the biggest overdrafts because I haven’t read one positive report on the bat. CLE AA Rivero, Carlos SS 5 1 2 [...]
From the eyes of WTNY: First of all, it was good seeing everyone again, on the day I refer to as “Christmas in April.” Overall, the day was a complete success. The commish and his wife (just a hunch) did a great job with the set-up and acting as the host (the cookies didn’t stand [...]
With C.C. off the board, who does JMaf go after? Pat Burrell? Justin Smoak? Gordon Beckham? Eric Hosmer? Tim Beckham? I lean towards Burrell, with Smoak and Beckham also in consideration.
As you can imagine, my personal list looks a lot different than this one: http://sonsoftheo.wordpress.com/bp-top-100-2009/ Guys who wouldn’t sniff WTNY’s Top 100: Brandon Erbe – Future reliever with inconsistent stuff and inconsistent performance to date. David Cooper – Limited upside bat at a position with some plus plus bats on the way (Lars, Morrison, LaPorta, [...]
C.C. Sabathia. Anyone disagree? Let’s see how deep how far we can project out.
