Mets Acquire Jason Dubois From The Cubs

.289 /.370/.528 line in the minors. Would have been a good guy to add to Buffalo before the season. We'll see where he ends up now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the new Cory Sullivan!

No

Jason Dubois is at least a good enough hitter to carry his glove.

The Mets actually had a chance in May, June and early July and didn’t do anything to improve their roster and/or AAA depth. Now the season is effectively over — there’s only three more weeks of minor league games too boot — and now they see fit to make moves like this? It doesn’t make any sense, but these are the Mets ladies and gentlemen.

Even more confounding: Dubois is being assigned to AAA Buffalo. They’re not going to add a corner OF with a .900 OPS in AAA to their ML roster, but are perfectly content with Cory Sullivan (-2.0 range UZR in LF) starting games in left field.

Maybe

He’ll be called up when Sheffield goes back on the DL next week.

how are SB and CS incorporated in wOBA?

by firejerrynow on Aug 8, 2009 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions

The Fangraphs version of wOBA

includes SB and CS. It’s roughly +0.25/SB and -0.50/CS. My understanding has always been that 3 SB is roughly equal to 1 CS so I’m not sure why they a ratio that’s much closer to 2 SB = 1 CS.

I suppose this means Wagner will go the other way eventually?

We have thrown so much crap at the wall this year

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

yeahhh new kid from Hampton Roads.

By the way, if the Red Sox are willing to play Youkilis in left field during a playoff run, why is it that we’re so anti-Murphy in left when none if it really matters?

ain't had enough...

by BlackOps on Aug 8, 2009 5:33 PM EDT reply actions

because Youk doesn't embarras

Yeah Jason Dubois

Time for that big playoff run Cerrone keeps talking about

by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 8, 2009 6:02 PM EDT reply actions

That guy is the definition of a shill

He talks about a realistic way to get into the playoffs… and then says we’d have to go 21-5 against the Marlins, Braves, and Phillies

...they aren't mutally exclusive, you know...

and if the White Sox were the ones who claimed him off waivers (as is being reported), then the Mets COULDN’T get him anyway.
So stop complaining.

Fair enough.

But the point still stands, I think.

It is still the act of putting in a claim to show that the front office is putting some effort into improving the team

So stop being a tool for the Met organization.

If the white sox claimed him would we still have been able too?

I thought once a team made a claim the player is either pulled off waivers or traded to that team?

by Gina on Aug 9, 2009 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions

The Mets have the worse record so they had their chance at Rios before CWS.

by The American Mr.Hockey on Aug 9, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions

No, they didn't

Alex Rios plays in the AL. Therefore every team in the AL had priority over the Mets. The Mets’ record is irrelevant unless every AL team chose not to claim him. All the speculation I’ve seen suggests that the White Sox claimed him (likely as a long-term replacement for your boy Jermaine Dye), which would make the Mets’ claim irrelevant.

If you don’t believe me, you can look it up anywhere on the internet, including Rob Neyer’s transaction primer:

(A) If only one claim is entered, the player’s contract is assigned to that claiming club.

(B) If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player.

(C ) If clubs in both leagues claim the player, preference shall always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers.
