Just an addendum to the arguments about Ryan and Henderson.

It seems like most of the Pro-Ryan people mention his 5000+ strikeouts.

My question: What about his career leading walks?

Well, Jeff, Glenn just got put on the 15-day DL retroactive to 4/7.  Looks

Cleveland's bullpen looks like this...

Brad Arnsberg, Derek Lilliquist, Steve Olin, Ted Power, Rod (Reid?) Nichols,

Hope this helped.

I was just pointing out that Eck and Maris have about the same chance of making
the HOF.  Can't really compare the two at all.  To do so would be so ludicrous,
I could not even begin to thing about its ramifications.

BTW, has anybody else heard that new ad for Arby's on the radio for their new

I would tell you that I haven't reached any conclusion because you haven't
given me enough data to go on.  However, this doesn't mean that errors are
meaningless in reaching any conclusion.   Give me more numbers and I will use
errors, along with the other stats you have given me, to reach my conclusion.
Like how many innings did both players play at the position and how many
percieved chances did each have.  By perceived I mean balls hit to them that
would be reached by an average 2b.

Nothing in your example proves errors are meaningless.  If you wish to say
errors, by themselves as a stat, are meaningless, then I might agree with you.
But if you are going to tell that errors, taken as a small part of the whole
picture, are meaningless then we have an argument.

And if you are going to tell me that you base this opinion on observation, then
I will tell you that your observation is at best subjective and does
not prove anything.  Your observation carries about as much validity to the
argument as my observations.  So unless you wish to give validity to all
observations, lets keep the argument statistically driven.

The NL East is all but clinched by the NY Mets.  They are so dominating
that they will clinch the division by the All-Star Break-which won't even be

People around campus thought I was insane to say that
I thought the Yankees would finish over .500.  I
said that if their pitching held up, they could be a force.
I know it is too early to tell, but so far, so good.
Their offense can pretty much rival anyones.
My finger are crossed tonight, though, because
their perfect record is in the hands of Greg Cadaret.

Time to play GM, Felix Jose went on the 15 day DL yesterday, and of course
Geronimo Pena is out a few months with the broken collarbone. I guess Tim
Jones and Alicea get 2b by default, but what about 1b, LF and Rf? Perry
replaced Andres last night, but I'm not too high on him. I'd move Pedro
back to 1b, keep Thompson in Lf and call up Brian Jordan and give him LF
for short run so you can get a close look at him against major league 
pitching. jordan is very mad at St. Louis for not paying him major league
money, and is talking about quitting baseball if he stays with the Card
organization(I'm sure he's just getting leverage). Why not give him a crack
for a short time? HE can't be much worse than Gilkey or Hudler, and if he's
really the prospect they keep telling us, he might just play well enough to
convince himself the future in baseball is better than in football.

2 games in and we already lost 3 starters and 2 of our so called "power
hitters"!

To win a batting title, you have to outhit *everyone* in the League.  Gwynn
has outbatted Clark for each of Clark's six years in the majors.  1989
was the only year Clark contended for the batting title, and that was a
stretch.

As for HR, he *doesn't* have as good a shot as anyone.  There are a
number of National Leaguers who consistently hit more home runs, and
it will be a stretch for Clark to have much more than 30, whereas
McGriff has more home runs than Clark in each of the last four years, and
HoJo's beaten him for three years straight.

.307 doesn't win batting titles anymore.  And the .307 *was* a reach for
him, he's a .270 hitter.  Over the last two years, Thomas has outhit
Boggs.  It wouldn't be a stretch for him to TC once Fielder's stats
drop.  Griffey needs more power still, but both FT and Ken are young
and improving.  Canseco and Clark are already at their peak and aren't going
to get much better.

>However, I think
>that as long as Wade Boggs is in the league, it will be very hard for anyone

I don't see Boggs winning more than one or two more batting titles.  
Especially if he leaves Fenway.  Sierra's another player that doesn't
hit enough home runs to win a batting title.  Thirty would be a stretch
for Sierra, much less leading the league.

>injury last season?

His fastball doesn't have as much movement on it, but his location has been
pretty good.  He's done OK so far, with 1 good start and 1 bad start against
those mighty Rangers...

April 6th, 1992: BLue Jays vs Tigers -- opening day.

Well, today's game pitted world series hero, free agent multi-millionaire
Jack Morris vs 20-game winner Bill Gullickson.

The Jays started off in fine fashion.
First inning: Devon White grounds out, but is followed up by Robbie Alomar
getting a double (1st Jay's hit of the season).  Carter hits a deep fly that
allows Robbie to advance to 3rd.  Dave Winfield follows up and hits a single
for the Jays first RBI of the season (Dave's first as a Jay as well).  Prior
to the game, Winfield said he was feeling about 85% but wanted to play, and
Cito agreed with him.  Dave hasn't played in a spring training game for the
past two weeks.

Tiger's half of the first: Morris pitches a 1-2-3 inning starting off the
season on a good note.

Jays second: Olerud doubles and later on Manuel Lee walks (!) on 4 pitches.
Well, I guess Gullickson found Manuel's weak spot for walks.  Jays go away
empty handed though.

Tigers second: Fielder leads off the inning with a walk.  Tettleton follows
that with a single (Fielder to second),  then Tony Phillips strikes out, and
Rob Deer follows with a strikeout of his own.  A little nubber by Travis
Fryman makes Morris pull Olerud off the bag...safe at all three bases.  Morris
bears down and strikes out Milt Cuyler...dodging a bullet.

Pat Borders hits a home run in the 4th after Lulu (or whoever) the Kissing
Bandit startles him and finally hugs him.  Lulu want to come to Toronto. :-)
By the way, Pat didn't hit a home run before the All-Star break last season.

John Olerud (who just missed a homer in the second) hits one in the sixth.
Gullickson finishes the sixth but that's all for him.  Jays lead 3-0.

Morris continues on finishing the seventh with the score still 3-0.

Top of the 8th, and Derek Bell gets a RBI (his second in the majors I believe)
and puts the Jays up 4-0.

Now, we get to the bottom of the ninth and Cito lets Morris continue pitching.
Lead off hitter is Cecil Fielder...BOOM...long fly ball, and it's outta here!
OK, Morris stays and gets two outs and Rob Deer is up...3 strikeouts so far
today.  Morris gets the count to 2-2 or 3-2, and then...going, Going, GONE!
Quickly the score is 4-2.   Cito stays with Morris and Morris gets the final
out and completes the game.

Winfield goes 3 for 4.  Not bad for a guy feeling 85%.

Final score: Blue Jays 4 Tigers 2
