Flash and Charlie Culberson started out as pretty much equals when they were acquired by the Braves, but they went in opposite directions as Culberson established himself as one of the best utility players in the game.  Meanwhile, the Braves really need a bat or 2 off the bench moreso than another utility infielder.

It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

24 year old Camargo just kept improving and took Flash's at bats away.

Camargo really proved himself last year and started this year with an injury.  His stats are pretty much in line with last year's.  He's a helluva player and could start at SS at some point.

What do you have against Flaherty? I can’t believe you are rooting against him...:)

I love how your trolling missing my key point. I said I would rather have him than Gentry bc Gentry can’t stay healthy.

Villar at 2b.Schoop at SS and Flaherty at third next year.Get her done.Best team ever at least on the infield. Anchored by Crush.

I'm down with this for next year.  Two of @Rene88 's nuggets and could be acquired cheaply.  If Bundy comes back healthy and AJ accepts his QO, who knows?

Are we sure he didn't start talking to Chris Davis more as the season went on?

I don't have anything against Flaherty. 

And how exactly did you come to the conclusion that I was rooting against him? I wasn't rooting against Mike Cuellar in his final season with the Orioles in 1976, but I can objectively state that he was far from the pitcher that he was in his prime between 1966 and 1974.

 

I (along with at least 4 other people who gave him a positive vote) was agreeing with the sentiment of Inside Coroner in regard to the posts made in April (and early May) about it being a mistake it was to let Flaherty go, and how he greatly regressed when he starting getting more plate appearances over the course of almost 5 months, as opposed to only the first 5 weeks of the season.

Isn’t this apples and oranges?   Gentry’s a plus defensive outfielder and speedy pinch runner.    Flaherty’s a solid defensive utility infielder who can play a non-embarrassing outfield in an emergency.    One doesn’t replace the other.    If we signed Flaherty, Jace Peterson would be the one to go.

      I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.

      End of season melancholy

      I usually post the lyrics of Paul Simon’s Night Game on the last day of the season, but it doesn’t really fit for a team going to the playoffs.   So I’ll wait, and hopefully never have occasion to post it.

      Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Please don’t compare OAA and dWAR.  OAA and dWAR are not comparable stats.  First of all, OAA is measured in outs, while dWAR is measured in wins.   That’s a very different scale.   Second, OAA is not adjusting for difficulty of position, while dWAR contains a significant adjustment for position.   Third, OAA measures range but doesn’t measure the throwing aspect of being an outfielder.   If you want to compare apples to apples (and I assume you do), Statcast has a statistic called Fielding Runs Value that converts OAA plus the throwing aspect into runs.   Cowser has a +10 FRV, which as the names implies, is measured in runs.  FRV feeds directly into the fWAR calculation, along with a factor that adjusts for difficulty of position, which for Cowser is measured at -4.1 runs.   Meanwhile, rWAR uses Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which is directly comparable to FRV.  Cowser has a +3 DRS, not as good as his +10 FRV.   Those are the comparable stats, and the 7 run difference converts to about 0.7 WAR. That’s the main difference between Cowser’s 4.1 fWAR and 3.2 rWAR. I see that after Gil’s poor performance yesterday, Cowser now leads him in both rWAR (3.2 to 3.1) and fWAR (4.1 to 2.2).   So, I like Cowser’s chances.

      I'm the opposite.  I don't want him sitting too much and getting into his own head.

      2024 Dodgers

      Our key players aren't ready to uphold their part of the deal yet, but the Peak Orioles Teams sometime this decade against these Dodgers before they get too old would be an amazing matchup.      I've only gotten to watch most of a Dodgers game the past week or so, and one of the impressions even though they are HOF and still near the very best is that Freddie and Mookie are fraying some as time continues its unbeaten streak. I think we're the likeliest club of any of the 29 others to be able to out-talent the Dodgers anytime soon.
