santo=dorf Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 A B+ for their lineup? That lineup is a joke and might be 4th best in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 That's ok if he talked about the Yankees. They feel as if they're going to win the division easily. I think the Indians and White Sox have something to say about that. It'll be a good season definately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) Starting Pitching A- Bullpen B+ Hmmm. Which group deserves the A, and which group is more like a B- at best? Rotation 1. J. Santana 2.61 ERA, 0.92 WHIP 2. B. Radke 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP 3. Carlos Silva 4.21 ERA, 1.43 WHIP 4. Kyle Lohse 5.34 ERA, 1.63 WHIP 5. Joe Mays 6.30 ERA, 1.52 WHIP Bullpen Joe Nathan 1.62 ERA, 0.98 WHIP Juan Rincon 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP J.C. Romero 3.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP Jesse Crain 2.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP Grant Balfour 4.35 ERA, 1.42 WHIP Balfour had a 1.24 WHIP at home and a 3.63 ERA on the road. He could possibly do very well this year. Take away the runs that he gave up in Comiskey and Arlington, and his road ERA is unbelievable. He pitched in 13 different parks on the road, and he didn't give up an earned run or an unearned run in 8 of them. You have to do all of your own research if you really expect to learn anything, because them Espn shows...wow. They'll make you dumber. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we have in overall depth the Twins have in overall quality. Personally, I prefer quality to quantity most of the time, but maybe that is just me. If the Sox win the division, it will have to be because they have the best all around team, because they probably won't outhit Cleveland, and they won't outpitch Minnesota.

YASNY Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 You guys are knocking the intangibles, but there is logic behind the fact they are grading that. For example, KW has focused on acquiring "grinders". Not stat guys, but guys that play baseball to win. AJP can be an intangible himself. Will he be a problem in the clubhouse, or just irritate the hell out of the opposition? Sure, intangibles are not measurable, but they can be intelligently examined and given a probable grade.

When you constantly win games like they do, lucky wins become non-existent. Intangibles are very, very real. Intangibles are also the reason Timo Perez is back at $1 mill...and almost all of White Sox nation is still wondering WTF...$1 f***in million? That is like them giving me a minor league contract.

That is like them giving me a minor league contract. I think that by the season's end, that salary will be considered a bargain. Timo's better than he was last year. He was playing with an injured wheel that effected all the parts of his game that were his strong points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
