they're not undead, though

I was on your side, until a someone explained to me at some length why it is not a zombie film.

Basically, because they’re ill rather than resurrected, they’re not zombies.

Or something.

It is a series that we could have easily swept instead it looks like we can get rolled.

By the way why no Garciaparra? I thought that he was supposed to be here to hit the lefties.

I would think Bedard would be one of the best left handed pitchers that we will face.

I sure would have liked Nomar up there a few innings ago when we had runners on base opposed to Chavez.

there's no way anybody could tell the difference between a .794 and .800 OPS hitter of the course of a season.

it’s essentially the same thing. And for the A’s, and third baseman .800 OPS would be only somethign to dream about.

That says less about Chavez and more about the lack of a solid 3B in the organization for the last several years.

you are correct.

poor point to make on my part. But still. It is ridiculous to say that Chavez hasn’t OPSed .800 since 2004 when he put up .794 and .786 lines in the seasons immediately following. It’s just using the number .800 as a completely arbitrary cut off.

All the same, i will agree with the premise that Chavez has been injured crap for a long time.

by Darryl P on Apr 12, 2009 3:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

My point wasn't really analytical.

I used a goofy stat that, while misleading, nevertheless does illustrate the general downward trend in Eric Chavez’s career.

is all I was getting at.

yea, i get what you were saying.

I was just surprised when you listed that stat, so i went to look it up and thought it was worth mentioning that he effectively did OPS .800 in ’05 and ’06.

by Darryl P on Apr 12, 2009 3:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

800's not that low for a 3rd baseman

Only six AL 3rd basemen OPS’d over .800 in 2008… A-Rod, Longoria, Blalock, Blake, Mora, Guillen.

If Chavez is close to 2006 form this season, we couldn’t do much better.
