Tyler getting close to hitting below league average despite that lucky, lucky April

Davidson ended up going 2-3, HR, in Charlotte's second game Tyler Saladino 2-3 too, now at .306

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) Thanks Dunn. Hey, he moved the runner over, at least for a bit

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Would that count as a steal for Abreu? Great question. Obviously not now, but what if he had taken off?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Is Nieto the only hitter on the roster who doesn't have one?? Gillaspie

Throw the f***ing ball, Beckett

Nick Faleris of Baseball Prospectus has Kolek's stock dropping too. Key to the whole White Sox draft might be how much the Marlins like Jackson.

Good challenge Robin

Do number 8 hitters in the National League have greater OBP numbers than their talent would indicate? They must do

Leury Garcia getting intentionally walked is a sign of how f***ed up the NL rules are

Anyone here follow the beat reporters on Twitter? Man is Colleen Kane a boring follow.

I always said Leury Garcia had crazy power

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) Danks just hit 90 Is that Van Slyke's number?

Interesting fact from Vin: De Aza took the third longest of any player in the history of baseball to hit into a double play, 571 PA, behind Craig Biggio and Dick McAuliffe. Could do with some of that old De Aza whenever he's ready.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) A beautiful deep fly ball to LCF over the CF head. Much obliged

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 08:13 PM) By the way, is there anyone in the majors now with a lower OPS than DeAza with over 175 AB's? Jedd Gyorko and Brad Miller

Just got in, what was Abreu's hit like?

Wendelken getting hit around. 9 hits in 2.2 IP

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:40 PM) So, just after seeing this, what are people thinking odds are that the Jackson report is true? I searched for it on Twitter and all I could find was a Cubs blogger mentioning a rumour. However I haven't seen any mention of this rumour elsewhere, not sure where he got it from.

1. Aiken 2. Rodon 3. Kolek 4. Jackson 5. Gordon 6. Nola

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 10:19 AM) One of the interesting thing I heard Jason parks say regarding Rodon was that for anyone who has seen his best, it's impossible to erase "what's possible" in your head. The fact that he's been so good at times means that he "can" be that good if you can make him consistent (assuming stuff doesn't degrade). Even though this isn't a slam dunk because so many things can change, it is, in a way, a MUCH safer assessment of ceiling than something based solely on "projection." Put another way, maybe we can imagine Aiken/Kolek's ceiling as high or higher than Rodon's if they learn to to the things we think they could learn to do, but we've actually seen Rodon DO these things at some point or another. Where was Parks discussing it? Fringe Average podcast?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:23 AM) He's a little long in the tooth for that league, though, isn't he? Yeah, he's 24 and a bit, the average age in high-A is 22.4

Hector Noesi's first win since May 6th, 2012, 40 outings ago (19 of them starts)

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:12 AM) Nobody can predict the future. Not even your advanced stats Advanced stats have been demonstrated to have way better predictive value than ERA

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:06 AM) But he doesn't and that is all that matters really For what has happened, sure. For projecting future results, not so much.
