... But in the outfield, here is what you're thinking on every pitch: OK I've seen the catchers signal. I know the pitch. I have to remember what this batter...
A question: Do those numbers account for park effects? Jeromy Burnitz put up some nice stats last year, but he played at the Coors Field launching pad, and his...
interesting chart Aaron. I checked it out. The value that the Cubs have to subtract to add the value of the incoming player (and is the potential value of...
Well i hadnt heard of Hairston either, but letsd hope he can at least be a productive leadoff hitter..Something we have needed since Lofton departed.But i...
I have to jump in again with this because some of the posts brought back strongly my memories of being a starting pitcher and center fielder for my men's rec...
Jt I dont think Hendry is done yet Maybe this will all turn out alright lets wait and see..And i agree we got shafted in the Sosa deal as far as talent for...
No, the numbers are not park adjusted, and they should be. I apologize for that. I will work on a second revision of the numbers, and adjust for park...
I posted a new file called "Sosa versus Replacement II." This time, I ballpark adjusted all statistics, and included a bevy of players to use as reference...
No need to apologize, of course. It's nice work, park effects or no. Honestly, though, you picked three of the toughest nuts to crack in terms of statistical...
The new one is up, and takes into account ballpark effects. It does not, however, run Eric Byrnes. I took the liberty of running Byrnes, and he scores a...
Burnitz is a power hitter at the end of his career that strikes out consistantly and isn't very good in the field. We just got rid of that same problem so lets...
In a message dated 1/31/2005 5:12:35 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... I have to agree. Burnitz will hit a lot of homers in the friendly confines but if you look...
As a Scot who has not been raised on the game and only developed an interest in baseball in recent years I find a lot of the stats meaningless. My feelings for...
Hairston. He's a career utility player whose numbers have improved every year for the past three, but he's never played many games ... [Non-text portions of...
I agree. I was very keen about Burnitz when his career started but he is more like a latter day Gorman Thomas without the crushing power (and perhaps the fun...

... out ... MLB.com is reporting that the Cubs are set to announce the signing of Burnitz as soon as the Sosa deal is completed. They also stated that Burnitz...
Nicely written, asgardsgate. Yes, lardy guys like David Wells and Rick Reushel can do well in baseball. And pitchers and catchers do handle most of the mental...

Frankly, I am a little disappointed in all of this. I had hoped that getting Hairston meant that we would be considering playing a little more small ball....
Regardless of how much in the brains department it may or may not take to play the game, it requires quite a bit of intellect to manage it... and again, no...
I confess to being deeply disappointed by the Burnitz signing. It would have been far better to simply let Jason Dubois have a shot IMO. However, I think it's...
We should at least give DuBois a shot before Burnitz thirty three <lyfestory@...> wrote: yeah, according to what i've read, they plan to announce the...
I was hoping we wouldn't go for Burnitz. But I guess he's the best we can do considering how much of Sosa's salary we still have to pay. Another Cubs...
