A.L. Central Discussion 2016

[SlinkyRedfoot]

It's essentially the same situation in reverse for why the Mets offense was so hot down the stretch, which people give Cespedes all the credit for...the final 2 months of the season, the Mets faced a very weak crop of pitching (63% of their games the final 2 months were vs bottom 10 teams in ERA).

Don't tell Mets fans that, hater. . .

You want to see a Latina from South America, Cuba or Puerto Rico go nuts... Call them a Mexican... And trust me their level of nuts makes the craziest white girl on the planet look like she is on prozac.

There are 3 teams that will have decent offenses in the AL Central.. The Tigers, Royals, and White Sox... The Twins and Indians are going to be god awful offensively and have long stretches where scoring more than 4 runs is going to be impossible.

There is going to be 1 team that has above average pitching and that is Cleveland. The Tigers and White Sox may get average pitching... The Twins and Royals are going to have a staff of pitchers that suck farts.

I will say this slinky... I would pay you to fly down to Miami and call a Brazilian woman a Mexican just to see what happens... That would be something to post on youtube.

Don't you mean your dad would pay to fly me down?

 

[broncosmitty]

Regardless.. the Twins are not a good offensive team. I don't need to dig deeper.. I can see it plain as day by looking at their shit lineup.

The one that outscored ours?


But that was before we added Salty.

And Cameron Maybin. And a guy that hit .250 last year.

And Mike Aviles.

If you can do that from the grave.. maybe.

Hit .250.. with an OBP of .336 and an OPS+ of 121... yeah.. I think he will add something to a lineup.. Cameron Maybin had an OPS+ of 95... which was right about on par with Joe Mauer last year... Salty? Yeah.. he had an OPS+ higher than every Twin not named Miguel Sano in his 70 games in Arizona.

 

[MiamiVice]

Do you know how many players with at least 130 games played in Minnesota or Cleveland had an OPS+ higher than Justin Upton last year? 1 Brantley... And he is injured right now.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Cabrera is a Mexican? LOL

You might as well start throwing out N words slinky...

Seriously... Calling a Colombian a Mexican is about as ignorant of a fucking statement as you can post here without wearing a white hood.

You are a complete fucking idiot.... You know that right?

You'll go on ad nauseam about "rednecks," or "white trash," or "retards," or "faggots," but someone makes a joke implying that everything south of Texas is Mexico and all the sudden you're the moral arbiter of SportsHoopla.

Your stupidity is boundless.

I just played you like a shitty fiddle passed down from a red neck in ohio to his inbred son.

OPS+ is bums favorite stat.

Salty's home/road splits were too extreme last year...the guy hit .198 with a .597 OPS away from that hitters' paradise in Arizona, so I'd hardly rely on his numbers there.

Salty is a backup... Who cares... the only reason I pointed him out was because smitty was crying about him. The guy is the anti doug. For every homer statement doug makes.. smitty makes an equally pessimistic post crying about the tigers.

 

[StanMarsh51]

why did you delete your last post?

Meant to hit edit but hit the delete button and once I hit spacebar, it was gone.

I'll ask that questions again...what makes you think the Royals are going to go from a 111 ERA+ staff to a shitty one?

Kipnis' OPS+ was identical to Upton's, and once called up, Lindor's was better. I'm sure you saw that, but it didn't fit your narrative.

The fact they lost 3 of their main bullpen arms from last year... and are going into the season with Ian Kennedy as a starter, and he had an ERA+ of 85 last year in a pitcher friendly environment.

My post count.
