Lol Betances should've gotten 25 games.
-
One of his worst defensive seasons came at age 26 according to both Fangraphs and BBref. FG has it at his worst. He was consistently bad throughout his career.
-
So a few good plays here and there make up for him being terrible otherwise? He made up for it with his bat but he probably should've been at 3B or LF. Maybe 2B.
-
I never said he wasn't. I'm just saying that GGs don't prove he was good. http://www.highheatstats.com/2014/03/owar-and-dwar/
-
I never saw Eddie play, but saying he won the GG 3 times doesn't really mean anything. Derek Jeter won 5 and he's arguably the worst defensive SS of all time. Didn't Rafael Palmeiro win the GG in a year where he DH'd almost every game?
-
Do AAA pitchers have better arms than AA pitchers? I'd lean toward the opposite but that's just a guess. AA has prospects whereas AAA has a bunch of AAAA guys.
-
He's striking out 4 batters per 9 IP. 4. How does someone with an "easy 99" only strikeout 12 batters in 27 innings? That doesn't bode well for future results. SSS and all, but we're already annointing him an excellent bullpen piece? Really? He's being way overrated in this thread. It's weird to me that some choose to ignore strikeouts.
-
Don't draft eligible sophomores have to be 21? He'd only be 20 and 8 months. -
Hopefully DL can strike people out.
-
His name is DL. Fantastic.
-
Chen might need Tommy John.

Mark Reynolds is slashing .333/.402/.684/1.085 with 12 homers.

Merge request: Thanks.

Fangraphs has those players combining for 5.7 WAR. That's including Miggy but not Chen. Would be 8 wins if you included Chen. 5.7 out of 16.3 WAR that our pitcher's produced that year. The position players combined for 12.7 WAR, of which DD contributed 1.8 between McClouth (1.2) and Betemit (0.6). That's 7.5 WAR out of 29. Nice contributions, yes. But I give most of the credit to AM and Buck.
-
You realize that he traded for Jason Hammel, not Cole Hamels, right? Those are ace numbers. Jason Hammel certainly was not an ace in 2012. I'm not arguing that DD hasn't added some nice short-term pieces. I'm arguing with your statement that he's the one who rescued this org from purgatory. He was given a fantastic core of players when he got the job.
-
Yeah, I can't find anything either. I know I've read on here that AM was the one who originally pushed for Chen, but that's been a while and I have no idea what thread it was in. Maybe they made it up.
-
DD didn't acquire Machado, O'Day and Strop. He did acquire Chen but some on here credit AM for that. I can't find any proof of that, so if someone can, I'd appreciate it. The Hammel trade was nice, but I'd give DD a very small amount of the credit for 2012. Most goes to AM and Buck.
-
Not really. The core of this team is still AM built. DD has filled in the spaces.
-
And I'm pretty sure no one cares what Curt Schilling has to say anyway.

The post I quoted from you came before that post.
-
Who's whining? You're the only one I see. Everyone else is making legitimate points.

Lord Farquhar wins it for the O's

Bud Norris is closing for the Angels now. He just got the save against Toronto.
