Rob E Dangerously

Evo, have you noticed the home/road splits for Big Red too? On the road, I have: 38 more AB 35 more hits 7 more doubles 10 more home runs 34 more RBI 36 more runs Can you give out the park dimensions for my home park?

Actually, I tend to have a shirt on. I will also admit that link with the cybering was... a bit odd

I'm too sexy for my shirt, but nobody else has noticed that. Bastards.

The GOP nominee will be a newcomer from Parts Unknown, the Masked Republican, who some suspect is merely President Bush under a mask. The Democrats will nominate somebody who doesn't quite satisfy anybody. It'll be a slobberknocker.

My player is the ultimate hoss! I did some projections in a Brock5 spreadsheet ( http://baseball1.com/c-sabr.html ) and here are the projected career stats for Big Red after his age 44 season (2034) (I used projected stats for 2021, and I just extended the spreadsheet to include his age 42, 43 and 44 seasons) the totals: 5228 hits 3046 runs 854 doubles 84 triples 903 home runs 3014 RBI 1560 walks .341 career BA 8960 total bases 3587 runs created 8.66 runs created per 9 innings I'm pretty sure I'm not going to hit 1000 home runs, but I have a shot at 5000 hits. The spreadsheet puts me at 4846 hits after 2031. My projected stats at age 41 158 for 556 (.283), 29 doubles, 19 home runs, 78 runs, 81 RBI, 58 walks And it projects me getting 4000 hits by age 36 and 4257 by age 38.

And Tom Prince will be managing the Williamsport Crosscutters in 2005

well.. I think the highest paid player on the Pirates is Benito Santiago or Kip Wells. I think KC's also paying Benito's hefty 2.2M salary too, so Pittsburgh won't bankrupt themselves

Don't knock the system dude

And the new 2005 Royals Terrence Long - Ken Landreaux Eli Marrero - Kurt Abbott Denny Hocking - Nelson Liriano Jose Lima - James Baldwin

The 2004 Kansas City Royals! C: Benito Santiago = Lance Parrish (857) 1B: Ken Harvey = Reggie Jefferson [Harvey's #2 comparison is Andres Galarraga] 2B: Tony Graffanino = Bill Rigney 3B: Joe Randa = Jeff Cirillo SS: Angel Berroa = Julio Lugo LF: Dee Brown = Kevin Young CF: Carlos Beltran = Andre Dawson RF: Matt Stairs = Glenallen Hill DH: Mike Sweeney = Fred Lynn P: Darrell May = Jake Wade Brian Anderson = Sterling Hitchcock Jimmy Gobble = Brian Meadows Zack Greinke = Denny McLain Mike Wood = Blake Stein Hmm.. Greinke compares well

*rubs menstrual blood on your face* kin-keee

Yeah. He was a real bastard, that Hitler. Hitler was a big fraud who pooped his pants (maybe Bored will get this.. )

Since a sponge can't have sex, isn't it's sexual preference irrelevant?

I think Hitler annulled that treaty when he invaded the Soviet Union

Wait.. so Dean Palmer's going to put off his selection to the HOF? http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hof%5Fwe...5Felections.htm

Kennedy also had 1.51 groundballs for every flyball. His numbers at Coors Field were better than his road numbers as well. Which is definately odd.

I'm more inclined to think 2004 is a better indicator of Kennedy's talent than 2003. Kennedy had a bad season for the Devil Rays, but otherwise he's been solid. dERA - Joe Kennedy 2001: 4.68 (over his ERA) 2002: 4.85 (over his ERA) 2003: 5.20 (under his ERA) 2004: 4.07 (over his ERA) I'd say he's a 4.50 ERA pitcher, which is fine, but he really was helped by fielding in 2004

hmm.. I don't have class from 11 to 12:30, so I think I can technically participate in this by leaving the campus and getting Popeye's for lunch

Joe Kennedy got lucky in 2004. And Denny Hocking gets an NRI to Spring Training from the Royals

"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve, The Bible never says anything about home runs. You can't say there's been home runs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a home run."

Prince Phillip is to blame for this.

Neifi Perez isn't going to hit 40 home runs this year You know one reason why I can say that? Because statistics show us that he hasn't done that Here's my thoughts on the draft: #1 - High School Pitchers are too risky for the early rounds. Many of them have went though high workloads. Paying high school pitchers lots of money didn't work when they did it in the 1950s, and it doesn't work now. You can draft them later and see if they'd go for less money. You're not losing money that way. #2 - High School Hitters are safer to draft. The minimum amount of time you can hold one before free agency allows you enough time to see their peak years (25 though 29). #3 - College Pitchers are good bets to draft. They don't take long to go though the system. #4 - College Hitters aren't loved enough. College hitters are likely to stay in your organization though their peak years before they get to free agency. Therefore you can dump them without guilt if you have to. #5 - Clubs waste too many draft picks on players who won't sign. They should use some of their later picks on dark horse college seniors. They could be old for their leagues, but it's probably cheaper to draft and sign them than to sign some minor league free agents to fill spots in the upper teams. #6 - The Five Tool label is overused. The five tools are base-stealing ability, a strong throwing arm, an ability to hit with power, good fielding ability, and high batting average. These five tools are not equal. If these are the five abilities one can have, I'd split them as follows. base-stealing ability - 8% a strong throwing arm - 10% ability to hit for power - 35% good fielding ability - 18% high batting average - 29% Stealing bases is fairly meaningless in the realm of a game. Numerous studies have shown that stealing bases really doesn't change much in the probability of scoring. A strong throwing arm is good for shortstop, second base, third base, catcher and right field. Although it's not equal to the value of a powerhitter. Power to me includes doubles and home runs. There's some good measures out to show you how good a player is at power. good fielding ability is hard to define. Why do you think Jeter got a gold glove? But since most balls are put in play, it's helpful to have some good or competant defensive players in the middle and left side of the infield. Batting average by itself is overrated. The sixth tool is the ability to patient and getting on-base. That includes players who can draw walks, people who get hit by pitches and all that. OBP is vital. I'd think there is data out to show how many innings go 1-2-3 and all that. but your opinion may vary. #7 - Your eyes decieve you. Basing such decisions as drafting purely on opinion is foolish. The statistical performance of a player should be considered. Giving the sample size of a few games is foolish as well.

Yeah.. bring back the Powder Blue!

I'd certainly hope that McAuliffe decides to not go for another term.
