    No it's not, lol.

    And now North and Havok make an interesting swap. Trades be happening. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of either Singleton or Johnson.
  3. Laika
    Three rash trades in an hour or so. I feel filthy.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiKIdMktKhYNdExxYUhpb05wT2J1ZXJGTkVQNElDdVE&usp=sharing#gid=0 Pretty sure Steamer has been updated so that will be a little bit off.

    Yeah, pure upside. The thought of Salazar breaking out huge and having him and Scherzer throwing down two or three double-digit strikeout games every week is pretty enticing.
  6. Laika
    JFaS' Steamer based player rankings from a few months ago had Salazar #73 and Belt #79 for 7x7 leagues.
  7. Laika
    I didn't think he'd give up Salazar either
  8. Laika
    I think I might need some pitching.

    Send me a pm. I have space on my projected DL.

    Would anyone move a good SP for Anthony Rizzo, Danny Duffy, and a dead cat?
  12. Laika
    Definitely interested in doing something stupid smart

    Pitching line for #Brewers Matt Garza: 1.2 IP, 9 H, 10 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 1 K.

    I don't have any experience working with and manipulating data for stuff like this, but yeah, I imagine "sum seasons where age < 30" is a hell of a lot simpler than trying to actually sum the first 6 service time years. You can't really do first 6 season because lots (most) players have a partial year or two in there that doesn't = a full service time year. Even if first 6 or first 6.5 seasons would work theoretically, it's not as easy to pull as less than 30.
  15. Laika
    Using first 6 years WAR might be a cleaner way to look at it. With an age 30 cutoff, you'll get guys who break in early and accumulate more than 6 years, and you'll get guys who break in later and have less than 6 MLB years before age 30. It might all even out, but it might not. Like you say, the better prospects might be getting 7, 8 years on average here, and the worse prospects might be getting just 5 years. So that would change the magnitude of the relationship here - making the more valuable picks even more valuable, and the less valuable picks even less so.

    This seems excellent at a glance, a great resource.

    Chances are Santana won't be as effective in 2014, and even if he almost is, he'd probably accept a QO next time around.
  18. Laika
    Every front office in baseball is well aware of park and league factors. Hard for me to believe that anybody actually gets more money because they put up a better ERA in the NL. It's 2014.
  19. Laika
    Wait, when did Spanky get back into the big leagues?

    Round #3 of Medlen vs. Beachy, the spaghetti arm throwdown: "@mlbbowman Kris Medlen confirms he has spent the past couple days preparing himself to undergo a second TJ surgery"

    As someone who, in ironic foresight, picked Toronto for every free agent in part 1, can I get a part 2 only leaderboard, plz and thx?
  24. Laika
    People should at least realize that Stoeten ripped on this message board pretty hard last year for the "Official Fire AA Thread", which was made largely through the prism of last years moves and maybe contained more thoughtful foresight than he was willing to entertain at the time. He washed away the sentiment that AA was performing poorly with a response of "baseball is hard", and then he said this message board was full of dopes. Lots of people here are dopes, sure, but for Stoeten to come completely over to the darkside because the Jays missed out on Ervin Santana is pretty funny to me. Blogging is hard.
  25. Laika
    Doesn't Santana have a small tear in his UCL, dating back to 2009 or whatever?
