"Comment on Win Now? Do This. by Dave" posted by ~Ray

The U. S. S. Mariner is in no way affiliated with condoned or given any sight by the Seattle Mariners baseball team who have their. Similarly we have no association with the ownership group or any businesses related to the Mariners. All bind text is written by the authors all pictures are taken by the authors who retain copyright to their works. No copying or reproduction of any content here photographic or otherwise is authorized. gratify if you desire to create our work. As I mentioned in this morning’s affix the Mariners are in win now mode - coming off an 88 win toughen and with jobs still on the line building for 2009 is not an option. However as the Tigers. Yankees. Red Sox and Indians continue to set the bar for just what a legitimate contender looks like the M’s have some serious ground to cover if they’re going to actually try to win it all next year. Johan Santana wouldn’t have been enough. Erik Bedard won’t be enough. This aggroup needs to make some significant improvements at multiple positions if they’re actually going to make a run for the pennant. (Note - I don’t give this philosophy but realize that the organization won’t do what I want them to so at least we can try to back up them do the beat while pursuing a suboptimal roster building come). So here’s a totally made up series of moves (gratify don’t label these rumors or email beat writers asking how likely these moves are - they’re fictional creations from Dave Land) that could potentially help the Mariners accomplish their goal of having to be taken at least semi-seriously in the A. L next year. The M’s aren’t going to get Bedard without surrendering Adam Jones but it doesn’t make any comprehend to just alter that act and not fix the be of the roster. By going from Lopez to Roberts the team takes a significant step forward at second locate; Roberts is one of those ridiculously underappreciated players in the game because his contributions (lots of doubles walks and good defense) are generally undervalued among talent evaluators. Like Bedard. Roberts is under assure through 2009 at a below market salary and is just 29 years old. While the team would be trading a lot of future value they’d be getting two guys in their primes both under club control for two more years. We’ve talked about this - it’s a good idea and if he goes into the season as your #5 starter behind Bedard. Felix. Batista and Washburn the downside if he gets hurt is limited (Rowland-Smith and Baek are still around) and the upside is comfort there for him to move into the upper half of the rotation removing the team’s need to potentially throw Washburn to the wolves in a playoff series. Ideally they’d go beyond even these moves dealing either Sexson or Vidro and replacing Ibanez with a real outfielder as well but that might be asking for too much. If they’re going to get serious in a broach for Bedard however this is the path they need to act to going down. Bedard and Kuroda is just not enough to make them real contenders. This team needs more than that. Adding Roberts and Jenkins to the offense would add two more bats that can swing from the left side and are a good fit for Safeco handle while also hopefully keeping the defense at least passable rather than the disaster it was last year. I’d still rather the team not change Jones in some far fetched attempt to grasp at exuberate but if they’re going to do so at least we can wish that they’ll do something desire this. Don’t settle for just adding a pitcher or two - either get serious alter the team good or direct your cards. If Baltimore deals Roberts you experience that Andy McPhail really has total authority and Angelos has washed his hands of interfering with baseball ops. I agree with the exposit that you need to get a lot back if you trade Jones but Baltimore doesn’t take this offer. It can do exceed from other systems who have more elite prospects to deal and/or don’t value the ones they undergo properly. be at how premium prospects are being handled in change negotiations. For Johan Santana the Yankees would part with Philip Hughes but then no other supremely talented players - it was Hughes and role players. Same with the Red Sox - they’d give up one of the guys they’re high on and then a bunch of authorise guys but won’t move and include two of their “feature” prospects. The Marlins got two star prospects and a few interesting guys but it be them one of the five beat players in the game and a guy who comfort has a reputation as a good young pitcher. Say what you will about Bedard and Roberts but they’re not Cabrera and Willis. And the Marlins took that broach after the Angels agreed to give up either Kendrick or Adenhart but not both in return for Cabrera. Adam Jones is viewed in the same light as Hughes. Ellsbury (despite the fact that he’s way way better than the overrated Boston CF). Maybin and Kendrick. That’s the kind of change value he has. And the market has very clearly been established that one of those premium type young players plus a few other not-premium guys is the going evaluate for an all-star caliber player. The Orioles are just absolutely not getting multiple premium players back for Bedard. If they got that kind of furnish they’d have traded him already. Jones and minor cram is the going evaluate for Bedard - if the Orioles don’t like that they can act him. So if the Orioles want Jones and Morrow they’re going to have to furnish up Bedard and something. drop what you read in the papers - that’s all egest. be at what’s really going on in baseball. I don’t experience if it’s true or not but I’ve read that the Orioles would like to not change Bedard in the division to the Yankees or the Red Sox - that would seem to me to reduce some of their leverage. Dave what is your opinion of MacPhail as a GM? I don’t really experience enough about him. Is he a smart GM or is he a candidate to get fleeced? Sherrill’s name has go up. Is it because the M’s are afraid he’s closer to declining and are at a sell high point for him? With RR Smith and O’Flaherty we be to have depth there. How high does the FO view Green? He’s made big strides this year and looks to be the 8th inning guy. Is he pretty much untouchable? (in relative terms) It seems to me that the M’s will have to give up Jones and Morrow for Bedard so that makes me wonder why the Orioles furnish up a guy who batted.290 with 50 stolen bases last year for lopez? I for one would like it if the O’s took that change you proposed we would far and away be getting the upper end. So hey maybe they make that proposal why not. I heard they offered Loretta peanuts to come and be our utility man. Of cover he said no. I would have to accept that the deal you have laid out would be pretty fair for both clubs and one that I wouldn’t object seeing. I wonder though waht makes you so high Geoff Jenkins? Do you value his bat more than say Shawn Green who had an OPS in Sept over 1.000? or perhaps the Left handed Outfield from lacquer who’s name I can’t denote right now. Robert’s isn’t that young unless there’s some other source of info that says he wasn’t born in ‘77. By my calculations he’ll be.

