Having watched the Expos sweep the Mets at Shea this past weekend,
I must admit that I too am on the bandwagon (only 156 games more
to go :-) ).  The Expos have improved this year in _every_ respect
except (and this scares me), defence.  Hopefully, Barberie will
settle in at third.  He made two errors in today's game giving him
three or four for the year thus far.

One of the most important (and untalked about) improvements of the
Expos this year is the bench.  This is the first year in a while
that I am able to relax when a starting position player is given
a day off.

BTW, speaking of poor defence, this IMHO will be the
downfall of the Mets this year.  They looked TERRIBLE in 
the field this weekend.

Boston area last year and I miss tv 38 and NESN's coverage of the 
Sox.  The papers down here don't know what the American league is

        Do you really think Coleman's success rate of stealing 3rd could be
as high as that?  Intuitively (that's what people say when they don't have the

Yes.  

On the other hand, what can you say of Cleveland, who let go of him
after three years in order to hold onto the immortal Tom Veryzer?

btw, acquiring Griffin turned Toronto from a 59-game winner into a
53-game winner.  Then 57, 57 (projected from stike-year pct.), 78, 89,
89.  The last year was 1984.  Then they traded him and won three
division titles in seven years, and came within a game of a fourth.

They didn't improve because of Griffin.  They became winners by adding
Upshaw, Barfield, Mulliniks, Cliff Johnson, and -- Tony Fernandez. 

Oakland, too, got rid of Griffin, and won three pennants -- IN A ROW.
LA won one pennant in his four years there: the year they only played
him part-time.  

Tell me again about the "success..."

>  No, I think the problem might be found in your one-dimensional
>analysis of a player's worth.

He can't hit for power.  He can't hit for average.  He can't walk.  He
fields adequately at best.  His only adequate year at the plate was in
the 1970's.  That's FIVE dimensions right there: four skills and his
age.  I bet he can't pitch very well, either, over the long haul.

>Alfredo Griffin is reported to be a really nice guy, a positive influence
>on the bench, in the clubhouse and on the field - if not at the plate.

Bench and clubhouse, fine.  Field -- perhaps he's better than most
Dodger fielders; I mean, we're talking about the Bill Russell Memorial
Infield, here.  But think how much MORE effective he'd be if they didn't
play him at all, and he didn't screw up so many innings with his
ineptitude at the plate, and just spread his niceness all over the
clubhouse and let somebody else on the roster.  He's so nice the Dodgers
unhitched him the moment Offerman was ready.

>Making him the butt of your little statistical jokes shows a complete
>lack of respect for a man who commands a lot more respect from his peers
>than Tony Fernandez.  Ask the players if he made a "measurable" contribution.

Tell me about 1987 again.  Fernandez' injury cost them the pennant.
Would Griffin have helped?  Would they have been CLOSE to a pennant iwth
Griffin in there?  How many players said, "gee, if we only still had
Griffin."  

And tell me: which of his peers are you talking about?  Which ones do
you know ?  Which ones have you talked to?  

Or do you just read what the sportswriters, who are basically paid to be
boosters, write in the Toronto papers?

Not to pick too many nits, but Elias has nothing to do with rulesmaking. They
are the *statisticians* for MLB, the NBA and NFL, in addition to various media
outlets. They also produce r.s.bb's favorite annual. :-)

As a former employee at Elias, I felt I had to defend them from this attack. 
They take enough abuse from this board as it is when they deserve it (notably
the sudden embrace of predicting future stats).

FWIW, I think the rule regarding no-no's needs to be modified so that Perez-
style no-hitters can still be disregarded but hawkins/Young efforts noted.

A few?  How's about thirteen?  'Cause he's been averaging less than six

There are two MLB teams that bear the nick-name Sox.  I am generally
only interested in threads concerning one of them.  Lately people have
been posting threads that say Sox but don't say which one.  If it is not

This would be easily for me.

Do you have any more details about that team?  Such as how the three of
them did, how well Bobby pitched (reliever or starter?) and hit, who was
considered the best prospect, etc.  Any info would be appreciated.  

I thought that having Thigpen batting between Clark and Palmeiro is
really interesting.  Too bad he's not a starter in the NL, maybe he
would've been a decent hitter.

I'd move Biggio back to C to maximize the offense.
 
>1B: Will Clark       (hon mention, my 2nd favorite player Fred McGriff!)
 
I'll take McGriff, but this one's *very* close.  BTW, Bagwell is coming
on strong.
 
>2B: Ryno
>SS: Barry Larkin
>3B: Howard Johnson   (I know he doesn't play there anymore, but it makes this

Someone mentioned Sabo; he's my choice.
 
>LF: Barry Bonds
>CF: Van Slyke        (I guess, maybe Butler)
>RF: Bonilla, Strawberry or Justice (maybe even Gwynn)
 
I'd want Bonds, Dykstra, and Bonilla (Justice and Strawberry would top
Bonilla if they played 10 more games than STATS projects them for --
146 and 148 respectively.).

Maybe the way you've presented it, but give each team a 10-man pitching
staff and the NL will do just fine thank you.

1). .424 - ROGERS HORNSBY'S batting AVG. in 1922 - highest in modern ball.
2). 2.17 - Walter Johnson's lifetime ERA - lowest in modern ball.
3). 56   - Mr. Coffee's brewing er hitting streak - longest in pro ball.
           He has the minor league record of 63 for the S.F. Seals.
4). 57   - Orel's shutout inning streak - longest ever. He beat Drysdale
           by one inning.
5). 61*  - In 61 by Maris, note the astrix......Ruth fan.
6). 190  - 56-190-.356 in 1930 with juice balls - Cubs Hack Wilson.
7). 511  - Most career wins, owned by Denton True Young.
           20 wins a year for 25 years still won't make it.
8). 755  - Most career dingers by Hammerin' Hank
           30 taters a year for 20 years won't come close.
9). 5511 - Tough one, career strikeout record? by the Ryan Express.
10). 7   - The number of dollars in the Indians payroll, or maybe the
           the number of times they haven't been in last place or maybe
           the number of brain cells the owners have
           In all seriousness the most no no's in a career by N.R.
