"I'm a little uncomfortable saying anything more than that,'' Shelley tells me. "What I can say is that analysis in baseball has gotten so sophisticated and it's changing all the time. I read, read, read - every baseball web site, every publication, everything.So Grant, Xanthan/Chris, everyone, keep up the good work, and know that someone within the Giants is reading what you write here.

Cmon, who wouldn't?
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Maybe now Sabean will have to start listening to him, since the backlash in SF would be too much.

Can we assume he’s a Romosexual?

Don’t tempt me. On the Ramirez thread, when someone said Frandsen was in the YESYESYESYESOMGYES camp, I was going to make the “thinking” joke.

is he the same Shelley who left the Buzzcocks and had a hit in the eighties called “Romosapien??”

I’d love to know how they do their player evaluations, and how their projection systems differ from the mainstream ones.

giants metrics
If the player is in his thirties, past his prime, overpriced, and has showed years of mediocrity, he will be high on the giants’ free agent wish list. Low obp even in the presence of a high BA is crucially important. The exception being Bonds.
