Need another power bat for the second half. Of all the guys coming up, and all the guys who have struggle and are unowned etc, do you think he has the most potential? Only three waiver wire pickups left for me, so it has to count. Looks like call up imminent? Weekend or next week? I’d love to be able to wait and see how he does, but leaguemates will jump fast.

How about this keeper trade?

Kershaw (19 bucks for next year, then back to auction) + Victorino + Ronald Guzman (17 year-old with huge upside) for Dickey (keepable at 6 bucks next year) + Holliday + Taijuan Walker (as high as #6 on prospect lists).

Victorino and Holliday are not really keepable.

For “borderline A’s starters at O.co”… how about “Lo.cos”? As in, crazy good at O.co relative to their performance in other parks.

@Grey

1) 5 starters going today in one league. Start them all?

Anibal v. TOR
Fister @ PIT
Richards v. SEA
Sale v. MIL
Zimmerman @ BAL

2) If I start them all I can only start 3 relievers. Leaning towards starting Frieri, Clippard, and Benoit with Wilhemsen sitting. Based on match ups, that’s the game I feel has the least chance of geting a save opp (Millwood v. Richards).

@mike, Meh, I wouldn’t go and immediately discredit sabermetrics and advanced statistics. That makes you sound close-minded and silly. They don’t tell the whole story for sure. But, they do tell part of the story and you shouldn’t ignore them. I agree, passing the “eyeball test” should always be part of the analysis of a player. But I think you’d be missing out if you just ignored advanced stats. Plenty of smart baseball minds have concocted winning formulas by looking at peripherals while also watching plenty of baseball. It takes both IMO.

@Grey, Fair enough; MediOakers is nice because it conveys the same information as Marginers.

hey grey not to sound like a hater but im not seeing how sabermetrics help or are even relevant..some pitchers can jsut pitch without all the peripherals telling them they cant and when they get blown up usually someone says yup their it goes told ya he was going to rocked..but that happens to every pitcher..i.e. matt cain this week after hsi perfect game..i enjoy reading you because you look at other stuff besides that bill james crap..but seems to sabermetrics are just an easier way to try and predict something without taking the time to watch for yourself and see if you can be right about a players future peformance based soley on his current performance..this is why i enjoy watching baseball all the time..partially because i have no life but also its fun to watch true talent you know..i dont think there is anything that says “expert” about reading off stats and saying that guy will do that..its all bull shit..thats why everytime i start to hear the word periipheral or a saber term i almost immediately discredit what im reading because your not telling a story at all..your just copying and pasting a lie..not saying you do this because you seem to be right when make a prediction but thats all these other sites do and its annoying to be honest. call me too serious because i am but sabermetrics are serious too, seriously wrong..
