Ah, sorry. My bad to both of you guys if I "misremembered". :grin:
By the way, I wasn't criticizing you for using OPS. That's fine. But you need to use the actual statistic. What I was saying is that you're...
It depends on how long Berkman plays, since the Hall voters, fair or unfair, place a lot of emphasis on cumulative numbers in categories like HR,...
I'm not following you. Are you saying that I labelled Lance as injury-prone? I definitely don't recall that.
You're just arbitrarily picking random numbers with the "five seasons above 1.000 OPS". I can say Bagwell had six seasons about a .980 OPS,...
:confused: Again, on what planet is Berkman's prime not close to Bagwell? Also, fans aren't going to MMP? The Astros averaged over 31,000 per...
Much better first baseman offensively? Berkman has a higher career BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS than Bagwell. Yes, I know, that doesn't prove everything....
Those factors are largely out of the player's control, though. If a manager doesn't put you out there every day, you're not going to get...
It works for me, because that's an asset. If he holds those numbers, he could play a very important role to a winning team in three years or so,...
Prior to 2003, Thomas' slugging percentages, in the prior five seasons: .480, .471, .625, .441, .472. After 2003, Thomas' slugging...
You've been beating the Berkman/injury myth for well before this. And I think Frank Thomas is a very good example of a power guy that held into...
Unless he absolutely falls off the map, $14 million is not at all unreasonable for his production. It's amazing how spoiled Astros fans are by...
Before last year, in which he obviously had the calf strain, he had played in 159, 153 and 152 games in 2008, 2007 and 2006. Basically, other than...
He only just threw for the sixth-most yards in NFL history with a QB rating around 100, top five in the league. Yeah, so overpaid. :rolleyes:
I really hope there's a joke here I'm not getting.
Um, first off, players under contract are strongly discouraged, if not outright prohibited depending on the circumstance, from talking about other...
Right, but I'm just speaking about general trends here, not any one of us in particular. People need to realize - and it starts with the Nielsen...
WTF? Can some of you not read? He's referencing the two teams that were most frequently rumored to be interested in trading for him up to the...
No, but people who watch online and on DVR aren't watching the ads that people pay big bucks for. That's the problem. There are some ads online,...
Exactly. In a year like this, I basically see three elites - Kentucky, Kansas and Syracuse - with Duke potentially making it four. Aside from...