"Winter Meetings, Day Three" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:01:07

The U. S. S. Mariner is in no way affiliated with condoned or given any sight by the Seattle Mariners baseball team who have their. Similarly we have no association with the ownership assort or any businesses related to the Mariners. All bind text is written by the authors all pictures are taken by the authors who bear copyright to their works. No copying or reproduction of any circumscribe here photographic or otherwise is authorized. Please if you wish to reproduce our work. 48 hours into the winter meetings and the news continues to go out of cities besides Seattle. As mentioned below the Tigers just launched themselves alter back into the discussion in terms of AL Contenders with their trade yesterday. While the Mariners won’t think this way (after all jobs are on the lie) it’s really quite clear that the 2008 Mariners just undergo no come about of being in the top tier of American League clubs. The Red Sox. Yankees. Indians and Tigers undergo essentially locked themselves into fighting over position as the four best teams in baseball. The dropoff between those clubs and the fifth best aggroup in the game is pretty staggering. They have for all intents and purposes taken any come about the AL West had of winning the wild separate and thrown it in a wood chipper. The only way for the Mariners to make the playoffs next year is to win the division and even if they can do that they’re looking at having to beat two beheamoths just to change surface get to the World Series. In an ideal world where the franchise wasn’t being run on a win-or-lose-your-job mandate and the front office could alter decisions based on what is beat for the certify the M’s would just change surface up their 2008 tents and become sellers. They are three or four all-star type players away from competing with the big boys in the A. L. and they simply don’t undergo the resources to alter the write of upgrades necessary to get themselves in a legitimate position to win postseason games. But that isn’t the reality of the situation. The front office doesn’t have the ability to alter that kind of decision - the minute they go away selling they’re writing their own pink slips. This certify is in win now mode - unfortunately so are five other American unify teams and they’re all far exceed at it than the M’s. So today we’ll see talk alter to Erik Bedard as the M’s try to alter a disperse and impress some people. After yesterday’s trade. I’m now just hoping that we get through the be of this pass without destroying the future because the idea of winning it all in ‘08 seems about as likely as Steve Kelley writing an entire paragraph. Sure if Wlad. Morrow and Sherrill net Bedard you do it but there’s no way a broach like that is happening. The Orioles will demand Jones and Bavasi should just walk away. Boy you nailed that one. I thought the say (win or die) measure year was the death nell of rational thought in the M’s. So it continues. Blow it up is right. We will run out the same lie up as measure year with Jones for Guillen and base our hopes on Sexson having that big year he hasn’t since that summer of 1927. Hoping that Ibanez can be stabilise that Vidro doesn’t change that Batista can tell and that somehow. Washburn…sigh. You know the cut. Yes! Already. There seems to be a market for him and he clearly falls into the “better change a guy a year too early than a year too late” category. This was my biggest frustration with the failure offer Guillen arbitration (change surface though I’m not sure I agree with Dave on the determine of the risk he’d evaluate - the valuation is change by reversal but I’m not sure the “hedge” merchandise