Joe Sheehan Smart, Fun Baseball Writing

joe_sheehan: @andyglockner Worth asking the question, but look at how awful the 10-12 seed lines are. The Wisky/Cal/IndSt wins look great in that group.

joe_sheehan: @jazayerli @Jesse_MLB_NBA Yeah, but which owners have made more money, huh?

joe_sheehan: @thereisaparty Career 4.61 ERA and 279/122 K/BB, so no. Wait, that's his Triple-A stats. Still no.

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette Sure. I'm just a nit about BA and slash splits for relievers. You end up with the wrong answer a lot.

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette 1) Your data set doesn't match b-r. 2) Please don't use BA. BABIP queers it badly in these samples. Use K and BB rates.

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette This is what happens when you invent steroids.

joe_sheehan: RT @jasoncollette: #Indians have added 4 bats this off-season: Reynolds, Swisher, Bourn, & Stubbs. The quartet K'd 621 times in 2012

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette @Joelsherman1 Hell, Swisher (141), if we're doing this.

joe_sheehan: @hiramboyd @jscherretz @DariusTumblin @RobDMay Yeah it is. The outfield defense, however, could help it a lot.

joe_sheehan: I know I'm the guy who comped Bourn to Vince Coleman, but him getting 17% less than Swisher is really surprising to me.

joe_sheehan: In a mix with the Royals and Indians, probably third in that group. RT @jpf1562 Sir, where do you see the #WhiteSox in the A.L. Central?

joe_sheehan: RT @fantasy411: Head over to the blog to read what @ZachMLB has to say about the recently completed expert slow mock draft: http://t.co/ ...

joe_sheehan: @codymdunlap Not sure Giambi is wired for 450 PAs.

joe_sheehan: They're at least three short. RT @RobDMay I feel like the Tribe is a SP short, though who isn't.

joe_sheehan: Don't think Mark Reynolds has enough bat to be a full-time DH. If I'm playing one of Stubbs or Reynolds vs. RHP, I play Stubbs for the D.

joe_sheehan: @JohnBow11 Because reducing Stubbs to only the short side of a platoon is kind of light. He should play more than that.

joe_sheehan: And I think the #royals might now be #3 in the AL Central. But at least they don't have Wil Myers.

joe_sheehan: A Michael Brantley/Drew Stubbs platoon in left field is kind of interesting. Think this means Swisher sees some first base. #indians

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette No. The losing/gaining of picks are separated now.

joe_sheehan: @jasoncollette Yes, pick for Atlanta. Sandwich pick. Doesn't matter who signs an FA now if you're the team losing the player.
