Alexei Ramirez Community Projection
by The Cheat on Feb 11, 2009 11:17 PM CST
Email
PrintAlexei Ramirez is next up in our community projection project.
Alexei began the '08 season as the opening day center fielder, an experiment that only lasted two games. He played sporadically (and poorly) in over the season's first 6 weeks, before making Juan Uribe the White Sox version of Wally Pipp with a .304/.331/.502 line the rest of the season.
Can Ramirez post a full season's worth of those numbers? Does Cuban Pride affect your projection? Have we seen his peak performance? Can he increase his walk rate? Is his power maxed out?
As usual, contribute your entry by filling in the form after the jump.

I would say that Elenore or Elouise (whatever here name is)may be Jacob...
Since she is the only one that knows how to get back to the island…
So, if I am reading the two options correctly . . .
we can either a) keep dye or b) trade dye . . . is that you Phil Rogers?

Elouise was the blond holding David hostage...
when he went to look at Jughead. That’s why she looked familiar to him; because its his mother.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned that this is NOT the first time we have seen her in LOST. Her first appearance (I believe) is when Desmond buys the engagement ring for Penny (Flashback). It was during the time Desmond was trying to figure out why he could see the future events for Charlie. She saw the man wear red shoes, watches him die, and tells Desmond that if she saved him then, that he would have died tomorrow in the tub. The key of her discussion with Desmond is that she tells him not to get married and the greatest thing he will ever do in his life is push a button (the code).
I don’t think she’s Jacob, but who knows? Without Desmond I wouldn’t have been watching this show since Season 2. Honestly, his character’s storyline is what moves this show forward. If he’s not in it, it just seems to be stuck in neutral.

my bad: Its Eloise, not Elouise.
Plus, believe it or not this is the first episode ever that Desmond and Ben speak to each other. Kinda weird.

Yes.
A whole lot of retconning. A literary device that, in the wrong hands, can be quite obnoxious. And boy oh boy is it in the wrong hands.
couldnt agree more
like why didnt Russo recognize Jin when she met him a few seasons ago.
They’re just stretching the story thin to cover the duration of the contract now, its pretty weak.
because at the point in time Russo hadn't met Jin yet...

Well then you open up a completely different can of worms.
This was seen with Faraday knocking on the hatch door in the past and meeting up with Desmond. Desmond then somehow never remembers this exchange the entire time he is dealing with Faraday, but does remember it years after he is off the island (with the weak cover that a “dream” caused him to remember)?
Time travel is a huge can of worms even if you stick with predestination, where even if you go back in time you can’t change anything. In fact, with predestination, if you go back in time you will only reinforce what has already occurred.
Predestination seems to be the route Lost wants to take, but they are hedging their bets a bit too much and taking liberties with the idea. This ends up being inconsistent because predestination is much too rigid of a concept for such liberties to really make any sense.
Aside: If you want to see a really really interesting and scientifically plausible movie on a different concept of time travel (one that involves new timelines each time you go back in time) check out Primer. It was made on a shoestring budget, but it still looks good, though they don’t dumb down the science involved at all, so it may take a few viewings to grasp it. Also, if you have seen it and don’t quite get it all, this timeline map helps explain it quite a bit.
I think they did explain why she never recognized him
by showing she essentially goes off the reservation (ie killing her whole team). Then spent 16 years by herself. She always had met him but he looked quite different when he crashed on the island and in the first couple seasons, they never spent any time together where she could recognize him to trigger her memory. Again, we could go in circles in this debate but I do believe she always met him not that they hadn’t met yet.

Why bother? DeLuca calls him the best player in Chicago, "5 tools" specifically!
When scouts talk about the elusive five-tool player, look no further than Ramirez. He has speed, a strong arm and can hit for power and for average. And when it comes to defense, he looks good in center field, second base or — his best position — shortstop.
‘’It feels good knowing I’m going to the position I love,‘’ Ramirez said through interpreter Lou Hernandez, the Sox’ director of public relations. ’’It’s the position that I’m naturally best at. I think the transition is going to be good.’’
Also, Cheat, you left out the “clutch” category:
Ramirez’s glove is only half the story. He has emerged as an offensive threat feared by opponents. He proved himself to be one of the best clutch hitters in Chicago, batting .321 with 27 RBI with two outs and runners in scoring position last season.

I'm not sure what to make of Ramirez.
I picked him to do just a bit less than last year, but I could see anything from total collapse to an All-Star type season. He’s probably the hardest player to peg.

I did the same thing,
except that I had him more patient at the plate (actually doubling his walk total).

You the beacon of optimism? In all seriousness I think he does better than last year. He walks a bit more and still has a good contact rate. .820 OPS

On a completely different subject...
The one part of the team that I can’t quite figure is the bullpen.
Assuming everyone’s healthy, these guys are locks for the team -
Jenks
Linebrink
Thornton
Dotel
That leaves three slots open. Probably Russell gets one, and either Richard or Marquez (whoever isn’t the fifth starter) gets another. Who gets the third? Poreda? Am I forgetting anyone? Doesn’t seem like there’s much depth at the moment.

