Like last year, here is your chance to grade out and discuss each player on the roster for 2012. The grades should be given in consideration to the player's role, and not necessarily the players worth. In other words, Troy Patton could grade out higher than Wei-Yin Chen even though Chen was a more valuable pitcher but Patton may have more effective in his role.

This is a great place to posts stats, highlights and anything and will give us a good record to look back on in the future. Due to the late start, I will post three players a day and give each player two weeks to be voted on.

I'm fine with a late start. Hopefully we start this sometime in November next year! :)

As I said in multiple polling threads, I'm very shocked that only 2 of the core 5 relievers (JJ, O'Day, Strop, Ayala, Patton) got A's. In my mind, the bullpen's consistency was the number one contributing factor to the team's success in 2012 and I gave all 5 relievers with 50+ inning a grade of A in the polls. The bullpen wasn't great because of 2 men... it was great because of the consistency of all 5 plus a few others who chipped in when necessary.

      Considering how well they played in May, it gives some room for a bad stretch. And by bad stretch I mean that if they play .500 for the month of June I would be satisfied. I only say that because the last home series left the impression that regression is in order. Not to sound like a downer, but the division is still too much to expect. So as long as they can keep pace in the wild card standings then it’s a respectable season.

      Is Adley’s defense noticeably worse this year?

      Thanks I think I see what you are referencing (attached below) but I just have a problem with the metric.   Here is another question for the group:  why is there a such a strong correlation between good pitching staffs (chiefly starters) and  "good" catchers especially in the attached framing reference.  Is it the pitcher of catcher?  To me it's difficult to "siloize" pitching and catching stats.  Chicken or the egg?  I'll submit that better pitchers make better catchers and especially aid in framing-also baserunning, WP/PB-really every measure of catching. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/catcher_framing?year=2023&team=&min=q&type=catcher&sort=4,1  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/catcher-blocking?players=592663-2023-143&selected_idx=0

      Does Kole Calhoun fit the bill over Vavra?  He just opted out… https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/06/kole-calhoun-yankees-opt-out-free-agent.html

      Slugging % and line drive % are still way down.    He’s still a great player and will continue to be a great hitter. Doesn’t offer much in the field. Does he get $400M+ in FA?  I’m not so sure.

      Maybe the Os can pivot away from the recent stretch of poor baseball.  SF is not a great team, although they have been playing better lately.  The Brewers have been struggling a bit recently, but overall are a decent team.  Hoping they can at least go .500 over this road trip.

      Probably but not because you are wrong..more like because of how the team operates. I would also think they want to give him a few more at bats. So, best case scenario, if he is back on the lineup next week, is June 20 but that’s also a 2 game trip in TB followed by an off days.  So, maybe they debut him at home on 6/23. Assuming he has no setbacks, there is no legit reason for him not be here around then unless he comes back and looks awful and very rusty because of the time off.
