by superk1ng on Jun 10, 2009 6:06 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I don’t think Burriss is going down, and if he’s to stay I think there’s only two possible ways..

- Aurilia DFA’d or traded.

- Torres DFA’d or traded. I don’t like this option but perhaps this is a final tryout for the kid, these few days of regular playing time.

I guess there could be a bigger trade but I doubt it.

Random ridiculous URL story

I once did temp work filing employee paperwork for a company in Chicago. I had to file employee discipline forms, among other things. One day, I filed a form employees who were becoming involved in a relationship with each other had to file. The next day, I filed a discipline for for one of those employees for visiting massive numbers of porn sites on his work computer. The URL that really stuck with me, though? dumpstersluts.com. CLASSY!

I have no problem with Torres being on the team and I understand that Doug Davis is a lefty, but he shouldn’t be getting more starts than Nate under any circumstances.

Actually, this is accurate.

Although, several players have whined about their batting order position with some results (Burriss wasn’t comfortable in the 2 hole, Lewis didn’t like batting lead-off, etc.). I’m not saying the results are necessarily positive. It just confirms that Bochy is pretty clueless.

And before anyone gives him credit for Rowand’s resurgence in the leadoff spot, that was Sabean’s idea.

Basically, OPS adjusted for the offensive context (ie, ballpark). How much above/below average. 100 is average, so with 103 (now probably down to 99-100), Uribe is 3% above average.

It just means the OPS is 3% above the average? Just think of it as > 100 = good and < 100 = bad. Though not always – middle infielder or a CF with a 90ish OPS+ can still be a good player.
