Nerds only here, folks. #STATSIN #RJOUT

Had to start this because of the abortion that is the Trout argument.

Want to pull this over, though:

Not to distract from Trout talk, but I thought this was a pretty interesting article on Chris Archer:

Rays' Archer on mission for self-discovery



I think I'm a Chris Archer fan now.

Yeah, Archer's a BOSS. Carolina boy too. He's a phenomenal athlete (may be as fast as Deezy), and he's a righteous dude. Gotta think that bodes well for him reaching his potential.

Similarly, the Rays pitching depth is still awesome:

MLB
Price
Helly
Moore
Cobb (who looked awesome yesterday)
Niemann
Roberto Hernandez

AAA
Archer
Odorizzi
Colome
Torres (who is looking he might be bouncing back after a horrendous year last year)

AA
Mike Montgomery
Nick Barnese
Jake Thompson
Enny Romero
Albert Suarez
Wilking Rodriguez
Grayson Garvin

And there's more depth below this led by Guerrieri.
 
Sportsbook.com posted their MLB HRs odds up today. O/U for single player with most homeruns is 42.5, lowest since 1996.

I'm pretty tempted to take Rizzo at 100/1. Most projections have him around 30 home runs, meaning he should be around 30/1.

No others really jumped out at me.
 
Not having to face the Angles pitchers should make that a decent bet. The problem of course is injuries.
 
He may also be distracted by the COLOSSAL error his GM just made, amirite, rj?
 
Was checking out China's WBC roster over the weekend and noticed they've got Chien-Ming Wang and a Ching-Ming Wang.
 
Dang, Phan keeps changing his aviator to ex-Cubs - I feel honored.

Also, Rizzo at 30-1 isn't a bad bet - I don't see him getting to 40, but there is a chance - he hit 38 combined in AAA/Bigs last year in roughly 600 ABs.

Just to be clear, he is currently sitting at 100/1 odds. Was just saying based off the other predictors and odds, I feel he should be at 30/1.
 
Wanna listen to Tigs-Stros again just cause I love hearing about all the randos the Stros bring to each game with droopy eyes and that "put me in coach!" look.

However, Carrasco, McAllister, and Bauer are supposed to go 3 innings today in Cle-Chi, so I may do that instead.
 
Regarding the bunting thing in the other thread, this is the article that I always like to look at. It really belongs in this thread instead of the other one where the discussion takes place. It's extremely mathy and does a good job of covering all their bases I think.

Empirical Analysis of Bunting
 
that's a great one. used to read that site religiously in that time period until 08 or 09. not sure why i stopped. i think most of my baseball reading declined in that period, though, as i actually started working at work.
 
why would you link that? jesus christ, now we have to hear rj act like a dumbass.
