The s***** New York media is going to crucify Harvey over the next few days.
-
Of course.
-
They won't be shutting him down. He'll be in their rotation until their season is over.
-
Why would Severino be on an innings limit?
-
Peak Bonds in the DDL would be an automatic ticket to the playoffs. Unless catsass owned him.
-
ftfy
-
Anyone want Tobias Rieder? He's cheap
-
Holy crap, Joey Votto is in the middle of a 7-win season?
-
Ace worth the money - Price or perhaps Greinke?
BTS replied to art_vandelay275's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This is true. Tulo's value will be tied to his bat. We know he's a good defender, probably in the +5 area. That will most likely slip gradually to below average over the next few years. His big ticket is the bat. If his 2015 is the status quo going forward, he's an albatross as soon as next year. If it's just a down season, he should retain value better than Reyes did. -

I'm not sure that this is actually true. Reyes at the time was projected at 4-5 wins. Tulo won't be projected higher than that next year. -
King, please make Clutterbuck my last keeper. Or does the spreadsheet not matter anymore?
-
I kind of want to own Porcello. North is about to come in here and talk him up, but I wonder where his value lies in the offseason.
-
It's a good thing we have you around to point out that wRC+ might not be 100% perfect. You should get a team together to make sure nobody discusses defensive metrics or park factors without a disclaimer that they might be imperfect. Fight the good fight. The rest of us will chat about baseball.
-
Are you going to raise a stink every time someone uses wRC+ and doesn't add error bars and an appendix to their post, or is this just something I'm going to have to deal with? What about defense? Can I state in conversation that player with 10 DRS has been 1 win better defensively than a player with 0, or do I have to annotate that with an explanation on how that might not be 100% accurate? I ask because I don't want to add you to ignore, but I have a low threshold for pedantry.
-
So basically you were looking for attention.
-
It didn't warrant a correction. wRC+ is good enough that you can say it measures a player's overall offensive contribution.
-
Everyone knows you don't understand/believe in wRC+ as a stat. You don't need to turn a completely benign post into another opportunity to whore for attention.
-
It's scaled to that 100 is league average and accounts for park factors. So someone with a 150 wRC+ is 50% better offensively than a league average hitter.
-
It really comes down to whether or not you think the defensive metrics are in the vicinity of his actual performance. I didn't see him play, so I don't really have an opinion either way.
-
My picks: njh over TRM Dinger over North jaysblue over FTD Silvergun over havok
-
Bautista is the best position player and hitter in Blue Jays history.
-
Dinger, I just tied silvergun to get you another prime minister's trophy. No big deal.
-
No chance he survives anyone's cut down next year, but he can probably help you if deployed carefully as an SP8 or 9.
-
Has to be.
-
Dallas Keuchel now has 8 games with 8+ strikeouts in his last 13 games and is striking out close to 10/9 in the second half.
