Personally I don't see the logic. We have too many left handed hitters as is and at least a few guys who could probably do as well as him at first if LaPora fails. Unless they are concerned with...

No you are correct he didn't invent or create the ideas, however he did change many of the applications of the ideas. Businesses around the world pay top dollar for Beane to come speak to their...

The true genius of the Moneyball philosophy in Beane's case isn't just winning with clever signings. He turned Oakland into a profitable franchise. His ideas are used widely now by many businesses...

I mostly agree with you, we have a lot of ground balls coming from our pitching staff. More opportunities does raise the likely hood of having more errors. Also with Asdrubal out most of the season...

GeronimoSon, I agree the HRs are likely to be an issue, and as with any young player consistency. But looking at his numbers on fangraphs, he has did much better all year last year at keeping the...

I agree fully with you Sacco, baseball is fun. I catch single A games at least a few times a year. And on the MLB extra innings package, I believe it is DirectTV exclusive again. I just get the...

I hope that Donald gets the nod at 3rd from the names that are being considered. He plays hard and has to potential to be decent at the plate. I just don't think he has the arm strength.

Really? I thought the Texas Rangers where pretty fun to watch last year. Their payroll was only $55 million. Unless I'm missing something they hit the crap out of the ball and went to the World...

The "spending means winning" philosophy isn't as sound as it seems. The Giants are a great recent example. The 2001-2004 Oakland A's didn't spend much but they won a ton of games. And you can't...

browniebuck, putting a team together with a low payroll isn't a bad thing. The Oakland A's made it to the playoffs, I believe, 3 straight years with the lowest payroll in baseball. The real problem...

I don't think Donald has the arm strength to play 3rd every day. That was what hurt him at SS last season. I would like to see Goedert get a shot but don't think it's likely. Unfortunately it looks...

Fangraphs has all of those numbers and a button to export all their stats to excel.

I think you have to give some credit to the fact that, regardless of payroll, he has been able to put a team out every year that wins close to 90 games. No matter how much money you throw at the...

If the goal is to not just get a decent grade but also help the coach and team out, I would put together K% and BB%. They aren't advanced stats per se but they could be helpful in showing the team...
