  1. As for Bailey and Volquez, I disagree. I think they can give 130-140 pitches every damn game and I know Dusty agrees with me.
    Well played sir
    As for the larger point, I don't quite see Cincinnati competing this year.
    Couldn't agree with you much more.
  2. ERA is so flawed for relievers, I hardly even pay any attention to it anyway. It's a little bit nicer for today's closers since they many times start an inning rather than coming into a difficult situation.But I do see your logic. I like logic.

  3. Sure Hoffman's numbers aren't that different than Armando's if you're looking at a couple of numbers (ERA?). Hoffman's numbers aren't that much worse, or better, than Rivera's if you look further. With relief pitcher with over 500 career innings, Hoffman ranks third in WHIP with a 1.049 behind Wagner and Rivera, third in SO/BB behind Wagner and Foulke, and second in allowing inherited runners score, behind only Eric Gagne (which to me makes up for his disappointing ERA, ERA+)According to the B-R player similarity scores, Hoffman's top comp is Rivera, with tenth being Armando.And Mattingly does not have a chance. Nor should he.

  4. Well, all fans hate to see him go, but almost all understand the economics of the game and understand why we can't resign him. But most wish it would happen sooner than later since we're sick of getting poor articles like this. I tend to believe that anti-Yankee sentiment is still strong as many hope we don't trade him to the Yankees. Which I don't get since if he goes to Boston, no other team in the AL will be able to compete for at least 3 years.

  5. I don't get what is with people saying Melky isn't any good. Is he the caliber player that Ellsbury is? No, but he's been above average at CF and is certainly better than Crisp can be. As a Twins fan, I don't like the Red Sox offer much. They went for quantity over quality which is exactly what I didn't want. Lester has the potential to be a 3, maybe a 2 but I doubt it. Crisp is nothing short of average. Masterson is going to be a RP. Lowrie is pretty much the only part of the trade that I like, and the scouts say that he won't be able to play SS at the major league level. I say, keep your players, I'll take the ace potential and above average CF.