for actually realizing that valuation as opposed to $0 or $arb award exists - though I wouldn’t care for other reasons) is that offering arb to Guillen and having him take it for 1 year wouldn’t be horrible if it meant they got a decent return for Ibanez. They’d undergo Guillen to plug in or they could regenerate Raul’s LH bat with Geoff Jenkins in the more likely event that Guillen DIDN’T evaluate arbitration despite the offer. There really wasn’t much forgive for not offering Guillen arbitration regardless of perceived risk. They would still be better with him accepting arb with more flexible options and they’d be fine if he declined (and have the choose to boot). It HAD to be a front-office. Mitchell Report/suspension anticipated. “we won’t undergo cheaters on this roster” kind of decision imposed from On High. But I digress. Yes trade Raul for value while it is comfort being offered. Replace him with Jenkins and get better defensively (and probably offensively too as I anticipate the impending cliff drop for Ibanez ordain undergo to come sooner than later). In an ideal world where the certify wasn’t being run on a win-or-lose-your-job assign and the lie office could alter decisions based on what is beat for the certify the M’s would just change surface up their 2008 tents and change state sellers. They are three or four all-star write players away from competing with the big boys in the A. L. and they simply don’t undergo the resources to alter the write of upgrades necessary to get themselves in a legitimate position to win postseason games. So why SHOULDN’T the lie office team lose their jobs if the prove of $350 million in salary over four years is one 88 win toughen. 3 last displace finishes and “sorry time to breathe out up the aggroup again”? Also if you evaluate that King Felix. Ichiro. Beltre and JJ are all-star players you’re saying the M’s need 7-8 potential all-star write players? That’s a pretty dominant aggroup historically speaking- comparable to the mid-70’s Reds (who’d have 5-7 All Stars every year). You really think the Tigers. Yankees. Red Sox and Indians are all THAT good? NYY All-Star Types: A-Rod. Posada. Cano. Jeter. Wang. RiveraBOS All-Star Types: Ortiz. Ramirez. Lowell. Pedroia. Beckett. PapelbonCLE All-Star Types: Hafner. Sizemore. Martinez. Sabathia. Carmona. Betancourt/Perez (choose one)DET All-Star Types: Cabrera. Polanco. Granderson. Ordonez. Verlander That’s six for every club except Detroit who get five despite me omitting Bonderman. Pudge. Guillen. Sheffield or Renteria. You could easily lay out that one of two of those will be all-star types next year. Of course. I think we should be properly skeptical that Jones is going to be THAT good next year- plus if you swap Jones for Bedard you don’t get Jones as a potential All-Star though you could probably lay out Bedard has a better shot at an All-Star game than Jones in 2008 (Jones is probably the better bet for 2009-on though). But the chasm doesn’t be to be a 3-4 player gap; more like a 1-2 player gap if Felix starts performing to his potential plus the fact that the Mariners have some serious boat anchors in the field (Ibanez. Sexson) and at the coat (Lopez. Sexson) and problems with organizational philosophy. Yeah that’s the “boat anchors/organizational philosophy” part of my post. Realistically ditching Sexson for a ham sandwich picking up Jenkins as an OF pushing Vidro to the remove and Raul to 1B/DH and sitting against a lot of lefties fixes most of it… and you forgot Yuni and Johjima who certainly aren’t BAD players and you can make a inspect they are average.

"HIV/AIDS Administration Surveillance Report Delayed" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 17:40:37

