Big series right here.

As for a site note. When I joined DRB, the site averaged 6k visits a month. We just broke the 100k barrier for the month of June and we average about 3-3.5k a day. It's been a long time coming, and I want to thank everyone who helped to spread the word about this little place.

can you see Maddon selecting him as their All Star? I’m thinking it’s him or Verlander.

I think:

Greinke (only Royal)
Halladay
Verlander
Hernandez (only Mariner)
Beckett
Braden (only A)

Those should be locks IMO

Weaver should make it if Hunter makes it
Lee shouldn’t make it since Vmart should be AS catcher

However past the locks I’d order it

Jackson
Lee
Shields
Weaver

I do think there is no way Sabathia should make it. Too many other pitchers with equal or better stats

by matthan on Jun 29, 2009 9:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Doubt...

Braden will make it with more losses than wins. Same with Lee. Maybe a Buehrle and Garza in contention with 10 wins by the break.

Boom. Outta Here.

by Ryan Gilliss on Jun 29, 2009 9:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maddon is a pretty unique guy

I wouldn’t be shocked if he puts in the best players (in terms of first half 09) rather than the guys with the best public stats. Braden has been the best A by a considerable margin IMO

by matthan on Jun 29, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Think it's more likely...

that it’s a Matt Holliday selection or a reliever (Wuertz). As unconventional as Maddon is, I don’t think anyone wants to spend the whole weekend hearing how stupid they are from the MSM for bring a starting pitcher with a losing record, and you know they would,

Boom. Outta Here.

by Ryan Gilliss on Jun 29, 2009 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Both should easily make it

No question about that. They’ve been tremendous. It is very hard to argue against both of them not being in the top 6 starters in the league.

by matthan on Jun 29, 2009 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Because its just not true

Unless you measure talent by some biased qualitative measure. Sonny has been a very good major leaguer. Shouldn’t his numbers speak for themselves?

It depends

by matthan on Jun 29, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Performance is by far and really the only thing that matters at this level. If performance doesn’t equal potential then something is broke along the coaching lines or with the pitcher himself.

i'll probably get bashed for this

But trading Neimann this offseason is equivalent to trading Delmon Young. Both players will have had their peak year their first year with the Rays in terms of trade value.

I think the scary part with Neimann is he has been really consistent this year

If he can improve slightly while keeping the consistency he could be really good. But if he doesn’t then he is just going to go out there and give you a 4-6 FIP every game. Hard to complain, but unless you have a good offense it isn’t going to translate well

I think Neimann will be a #4 or #5

However he’ll end up with the mainstream stats of a #2 or #3 due to our offense and defense. Someone will be willing to overpay

Understood.

I just wonder if any team will truly “overpay”. Some will see his averageness, others will have reservations due to his injury history.

by RATW on Jun 29, 2009 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I guess it depends how you define overpay

I’m kind of assuming teams are properly valuing his injury risk so that is already built in.

Avoid looking at runs when you talk about quality starts.

No we don't

I do think if we were able to somehow showcase a pitcher for 10+ starts such as a Neimann, Talbot etc every year we would be able to boost their value enough to get a really good return on them at the deadline. Of course this team really doesn’t have many holes, but I’d love to be able to do something like every year to buy a Type A guy to push us over the top and then get the picks.

Neimann + Navi for Vmart type trade. We get him this year and next (if we want to exercise the option). Obviously Sonny takes Neimanns spot and we would easily be the favorites to win it all this year
