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.

      Orioles #30 Prospect Brandon Young - RHP

      By now · Posted

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
