    I like to pretend that I'm still following this team, but usually I watch/listen to an inning or two and then read the IGT to find out what happened. So a big thanks to the 'pool for keeping me informed.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/21/opinion/21glanville-leadoff.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=opinion Former Speedy Leadoff Hitter Doug Glanville rushes to the defense of Jacoby Ellsbury (and also Doug Glanville, though at least he's upfront about it). I'm inclined to agree with him. This isn't an argument about "intangibles" - it's an argument about the limits of the statistics that are commonly used today. There's no reason why statistics can't be compiled that would show that the defense is more likely to make an error when an Ellsbury (or a healthy Reyes) is on base than not. Or that fast players are more likely to reach base on error than slow players. Etc. Etc. But they aren't, and the lack of such statistics means that speed could be undervalued. All that being said, though, .326 is still a pretty poor OBP for a leadoff hitter.

    Ichiro gets his second walk-off hit. This one is a homer off The Most Automatic Closer Evah http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/19/sports/AP-BBA-Yankees-Mariners.html

    Well, that was fun while it lasted. Congratulations to Edgy for walking around with this stuff in his brain and to the Thing for getting it half right just by guessing. For what it's worth, Kingman was batting .209 with 9 home runs and 28 RBIs when he was traded. I'm now trying to understand why my 12-year-old self found the Kingman and Seaver trades equally crushing.

    Yes to Stearns and Henderson (which I guess makes it fairly clear that 1978 isn't far off the mark).

    "Late '70's?" Awfully soft and squishy for an answer. Is this what happens when Disney buys Marvel? No comment on whether or not it's correct. Not 16.

    A's - Rickey says Rickey had the most hits. Canseco for HRs.
  11. Chad ochoseis
    Indians - Lou Boudreau for hits, Jim Thome for HRs
  12. Chad ochoseis
    Natspos - Tim Raines for hits Mariners - Ichiro for hits Dbacks - Luis Gonzalez for HRs edited to remove Andre Dawson for Expos HRs after noticing that the correct answer was up

    What Kong said, except I'm going today instead of tomorrow. I can live without a Frankie bobblehead.

    Mark Fidrych. Wasn't he everyone's favorite non-Met in 1976? Also Freddie Patek, because I'm short, too.

    9/5/07 - Jeff Conine, late season acquisition September callup, somewhere in the obscure '70s reaches of my memory - Rich Puig September acquisitions, same obscure reaches - Larry Bowa, Doc Medich

    I like the slappy, leadoff-type approach to the answer. Juan Pierre?

    Didn't Wagner make some sort of putz-like comment about not being able to get motivated for four-out saves? It can't hurt to give him a shot once he's healthy, but my expectations for Wagner are low.

    Another Met who won't be continuing on with a lesser team in 2009...

    I found it disappointing. Mickey Rourke did a fine acting job, and Marisa Tomei was OK as the stripper with a heart of gold, but the movie followed a pretty standard formula...washed up guy had it all, loses it all, gets on the road to recovery. If it's a happy ending, he overcomes incredible odds to get it all back and gets the woman in the process. If it's a tragedy, he almost gets it all back, but just barely misses. If you live in a beat-up city in Jersey, you'll probably find someplace you recognize. I used to live about four blocks from the Acme supermarket where the Mickey Rourke character has to work when smacking folks down at the American Legion hall in Rahway doesn't pay the bills. It wasn't bad. The wrestling scenes were pretty good and there's a pretty cool scene in the Acme when Mickey remembers that he's a wrestler and not a deli-counter dude. But the plot was pretty weak.

    David Segui, son of relief pitcher and Ball Four bit player Diego Segui.

    A hotshot French magazine editor suffers a stroke at the age of 42. Although he remains completely cognizant of the world around him, he is paralyzed and unable to do anything about said world except blink his left eye. Which he does. Frequently enough that he authors an entire book about his ordeal with nothing but his brains, a loyal transcriber, and that left eye. It doesn't sound like much of a movie plot, but it works quite well.

    I saw it two weeks ago - it was my "It's Christmas and I'm Jewish and there's nothing else to do" movie. Cute. Sweet. Heartwarming. Well written and well acted. A little unrealistic, but still fun to watch.

    Two cents... Nymr83 wrote: Player A goes .400/.500/.600 in 100 ABs Player B goes .250/.300/.325 in 600 ABs and they're both DH's because i don't want to hear about defense (yet) who is higher on your list? I'd think that a player who sits is about equal in value to a replacement player. So add in replacement value performance (call it .230/.300/.310) for 500 ABs for Player A. That gives him the equivalent of .258/.333/.358 in 600 ABs. So I'd take Player A in the extreme example, but not by much.
