2010 MLB Season Discussion

[Ensam]

Statistically, going by WAR, which then will value playing time (Problem ofcourse is defensive stats have a longggg way to go, so include the three main ones [tz, uzr, and plus/minus]):

UZR/+/-/TZ

Posey: 3.0/3.1/2.5
Heyward: 2.6/3.4/2.9
Sanchez: 2.3/2.3/1.8
Stanton: 1.9/2.1/2.1
Castro: 1.9/2.4/0.6
Colvin: 1.5/1.5/0.9

Plain and simple, playing time means a lot. Who cares about HR and RBI? This isn't the 1900's, we're in the 2000's. On top of playing time, Heyward is a great defender, and Posey's positional value at being C is huge.

If Stanton can continue his ~.950 OPS since July, and heyward stays static and posey's BABIP drops, he could catch up to them. But he's only one out of the group behind those two who could catch up really.

If season ended today I'd probably give it to posey but I think his offensive numbers are gonna regress and I expect it to be Heywards. If there's a tie in production, it likely goes to him because of hype, and then the "playoff team/ect" crap that shouldn't be part of an award like this.

Delicious post loss in the forum borkage. Don't even remember what I said. Oh well.

[Bregor]

Posey's got it you dumb fucks

ftfy

Colvin won't (and shouldn't) win it, and Heyward might just because of the hype, but it really should be Posey. I'd go Posey/Garcia/Sanchez on my ballot. That said, I think Heyward and Stanton have the best shots at being true superstars, but that's not what the award is about.

[Soa]

Well I guess the umps decided to do their make up call against us for the Marlins game tonight. Oh well.

[Cephius]

Fuck everything about the Blue Jays. I hope Bautista dies from his fucking steroids overdoses.

[Ohemgee]

The tag at first base? I saw a glimpse of it, any clips on ESPN or

Between Bautista's clown antics and the umpires in this game I'm about to fucking kill someone!

i KNEW you'd be the first one to post, lol, god damn bastard

[Alderaan]

Terrible call at 2nd costs Atl a chance to win it.

Jose Bautista reminds me of the Codebreaker cunts that rocked no recoil and enemy tags during my Socom days.

.169 career ISOP/.331 in 2010

He's like the hispanic Brady Anderson.

[Bregor]

He's like the straight Brady Anderson.

I love that the media is lambasting the Marlins for turning a profit the past two years, while completely ignoring the fact that the team is still 61 million in debt because of 2002-2005 and needed to be in the black to get a stadium.

Let's only look at one thing and ignore everything else!

[Penthesilea]

Honestly, why does that state even have a baseball team?

[Headspace]

Let alone two.

[Ensam]

That's also true. Another fun fact: If it wasn't for revenue sharing, the Marlins and Rays would have been in the red both 2008 and 2009.

Hopefully the stadium changes thing (Same can be said for Rays, it's a shit of a stadium, I really don't like watching games there). But with things like it is now, it's a team that can not sustain itself even with sub-40m payrolls without getting money from other teams. That's fucked up. Woo for revenue sharing though. And pray the stadium actually gets people to show up.

Though to be fair, one of the problems for the Marlins is Wayne Huizenga signing a lease to himself that basically gives him all the money from parking and concessions. Marlins, per fan per game, make $1.64 from concessions not including parking. Pirates, Angels, and Mariners average $4.93. They make three times as much money per fan than the marlins do, that doesn't even take into account less fans. In '09, that'd have been a 5 mil difference, 5 mil that instead went into Huizenga's pockets.

And that doesn't include parking, where they only took in 450k lol. God, Huizenga really fucked up Henry and Loria. Fuck him.

[Pringles]

Yankees moving Javy to the bullpen and putting Nova in his rotation spot for at least one turn.

[Alderaan]

Atl is 19-20 this year in 1 run games.

3-15 on the road.

8 of the last 13 losses have been 1 run losses.

[Soa]

Houston scored on Cole Hamels, might as well just call it now. He's approaching 50 innings now without a single run of support, shit's getting absurd.
