Eric SanInocencio Of Baseball Daily Digest...With A Mystery?
Some of you who have been around here for a while might remember Eric SanInocencio of Baseball Daily Digest from the great interviews he's done with DC's '08 First Round Draft pick Aaron Crow and the Nationals' '09 #1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg before Strasburg had started the '09 campaign with SDSU. Mr. SanInocencio sent me a link yesterday to an article he published recently that I thought you might find interesting. Here's a quick description of a player Mr. SanInocencio came across while playing college ball, see if you can guess who it is...(the link to the article is after the quote):
"...Let these numbers sink in for a moment. .489 batting average, 15 home runs, .863 slugging percentage, and a 43-to-30 walk to strikeout ratio. For those without a calculator handy, that made for a .585 on-base percentage, and an overall OPS of 1.448. Despite the level of competition, that’s amazing. To top it all off, he stole 27 bases, so you couldn’t even intentionally walk him. All this as a shortstop. Wow."
• Eric SanInocencio's article entitled, "Yes, That J - - - - - - - - - - - - -."

I'm easing up on the MacDoody bashing
Like to see Storen by the end of the year, but there’s no need to immediately put him in the ninth or anything. MacDoody hasn’t put up monster numbers or anything, but he has notched a save in each of the three games on the current winning streak and he’s only blown 1 save in 10 chances. I’ll take a 90% conversion rate anyday after what we’ve dealt with all year.

Small numbers on the SV%. His peripherals are... not comforting...
"It's not a secret, you don't need to be an expert on math to know that walks plus errors equals runs...." --Mannyger Acta
To put it mildly.
On the other hand ….meh. Having a bad closer isn’t the end of the world when you figure save percentage has to regress from what it was earlier in the year.
