    He's just trying to say money isn't everything. I'd rather have Shatkins @ 100 mil than Dave Dombrowski @150 mil.
  2. Boxcar
    I'm sure Shapiro prefers his payroll now to what it was in Cleveland.
  3. Boxcar
    Yeah. I have loved Hutch since he was owning AA and I sincerely hope he can reach his potential. He's got the talent to be a solid #2/#3.
  4. Boxcar
    Sorry, what degree would you like me to use? Talent wise, maybe Hutch is a 3.8 to Salazar's 3.2 or 3.3. The point I'm getting at is Salazar sucks at getting ground balls.

    This is a silly exercise, guys miss in the middle of the plate all the time. Hutch struggles with command but my main point is that he shouldn't be trying to fix it by "keeping the fastball down" as many Buck Martinezes are fond of saying. That's not his strength.

    Would certainly appear to be the case: http://www.brooksbaseball.net/plot_profile.php?s_type=2&gFilt=&pFilt=FA&time=month&player=612672&startDate=01/01/2015&endDate=01/01/2016&minmax=ci&var=count&balls=-1&strikes=-1&b_hand=-1 Salazar is a bit better than Hutch but there isn't a chasm in talent. Both guys fail to get many ground balls.

Kinda puzzling.

    Wei-Yin Chen, then. I can come up with plenty of examples of successful arms who are of a similar skill level as Hutch. Jamie Moyer, Danny Salazar, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, Scott Kazmir, Ervin Santana.

    Guys in the booth think fastballs should always be down in the zone, so guys who miss up are always "struggling with their release point". Not everyone is suited to being a groundball pitcher. Max Scherzer is one of the best in baseball and he keeps his fastballs up. Not picking on you or anything. Aaron Sanchez keeps his fastball down and he has worse command than Hutch. No one notes that his release is off when he misses the zone all the time.

    Wish I could have watched Hutch. Looks like he got horribly lucky today.

    I'm wondering if it would even be safe for Abreu to return to Cuba to play baseball. Maybe they wanted the opposite, a team with no Cubans.
  12. Boxcar
    I'm more concerned that it's 2016 and certain people still don't understand the implications of "small sample size".
  13. Boxcar
    Why are elevated fastballs inherently bad?
  14. Boxcar
    John Gibbons has transformed into Ned Yost.
  15. Boxcar
    Cuban history?

    Lott is worth a read most of the time. Like I said, that was by far the worst thing I've ever read from him. Avoided objectivity like the plague.
  17. Boxcar
    The problem is when he states he tried to disprove his thesis...if you actually committed to doing that, it is incredibly easy.
  18. Boxcar
    Hmm. I don't find her attractive at all. She wears like 5 pounds of makeup and kinda looks like an even less attractive version of Rihanna. Then again, I didn't really understand Erin Hawksworth either but at least her appeal could be summed up in one word: "tits".
  19. Boxcar
    That was an exceptionally s***** article. Probably the worst thing John Lott has ever written.
  20. Boxcar
    Not to be that guy...but what's so great about Jackie Redmond?
  21. Boxcar
    How did you not know that?
  22. Boxcar
    man, Gibby is so awesome off the field. I can't stop laughing at this.
  23. Boxcar
    I don't agree that any of those other sports are validated either. If the guy is a dickhead, the guy is a dickhead. Deal with it.
  24. Boxcar
    So, the players then.

    Welcome to the concept of Western society.
