Lineup

Chris Davis is a beast.

That's pretty much our best possible lineup
Though I do agree that Josh should get more rest.
by chief on Jul 6, 2008 11:39 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
no
swap Murphy and Davis, then swap Max and Brandon. THAT would be our best lineup.

Tired of Murphy wasting oppurtunities?
He is a young player, and we are a developing team….but in this slump it seems everytime there is a player at 3rd with less than 2 outs he dosen’t get the job done.
Not saying he should be benched, but he had better pick it up after the all-star break or Boggs or JMJ will take his spot.

I am really sick of this guy.
Nice defensive replacement, probably fits as a 4th OF, not a starter.
That said, we have another #1 pick, college OF in the org, right behind him, with pretty lousy plate discipline coming up, who suddenly got religion as a 24-yo in AAA.

Not yet. If Kinsler doesn’t make the roster, then I’m all for outrage being poured all over this atrocity, but at the moment I’ll reserve judgment. Do I wish Kinsler was starting though? Yes. But until we’re consistently winning divisions, we’re not going to get the media attention the other big teams get.

Dewan's +/- system
It has Pedroia as 17 runs ahead of Kinsler defensively so far this year.
BP has Kinsler at 19-20 runs ahead of Pedroia offensively.
So, yeah, I think there’s a legitimate argument that it is pretty close.

202 POs for Kinsler vs. 156 POs for Pedroia
281 Assists vs. 242 Assists
84 DPs vs. 51 DPs
Basically, Kinsler’s Range Factor/game is a full chance more per game than Pedroia’s (5.51 vs. 4.52).

Also
I think TBIA has played a little less hitter-friendly the last couple of years than it has historically, and has this year. So I think that the park effect factors BP is using may slightly understate the offensive advantage of playing half your games at TBIA right now.
