April 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 05:12 AM) The line up might actually produce more runs later in the season with the young guys + Abreu if the Sox keep him around for Moncada's sake. Ideally the Sox could move Q, Shields and Gonzalez but then who the hell starts ? The Rodon situation doesn't feel right, like it's a precursor to a larger injury. Sox might want to sign Peavy or Fister or Edwin Jackson or check into the remaining free agent starters. I think they need another guy to eat innings when Covey , Shields and Gonzalez all bomb. They will wreck their bullpen arms. Called it . Pelfrey

April 8, 20178 yr I'm all for tanking/rebuild But as I'm watching the games.. where is the young talent getting experience.....?
April 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (harkness @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 04:47 AM) I'm all for tanking/rebuild But as I'm watching the games.. where is the young talent getting experience.....? In the minor leagues. The major league team doesn't matter the next few seasons. That's why you'd have to have rocks in your head to pay full price for a ticket at any time. Stubhub box seats for 15 bucks is the way to go this season.
April 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Hashtag stays because it's funny Yeah, for me it's more about the idea of trying to get the #1 pick, not necessarily the best chance at draft Seth Beer. It all depends on who is the best player available at our pick.
April 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Average below .250. Not looking like a first round pick. BABIP of .209, hitting .255/.488/.582, 22 walks, 8 strikeouts.
April 9, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 03:32 PM) BABIP of .209, hitting .255/.488/.582, 22 walks, 8 strikeouts. Serious question... from a somewhat stat n00b... How does one have a batting average on balls in play below their batting average?
April 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 05:41 PM) Serious question... from a somewhat stat n00b... How does one have a batting average on balls in play below their batting average? Gonna guess that stat doesn't include home runs, which he has 9 of so far. Now, why a stat would be useful by subtracting home runs is beyond me.

It doesn't count home runs, because it's a way to determine how lucky a player is getting on his balls in play being turned into outs, and home runs can't be turned into outs.

April 10, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 05:50 PM) Because it's only considering balls in play, which seems to make sense to me. I guess, but it also seems to count strikeouts, which aren't anymore 'in play' than home runs.
April 10, 20178 yr QUOTE (Soha @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) I guess, but it also seems to count strikeouts, which aren't anymore 'in play' than home runs. It doesn't count strikeouts, that's the whole point. It allows you see a player's batting average not tied to frequency of contact.

It allows you see a player's batting average not tied to frequency of contact. Hmm... Seth Beer's current stats (that are relevant to this discussion) as listed on Clemson's site: Overall stats: .265 BA, 113ab, 30 hits, 9 home runs, 18 strikeouts Stats with homeruns taken out: .202 BA, 104ab, 21 hits Stats with homeruns and strikeouts taken out: .244 BA, 86ab, 21 hits The numbers with hr's taken out, but not strikeouts is the closest one to the .209 listed earlier in the thread. That was based off a slightly different point, because his average was .255 there, but is .265 right now. Maybe I'm having a brain fart and there's something else to discount from his totals that hasn't dawned on me.
