thedoctor Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) 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.

hi8is Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 06:40 PM) But then we're stuck with no pitcher? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...that's how it works ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) 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 ) Edited July 31, 2010 by hi8is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 somewhat sox related from stark: If #Mariners trade Brandon League, doesn't look as if it's to #Rays. Hearing Tampa Bay unlikely to make another deal today. #trades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) 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.

chw42 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:53 PM) What is the FIP statistic? 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).
