@Grey: no need to answer the above

@Grey: Or: Park Rating HR?

@Grey: 'ballpark': GO/AO ratio (flyball pitcher in a small park, large park)???

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:12:23 +0000

@Simply Fred: Lots of factors. Last few starts, matchup history, ballpark... Opposing pitcher doesn't matter usually.

By: Simply Fred

Simply Fred — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:06:58 +0000

@Simply Fred: Edit: Saw the starting pitchers k/9 so understand that to be a strong factor.

By: Simply Fred

@Grey: Grey, when evaluating whether to start a pitcher, do you weigh the strength of the opposing pitcher, or just the strengths/weaknesses of the starter in question? For that matter, what are the factors that you do weigh?

Can someone kindly explain why the eff Sherrill is in the game?

@Grey: Not too sure. The lightened load wasn't appreciated by his knee though.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:03:35 +0000

@timSTi: Yeah, I'm watching it. What happened to his dreads? @d2bnz: I'd want the Pence side by a decent margin, but it is a bit chair shuffling.

A trade just went down in the keeper league I play , initially to me it looked a little like shuffling the deck chairs …..what do you think
Kerry Wood
Hunter Pence
Jay Bruce
4
Francisco Cordero
James Loney
Cody Ross
MY take is that promise and potential has been traded for guys who are actually performing , whats yours……bear in mind its a keeper league

Vladdy G is slowly walking off the field after fielding a ball in right field. Left leg looked like it buckled on him.

@Tom: Cool @Corey: I think you can find a better keeper unless this is a deep AL-Only league. Not that I don't think he could be good, but there's too many variables that could go wrong for a young pitcher.

By: Corey

Corey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:55:07 +0000

@ Grey: Sorry, my man, I should have specified for career/future keeper.

By: Tom

Long long ago, I asked if I should pick up Rasmus. It was long before he was playing well, before he had regular playing time (it was almost regular). Grey, you said yes, and I have benefited.

Thanks.

@Corey: For what? This year or future in a keeper? I've been saying to sell him for this year for the last month.

This may seem dumb, but how legit of a pitcher is Porcello? How high is his ceiling?

@big o: Thanks, Big O.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:48:14 +0000

@Paulie Allnuts: Yeah, saw that. @Steve: Eh, one year he won the MVP with a great 2nd half. So depends on what you're getting.

@Grey:
i guess it all boils down to the old === > ” i don’t care what they say about you ” .

congrats and good luck to the football razzers .

p.s. am sometimes MORE than mildly amused by the malcontents .
forgot who wrote the classic defense … (paraphrasing) … “what ? he didn’t see the ‘no azzholes’ sign on the front door ?” .

anyhow ….what these guys do , here , is exactly the same as what cueto did to a few of our teams , yesterday .

how come there’s no glossary term for these guys ??????
(and you consider yourselves “loyal” readers ) ….
somebody MAN UP , dudes .

@Grey: Yeah kind of what I figured. Elsewhere, he's been great so far, but is Morneau someone you'd be looking to sell ahead of the second half? His career splits suggest some sort of decline is in store.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet: “Dempster will likely miss up to a month of action after breaking his right big toe while jumping over the dugout fence after Sunday’s win over the Brewers, the Chicago Tribune reports.”

@Corey: I'd expect nothing and be happy with a another half dozen. @Steve: Contretras is the best matchup but I wouldn't start any of them.

@Grey: Contreras, De La Rosa or Bailey tomorrow?

By: Corey

Corey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:08:07 +0000

I mean, no one expected him to be, I just wondered, because it looked like he was a power hitter earlier this season.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:04:41 +0000

@Corey: He's not a power hitter.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:04:23 +0000

@Mr Baseball: Nice @Gareth: I'd take the Burnett side. @BigFatHippo: Ha! @Corey: 6 IP, and 3 ER is that bad? @Stephen: Hehe @Elbert: Yeah, that hurts. @Steve: Eh, he looked okay.

By: Corey

Corey — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:03:07 +0000

Any insight on why Bartlett’s power from earlier this year has been zapped?

By: Steve

@Doc: @AL KOHOLIC: @Grey: Anyone see how Corrieia looked? Does he deserve another start?

By: Doc

Doc — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:57:22 +0000

@AL KOHOLIC: Everything I've seen says he won't miss any time.
