May 2015 MLB Discussion

Lets start off May with a hell of a throw by this AAA catcher:

Craig Counsell was named the Brewers manager. I thought about throwing his name out as a possible replacement for Redmond earlier this year.

Wouldn't have gotten hurt if he didn't hustle to make that play and crash into the wall.

[thatnewguy]

The lesson here kids is don't hustle.

[Mainge]

I think the lesson is actually don't have dreads.

[MiamiHomer]

Andrew McCutchen sucks now that he cut off his dreads. He lost all his ability.

[Miamarlin21]

So Jared Weaver's fastball is only averaging 83.1 mph this season.

Cliff Floyd's rank on the All Time OPS list: 190th

Derek Jeter's: 282nd


Let that blow your mind for a while

Derek Lee's rank: 121st

not particularly surprising, especially with regards to Lee. He was really, really good.

helps that neither Lee nor Floyd stuck around for a particularly long decline phase during the non-steroids era, when offense was easier to come by. OPS+ paints a more flattering picture of Jeter, especially if you take out his final 162 games. 117 OPS+ for Jeter wihtout the final seasons, 119 for Floyd.

Lee was just a really, really good player.

Hanley Ramirez: 104th

132 OPS+

I think it would be very surprising to most baseball fans (the Lee stuff).

great with the glove, too, unless our new stats say he wasn't.
