Around Baseball 2015 Edition

[yeezus]

Wood goes 5.1 innings today and gives up 3 runs and Jim Johnson gives up 2 more lol

1 strikeout.
But it was AJ's fault he wasn't striking anyone out!
I seriously cannot believe that was suggested non-facetiously.

Dodgers payroll is 307M with acquisition of Utley I think?

If true... that's insanity

 

[Heyward]

Looks like Utley to the Dodgers.

Amazes me a team with as unlimited funds as they do, havent addressed their bullpen which will be the downfall again if they hold off SF.

Marlon Byrd to San Fran

Marlon Byrd to San Fran

Was watching Pirates/Giants and either Costas or Kaat pointed out that Byrd has played for seven teams in four seasons.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Houston's Mike Fiers has pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers. What a season for the Astros.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Hopefully Swisher is a decent bench guy for next year.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I keep waiting for the Nats to kick it into gear and it's not happening.

Is Ian Kennedy a FA? I'd like to grab him this off season

Someone to consider. I like his strikeout and walk rates. But he is a fly ball pitcher who has benefited from pitching in a big ballpark the last two years.

Isn't he the Nick Markakis of starting pitchers? Eh... I would rather pass on him.

He's given up 26 HRs while pitching half his games in Petco, and has a 4.87 FIP. On top of that he's a flyball pitcher and our OF defense sucks. Why?

You mean he's an underrated veteran who will replace a fomer board favorite that was traded away in a deal most thought was terrible (Wood in this case).

I kid.

How bad can people view him if a 1.2 WAR is underated?

Was just looking at the strikeout rate... But good call on the other stats

 

[zbhargrove]

Heywood's a homer shy of the cycle.

 

[bravesnumberone]

What a great playoff race in the AL

 

[Dalyn]

Heywood's a homer shy of the cycle.

No power. Story of his disappointing career.

You would think the FO would love a guy with no power.
