QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) It's still crazy to me how much the Bulls shooting guard position this year resembles the rotation DH from last year's Sox team. Will there be a Manny Ramirez out there that's bought out by his team? Bogans = Kotsay...lol. And Kyle Korver can be Andruw Jones.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Mayo has scary trends which have turned me off on him. No excuse for being a 85%+ free throw shooter as a rookie and now at 75%. Stats like that make me question a palyers dedication. Maybe it's because his coach is misusing him. Mayo should be starting on just about every NBA team, but his coach tends to think Tony Allen deserves more playing time. I'd be pissed off and uninterested if I were him too.

I can't believe the Bulls let Mayo slip to the freaking Pacers for McRoberts and a first rounder...WTF.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) They are both 41st at their respective positions. Not sure how you can say thats low for a Center, but not low for a Guard? Because PER overvalues the defensive abilities of bigs. The only defensive stats that go into PER are steals and blocks and I'm pretty sure Asik has a decent amount of blocks. You also have to take into account how misused Mayo has been this season. 12 PER is not his true talent. His true talent is more like 15-16 at this point, which is right up there with Luol Deng.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Asik per = 11.44 (41st Center) May per = 12.39 (41st SG) How is that homer talk? Centers are more scarce than guards. if you look at them statistically they are pretty similar. The only thing Mayo is much better at is hype. I loved him in HS, thought hed be great in College and have wanted him in the pros. But no way am I giving up a young talented Center on a risk like Mayo. They can have 1st round picks or whatever. An 11 PER for a big man is pretty low.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) ??? I just found out that account is fake...haha.

Battier goes to Memphis for Thabeet. O.J. Mayo has been traded for Josh McRoberts + first rounder...that's a rumor though.

Perkins to OKC for Jeff Green.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) Yup. 2009 was indeed an outlier. 30+ HR allowed is pretty much a lock for Garza. He gave up 28 last year in one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball. I would be surprised if he didn't give up 35.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 08:38 PM) What would his UZR Be? Carlos Quentin bad. Defensive rating actually likes Boozer - I guess there's exceptions with every stat. Just like how Javy Vazquez defies FIP.

Carlos Boozer's defense is so damn bad.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) Does Scalabrine just get paid to high five people during timeouts? Yes.

The Bulls look confused on both ends of the floor.

3 straight steals by Brewer.

Joakim = beast.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) He's going to stick out there compared to rest of the team. He sticks out on just about every team. Courtney Lee is inactive for Houston's game, could mean something.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 23, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) Stay classy, Jonny Gomes. http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/conte...?cxtype=feedbot Jonny Gomes is crazy, so that was expected.

Hinrich's going to Atlanta.

You can probably get Rasmus for Danks or Floyd plus some of our best spects. But Buehrle? No way.

My Cardinals friends' worst nightmares have come true. One of them kept telling me about how he was worried that Waino's arm was going to pop off at any moment due to his bad mechanics. Well, that moment has occurred. The Cards are screwed.

Lee is a bad defender, Mayo's a bad defender, Parker's not a good defender either. All these guys have Dratings around 110. Bogans is actually one of the better defensive 2 guards in the league, according to Drating. Mayo's had a very bad year offensively. PER likes Lee the most out of this group this year, but Mayo's definitely the high up-side guy who the Bulls should aim for.

Played two games of the demo. I like the stick controls. Pitching is now a lot more realistic. 40% of my pitches were balls, that's usually what it is for most pitchers.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 05:26 PM) I think this may have been shown in another thread, I can remember, but does anyone know where to find projections for a team Runs Scored and Runs Allowed. I would be nice to see the projections for the Sox and other AL teams and then apply the Bill James Pythagorean formula: W%=[(Runs Scored)^1.81]/[(Runs Scored)^1.81 + (Runs Allowed)^1.81]. This would reveal a pretty accurate projection for season wins, which can be used for awesome knowledge/gambling. Anyway, does anyone have a link or source for those RS and RA projections per team (BP, Pecota, Zips, etc). Not yet. There will be soon. CAIRO has them up already and I think BP will have theirs up soon.

Demo is out right now. Be warned: it's 3 GB. It will take a while to download.

Bulletstorm is so much fun.
