asked this in other thread as well
To anyone who has been to Shea: I’m going to New York next week and was thinking about going to see Shea Stadium. I was wondering if it was worth seeing before it is torn down. The pitching matchup is Lincecum vs. Santana so that could be a factor…

That pitching matchup sounds like its worth going. I've never been to Shea, but those two would be fun to watch in any ballpark.

Theriot was a late scratch. Len and Bob speculate it is due to his bruised right hand.

Marquis is really his own worst enemy.
His head is a screwy as Zambrano used to be (may still be). He is also terrified of throwing strikes.

But even if he flips the ball, you’re not assured a double play.

Well
not making the double play was assured when he took three steps with the ball in his glove.
Fontenot may or may not have made it to the bag, but ideally he is there on time to make the turn. I put that one on Fontenot

I just don’t understand some of you all’s man-crush on Cedeno. Is it that people think he’s good, or just better than Theriot? I think I’ll trust Lou to lead us to the best record we’ve had in like 70 years, and he thinks Theriot is better fit.
by soonerbered on Jul 1, 2008 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just better than Theriot.
I think Cedeno’s ceiling at this point is utility infielder, with a possibility of being an adequate starter.

RC has a .252 avg in 815 AB’s. RT has a .287 avg in 981 AB’s.
I know RT doesn’t hit for power, but not everyone on the team has to hit for power. And again, I’ll trust Lou.

If you go ahead and look over my body of work...
...you’ll find this opinion to be pretty consistant. I use OPS or OBP/SLG in casual conversation, Linear Weights for when I’m doing research. For fielding I use Zone Rating. Add a positional adjustent and it’s called Wins Above Replacement. (I also have my own baserunning stat based on PBP data, if you’re curious.)

Question: Why are you wasting all this brillant player analysis on us? Why don’t you work for a club?
by soonerbered on Jul 1, 2008 10:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because I like the Cubs and find it fun to hang out here.
If you don’t like my conclusions or don’t agree with them, that’s fine. I like to think my work stands for itself as close to professional-grade analysis; I’ve had conversations with people who do consulting work for MLB clubs and they sometimes get to talking above my head – stuff like ANOVA escapes me right now.
So, I do it because it’s fun and it’s a hobby. If you don’t care for what I do, that’s fine. But I really don’t like it when people question my integrity baselessly.

No, and to be frank I don't know that it matters.
Fielding percentage is a poor way of measuring defense. The best minor league defensive numbers I’m aware of are Dan Fox’s Simple Fielding Runs; he works for the Pirates now, sadly, so no chance of getting 2008 numbers. But I think he was around a -5 in 2007, not great but not terrible.

than a 3B. Therefore, I would put my better defensive 2B at 2B.

Fontenot is a passable defensive second baseman.
This is probably our best defensive alignment with the current personel. Asking Lou to do otherwise is asking him to put his team in a worse position to win this ballgame.
