  1. I've heard it said top shelf college baseball is close to AA competition wise. If true Harvey has been right on target. Now about that Dickey fellow. Cheer up young man you are being offered a lifetime of material riches.

Seems to be ready for at least a shot at the majors. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=sierra001moi Maybe the Mets can sweeten the pot a bit and get the Jays to add him to the Dickey deal. Later That's Ruben Alou's cousin!
  3. If Dickey doesn't sign he kinda becomes a man without a team. He strikes me as a guy who could become very angry obstinate here having been painted as a villian and all. Anyone seen John Franco the last couple days?
  4. John Buck's stats remind me of Arencibia, nice pop but Mendoza worthy.
  5. Dickey don't be a dick, don't be a fool with your li-fe....
  6. My only caveat is he missed time in 2010 with two bulging discs and this would be his third organization.
  7. Alot of moving parts to be worked on. Paperwork, Physicals Legalese and such to finish. Guessing tomorrow. I don't like the different proposals but Dickey kinda sealed his fate at the Xmas Party. Bad judgement by R.A. that day.
  8. Probably none? Speculation based on fairly recent ACL Surgery I assume.
  9. I saw a tweet on Rotoworld from Jeff Passan that this may be morphing into a multiplayer trade on both sides. If Thole goes wouldn't Arencibia have to be the C coming back? D'Arnaud is not 2013 ready with that knee I think.

  12. Now I'm thinking sign and trade and an eventual Dickey tirade against Met management.
  13. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr wrote: Now Sanchez for 5 years/$80M. That's a AAV of $16M. For ANIBAL FUCKING SANCHEZ. 2 years. No trade. Do it. Now. Give him a book-cave and one of those libraries where you pull a book, and it shoots you somewhere like the pitcher's mound or clubhouse. Posthaste. The 2 years for Dickey just became 30 with Prejudice. Nice job Fred...
  14. I asked David Cone a few years ago who the two best righties of his generation were and his answer was. 1. Bob Gibson 2. Tom Seaver He qualified it by saying Gibson for a day and Seaver for a season. I didnt ask about 1968 lol.
  15. Trumbo and Bourjos would fill 2/3 of the OF and are Wilpon priced.
  16. Can Gary Smith play the OF?
  17. So much for packaging him with R.A.....

You accurately portray its flaws, but for over a century we've accepted ERA as the definitive measure of overall effectiveness by pitchers, despite its obvious flaws --- pretending all parks are equal, pretending all fielding is equal, pretending all runs belong to the pitcher who first allowed the runner on base, etc. We can and must do better, and FIP can help take us there. Indeed. I saw a better FIP recently (Beyond the boxscore? not sure where..) that took into account, or more accurately, took out of account, the balls in play bit. FIP despite saying it's fielding independent, awards points for put outs. the new formula went by PA instead of IP. Seemed to work better. I tried some similar calculations in the past but these people put in way more time than me. Niese is one of those under perform FIP guys usually. Last year was better though, so it's interesting. ERA and FIP are both fair metrics.

  20. This forum will have it first...2 for 26 if RA shaves and donates 1 million to the world fund.
  21. Too much was expected of him. he was fine. Now move on Andres.
  22. Olt's fine..geez..Texas made room for him to start at 3B Is Dickey still a Met?
  23. smg58 wrote: Well certainly the Shields trade raised the bar for what the Mets need to ask for in return for Dickey -- especially since Dickey is not exactly asking for what an inferior pitcher just got from the Dodgers. You'd think so...its like RA has incurable clap or something.
  24. R.A. you are about 100 in baseball years. Try not to let your pride cause you to leave too much money on the table.
