• Amaury Marti Watch

    Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.

    Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

A peak at peak translations: The hitters, part 1

Posted on November 10, 2007 by erik

AZ had a great post the other day at VEB about why the Cardinals can’t afford to trade Colby Rasmus. One of the arguments he made was that Colby’s MLE (minor league equivalent) was a solid .240/.331/.474 line, and his peak translation line is .273/.380/.538, or a .308 EqA (.260 is considered average, while [...]
