greg775 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Please assess grades to every player you can think of. Please remember the last 2 weeks of the season count in the grading of a player. 1B - Paulie B (phenomenal first half can't be dismissed). 2B - Becks C. SS - Lexi C 3B - Youk C; Morel F LF - Viciedo B (do you realize he had almost the identical number of walks as Rios?) CF - DeAza B RF - Rios A- C - AJP A- DH - Dunn B Danks - INC Floyd - B- Sale - A Peavy - B Quintana - B, barely avoids B- Liriano - C, barely avoids C- Thornton - D Crain - B- Reed - A Veal - A- Lilly- D Hudson - C (didn't he have two walkoff singles? Or was it just one; change to C- if just one) Wise - C (tailed off badly at end) Flowers - B- Dan Johnson - B Danks brother - C (didn't he have a massive baserunning gaffe or two)? Robin Ventura - B. Cooper - C Manto - C Also grade yourself as a poster this season Greg - A (avoided suspension; finally proved to all that he may be wacky but he is not a troll) Edited October 6, 2012 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I'd change... AJ - B Thornton - B Crain - A Reed - B Floyd - C Konerko - C Santiago - B The only thing I know about coaches is that their roles are incredibly overrated.

klaus kinski Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Guys with career years AJ and Rios have to be A. Thornton a D is a good call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 6, 2012 -> 07:44 PM) Guys with career years AJ and Rios have to be A. Thornton a D is a good call If it was just about hitting, AJ would be an A, but there's 2 sides to the game. He had a better year defensively, so he wasn't awful, just bad.

The Ultimate Champion Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 BTW I give Flowers an A for looking like a Major League player this year. He had a lot of work to do & he did it. Now he deserves a shot at regular PT, if not here then elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Compared to what was expected of AJ Pierzynski this year, anything less than an A is completely wrong. The man played improved defense and had career highs in OPS and homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint it Black Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 1B - Paulie A: Got a lot more out of him than I expected 2B - Becks C. SS - Lexi C-: Disappointing power year, wasn't as good defensively this year, IMO 3B - Youk B-; Morel F LF - Viciedo C: Too many awful at bats, defensive liability. CF - DeAza B+: Team really suffered when he was not leading off RF - Rios A: Fantastic year. Played a good RF, hustled, great base runner. C - AJP B+: Great year but too many bad at bats down the stretch, defensive liability DH - Dunn A-: Part of his grade includes just bouncing back. Had some huge hits and played ok at first Danks - D: I'm going to grade him on how he pitched, albeit probably pitched hurt all season before his DL trip. Floyd - C: Meh, was awful for a long stretch. Sale - A Peavy - B+ Quintana - B+: Liriano - C Thornton - C+: Some good, some bad Crain - C+: Some good, some bad Reed - A- Veal - A- Lilly- D Hudson - D" Wise - C Flowers - B- Dan Johnson - D: I don't care about his 3 homers. He's a giant meh for me. Danks brother - C Robin Ventura - B. Cooper - B-: Coop needs to get credit for Quintana, the management of Sale and Peavy, and Veal Manto - INC: I just don't have a high regard for hitting coaches in general so out of fairness I'm not grading.

Quin Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I love that Greg gave himself an A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 What do you guys think of the fact Rios and Viciedo drew almost the exact same number of walks? Rios had 26 walks in 605 at bats; Viciedo 28 in 505 at bats and AJP 28 in 479 at bats? I didn't realize Rios doesn't take a walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
