But then we're stuck with no pitcher?

 

i'd imagine they'd tried to ham and egg it through the end of the season.

 

i don't think the torres story in the trib today was any coincidence.

There would have to be another deal in place - ala Myers.

Or they're content throwing fodder out there until they find a 5th on the waiver wire.

jackson for dunn is still a possibility. but nationals want #chisox to add another player or 2

 

 

Ok.....so add another player or two who are not good players.....No Flowers, Morel, Viciedo, Mitchell, or Thompson.

 

Yeah...that's how it works ...

JimBowdenXMFOX Nats might be getting closer to Dunn deal.....stay tuned.....looking like Tigers are "out".....so has to be CWS or TB....my bet would be CWS

 

Looking like Rizzo might have been using KW as a pawn to drive up Dunn's price to other potential suitors.

Wouldn't doubt it if he always has had the intention of taking Jackson + prospects... but has just been trying to shoot for the stars ( ala Garza ).

 

Still think he is a ****sucker ( that is cock... not tit or boobie )

The Garza stuff was out there before he threw a no hitter. So I would say that Rizzo is serious about raiding a team.

I don't care when it took place, Matt Garza for Adam Dunn is flatout stupid.

What is the FIP statistic?

A calculated prediction of what his ERA would be based on how many walks he gives up, balls are put in play, balls are hit in the air, etc.

 

If his FIP is above his ERA, that's generally a single you expect his ERA to go upwards if he repeats the same performance.

Fielding Independent Pitching.

 

Formula - ((HR * 13) + ((NIBB + HBP) * 3) - (K * 2))/Innings pitched + 3.2

 

It measures all the things a pitcher can control and it is a very good indicator of future success (xFIP more so).

Oh, and it means "Fielding Independent Pitching".

Any idea how one gets a job working for a MLB club - working for the white sox front office for my entire life makes me want to... uh... smile.

First step...acquire a deep understanding of what FIP is.