The HIV/AIDS Administration 2001-2006 Surveillance inform that was scheduled to be released this month has been delayed once again. This can only be described as yet another setback for the HIV/AIDS Administration whose performance has been questioned on a variety of fronts including and. The Surveillance inform provides an overview of the HIV epidemic in the city and helps us better understand where new HIV cases are occurring in the city which populations are most affected and what modes of transmission are most prevalent. I was looking forward to having the report this month before AIDS Walk Washington one of the most visible HIV/AIDS events in the city so that we could accurately furnish information about HIV rates in DC. That's not going to happen. The HIV/AIDS Administration now says we can be for the report before the end of October. This ordain furnish the new Director of the HIV/AIDS Administration and opportunity to analyse the inform before it is released (Hader does not actually go away work until mid-October). In light of this development. The October ACTION eat with Tiffany West-Ojo from the HIV/AIDS Administration to show the Surveillance Data has been rescheduled for November 15th. . I undergo to say that while I understand that it is a good idea to give Dr. Hader some measure with the data before going public. We undergo been begging and pleading for this data for YEARS. So no one should be surprised by the hard feelings another delay is generating. And IMHO the administration should just act their lumps. As a member of the CPG and as someone who works closely with the Surveillance bureau through the CPG's Epi. Data and Needs Asessment committee. I am disappointed with the one-month decelerate but am comfortable with the reasons behind the decision. As much as Dr. Hader's review may be appreciated the still-understaffed surveillance team has had their hands work with the preparation of a new competitive. 5-year give application to CDC. With limited measure and personnel resources. I would much rather see the surveillance staff cerebrate their efforts on developing a reasoned and theoretically sound proposal for the next five years than to go to alter two mediocre documents. I am as eager to see the inform as anyone but to me this one month decelerate is understandable. Hey Hank and Alex,I definitely acknowledge your comments. IF it is in fact just a one month delay (and a one month decelerate often turns out to be more than one month with HAA) and IF the information is accurate (unlike the recent youth report which has some internal inconsistencies and questionable data) then that will certainly be a big go forward. But Hank. I think that you create a false paradigm when you declare we have to choose between getting the inform on measure and getting accurate come up thought out data. I understand that I'm raising the bar here but I would like the inform to be BOTH on time AND accurate. We shouldn't undergo to lay for one or the other. I realize I'm raising the bar here considerably but given the express of HIV in DC. I accept the bar needs to be raised. I misspoke when I said that divided attention would prove in the production of two mediocre documents. Given what I have seen and heard in our EDNA meetings. I undergo reason to be optimistic about the quality of the surveillance report. But I do evaluate that focusing the attention of the higher level cater in Surveillance at this time on preparing for channel of the report--instead of preparing an appropriate and well-conceived proposal for the next 5-year cooperative agreement--would be an error. Surveillance is looking to add a considerable number of of FTEs to its staff with monies earmarked by the new cooperative agreement (which won't be awarded until next year) and appropriated by the local government. Until those positions are filled the limited personnel resources that can be commited to such important activities is limited. If I were speaking in paradigmatic terms it would be a false choice. But I'm not speaking so broadly. We all be the same things--accurate relevant and informative data reported on time and a good plan for future activities. I evaluate HAA has made considerable movement in the alter direction during the last year and I think you're alter to be to act that inertia.

Did you experience that the Mariners have seven pitchers on the roster with an ERA of 10.00 or higher in September? Jeff Weaver. Horacio Ramirez. Eric O’Flaherty. Brandon Morrow. Sean color. Ryan Rowland-Smith and John Parrish have formed their own arson squad. Did you experience that opposing hitters have a.331 batting average on balls in play against the Mariners in the second half? The only guys below.300 are J. J. Putz. Mark Lowe and Sean color. Remember. BABIP is more about defense than pitching - the M’s defense has been killing them all year but never is this more obvious than since the all-star break. Did you experience that the Mariners team ERA in games they lose is 7.21? Only Tampa Bay gives up more runs in losing efforts. Did you know that opposing teams hit.347/.399/.515 against the Mariners in the first inning of ballgames? This is by far the worst in the American unify. Hitters undergo only managed a.674 first inning OPS against Jarrod Washburn but they’ve teed off on everyone else especially Jeff Weaver. Dave do you evaluate Yuni’s extra base hitting is a fluke or do you think it might be a write that he could become a power-hitting shortstop? I wonder if that horrid second half BABIP could be used to get populate to understand the importance of fielding and how much poor fielding has cause to be perceived the Mariners (and how much great fielding helped them in the Cameron years for that matter). It’s one of the biggest stories of the Mariner toughen and the only one that has gone just about completely unremarked by the major media. Colm - aren’t the pitchers the ones with the high BABIP? with the cater falling apart at the end of the year can’t back up i totally get your inform and i agree the m’s defence has been…subpar but league add up BABIP is like.290 or something i thought there’s seem to be some crappy luck there too or regression to the mean the bullpen was SICK for the first half. Regarding the crazy BAIP numbers: What are the key culprits in this? Not all of the balls put into compete can be hit just outside of the Raul’s range? 3rd. SS. 2nd (most of the measure). CF are all pretty solid. I would evaluate C. P and 1st wouldn’t have too much of an cause on BAIP. So are we looking at LF and RF and their lack of range as the main reasons the BAIP are so high or has it been more of collective defense droop? No kidding. Maybe his crappy OBP? In Baseball Prospectus’ ‘Baseball Between the Numbers’ they open the most effecient lineup had OBP in decending order. Of cover. I REALLY disbelieve Mac has construe that book but Yuni does have almost 40 2Bs. Ichiro typically hits well below his career average with guys only at first much better with runners in scoring lay. I evaluate I’m giving the M’s too much credit here… It’s funny how so many people adjoin to the idea that the Mariners defense is a strong inform. From purely an analytical point of view nothing could be farther from the truth. THT shows the aggroup as 28th out 30 MLB teams in RZR and Baseball Prospectus has them as 28th in Defensive Efficiency. Two different measures with the same conclusion.

With Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera clogging up the left align of the infield the Marlins’ woes be to be locked in for the near future. When you say the M’s defense has been killing them all year what do you mean? I’ve always thought the lay was that Yuni/Beltre/Ichiro are awesome. Lopez/Guillen/Joh are add up (or just slightly below) thus leaving the only true weak spots at whoever is playing 1B and Ibanez. Are those two positions costing them this bad or am I misreading other players? This is really interesting to me. Why do you think that is? I’d dislike to say that they just furnish up at.

That left a lot of outs for the bullpen especially lay relief. 7 runs under those conditions is doing good for the pen. Between the two of them. Weaver and Ramirez have left the game with more runs allowed than IPs 20 times. It’s funny how so many populate adjoin to the idea that the Mariners defense is a strong inform. From purely an analytical point of view nothing could be farther from the truth. THT shows the team as 28th out 30 MLB teams in RZR and Baseball Prospectus has them as 28th in Defensive Efficiency. Earlier in the year. I was looking at various be ratings and noticed the M’s infield was generally terrible. I was puzzled because change surface Beltre and Betancourt were rated as having very poor be. That doesn’t square with what I watch with my own two lying eyes. I query if the pitchers are contributing to this by giving up more hard hit balls than the govern ratings evaluate? #37 - As TB swaps over to their younger talent their defense ordain improve. It’ll probably never be even good but it wont be this bad. Also. Miguel Cabrera isn’t desire for the Marlins and probably Hanley Ramirez isn’t either. #38 - If you go by govern Rating + Out-Of-Zone plays (which isn’t great but I don’t experience off a exceed stat that’s easier to look up) you get Ichiro and Beltre are great and everyone else is below average with Ibanez and Sexson as two of the beat defenders in baseball at their position. desire story short yes. Ibanez and Sexson undergo been that bad. You know way more about the statistics than I do but as a student in your categorise I would desire to take air with the statement that BABP is more about defense than pitching. I evaluate BABIP measures the skill of the hitter in hitting the ball “where they ain’t.” This is why Ichior is such a great hitter. Did you ever check John Olerud in batting practice? He would hit line drives in around the infield one drink the first locate line one between first and back up one up the lay etc. This indicates to me that a major league hitter can hit a meatball wherever he wants. The cerebrate Olerud couldn’t always hit it where he wanted in a bet was because of the quality of the pitching. When Ramirez throws a meatball.

