    From 2011 to 2015, Robertson was the 5th most valuable (WAR) relief pitcher in baseball. He was 7th among qualifying pitchers in xFIP over that time span. Now that excludes a few guys who became relievers in the last couple years (like Britton), but he is very much more than just a sexy name. Last year he had a knee issue, which likely was the cause of loss of fastball command, and correspondingly worse numbers. His velocity was still there.

    If their processes and policies were that weak, they should have been changed/updated a LONG time ago. The Cards probably did them a favor, before some real hacker got in and started changing things for fun... The picks should just go away, and the Cards should lose all international bonus pool or something for a year or two.

    I don't understand why Houston is being rewarded in this. It sounds like this guy basically just knew (or easily guessed) some of the passwords, and/or his were never removed when he left. That's terrible process and policy. Any reasonable person with an inkling of security knowledge would never let that happen. Should Correa be banned for life, and should the Cards be fined / lose picks? Absolutely. Houston shouldn't be rewarded for stupidity though.

    Smallish sample sizes, but his stuff is soooo inconsistent. One year a pitch is good, the next it's batting practice. He does seem to have good movement on the fastball, and if he converts to relief he could possibly sit mid 90s with the potential for a plus secondary pitch. I wonder if he'll be SP depth, or convert to the pen? MiLB contract regardless, so no downside.

    The save% is too small a sample size to mean anything. The difference in xFIP is concerning, however it appears to be related directly to a loss of command of his fastball. Velocity is right where it should be, although fastball movement was down a little. I don't really see a likely issue pointing to decline, just fastball command issues for whatever reason (probably his knee issues last year). That said, I wouldn't want to give up much given his salary. Maybe we could send Smoak (to make the salary more digestible) plus a mid-range prospect or something.

    He's likely much better than those guys if played in the outfield, probably similar to Napoli if played at 1B. Seems he wanted to stay in the St. Louis / KC area. I have to think he probably turned down stronger offers, because that's a steal for KC.
  7. Abomination
    This would be the easiest solution right now imo. Hopefully in the future it's set to dynasty, then only the offseason trades need to be updated.
  8. Abomination
    Eddie Butler was designated for assignment. He'd be an interesting guy to take a shot on. Would provide us with some SP depth, and the talent is there for a lot more.
  9. Abomination
    We need to get the draft orders set too.
  10. Abomination
    Lol, I didn't mean the NJH name, but the "CandidSmoggyGermanshorthairedpointer" file name.

    ANY OTHER site? I saw the name and refused to click on it from THIS site.

    Well, defense is a thing, it's not just about offense. Typically guys who don't play high level defense don't get rated highly in the lists (these aren't fantasy lists). Klaw also has very specific things he looks for in prospects, much more so than other evaluators it seems. If a prospect doesn't have them, he doesn't rate them well no matter what anyone else says. He's missed on a number of higher profile guys because of his stubbornness.
  13. Abomination
    Can we also add trade blocks to the sheet?
  14. Abomination
    Yeah, nice fit defensively, but that bat is really something.
  15. Abomination
    This is interesting. Hard to see him having much trade value though.
  16. Abomination
    SRF ahead of De Leon jumps out to me.
  17. Abomination
    I really wanted Holland, but that price is kinda insane.
  18. Abomination
    You can ask them at the State of the ... oh, wait. Yeah, this seems kind of weird. Perhaps with what seems like an unusual number of free agents still available (and a few holes), the front office needs to focus all their time there.
  19. Abomination
    Oldish news, and an offseason showcase. I'd be much more worried if that was the result at the end of a spring training amount of time to build up arm strength.
  20. Abomination
    I'm not so sure. Desmond has put up 4.7, 4.8, 4, 1.7, 3.3 WAR over the last 5 years. A 1.5 estimate feels like it probably accounts for a position change.
  21. Abomination
    Looks like not great, but better than Navarro (outside of 2014 when he was the worst in baseball).
  22. Abomination
    Meh, Valbuena has made a grand total of 34 starts there, only 7 of which were last year. That seems pretty irrelevant. I'd also consider Desmond a better (and more consistent) hitter outside of 2015, DRAMATICALLY better baserunner, and a better overall fielder in general. For what it's worth, Steamer has Valbuena at 0.3 WAR and Desmond at 1.5 WAR.
  23. Abomination
    The only thing fan projections are (possibly somewhat) useful for are playing time projections, assuming a large enough sample size.
  24. Abomination
    Without question imo. Is he worth twice as much per year (plus the pick)? Dunno.
  25. Abomination
    Ideally getting someone who can also play some outfield is more what we need. Coghlan would give us plus fielding (in the OF), and can back up 2nd when Travis goes down. Moss would give us plus fielding in the OF and good power. I'm not sure either would cost more (Coghlan would likely be closer to 3M, if that, but Moss could be 2/15).
