    That's a very specific argument supporting nutshell. Give any team in baseball five million bucks and there would, hypothetically, be a way to spend it that trumps buying a reliever. Any team. Ever. Good GMs sometimes buy relievers, but probably not before exhausting an extensive list of other options. Maybe you run Tampa Bay and you have a few bucks for some weird reason and the off-season is almost over and your manager keeps telling you how much he loves grant balfour, so you just say f*** it and swallow the bitter pill of inefficiency.

    1/5? I'd probably do that. But, I'd need the payroll space and nothing more efficient to spend it on. So if I had five mill to spend, buying a reliever would be way down my list. I'm not an absolutist. General rules here.

    Even the best aren't infallible. - Rasmus trade for Moz was crud. - Loney re-signing was poo for Rays. GB signing was weird as well. - Doesn't Beane trade Pena for Rincon in Moneyball? - I'm a fantasy baseball superstar but even I don't win every trade.

    No.

    Sign some cheap RP depth then. You can get guys for 1M, league min, or on minor league deals with decent enough chances to turn into something. Robert Coello? Danny Farquhar? Did anyone give half a f*** when Toronto let them go? They were nothing.

    Exactly.

    DFA'ed? Interesting choice. I would have done with DFA'd.

    Not a smart way to spend money, but 2/14 isn't really all that terrible considering the upside and what guys like Pap-smear and Soriano have gotten in years past.

    Agreed. Suboptimal choice but it's not like the rest of the team is optimal. As a St Louis fan, I'm hoping he gets to dress and doesn't end up as an extra forward.

    Welp. Better start collecting resumes.

    Sign up KK! You have 48 hours until we find a replacement owner.

    Better question: How does a 6'2" 16 year old that sits low 90s, touching 95, only get 300k?

    The new spreadsheet really helps. Probably my best idea ever, in anything. I'm thinking we'll track prospects on it during the season instead of in the commissioner's note on Yahoo. JW, does anybody download the spreadsheet every once in a while for offline viewing, so we have a backup in case Google gets blown up by extremists terrorists or PETA or something?

    Was Stamkos going to play wing? I wonder if they'll just dress poopy Carter and make Stamkos' replacement immaterial. Obvious Giroux is the obvious choice, obviously.

    Ah, f***. I wonder who replaces him.

    The rule 5 money flip (allowed this signing) and the patient offseason (if he ends up buying some wins!) make me wonder if AA is done being dumb. I guess we'll find out kind of soon.
  18. Laika
    I bet it would be near 50%. Some pitchers could hit that zone often enough to get him out. What's knees to waist on a 2 foot person, 6-9 inches maybe? Maybe the greatest hitter ever, but they would probably get forced out at 2nd on almost every single, so they might end up not even being that great offensively.

    You mean us?

    Do I have to share an office with him though?

    I feel like it's a fools errand to even try to project playing time. Just give everybody 600 PA, 180 (or 65) IP, and let people scale it up and down on their own if they want. I don't really think past time played or missed is nearly as informative about future time played or missed as ppl think. Maybe it would make sense to slightly scale back proj playing time as age increases. I dunno. I just feel like systems act like they know more about injury risk than they really do when they try to predict playing time. Injuries are largely random - accept it, nerds.
  23. Laika
    Yuck.
  24. Laika
    Who's this Yoon guy? Pacific import obviously. How hard does he throw?

    Sign: Aaron Harang Acquire: Kevin Frandsen Trade: Mike Nickeas dream big!
