FYI ...The guy is a DC writer

This is a fake tweet. Notice the '1' replacing the 'i' and the '0' replacing the o. The real twitter account is @incarceratedbob...

You included the year where he played 113 games in the OF to a hugely negative effect?And, while he played 113 games last year, in 2009 he played 156. In 2010 he played 161. This year, he is on pace for 161. Also, your average appears to penalize him for the 60 games remaining this season - for which he is on pace to play....roughly 60.
Maybe I did, so his real average is roughly 145. So, he's a 3.6-win player per 145 games. We're quibbling over fractions of wins. It's not like any amount of minor playing time rejiggering is going to turn Chase Headley into either Willis Otaniz or a peak value Chipper Jones.

Fact. Anxiously awaiting the spin now. :)

No spin. He's a 3.3 WAR per 133 games played. There are no injury issues, overall, that I'm aware of, save for last year, and other-wise he's played roughly 98+% of his team's games. Not sure why we'd penalize him for one span on the DL and draw a yearly WAR estimate on that.

Bah, duh.

Typical the one trade rumor that was actually interesting to me was a completely fabricated one.

Not only is Incarcerated Bob one of those Scott Swaim "insiders", but that's a fake account imitating him. A fake of a fake if you will.

I am a huge Broncos fan and Incarareted Bob had very accurate info about Manning signing with the Broncos as an FYI, probably the most reliable of the info out there.

Because he really, truly missed 50 games last year. And most baseball players miss games. If you take any group of players who averaged 160 games last year I'd bet their average this year will be 5 or 10 games less.

Chris Davis stays. Unless it's straight up for Headley. Or Davis and lets say Bridwell. I like Davis a lot, and him plus jake is to much IMO.

Davis is ok but if it plugs that giant vacuum @ 3b I will pile both him and Arrieta in my car and personally drive them to SD. It will be far far easier to replace Davis than it will be to find anyone decent to play 3B next without rushing Machado. You take that deal in a second but why would SD?

Scott Swaim gave out very accurate info on Pujols to Angels. Being a good BSer doesn't make him a good source of real info.

      Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
