Yeah, my MO of hoping struggling older guys regress to their projections has been a disaster, so I tried adding a younger guy who's been very good over his last ~400 PA. Hoping maybe he's figured something out and can hover in the 0.340 wOBA area while hitting at the top of the order.

Had a few teams offer a 1st rounder, and had a couple offers of a prospect in the top 20-50 range. Decided to fill my vacant CF spot for next year instead.

1 for 1

The retool begins with a Robertson for Eaton trade. I'm gonna miss owning Robertson. Probably won't move Betances now, but Ethier could go for a SP.

I can't believe you'd do that. Lie on the Internet.

Not sure why, but this was hilarious to me.

Not on board with all the Royals hate, but I can definitely s*** on the Orioles. f*** the Orioles are deplorable.

Wow, with his recent hot streak Goins has clawed his way back to 0.0 fWAR for his career. Congrats Goins!

rekt omg

I wonder what kind of contract Fister gets in the offseason. Like 1/8 from the Padres or something?
-
TRM: Dietrich for Ross?

The HR derby thing is stupid. The best way to find oneself in a HR derby is to have an outstanding (often unsustainably good) first half.

Me too.

Sammy, you beautiful bastard. Please keep your foot on the gas.

Wow, the squeaky clean image of NHL players has been completely ruined in like 8 months.

You know Tercet IRL?

So they aren't even worth giving an opinion on. So tired of racism like this.

lettheballfly: I'd like your opinion on the following people plz: O.J. Simpson Chris Dorner the pirates who took over Tom Hanks' ship in that movie Thx

Dumn and racist is no way to go through life. Poor guy.

Right. You said the only asset you would consider trading him for is Mike Trout, and even then you probably wouldn't do it.
-
Hooray! Unlikable Rays Lose! Ban TheHurl Soon.

You recently called Jeff Hoffman the most valuable asset in baseball. This should cause you to reconsider how firm your baseball-related opinions should be.

The "I judge with my eyes" crowd tends to be the "I judge by ERA" crowd. They just don't realize it. It's easy to attach a narrative to a guy experiencing good or bad luck with run prevention. I'm sure this Hutchison debate was being held re: Kluber and Carrasco earlier in the year on Cleveland forums.

League average LD rate is 21%, and that tends to fluctuate randomly. The GB is a skill, but it's accounted for in xFIP. Neither are interesting starting points in trying to explain why his ERA will continue to exceed his xFIP.

Obviously there are situations in which a pitcher's ERA doesn't match his DIPS and there' something to it. Buehrle's ERA was lower than his FIP, people looked into it, and found that he's an absolute elite defender and that makes up most of the difference. Matt Cain had something going on. Knuckleballers and guys with elite changeups tend to give up fewer runs than DIPS suggests they should. I think what frustrates a lot of people is the IP threshold at which you start to take a serious look at it. Half the forum is calling for Aaron Loup's demotion even though he's been outstanding because they're looking at ERA in a 30-inning sample. People couldn't stop praising Sanchez because his ERA was shiny over a 50 inning sample. There's a time to start taking a serious look at ERA-xFIP discrepancies. That time isn't after 50 innings, and the evidence suggests it isn't even after a few hundred innings.
