    Must be the Calgary Flames part!

    It's in the middle column on my desktop, but I agree there should be a menu item for it or something more obvious.

    I think the reports are that the Yankees are going all out in the IFA next year, and will take all the penalties. Might be a tough year for signing them.
  4. Abomination
    Quite interesting. His attempt to explain the odd numbers makes some sense, but there's a few more steps he could take with it to try to confirm his theory.

    Those guys are no better than the options we already have, and AAA staff should be full if not overloaded as is. There's really no reason for us to (for once). We can probably safely ditch Happ without any other additions.

    I wonder if the umps are allowed to look at the scoreboard displaying the replays to determine whether to check it out themselves after the 6th inning?

    New rule: Pitchers must face at least 3 batters or reach the end of an inning before they can be removed from the game (excluding injury). I'm not a big fan of the idea of reliever specialists (in general, not in effectiveness).
  8. Abomination
    That's true, it would certainly negate some of the difference.

    Nice article! I think one thing to consider is that not all splits are necessarily equal. What I mean by that is a player considered to be an every day player isn't likely to be pinch hit for (like Rasmus). Therefore, he faces the nasty opposite hand starters and relievers as well as the average ones and scrubs. A player who is (at least partially) platooned in their career may not face the elite guys (Price or Sale for example, or a few of the lefty specialists that completely obliterate Lind). A guy who is actively platooned probably has those splits in spite of not facing the nastiest of the guys, whereas a guy who isn't could see the numbers improve against the other hand if moving into that situation.

    Let's just call it npWAR (non-player WAR)

    I'm 99.9% sure JJ wouldn't have signed with us for 1 year at 9 mil. In fact, I'm not 100% sure he would have even accepted the QO.

    That's awesome!

    Official instant replay details: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/mlb-approves-expanded-instant-replay-beginning-with-2014-season?ymd=20140116&content_id=66737912&vkey=news_mlb

    Welcome. This probably could have gone in the offseason roster thread. I think we have a lot of options equal to or better than Worley, so I don't think that would be a move that would make sense for us. We are lacking top of the rotation guys. We have TONS of bottom of the rotation options this year. As for Nelson Cruz, I'm not really sure it would help us a whole lot. The upgrade he'd provide over Lind or (a healthy) Melky is probably minimal at best, if at all. Our best bang for the buck would be trading for a 2nd baseman and/or signing or trading for a legit higher end starter.

    Fail for not including 3-d graphs! (kidding) Very interesting! I'm a little surprised that the run factor goes up for pitches still on the plate at the outside corner. Maybe include the overall umpire bias in as well vs righties. BTW, you misspelled vertical on the second graph.

    Didn't we also sign Diaz to a minor league deal? (at least he's right handed and could be used in a platoon)
  17. Abomination
    Well, they say there's no such thing as bad publicity lol
  18. Abomination
    lol
  19. Abomination
    It's a minor league deal, so this falls squarely in the "meh" category (unless he makes the team). He won't be a platoon partner with Goins since he's a lefty bat. At least he doesn't strike out.
  20. Abomination
    Fair enough
  21. Abomination
    I think I could actually see the Yankees stay under the cap this year, then next year go after something like Hanley Ramirez, Asdrubal Cabrera, Scherzer, and Bailey.
  22. Abomination
    I'm not so sure. Seems the Yankees aren't convinced that he's all the hype is making him out to be. Dodgers seem to be a management call on whether or not to go after him, and with their current inflated payroll who knows if they'll open it up even further (best guess is yes, but ...). Angels are probably at their spending limit. Seattle really could be the front runners.

    I think it was actually 44 minutes lol. I came in right after that (was blacked out until then), but looked like Hansen and Sestito just started wailing on two of the ducks, both of which never really even got a chance to drop their gloves. I think Kassian's misconduct came before the puck drop following that, and the refs had good and had enough by that point. I don't think I've ever seen a 7 minute 5 on 3 before though (actually was a little longer I think since the Canucks took 2 penalties during it as well)

    Canucks are getting hammered, and just got issued against them a 7 minute 5 on 3

    At this point you probably have to go with Dermody, but with that said I could very easily see Deck really break out next year (although probably never more than a #4 or #5 guy)
