Say that out loud, see if you don’t al least smirk.

If she protests, simply say Come on now darling, don’t be choosy.

I’m not.

So what

it’s hard to argue that with the loss of Lackey that they’ll get better. Our defense is certainly better, and it’s proven that in the following year it of solid run prevention; it gets better.

Well, that's one of my favorites

So I’ll cite different tastes there, but it’s also the lead track off her first album. She’s come a long ways with her writing and song selection since then, and another thing is she (or whoever it is that selects the singles for her) also has a penchant for never releasing her best stuff, something that has always confused me.

The best song off Kerosene was “Greyhound bound for nowhere”, and that never found the airwaves. Same with my favorite off her Crazy Ex Girlfriend album, “Desperation”. Probably the best single she released off the first two albums was “More like her” so try looking that one up (or I can find the link for ya if you want).

Her new album, Revolution is far and away the best work she’s ever done though. Blows the other two albums away.

I’ll admit, I have a tendency to like chicks better than guys when it comes to music. I guess part of that is if I’m going to put on my ipod headphones and have someone whispering intimately in my ears, I’ll rather it be a chick.

And besides, it’s not like Miranda’s Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood or something. I’ve come to consider her a bit more rock than country, especially on her latest album.

There's no telling

I don’t know what his price tag is going to be, given how weird last offseason was.

He’d be fine as a DH. Nick Johnson would be fine. I’d just like a productive offensive player with a solid OBP who will take a one year deal.

Matsui would be 36 next June

in the past three years his slash marks look like this.

.284/.368/.479 OPS+ 121

I’m not sure how much he could fetch, but a one year deal for 5 mil sounds sufficient enough, but I’m not good with contract predictions. Perhaps someone can give me a better insight?

If Scheppers is really going to be rushed to the majors via the bullpen and stay there

Then it’s just another reason Feliz should be in the rotation, even if for some reason it’s in AAA working on his game this season.

So yeah, I’m pretty interested to know what the verdict is on Scheppers in the long run too.

Well

I’d be fine with Feliz starting 2010 in the major league pen.

We’ve got a likely season-opening rotation of Millwood, Feldman, Hunter, McCarthy, Holland.

We roll with a Frankie/Wilson/Feliz/O’Day/NRILOOGY/Mathis/Nippert pen.

In AAA, Harrison, Hurley, Kiker, Dozer, and this year’s Kris Benson.

Moscoso, Strop, Madrigal, and Scheppers are your top arms in the wings if you need help in the bullpen.

Nippert is your spot starter if a pitcher can’t go for a game. Feliz, around June 1, you start looking at what hole you have in the rotation and work on breaking him in in that spot.

Harrison and Hurley are your AAA insurance, along with the Benson-replacement.

Although it’s annoying to see Millwood at the front of that rotation. We really have no interest in Milton Bradley?

The only thing I don't like about that is that

I don’t want the team to get too used to having him in the pen.

Yep

Besides, I think he needs to stay stretched out and hone his game some (while watching his innings) early in the season in AAA. Ideally, I don’t think you want him starting until late May/early June regardless, but I don’t want to see him Brandon Morrowed in between roles.

That's why Scheppers being here is good

He’s waiting in the wings to replace him as the flame-throwing beast in the pen, and then replaces Frankie as the closer in 2011.

I hope so.

Though I do have an infatuation with Scheppers as a starter, I think for his health, and his productions for the Rangers he’d be better suited in the pen.

This just makes me think that he can have a solid year next year.

This Jim Reeves snippet never gets old
Tom Hicks flew in here from Liverpool, England, on Monday, presumably with the $10 million he saved by not re-signing Gary Matthews Jr. this past off-season jingling around in his pocket with a few extra British pounds in his loose change.
What the Angels got for their $10 million was Matthews’ usual spectacular defense in center field and a three-game sweep of the Rangers to open the season.

I’ll let you figure out who got the best end of the deal.

Stern's bad

No doubt about that, but not sure if he’s anywhere near the level of the other two. Its says a sad thing about sports when we’re saying someone’s better than Stern.

As Buck and McCarver explained (momentarily proving themselves useful)

It’s known as the “neighborhood call”. I’ve seen it plenty of times myself, and 99.9% of the time, the out at second on a DP pivot like that is a gimme, regardless of whether or not the guy touches the bag.

I’ve literally never seen a guy called safe on that play before, ever.

Till that error just now inspired me to look at his UZR numbers.

I looked at kinslers after that to see how their career numbers compared

Kinsler is only .3 ahead of him for uzr/150 on his career.
I’m beginning to question UZR more than I sued to though.

And there seems to be some weird stuff with UZR vs UZR/150 on some pages.. how is kinsler a 9.8 UZR in 144 games, but 7.4 per 150? Positive for the year seems like the extra games predicted should increase his UZR not take a big chunk off..

the preceding post was a great success.

by DSheppard on Oct 17, 2009 11:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dunno exactly how the math works

But it’s not at all an oddity for UZR/150 to be lower than normal UZR. What it probably means is that Kinsler was playing over his head defensively this year.

Yeah but its for the one specific year..

it still bounces wildly from year to year doesn’t seem to be taking previous stats into it.. I mean putting /150 after something directly implies its the rate for 150 games, and 9.8 doesn’t rate out to 7.4 over 150 games.

The glossary doesn’t imply anything different. I think there is some error in their programming

Not that it matters, it doesn’t change the numbers too much and we shouldn’t treat them as to the decimal point accurate anyway. Its just odd/confusing to see.
