I don't think he'd hit well enough to be a 1B on a championship team. His probable ceiling is 2nd division OF/1B.
Agreed that massive amounts of surplus value are needed. But that's part of the plan. Those incredibly lowly paid pre-arb guys eventually gotta...
That’s basically the same thing. Your loyalties lie with the organization. For most of those guys, I say thanks for the memories and I’m glad...
I get the sense people are upset that the underpaid players want to get paid the market rate.
I think the push will always be there to get more innings out of your starters than not. Hopefully JV teaches LMJ some crafty veteran tricks to...
It's like watching someone play checkers when everyone else is playing 3d chess....
What the heck? I went to turn on the Texans game on CBS here in San Antonio and we have the Vikings/Carolina game. Dafuq? The Cowboys are on Fox...
Well for the most part that's true: the goal is to maximize total team WAR. WAR already accounts for position. X offensive production at SS is...
I doubt anyone expects MarGo to put up 4.1 WAR ever again. Reddick hit well but it wasn't his career year. I don't see him regressing...
If he’s willing to renegotiate his opt out then maybe? Otherwise no.
A guy with McHugh’s curveball, McCullers fastball and already decent groundball tendencies is a lot of raw material to work with. At $8m per...
He needs to send a thank you to Charlie Morton for getting people recognize the value of positive-metrics, bad stats guys. Dude got paid for...
He's clearly a better game manager that what we had prior and what I've seen from other current managers. I don't know how many managers...
As much as I disliked the Braves (for winning so much), Chipper is a clear 1st ballot HOF guy in my book. One of the top 3 or so switch hitters...
Unlikely thought, but knowing they get to keep their previous bonuses maybe they're looking for a proven winner now.
Bah. We got really good post-season relievers named Peacock, Morton and McCullers Jr.
I disagree. Maybe it's spliting hairs but I'd feel super uncomfortable if any of those four guys got extended looks in the rotation. Fiers I'm...
I got mixed feelings on Fiers. As long as he’s not perpetually in dumpster Fiers mode he’s a solid 6-8th starter. In the hangover of a long World...
They’re trying to keep him in the org if he clears waivers. They’re banking on other teams 40-man rosters being full or spots reserved for the...
If their contracts are voided, are they no longer IFAs subject to pool rules?
