Todd Helton

Here are the positional bonuses
  1. 2 points for a gold glove at C, SS, or 2B, and 1 point for any other gold glove.
  2. 6 points if they were the regular SS or C on a WS team, 5 points for 2B or CF, 3 for 3B, 2 for LF or RF, and 1 for 1B. I don’t have the OF distribution, so I give 3 points for OF.
  3. 5 points if they were the regular SS or C on a League Championship (but not WS) team, 3 points for 2B or CF, 1 for 3B. I don’t have the OF distribution, so I give 1 points for OF.
  4. 2 points if they were the regular SS or C on a Division Championship team (but not WS or LCS), 1 points for 2B, CF, or 3B. I don’t have the OF distribution, so I give 1 points for OF
    30 points for 2100 games at 2B or SS, or 15 for 1,800 games

There were a couple others as well

game is on WGN so I get to watch!

Paulie, JD and Swish were all looking to go the other way on the outside fastball, so that looks good. I like De La Rosa’s stuff so far, but he looks like a fastball/change type and I think Thome actually would have been an okay play today…if he’s healthy anyway.

Danks has turned out exceptionally.

De la Rosa uses a split. It’s an effective pitch but I hate to see guys use it unless they’re a journeyman or a vet.

I don't know enough about swing mechanics

I’m assuming that means low HR totals, but does that also effect his gap power for doubles and what not?

his ability to drive the ball with power...

Pathetic

I am starting to wonder if some of our guys were using PEDs. I think a lot of these fly balls would have gone yard in previous years… Just look at both leagues now, ERA’S are down, average pitchers are becoming much more valuable since so many teams were built focusing on power numbers. Now many of these one dimensional players are no dimensional. Hopefully we see more speedy lead off types get a chance since they can help teams in more ways than a slugger would, I want to see more skill sets in the game and less home runs. It is very refreshing to me to watch baseball be played the way it was invented to be played.
