I'm going to say reliever. Eventually, we'll get Yordan and Brantley back. Between Yuli and Diaz, we should get something useful out of 1B

Brought my son to the game, got here before gates so he could get the Orbit beanie baby giveaway. We are in the 100s, so he wanted to bring a ball to try to get some autographs. Kid hustled his way to Christian Javier and LMJ.

Not sure I've ever seen a pop up that high at MMP that didn't get caught (not counting errors)

He had it just in case, but each player actually had their own to use. So no real choice there.

Gotta get a pitcher over a position player. Outs are so, so hard to come by in the playoffs, as we all remember last year and every other year. Pulling in another guy you can send out with confidence to get a 1-2-3 6th or 7th inning is lightning in a bottle and you have to go after it if it's out there.

For as terrible as Yuli had been all year, it's cool to see he is 4th in the AL in doubles.

Yuli's Cuban league numbers are worth a look!

Next time Robert Ford takes a break, maybe we can get the AAA team's radio guy instead. This guy from The Hooks is not bad…he's just not good.

Can someone help me understand WAR?

Correa: 69 GP - .282/.357/.455, 11HR, 2.18 WAR
Pena: 69 GP - .260/.307/.442, 12 HR, 3.04 WAR

This is not a "We should have kept Correa" post, b/c clearly Pena is more than holding his own. Does contract factor into WAR?

It's crazy how close they have been to each other, all year...and only one of them is a rookie!


Here is a great video explaining it.


The biggest advantage for Pena is that he's been superior than Correa on D this year.

No fielding % is pretty useless with so much judgement on what an error is and isn't.

bWAR uses DRS

Quote:
Fielding Runs: Defensive Runs Saved

Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) is the most sophisticated public system available. It includes 8 factors:

Fielding Range Plus/Minus Runs Saved based on BIS-trained scorer observations and batted ball timing to determine the velocity of each batted ball.
Outfield arm runs saved based on exact counts of baserunner advancements and kills and the velocity of the hit ball.
Infielder double plays based on opportunities and rates they were turned based also on batted ball velocity.
Good play-bad play values which include 28 positive play types. For example: HR-saving catches, backing up a play, blocking a pitch in the dirt, and 54 misplays like missing the cutoff man, failing to anticipate the wall and allowing extra bases, not covering a base, pulling a foot off the bag, etc...
Bunt Fielding
Catcher SB/CS data (which is tweaked by the pitchers caught)
Pitcher SB/CS data (which is tweaked by the catchers behind the plate)
Catcher handling of the pitching staff via things like pitch framing and pitch calling
See the Fielding Bible Volume III for a full run-down of the system.
