I don't think Hawk ever meant for a complete disavowal of advanced statistics, but merely what he said: "they are the most overrated thing in baseball." They probably are, at least in some circles.

UZR > all

Viciedo has a 113 wRC+ in July

Yep, those buttholes are living the good life. Thanks a lot, government. Meanwhile, everyone is trying to give out good jobs but there is nobody to take them. Tragic.

Regardless of Hawk's fate, I hope we see the last of Stone soon.

lol I love when Hawk trashes the haters

Rios = clutch

ADA kicking some ass lately

Anderson keeps chugging along.

Keppinger > Gordon

Rack 'em up!

What's wrong with all these people who are refusing the great jobs and instead working at McD's?

Dunn has been MUCH more competitive against lefties lately

No Gordon in lineup. Hugging teammates?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) He showed more power this year in the majors, and he has absolutely destroyed AAA. Castellanos would be fine with me as well f*** it, we'll take both

Castellanos

If I was doing Peavy and Crain, I'd want Owings, Davidson, Eaton

Ugh, Morel again... Also, no Gordon, which is odd

FWIW, I prefer Chris Owings to Matt Davidson...but why not both?

I miss the early 1900s too.

I don't understand why his arm is "young" for his age. Did he ever stop pitching? What makes him different from anyone else that is 28?

Tiger starts Sunday off horribly, but other than some "god damn it" on national TV he has kept his cool pretty well and could recover and win this thing after 9 holes. Or he'll continue to choke. No part of his game is looking good so far today.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jul 21, 2013 -> 09:32 AM) Yes. Pee wee league counts too. But to be practical, we'll determine major league mileage by looking at major league innings. Valuable pitching prospects don't get ridden hard in the minors. For comparison's sake, Sale has thrown just a little bit less in the MLB - 405 IP. We can't say they've had a similar workload though, because Jeffy threw 485 IP in MiLB while Chris threw 10. Samardzija threw 241 IP in college, too. Chris had similar college usage. What we can see, though, is you can't call Samardzija's arm 25 when he's thrown twice the innings of our 24 year old ace. How old is Chris's arm? 12? All of those innings count.

If the rumored return for Garza is right, we should be able to swing a franchise-changing kind of deal for Peavy if our GM can scout and negotiate well.

The hope here is that Phegley is good enough that we don't have to worry about any of these guys - maybe see Ayala, Barraza, or as of yet undrafted players as Phegley starts to get older and approaches FA (no doubt after a few WS titles for our Sox )
