It's almost moot either way. MarGo was a 0.3 WAR player in 518 PA's last season and is projected for 0.1 WAR next season. As much as I love the...
There's not a ton of difference between a heavily front loaded $110m contract and a backloaded $120m contract. I bet the FO and agents are acutely...
I see what you're saying, but going from Bregman/Gurriel/MarGo to Gurriel/MarGo/PlayerX is essentially replacing Bregman with a replacement level...
Front-loaded contracts make baseball sense because they pair diminishing production to decreasing salaries but they definitely don't make...
Dave Cameron over at Fangraphs published a great article today on the marginal upgrade of acquiring Chris Sale at the cost of current major league...
Player aging curves strongly disagree with that statement. 34/35 is around when accelerated drops in productivity typically occur. He could be one...
AL ERAs under 3.00 aren't super common, only a handful of guys do that each season. By Fangraphs WAR he was the 4th most valuable starter in the...
I don't see 5 years as remotely possible. 2017 will be his age 34 season. Literally at any point the aging curve can catch him. The only hope...
If there are better options I would avoid Comcast. Their product is fine/good but they have the worse customer service I've ever dealt with. Their...
Who's saying 240lb? The number I had in my head and that's reported on both Baseball Reference (Bref) and Fangraphs is 275lb. 240lb seems...

Excluding his first 34 PAs, he hit .308/.355/.562 with a WRC+ of 147 over the last two months. Small sample size of course, but that number over a...
Hopefully the voting base becomes more SABR friendly over time because Bagpipes just doesn't have the big numbers or awards that the typical HOF...
If it's strep, then the recommended treatment is a 10 day course of amoxicillin. That's to both entirely eradicate the bacteria from your system...
I'm surprised in 2016 someone would build a computer (spending over 1k) and not include an SSD or 16gb of RAM. If nothing more for being...
I agree with your interpretation too. My point is that he's saying Sale is still more valuable (i.e. is worth trading more for) than Archer...
Continuing the Fangraphs is an awesome resource theme (just signed up for the Fangraphs membership today myself) Fangraphs Editor Dave Cameron...

But they got a ton of guys on the active roster who can play MI: Tuve, Correa, Bregman, Kemp, Marwin
I get what you're saying but I've seen so many prospect deals amount to nothing for the receiving team. There's just way too much uncertainty in...