Ageing sluggers not a problem says expert - we should be fine then
The “bean counters” mistake quantity for quality of performance. Yes, on the whole, 27 to 29 year olds usually will have a higher volume of stats because their bodies are younger, with a smaller build-up of injuries over time. These younger players play in more games and have more at-bats or innings pitched per season, on average, as compared to older players.
The actual peak season for baseball players is 34 to 37 years old. Those players who stay relatively healthy up to those ages will perform better than their younger selves. The older player has had years of training and performance, which gives that player a significant advantage over the more inexperienced player or pitcher.

Although he doesn’t name names, Strawberry relates how team members picked out girls from the stands for quickies. He once watched a pitcher march a frisky fan to a private room for oral sex: “I was jealous. When I saw her heading back to her seat, I gave her a sign. She smiled, turned right back around, and met me in that same little room . . . I had to be quick and run back out on the field.”
Another time, “I was in the clubhouse, having one last quickie with this cute little Florida girl. Charlie Samuels, the equipment manager, came in and caught us. He just stood there shaking his head while I finished up.”

Actually yes...we've got an 8:30 (eastern) first pitch
So I should probably get on that (no pun intended)

Vinny Del Negro needs to go away
Mafia-style. What a worthless coach. Who the fuck ever considers using Thabo “I’m bad at basketball but since everyone has a hard-on for tall guards I play” Sefolosha for the inbounds pass when he hasn’t done anything of substance for the whole game? Trade Del Negro for Mike Fratello pleaseeeeee.

He absolutely needs to go
and Paxson isn’t far behind him. Del Negro is in so far over his head it is stunning to watch. He looks, acts and they play completely clueless.
At least Noah and Tyrus are making Paxson look semi-competent at this point
And Reinsdorf has so much faith in him it really doesn’t matter how poorly he fucks up. Del Negro can’t go anywhere because the loveable JR doesn’t want to be paying 3 coaches at the same time (still owe Skiles several million).

i remembered trade rumors a couple offseasons ago where
pax held back on giving up deng, gordon, noce for garnett, or something similar to that. do you think there was more than a grain of truth to those rumors?

The KG and Pau Gasol trades were very real
Before the 2006 draft Paxson offered Minnesota Chandler, Deng, and the #2 pick for Kevin Garnett, and McHale said no.
The Bulls were pretty close to trading for Gasol in 2007 (I think the offer was Gordon, Thabo, Nocioni, and PJ Brown) but they wanted Deng and Paxson said no. Then a year later, the Bulls were willing to trade more of their assets, but the Grizz just wanted a straight salary dump, so they shipped him to LA for Kwame Brown and a draft pick.

He'll always be criticized for not getting either guy
But, really he threw all his chips at McHale and was turned down. It wasn’t his fault. I blame him and Reinsdorf for being so fucking retarded as to pay Ben Wallace 60 million dollars when he was clearly declining as a player. Also, giving Nocioni 35 million dollars when he is also old and shitty when Luol Deng was due for a big extension was a horrendous deal as well.

Traded Alridge for TT
and passed on Brandon Roy . . . cannot give him credit for that.
Aldridge isn't that good
Brandon Roy had injury concerns, that’s why a bunch of teams passed on him. The Bulls needed frontcourt help, so Tyrus was the way to go (Or Aldridge if they wanted the safe pick). Blame Skiles for being a total dipshit and not developing Thomas. He’s been starting the majority of this season, and lo and behold he’s playing like a very good player. Think it was just magic that he is playing well now and looked like a child the past 2?

I wanted Roy . . .
injuries were not a real factor and I wouldn’t say a bunch of teams passed on him, he was drafted 6th overall. I don’t think when you draft 2nd, that you draft based on need and that is what they did, IMO.
And we don’t need to discuss how good Aldridge is . . . he is clearly better than TT at this point and was a better fit at the time. They needed someone that could SCORE from the low post and TT will likely never provide that.
Aldridge is a jump shooter for the most part

Call him whatever you
like, he scores from the post . . . whether it is via jump shot or fadeaway most of the time is irrelevant.
or not
Though he’s 6-foot-11, Aldridge is an excellent shooter for his size and gets a lot of his points off jumpers. Nearly two-thirds of his shots came from outside the immediate basket area, and nearly a third of his tries were long twos

So, what, every record that was set or broken from the 90s to 2005 are just set back with proper proof? Dumbass.

just talk, nothing more
has there been any proper polling on this matter? i would think that the majority of fans would not want to repeal records from this era, or even give it an asterisk.

Selig should have an asterisk after HIS name...
