Harry Chappas Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Dec 30, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Do they focus only on defense? Because if they don't, Pierre might be there in a player coach (bunting, baserunning, etc.) I think it is like a football OTA. I think this is where Walker saw Rios take three swings and deemed him fixed. I like that so many guys are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if I was 21, I would totally go. $100 isn't bad for an open bar, 3-course meal, dessert, entertainment, and chance to mingle with Sox players/coaches.

chw42 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Ran through the CAIRO 0.3 projections today.

What does that give us? 92 wins? Maybe 93? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that give us? 92 wins? Maybe 93? I didn't even include either of them. CAIRO blows for projecting unknowns. Hell, I'd say it sucked at projecting even guys like Beckham. Soriano's probably a 1.5 win reliever. So it'd be 92 wins I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Paul Konerko has a real shot to join the 400 club this season. Adam Dunn has an outside chance. That would put them 47th all time. I don't know why that surprises me as much as it does, especially in Konerko's case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Did some more in-depth work. Combined CAIRO, Bill James, and Fan projections from FanGraphs together with my own defensive numbers (the ones CAIRO had didn't make much sense). PA number makes sense, playing time is divided out right, so if these are the 15 guys who are going to be coming in and out for the team this year, these projections should be somewhat accurate. These are not park adjusted though. Edited January 5, 2011 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazy thing is Paulie has an outside chance at passing Frank Thomas for the Sox all time number if he can average 30 homers over the three years of his deal, plus one extra homer.

I remember when Hawk said when Konerko still young that he would hit 50 homers. The closest he ever go was 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to take anything away from either one because I like them both but Frank was never really a "homerun" guy. He was more of a AVG and OBP guy for the most part. Konerko has only had a BA over .300 3 times in his career. Frank's career BA is .301. FWIW... Paulie has averaged about 32.5 homeruns per season in a Sox uni. Frank averaged 29.8.
