A.L. Central Discussion 2016

[MiamiVice]

Vice-president....could you explain how you derived that the KC Royals were not going to compete for the AL Central title in 2014 AND 2015? I just wonder if your adamant convictions that the Royals (and Indians) won't be able to compete this year, will end up with the same results we saw from your Royal's prophecies from '14 and '15. (I believe Google was available to you then - was it not?)

I actually said the Indians ARE going to win the division.. if you actually read anything. Not one time did I say the Tigers are going to win the division. Every projection I made said the Indians.. soooooo.

Cleveland stole 3 more bases than the Tigers last year.. lol.. that projects as better on the bases?

Yes. I'm sure that's what it was. BP took one look at 2015's SB totals and went with it.

 

[MiamiVice]

I guess the additions of a 35 year old Davis and Napoli are going to propel the Indians into the top 10 in runs scored.

 

[Iffster]

Honestly.....If I was forced to bet on the final outcome of the AL Central for 2016....it would be a coin toss between taking Vice's choices or those of dougplayers. (Although I suppose throwing a dart at the team names would be a better solution....considering pass results of those two.

Your guess is as good as mine.. because its retarded. They scored 669 last year.. where are they expecting to get those extra runs with 2 months of Brantley on the DL?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Is Upton?

No offense, I'm doubting your credibility on this. (Iggy bringing you down.)

He's more or less right. He's not great at stealing bases, but his RS% and particularly his XB% are high.

iffy... how was your afternoon nap?

 

[broncosmitty]

And you eyeballs say Upton isn't good on the bases?

I haven't seen him run the bases enough to say either way.

I don't consider him slow by any means. But speed isn't a deal breaker.

I'll have enough info by May, or so.

holy shit.. he can actually admit something I said is true instead of arguing post after post that baseball prospectus projections make sense.

Oh....my question was along the lines of your predictions for 2014 and 2015. I am sure you misunderstood.

judging by the fact you literally poo poo everything the Tigers do.. I am sure you will find something to complain about Upton for in May.

Is there anything in particular you enjoy about the Tigers?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

3 more steals.. lol..

SB%

2015 DET - 62%
2015 CLE - 75%

That is a significant difference.

You do realize the Tigers won the division in 2014 right? Which is what I predicted...

 

[Iffster]

Vice = spends 2 days running down the Indians....picks them for first. He is playing it safe this year.

Seriously... why are you defending that projection? Do you actually believe the Indians are going to lead the AL Central in runs scored? I would love to place a bet on that. I will 100% GUARANTEE they don't score 700 runs. I will 100% GUARANTEE they don't lead the AL Central in runs scored. The Indians are going to win the division with pitching... Their offense is hot garbage. More than half of your lineup is going to be lucky to hit. 250 with 5 HR.

I said the Indians were going to win it weeks ago.

LOL... you are a faggot iffy.. seriously.. you must love to bottom.

 

[Iffster]

Got to go......I have to take care of my business.

It has nothing to do with admitting that you're right. I don't mind doing that at all. You finally said something that wasn't retarded. Congratulations.
