qwerty Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Baseball prospectus always has their stat of the day and he manages to get on there once a week for something... which of course is not good. Amuses me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be champion whipping boy until replaced. I doubt anyone ever comes close to Timo(though had the Sox signed Jose Macias, you would see the king in flesh and blood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rventura23 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 timo had some clutch hits and a good attitude, although I admit that I cringed when he came up to the plate and referred to him as T-schmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if he hits .220 in 200 at bats or so...there's going to be a few more than 1 ball landing very very far from homeplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Somebody fill me in....what the hell does that mean?!? Lead the league in game winning hits on days that started with the letter "S"....in months with 31 days that ended on Monday or Tuesday and had only seven at-bats in which he put a 2-0 pitch into play. What the hell's a VORP...is it like a VERP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe that they both made a million a piece and on the other side of town, Jose Macias also made a million and Neifi Perez made $2.5 million. I think I'm going to adopt a Dominican kid to be my son and groom him to be a crappy middle infielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Value over replacement player. Basically a stat adjusted for league and park (but not position) that measures a player's worth relative to a "replacement player", which is basically just a AAA+ player. A pretty cool stat I think.
