    13th best well you see, he sucks. he's kevin pillar with a better name.
  3. Laika
    Yeah I like him as a possible contributor. He seems versatile and has some tools including the most important one.

    I mostly operate under the assumption that there is no such thing as a hockey prospect. For fantasy. The elite players go straight from junior to the league. The minors is for grinders, support players, weird big defensemen, and goalies. This is not categorically true but is probably good heuristic.

    I don't think Otto Lopez had anything to do with the decision to trade Martin. Martin - you are hoping he can be a cornerstone player. Lopez - you are hoping he can find any type of MLB role.

    Why is Alexis Lafreniere so f***ing bad????
  7. Laika
    I don't know most of these players but this seems f***ing horrible lmao William Eklund Stuart Skinner Anton Lundell Morgan Frost Filip Zadina Nathan MacKinnon Matthew Tkachuk

    completely f***ed my season with inattention, sorry guys. will be entertaining offers for older players from now on.

    aha. there it is. the puig mystery has been solved.

    Barry Bonds is a god. He headlines my Hall of Fame.
  11. Laika
    Bit of a logical leap there. You cannot say "if you didn't compete against black athletes you are not the best of all time". The most you can say is what Jim did "no one can conclusively say "this player is the best all time"."

    For all we know Ted Williams was on speed and experimental US GOV drugs his entire career

    Winker and then delete her number

    that's pretty crazy and explains why Romano seemed juuuuuuust a bit off for parts of the year
  15. Laika
    yeah exactly

    Batters getting in shape is also very different than pitchers getting in shape. Pitching is so much about balance, consistency, and rhythm. If you change your weight and physique drastically, even if for the better, it can realistically throw all that stuff out of whack. I think that's why you don't see a lot of chubby pitchers with success on their resume trying to change their physique like that.

    Also grant is on my team and connorp is neutral but wants to see me fail more than anything
  19. Laika
    Boogers side.
  20. Laika
    Yes but only Jim and connorp are allowed to talk politics and we can put an end to it whenever we want. have fun. you guys can even make your own thread, "jim and connorps's political bants", if you want.

    The dream: Freddie Freeman, Yusei Kikuchi or Zack Greinke, and Collin McHugh (all of the FA relievers kind of suck, wow) More realistic: Kyle Seager (one year), Drew Smyly, and Collin McHugh (all of the FA relievers kind of suck, wow)

    It's not JUST a gut feel thing. From watching them play, I guess the most specific thing I could say is that I think there is a subjective luck component for Espinal's MLB data that is tricking Steamer. I would not be shocked if the other projection systems show bigger differences between the two players.
  23. Laika
    Sort of. Teams have more sophisticated measurements and projections than Steamer. It's not like Steamer has solved baseball projections and front offices aren't needed anymore.
  24. Laika
    You need to adjust your lens for everything. Think in terms of normal distributions / standard deviations, probabilistic outcomes, and bayesian methods. The bayesian part is what a lot of public saber people can struggle with, I think.
  25. Laika
    87.9 is 263rd out of 404 we are talking about 35th percentile vs 4th percentile, Jim. It's like, an entire standard deviation of difference on a normal distribution. So it's not just "a bit different".
