Just thought I'd mention a play in last nights Twins-Rangers game that I  
thought was pretty cool.

Jarvis Brown was on first base as a pinch runner.  Someone (can't remember  
who)  hit a fly ball to fairly deep center field.  As John "The Cannon"  
Cangeglosi (sp?) made the catch, Brown tagged up from first and was safe  
at second.  The next batter, Greg Gagne, then singled and scored Brown.

It's not too often you see a guy tag up from first to second.

A no-no is pretty exciting, but I've never seen anything as exciting as last
year's perfect game pitched by Dennis Martinez.  A no-hitter is exciting,
but for a perfect game, you get nervous when there's 3 balls on a batter too!

BTW, I really think Dennis Martinez should've won the Cy Young last year.
I know he only had 14 wins, but if you only went by wins, Bill Gullickson
should've won it in the AL.  Martinez had an ERA about 2.39 or something
amazing like that, PLUS a perfect game.  And don't forget, he won those
14 games on a last-place team!  WE WUZ ROBBED   (IMcorrectO)  :-)

Well, it depends, first of all, on how you define MUCH (as opposed to much).
I'm basically implying that Sorrento's OPS this year will probably be about
75 points higher than Jefferson's.

Age doesn't really matter in this case.  Sure, Jefferson might be better in
a few years, but I'm talking about right now.

Chattanooga is a slight pitchers' park in a hitters' league.  His MLE for 1989,
his only real full season recently, is .257/.303/.387.  Certainly good numbers
for a 21 year old, but not quite eye popping stuff when you consider the fact 
that he's a first baseman.

STATS projections for the two aren't that close.  Sorrento projects to a .278/
.366/.493; Jefferson projects to a .267/.314/.381.  These projections are
totally unfair to Jefferson, of course - Sorrento is projected in the Metrodome
while Jefferson is projected in last year's Municipal.

But based on Jefferson's career so far, I don't think my expected 75 point OPS
difference for this year is unfair at all.

Griffey the best CF ever??
Not a chance in hell.
He is only debateably going to be the best of his generation if he does as
well as he has so far.  He will never be seen as better than even DiMaggio
let alone Mantle, Mays, Speaker, Cobb(I think he played CF).

Ripken's shot is not real decent either if you count real old timers but 
is alot better than Griffey's.

Hey, Jeff what stat are you using to compare a pitcher (Ryan) to
a hitter (Henderson)?

"Twice as good," yeah whatever....Ryan's thrown 7 no-hitters, or
about nearly twice as many as the next best pitcher...when Henderson

  	Well, the season has just started and I would like to make a few
comments.  First, I would like to heartily thank Larry Himes, the Cubs
GM for making a great trade, in my opinion, to help the White Sox.  People
can say what they wish, but by getting George Bell for Sammy Sosa and Ken
Patterson, I think the White Sox seriously ripped the Cubs off. Second, I
just want to go on record saying that the White Sox are going to win the
division this year, and probably the World Series. This is their year.
	Also, I need the help of some Montreal Expos fans.  What do you
think of Larry Walker?  He was on my Roto team last year, and I am not
sure if I should keep him.  Is he going to hit all year like he did the
second half of last season?  Thanks for your help.

I was pretty surprised to see the length of the outings by pitchers in the
Opening Day games.  Only three out of fourteen starters in the games with box
scores in the LA Times went less than seven innings.  Is anyone else surprised
by this?  If not, perhaps someone can explain it.  (Please don't explain to me
why Ramon didn't go seven for LA--I heard the game myself.  Maybe Pedro will be

Don't just say that they're on an independent station (WGN, SportsChannel

In 1984, five years after his last 2.99 ERA in Fenway, Eckersly had a
3.60 ERA for a season split between Fenway and Wrigley Field.  He was
a substantial reason why the Cubs made the playoffs.  In 1985, Eck had
a 3.08 ERA, despite injuries.  His 1986 was poor for the Cubs, and he
was shifted to the bullpen for the A's in 1987.

I see his career as:
1975-77 good
1978-79 excellent
1980-82 average
1983-early 84 poor

If a run scored is a run allowed, and defense includes pitching,
if everyone on the team can hit a line drive every time up, the
defense (the pitching) is no good.

If everyone on team A can hit a line drive every time up, and if
the pitcher and fielders on team B can cause everyone they're
facing to make a put-out every time up, then we have a case
of irresistable force and immotile object.

Hi there,
  
  I'm a roto owner.  I and a friend have generated 2 lists of NL
players (some minor league players as well).  We've found it very useful.  
We're offering them to the nets.

  There'll be four posts:
1) This note.
2) NL batters (about 250)
3) NL pitchers (about 250)
4) 3 ms-dos batch files to sort and format the data.

the bat files to make the lists are all.bat, make.bat and pos.bat.  

off.* = batter's files
pit.* = pitchers files

-also-

owners.all = pitchers and batters sorted by roto owner (our league)
teams.all = pitchers and batters sorted by team

  All posts (including this one) will have '1991 NL STATS x of 4' in the 
subject line.  

  Disclaimer: I will not swear that all the information here is
absolutely accurate, it's the best we could do.  When we didn't know a
player's stats, we supplied zero's.  Take it or leave it, but no
flames please.  It's probably worth what you payed for it.  If someone
finds it useful, we'll be glad.  

  If someone feels this is worth the trouble to archive somewhere,
please go ahead with our blessings.  Please do not mail me requests
for the files after they've been posted, I do not have the time.

PS: I payed too much for George Bell anyway.  Sniff.
