Where's Waldo and Where We are Now: Current and Projected Standings
Who is this total stranger posting on Al's blog? Well a long, long time ago I was one of the original "statheads" at BCB. After posting for a while at a couple other blogs, I wrote some pieces for last year's Maple Street Press Cubs Annual. (Still available online!) After that, Al asked me to come...
The Johnny Cueto Contract
The Reds reportedly have agreed to a four year, $27 million contract with 24-year old RHP Johnny Cueto. This would be the third major extension the club has offered a young player, and the fourth multi-year extension of the offseason. Cueto was signed as an international free agent in 2004, and...
The Bruce contract extension: another look
Now that we've worked up the Arroyo extension, let's turn our attention to Jay Bruce's new...
2010 BCB Community Projections: Starting Pitchers
At last, I have received the projections for starting pitchers from SWL. Since these were done quite some time ago, it was before Carlos Silva was named to the starting rotation; his projection will appear in the bullpen post. I've been assured that the numbers are calculated properly for these....
2010 BCB Community Projections: Starting Position Players (Corrected)
As pointed out in this comment by Dave86 in yesterday's community projection post, there were some errors in SWL's spreadsheet calculating AVG/OBP/SLG for the players projected. The spreadsheet added all the projected averages and averaged them rather than recalculating them from the counting...
BCB 2010 Community Projections: Starting Position Players
Thanks to everyone who submitted projections in the community projection series. For the starting eight position players, we had anywhere from 52 projections (Marlon Byrd) to 98 (Derrek Lee). There were enough to make the overall projections legitimate ones, and I don't think you'll find any of...
2010 BCB Community Projections: Sam Fuld
Tomorrow, at last, we will have a baseball game to pay attention to! So, this is the last in the community projection series. We will have projected 2010 stats for 22 Cubs players. Sam Fuld has become a fan favorite for his hustle, attitude and propensity to almost literally run through walls to...
2010 BCB Community Projections: Andres Blanco
Andres Blanco's biggest worth to the Cubs, obviously, is his defense; he can capably back up SS and 2B. His offense, not great, did seem to improve as he got more playing time in the second half of 2009. He hit .276/.323/.368 after June 18 (94 plate appearances). Granted, that .691 OPS isn't...
2010 BCB Community Projections: Angel Guzman
The health of Angel Guzman is critical to the Cubs' bullpen success this year. Yes, I know, that's a "master of the obvious" statement. But Guzman's recent shoulder soreness -- which has him shut down for a few days as a "precaution" -- is a worry. So how will Guzman do this year? Post your...
2010 BCB Community Projections: Carlos Silva
Well, this one ought to be interesting. Yes, I admit it. Carlos Silva was a really bad pitcher in 2008. In 2009, he pitched badly in only eight games (six starts) before he missed the rest of the season with injuries. Supposedly, he's healthy. Yes, he's overweight. Maybe he can get in better...
