Jacobs is charging hard into the top 30. That'll knock Ring out, sure, but he'll certainly get another chance to contribute. (Indeed, he may be the team's top relieving lefty right now.) And if he re-asserts himself, Offerman is the next vulnerable guy. If Jacobs stays in the lineup against lefties, Offerman's main job becomes number-one pinch-hitter against lefties (and Piazza may soon steal some AB there) and number two or three against righties. He has to keep hitting to keep from rotting. So Graves becomes eligible for bumping, but he too may be back in September. The really vulnerable guys are DeJean and Aybar. About seven guys will be scrambling for those two spots (including maybe Aybar himself) come September.

I'm so excited.

David Wright looks like he's already clinched Schaefer Player of the Month.
Tom Glavine is currently the leading pitcher, but Pedro and Seo each get a shot at displacing him. Seo needs to toss up a 3.42, and Pedro needs a 3.6.

Wright's lead over Floyd for the big prize continues to widen. Pedro and Reyes become the third and fourth players to crack the 100 mark.

And, towards the bottom of the list, Mike Jacobs "gets on the bus" as he moves into 30th place.

The system continues to burn closers and other releivers. Looper ain't all that, but he's below Ishii and Matsui. Hernandez also.

Benjamin Grimm
Sep 01 2005 11:54 AM

Looper's problem (or handicap) is that he'll rarely receive more than one point in a game, and he'll rarely receive any points in a game that the Mets lose.

I'd personally be inclined to give him more than one point if he came in with the winning run on base and pitched out of the jam. But he rarely does that; usually he's coming in with nobody out and the bases empty. Some of his saves come in games where the Mets give him a three-run lead. That's not always point-worthy.

Unlike other pitchers, he's very unlikely to get any points when the Mets lose, unless he comes into an extra-inning tie game and holds the opposition scoreless. But that's infrequent.

Matsui is helped by the must-award-ten-points rule. There have probably been some dismal games where he's earned a point or so for getting a single or a walk. If we weren't requiring ten, just about everyone would have fewer points, and some people (Aybar, maybe, or DeFelice) would probably have none at all. (In some years, this might keep us from getting 30 players with points.)

So far I think the top tier of players in the Schaefer standings are about on line with the actual performances turned in by those players.

I think we under-rate starting pitching a little and relief pitching more than a little.

Elster88
Sep 06 2005 07:50 AM

The underrating of starters probably is the result of their only getting points during their starts. But I don't think it's underrated much.

"I think we under-rate starting pitching a little and relief pitching more than a little."

Well, that's why we'll look at things subjectively when it comes time to rate the entire year.
In any case, I'd be surprised if Wright/Floyd/Pedro (in one order or another) don't wind up as the top 3 as they are in the PotG.

Edgy DC
Sep 06 2005 09:48 AM

Hernandez is 20th and he should be like 11th.

The system (and my fault here), has one fatal flaw with the standard ten-point thingie. Most players are as likely to play in a loss as a win, relative to the team. But some relievers pitch when a team is behind, and others when the team is ahead. Aaron Heilman becomes the top ranked reliever by always scoring his points on days when the competition is down.

Benjamin Grimm
Sep 06 2005 09:58 AM

Maybe next year we can tweak the rules a bit:

Award 10 points for a win.

Award between 5 (or 6) and 10 for a loss.

I think that should stem the point inflation we're seeing.
