  1. The only conclusion to be drawn if you believe this is that his management team is completely ineffective.
  2. Silvergun: MC offenses using Steamer's new wOBA projections. Ramos 0.33 Abreu 0.38 Kendrick 0.32 Headley 0.335 Bogaerts 0.323 Jennings 0.311 Braun 0.357 Choo 0.349 Trumbo 0.332 Butler 0.342 Average = 0.338 Lucroy 0.344 Encarnacion 0.377 Altuve 0.33 0.315 (3B placeholder) Peralta 0.319 Dickerson 0.355 Gonzalez 0.366 Werth 0.366 Bruce 0.328 Morneau 0.361 Average = 0.346 You haven't received enough attention for targeting Coors bats. You've had a ton of success with the strategy, and it makes a very big impact.
  3. The Romo sweepstakes have come to and end.
  4. Any idea why some guys are missing (Choo for one).
  5. I know absolutely nothing about his defense. Is it bad enough to eliminate most of the value he provides offensively?
  6. No I actually kind of agree. If the plan is to use Norris as strictly a DH platoon and only very rarely at C, you are using two spots on the DH. I'd want him to be one of two catchers on the 25-man if he's on the roster.
  7. I don't imagine that Oakland is all that eager to ship out catching depth with Jaso's head all mushy.
  8. Examples? I haven't exactly looked for comments he's made, but I expected a trainwreck when Colby came over from St. Louis and have been surprised that Tony has seemed fairly reasonable and informed for the most part.
  9. My god that Justin Upton trade was awful. It's one of the only examples I can find of a very good position player traded pre-arb. There's also Josh Hamilton for Volquez
  10. I remember seeing his username, but the only jariax posts I actually remember were him making a Nick Adenhart joke, and then getting himself banned so he could start over.
  11. This is one of the first time he's actually sounded stupid though.
  12. Yeah. He'll provide either saves or a ton of holds with good ratios. I'd keep him, but I only want two relievers and have Robertson and Davis.
  13. 1.5 years team control.
  14. Should have had a 'no pitcher' qualifier. I wouldn't move the package for Donaldson's pitching equivalent, whoever that might be.
  15. Romo still has that 9+ K/9 and 5/1 K/BB talent. You guys need more Romo in your lives.
  16. It just seems like, barring short-term rentals, every time a team trades 3-4 good young guys for an elite player, they win. At the time of the trade everyone talks about the great possibilities presented by 11ty seasons of team control, but it almost always turns out that the the team getting the elite talent wins the deal. Actually, it would be interesting to see examples of similar deals that went the other way. Say your criteria is: - Team A moves 3+ arb seasons of a player reasonably projected at 3+ WAR at the time of the deal. - Team B moves multiple assets that are less proven and have more team control How many examples are there where team B regrets their decision?
  17. So does anyone want to trade a pick for Sergio Romo?
  18. I don't dislike Stroman, I'm just not really into young pitchers as long-term assets. It wouldn't surprising to see 170 innings of 3.5 ERA ball next year, but it also wouldn't be surprising if he hits the wall a bit or his arm falls off.
  19. Also, F. Torres: welcome to the board. You seem like a great addition.
  20. 2-3 years ago I would have wanted to keep the kids and dream on the sexy $/WAR possibilities. Now? Give me the franchise player. I'm comfortable betting on attrition of guys like Lawrie/Pompey/Stroman, and if they're going to be league-average players, you can find that a lot easier than you can find a top-15 player.
  21. We won't agree because we have very different perceptions of the value of guys like Stroman and Gray. I wouldn't even consider Stroman for my top-50 in terms of trade value, while Donaldson is likely top-15 .
