    No it isn't. Projected injuries, etc are factored in (for the most part). Aging too. Career dips for things outside those areas should on average balance out with other players having career years. We don't need things to fall our way to reach that, we just need way above average bad luck not to happen like it did last year. Things falling our way would be like what happened to the Red Sox last year, or the Orioles the previous year.

    I think it's a lot more likely that the Jays would look to get Franklin and Saunders. We have a big need in the OF next off-season, and Saunders would fit that nicely (the fact he's Canadian doesn't hurt either). Franklin / Ackley is obvious, but I get the impression that the Mariners would prefer to hold on to Ackley.

    I don't buy that. They're only at like 68M next year plus 3 1st year arbitration guys. The last two years they were 84M, and over 90 for several years before that. They get extra money this year just like everyone else. They won't spend it just for the sake of spending it (especially while in a sort-of rebuild), but you have to believe if they have a Tanaka (or Price) land in their lap for anything that isn't a drastic overpayment, they're going to jump on it.

    Reports seem to indicate that Tanaka wants to pitch on the west coast (although I'm sure he wouldn't turn down somewhere else if they made it worth his while). I have to believe Seattle and the Dodgers are the most likely, with the Yankees a wild card.

    To kick this off, there's reports (although I have my doubts) that the Yankees might also stand pat on the pitching front. So here's the question: Would you prefer the Yankees rotation (next year) of: C.C., Kuroda, Nova, Pineda, Phelps with Banuelos, Warren, and Nuno in reserve or our rotation of Dickey, Buehrle, Morrow, Happ, Hutch with Drabek, Stroman, Redmond, Rogers, Romero, Nolin in reserve.

    Isn't this what the mods are supposed to, er, resolve?

    It's a public list, just click on one of the numbers and it'll show you.

    Meh, almost everything you see as an astrophysicist happened long before humanity ever existed, so basically you're just a history major in denial

    It doesn't necessarily matter what it does to him long term. He can still have tremendous value to us even if he only beats the odds for four or five years.
  10. Abomination
    Like THAT will narrow anything down!
  11. Abomination
    Yeah. Some (probably many) people's IP's are also somewhat dynamic, changing some times every few days when settings are re-negotiated with the service provider.
  12. Abomination
    No, but it does have implications beyond this year, since it resets their penalty. I mean, that's the whole point. But I agree, it doesn't mean they won't give up and dish out a few doozies.

    Something tells me Chappy has been getting PM'd by him
  14. Abomination
    Youk signing with Rakuten is actually rather interesting, especially with them paying him up to 5M. I wonder if that means they intend to post Tanaka after all, and this move is to help appease their fans?
  15. Abomination
    This is kind of interesting regarding height (probably been posted before) http://sabr.org/research/does-pitcher-s-height-matter
  16. Abomination
    For the record, the part about the pissing matches and stuff wasn't meant to be referring to NJH.
  17. Abomination
    Assuming the Yankees do get under this year, I would expect them to go nuts next year on pitching. I could even see them try to get Scherzer, Tanaka, AND Kershaw.
  18. Abomination
    Maybe they'd consider something along the lines of Gausman and Schloop for Sanchez, Santos, and Happ? That would clear about 9M for us, while giving us a pitcher ready to step into the rotation now and a possible fix for 2nd base. They'd get their closer, an affordable starter to replace Gausman in their 2013 rotation, and a starter to replace Gausman on their prospect list (just pushed back a year).
  19. Abomination
    Think Youk would have bought it if we told him he could live in an igloo if he came here for cheap? Lots of life experience in that I'd imagine, especially when it's 30 above in the summer...
  20. Abomination
    That goes without saying
  21. Abomination
    There should be another tier between ban and full poster. Perhaps a title of "JPA's biggest fan" and a temporary replacement of the avatar with a dunce cap.
  22. Abomination
    Kev needs to step up his game! There's still time for a late push for the title.
  23. Abomination
    I think Chappy just replaced Gsnarls as my favorite mod this week!
  24. Abomination
    I doubt it since Janssen only has 1 year left, but maybe they'd consider Santos.
  25. Abomination
    So, when does the tell-all book come out explaining how this was all planned in advance by the mods and NJH to scare the crap out of the annoying posters?
