Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Well thank you, Ace. It's nice to see somebody appreciates me. Instead of taking constant shots at me (Shack and to a lesser extent SS2K5). I hope to improve on my current status. I want to evolve into something supernatural. And you were too kind on qwerty. He deserves a G -----. F is too good for him. That dude is intelligent as hell and he posts once every 3 weeks? Garbage.

BigEdWalsh Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Morel has gotten a lot of D's. I think that's kinda harsh considering how solid he's been with the glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:56 PM) Morel has gotten a lot of D's. I think that's kinda harsh considering how solid he's been with the glove. I don't care if he's Evan Longoria on defense. Fact of the matter is, I'd rather see Pierre at the plate than Morel right now. Morel's lack of power, lack of patience, and his .250 batting average makes a really really bad offensive player. What's with all the As for Brian Bruney? This board was yelling DFA 2 weeks ago when his name came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Overall record, he gets at least an A-. He's the best ERA-wise of any reliever on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 16 innings of work... His ERA two weeks ago was 5 something. I personally don't like to use ERA for relievers, but I wouldn't even think much of it if it was in just 16 innings of work. Unless it was above 7. That just means you're terrible. Outside of ERA, nothing says Brian Bruney is a good reliever deserving of an A.

Outside of ERA, nothing says Brian Bruney is a good reliever deserving of an A. When you're expected to be Randy Williams and you actually come in and give the team a good few innings you're going to get a good grade. That's the "wow, this middle school kid pulled a 61 in advanced vector calculus, we ought to give him a better grade than a straight D, he's 14" level.

winninguglyin83 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:20 AM) Just who posted here.. hi8is - C- (posting more, which I like, but getting married severely brings the grade down from a B-) fathom- B (not posting as much as in years past, though some of that is because of the baby, but still one of my personal favorite posters) J4L- A- (incredible year as far as getting into certain ST poster's skin, but with actual facts to back them up as well as post count. Another favorite poster of mine. Should be at the top of the soxtalk poster of year awards for 2011) The Ginger Kid- C (very underrated poster. Doesn't stand out like the others here, but doesn't kill the I.Q. of the site like others do either) FlySox87- N/A (still a rookie) Swingandalongonetoleft- C- (only post when necessarily, which is good. Still another down year from what his potential should truly be for ST.) jeffro2525- N/A (don't know enough about this poster to give a grade) South Side Fireworks Man- C- (same reason as Swingandalongonetoleft) chisoxt- C (same as Swingandalongonetoleft and South Side Fireworks Man, though IMO, he has far better potential with his post, so I gave him a touch higher grade) oldsox- N/A (same as jeffro2525) qwerty- D (absolutely a pathetic year for one of ST's best posters. Went from crushing every poster with ridiculously witty post, to absolutely crushing posters with ridiculously witty pics. Good stuff, but leave that for the ill-informed. He will get the Derek Jeter treatment with the ST awards though, as well as Kalapse) OilCan- B- (though has a low post count, his post actually stand out alot with solid reasoning. Pretty good year for him. Might be a Phil Humber fluke, but this is the "what have you done for me lately" world) GreenSox- N/A (" ") pittshoganerkoff- B- (actually the same reasoning as OilCan) greg775- C (I was actually back and forth with Greg's grade, so I put him in the middle. Not the optimistic senile he's been in year's past, and now has alot of pessimistic post... but are senile. He pisses off alot of posters for alot of reasons to name, but he mush be doing something right and a poster or two have admitted he was their favorite. Is also a regular here, so that helps balance it all out. All in all, one of those posters who you either hate him or love him) chw42- A- (just exploded into the scene this year. Though not a favorite poster of mine [yet] I'll admit, but I love his saber-love post, and is very knowledgeable here. Has future mod potential. Another guy who could be a dark horse for the ST poster of the year, and yes.. I hate those ST awards as you know) Baron- N/A (still a rookie) winninguglyin83- C (great poster on ST for many years, but just has you wanting more in posts. One of those toolsy posters who should be better than what he is, but is solid all around so he gets the solid grade) BigEdWalsh- B- (the old man just keeps on trucking. Has had a much better year than in years past, hence the higher grade) elrockinMT- C (has actually had a very good year in posting, but isn't standing out as much in those post whether that is good or bad. Fits more in the greg mode for me, but not with the same ability to agitate, but more consistent in pessimism over the years, not a flip-flopper) The other posters haven't posted yet so there you go. Thanks for making me laugh during a season that has made me cry -- and scream waiting for somebody to wake up and fix this annoying team. I'll try to have a better second half.
