You'd think this game would show Soth the value of Wood
What’s more likely to score off elite pitcher like Bedard. Him making one mistake and you getting a homerun, or a guy like Aybar getting 3 straight singles?
I think he’s one of those people who remember one specific thing someone does and conveniently forgets everything else. Once you impress him once, you’re in for life.
“Most regular position players will accumulate 3-5 WARP over a season. A legitimate All-Star-caliber player may have over 7 WARP. Over 10 WARP is a strong MVP candidate, while over 15 WARP is a “one-for-the-ages” season. On the flip side, a player with -1 WARP or less is probably in danger of disappearing from baseball."
WARP by the way is wins above replacement player. Assuming the Angels are around a 90 win team, they would win 65 games with anyone at first assuming of course that they can catch a baseball.
that Texas lost again to a winning team. they are now 5 – 10 against teams with a .500 winning percent or better. they say they are going to be the new powerhouse in the west?

TheTypingFiend - May 21, 2009
nope

agreed.
Saunders seems like the real deal. Now if you’d said Palmer… I would have also disagreed. But I’m horribly optimistic.
Jay Cal - May 21, 2009
he's 37-17 in his career, he is no longer a flash in the pan
tanana40 - May 21, 2009
You're right
Just like he’s already regressed so far this year. As we all know, predictions are more relevant than actual performance.

Ah mater, much later.....

Poor Q
tanana40 - May 21, 2009
What does Soth see in Q?
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
I think he’s one of those people who remember one specific thing someone does and conveniently forgets everything else. Once you impress him once, you’re in for life.
leftwing - May 21, 2009
why is Q still in the game
UCIHalo - May 21, 2009
You have an extra word in there, "still"
leftwing - May 21, 2009
Cause we just think that the next Brooks Robinson needs more time in AAA
Duh?
WillGoAngels27 - May 21, 2009
the Angels are an equal opportunity employer
everyone deserves abs even if they have a goofy swing and are past their prime which was never even that good to begin with
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
good call playing Q
that moved really worked out
UCIHalo - May 21, 2009
we're up 2 so far its working out
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
make that 3
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
at NO point does a guy going 0-3 with 3 k's from the DH spot mean
that it’s working out
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
well
a win is a win right? or are they qualified based on how well our hitters are?
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
of course a win is a win
but I could play 1B for the Angels and they’d still win 65 games. Q could not look any worse
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
thats a bit of an over shot
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
actually nope
“Most regular position players will accumulate 3-5 WARP over a season. A legitimate All-Star-caliber player may have over 7 WARP. Over 10 WARP is a strong MVP candidate, while over 15 WARP is a “one-for-the-ages” season. On the flip side, a player with -1 WARP or less is probably in danger of disappearing from baseball."
WARP by the way is wins above replacement player. Assuming the Angels are around a 90 win team, they would win 65 games with anyone at first assuming of course that they can catch a baseball.
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
so you can catch a baseball?
;p
all in all if the angels win with him in the line-up than who are we to complain (given its not an everyday occurrence)
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
because at the start of the game they had less of a chance of winning with him in it
MH252525 - May 21, 2009
right
thats why we play the game and not go by what the statistics say…
wallispdub1 - May 21, 2009
But he's a lefty killer!
leftwing - May 21, 2009
yeah he always sees at least 3 pitches