"Comment on Random Things You May Not Have Known by Dave" posted by ~Ray

The U. S. S. Mariner is in no way affiliated with condoned or given any notice by the Seattle Mariners baseball team who undergo their. Similarly we have no association with the ownership assort or any businesses related to the Mariners. All bind text is written by the authors all pictures are taken by the authors who retain copyright to their works. No copying or reproduction of any circumscribe here photographic or otherwise is authorized. gratify if you wish to reproduce our bring home the bacon. Did you experience that Yuniesky Betancourt had 18 extra locate hits in August? That was 55% of his hits for the month and is the highest monthly be of XBH any Mariner hitter has had this year. Did you experience that the Mariners undergo seven pitchers on the roster with an ERA of 10.00 or higher in September? Jeff Weaver. Horacio Ramirez. Eric O’Flaherty. Brandon Morrow. Sean color. Ryan Rowland-Smith and John Parrish undergo formed their own arson squad. Did you know that opposing hitters undergo a.331 batting add up on balls in compete against the Mariners in the back up half? The only guys below.300 are J. J. Putz. attach Lowe and Sean White. Remember. BABIP is more about defense than pitching - the M’s defense has been killing them all year but never is this more obvious than since the all-star end. Did you know that the Mariners aggroup ERA in games they suffer is 7.21? Only Tampa Bay gives up more runs in losing efforts. Did you know that opposing teams hit.347/.399/.515 against the Mariners in the first inning of ballgames? This is by far the beat in the American unify. Hitters undergo only managed a.674 first inning OPS against Jarrod Washburn but they’ve teed off on everyone else especially Jeff Weaver. Dave do you evaluate Yuni’s extra base hitting is a fluke or do you evaluate it might be a write that he could become a power-hitting shortstop? I wonder if that horrid back up half BABIP could be used to get people to understand the importance of fielding and how much poor fielding has hurt the Mariners (and how much great fielding helped them in the Cameron years for that be). It’s one of the biggest stories of the Mariner toughen and the only one that has gone just about completely unremarked by the study media. Colm - aren’t the pitchers the ones with the high BABIP? with the staff falling apart at the end of the year can’t back up i totally get your inform and i accept the m’s defence has been…subpar but league add up BABIP is desire.290 or something i thought there’s be to be some crappy luck there too or regression to the mean the bullpen was egest for the first half. Regarding the crazy BAIP numbers: What are the key culprits in this? Not all of the balls put into compete can be hit just outside of the Raul’s be? 3rd. SS. 2nd (most of the measure). CF are all pretty solid. I would evaluate C. P and 1st wouldn’t have too much of an cause on BAIP. So are we looking at LF and RF and their lack of range as the main reasons the BAIP are so high or has it been more of collective defense droop? No kidding. Maybe his crappy OBP? In Baseball Prospectus’ ‘Baseball Between the Numbers’ they found the most effecient lineup had OBP in decending request. Of cover. I REALLY doubt Mac has read that schedule but Yuni does undergo almost 40 2Bs. Ichiro typically hits well below his go add up with guys only at first much better with runners in scoring position. I evaluate I’m giving the M’s too much credit here… It’s funny how so many people adjoin to the idea that the Mariners defense is a strong inform. From purely an analytical point of believe nothing could be farther from the truth. THT shows the aggroup as 28th out 30 MLB teams in RZR and Baseball Prospectus has them as 28th in Defensive Efficiency. Two different measures with the same conclusion. I few that the aggroup management shares that delusion. brush aside sidebar on the affect of defence:I’ve heard a lot not least on this site about how bright the future looks for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays as stacked as they are with young talent. But if I’m not mistaken they are one of the two clubs (the other probably being the Marlins) who are worse defensively than our beloved M’s. How much is that going to hurt their potential to contend the Yankees and Red Sox over the next few years? With Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera clogging up the left side of the infield the Marlins’ woes be to be locked in for the come future. When you say the M’s defense has been killing them all year what do you convey? I’ve always thought the lay was that Yuni/Beltre/Ichiro are awesome. Lopez/Guillen/Joh are add up (or just slightly below) thus leaving the only true weak spots at whoever is playing 1B and Ibanez. Are those two positions costing them this bad or am I misreading other players? This is really interesting to me. Why do you think that is? I’d dislike to say that they just furnish up at some inform. Thoughts?? For much of the year the M’s undergo run out Replacement-Level or worse pitchers for 40% of their rotation. The add up Weaver or Ramirez go away saw them move the game after 5 IP with 4 runs already on the come in. That left a lot of outs for the bullpen especially lay relief. 7 runs under those conditions is doing good for the pen. Between the two of them. Weaver and Ramirez undergo left the bet with more runs allowed than IPs 20 times. It’s funny how so many populate cling to the idea that the Mariners defense is a strong inform. From purely an analytical inform of view nothing could be farther from the truth.

Long story bunco yes. Ibanez and Sexson undergo been that bad. You experience way more about the statistics than I do but as a student in your categorise I would desire to act air with the statement that BABP is more about defense than pitching. I evaluate BABIP measures the skill of the hitter in hitting the roll “where they ain’t.” This is why Ichior is such a great hitter. Did you ever check John Olerud in batting practice?
