Pale hose talk is going to be used just for white sox talk. If you have any more questions, feel free to pm me or any other mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthraxFan93 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Umm, how does this effect the sox.. Meaning Signing Garland to a long-term deal, resigning Jose next year, and Makry in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) I disagree with it being a horrible deal, looks abotu right to me. I do however agree with you that something will likely follow and that could be Zito being traded at the GM meetings. 7 mill for a guy who is likely to post an era between 4.7-5? I'd call that a horrible deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I am stunned that Esteban Loaiza continues to parlay his 03 season with the White Sox into the heavy contracts he has recieved from the Nationals and A's. Those contracts would seem to fit someone who had continued success, not a one year wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObamaKnowsBest Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The A's have signed Esteban Loaiza to a 3 year deal for 21 mil. Solid starter for a staff that is already one of the best. THe A's should be dangerous next year they need to sign a big bat, dont see why they arent in the Konerko running. We all no what kind of trouble we have with the A's.

ChWRoCk2 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 i like the move on the A's part, hes a vet and can provide some good pitching in what is a pitchers park, nice sign by the A's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The Padres should have signed Loaiza. He would pitch great in that ballpark. Sucky on the road though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally sure how to read the numbers...but somehow I think you and I have to be looking at different numbers. In 2005, when I sort by "runs scored", McAfee is ranked 28th...and RFK is ranked 23rd. Coors field is naturally ranked first. By just that metric, the way I'm looking at the data...McAfee gave up fewer runs on average than RFK. I guess I have to be wrong somewher,e but I don't see where that comes out of the numbers I'm seeing at all.

Oakland had 1.2% more runs scored than the average park, and had almost 9% more HRs than the average park. RFK had 14% fewer runs scored, and 22% fewer HRs than the average park. I would say anything +/- 5% is about the norm. So Oakland's is fairly close to the norm, but Washingtons is definitely a Pitcher's park. I know this is unrelated, but it is suprising to see Fenway with a 0.974 HR ratio. Also, San Diego's HR ratio is horrible 0.691.

The data fields from ESPN got broken somewhere along the way....They were fine in '04, but got all fished up sometime in early '05. They haven't been right since. B-R lists the 2005 park factor (which unlike the ESPN stats isn't a straight %) for the coliseum as 103 and RFK at 93, with 100 being neutral.

That plus going back to the AL, I fully expect his era to be right around 5. Oakland is a pitchers park as well (stats be damned). I don't anticipate much change in the numbers as long as he's healthy. That said it seems like a lot, but compared to Eric Milton getting what he got last year (and Odalis Perez) this seems pretty on par with the market. I'd think Beane would have opted for something else, but he isn't paying him too much in the 1st two years of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
