    This seems excessive.

    literally the antiGoins

    You could pump out 600 words on it.

    Would you like to write that?

    When they did talk about pitch framing, Pierzynski raised very good points about how some pitchers are easier to frame than others and how umps call games differently. The crew never addressed that these are all adjusted for.

    Nice depth move. Great glove.

    They might actually ban him. They banned King (username MachadoIsAwesome or something) for saying Steve Pearce was bad.

    Orilols

    I think it's more of an issue of fundamentally disagreeing on what those results are.

    it's a lot better Buck and Pat lol

    3.7 WAR per year for 7 years isn't impossible, but there are the obvious cases like Lee and co that just make it very tough to hand out that kind of money. It's so risky. I really wonder what Zimmermann gets. Probably a ton, but maybe something affordable. Then again, what if he's not really that good anymore? Strikeouts are way down. He's gotten better / added velo as the season has gone on, though.

    As Ang would say, hossssssskey players.

    "You give out snark and negativity and you get it back." Disagreeing with you is not negativity, man, it's having a separate view point. If you legitimately think disagreeing with you is being negative then idk what to tell you. I'll try and end this conversation for probably the third or fourth time now: Bye now.

    He's probably banged up in general, hence the Gibby rest days.

    I'm a North disciple. Need I say more?

    http://www.breakingblue.ca/2015/08/12/has-russell-martin-changed-his-approach/ Russell Martin is popping the ball up a LOT. Also, welcome to our new writer Baubau, who will begin writing shortly whenever the owner decides to get him signed up, whenever that may be.

    Russell Martin: pop up extraordinaire http://www.breakingblue.ca/2015/08/12/has-russell-martin-changed-his-approach/
  18. GD
    ok. Glad disagreeing with you is snark and negativity. Bye now.

    His two seasons above 103 are this season and last season, though, the two most relevant seasons when projecting his future performance. He's projected to be 10% above average or so, which seems reasonable, and again, a nice bat at #5. I think it's close enough that it might just be semantics at this point. Colabello might actually be a legit awesome hitter. Not Bautisian obviously but very good regardless. Hits the ball very hard. Problem is of course he's literally useless aside from that

    Dropped him in FC for hit f/x stud Kike Hernandez.

    Tell me what part of my debating wasn't civilized. I made my points, repeated them when you didn't read them and never tried to troll/provoke you. I swear. If I feel like trolling for a day, people yell at me to contribute more, and if I feel like having a civilized debate and contributing, people tell me I'm trolling. Oh god, the prophecies are true. I'm BTS.

    If Beckett hadn't gotten injured that contract wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world. Just the regular kind of s*****! As well, Crawford has actually been pretty productive past two seasons, lol. Replacement level this year though. Looks REALLY ugly rn.
  23. GD
    Oh congrats, massive difference. Still an ad hominem. I tried to have a civilized debate with you and after your posts you're telling me to get off my high horse? Get the f*** out, lol.

    Exactly. How many of these contracts are already hamstringing teams? Verlander, Pujols, Cano, Lee, CC, Mauer, Choo, Hanley, Wilson, just the vast majority of the following page: http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/rankings/ 1. Players often break down in their early 30's. While this is not definite, it is a legitimate point of concern. 2. These contracts are very large and provide little to no surplus value, can hamstring a team's budget. 3. The risk of a massive loss of surplus value outweighs the risk of a slight surplus value advantage. 4. There are more efficient ways to add wins. Conclusion: These contracts don't always end poorly, but generally are bad investments.

    He's about 17% above average and the power might be legit (new article around 4 PM!). I'd call Martin a nice middle of the order bat.
