    I want you guys to decide on whether or not I should sell off major pieces, or just keep the team largely as is until contraction.
  2. Laika
    Nobody cares about your propaganda Your offer is pretty close btw. Just need to dance for me for a bit

    I would definitely bow out in a contraction scenario. You guys practically begged me to take over this team last year and this season I've forgotten to set my lineups over 50% of the time. Just not in it mentally. If the contraction is 100% happening going forward, I would still manage the team for the rest of the year and unless you guys have any objections, I would probably also field trade offers for the high end players. Basically, trading Crosby would be fun if the contraction is happening.

    This little paco is out of options.

    same

    Hossa and Iginla are old, gold, and should be sold

    Well he's old enough to be the boss. The Longoria for Syndergaard+Glasnow trade was just vicious.
  8. Laika
    Pretty sure the throw in guy in that deal has been the most valuable player this year (Sharp). *gives self ten flailings for talking about hockey in these sacred threads
  9. Laika
    Not me, but you've jarred my memory anyway. Urias for Glasnow and Santana (became Longoria).
  10. Laika
    When was our last meaningful trade anyway? You're scared of trading with me and it's obvious.

    Dude, Devers had like 3 walks in A ball this year and a limp wRC+. People are already talking about him as a 1B too since he's slow as. Snot demented

    How have you never heard of Espinoza?

    The odds are against basically any pitcher breaking into the league, of any size, to have sustained success mostly injury free as a starting pitcher. You have done nothing to show that Stroman faces taller odds because of his shorter stature. Nothing scientific, nothing logical, not even in a common sense sense. Would you even give half a mind to the notion that the only reason to ignore pitchers *slightly taller than Stroman would be to fit your narrative? There would be no discernible functional difference between the heights of Stroman and, say, Eddie Cicotte, or Pedro, or whoever (in terms of effect on their health or whatever).

    What statement?
  15. Laika
    I took it as 2006-2015 Still, you know that your example demonstrates nothing at all. To quote yourself, "Someone who professes to understand statistics as well as you do should understand that."
  16. Laika
    now I'm hungry
  17. Laika
    Are you trying to tell me that you went back to 2006 and the list of the top 39 MLB pitchers alphabetically went all the way to Benson? Do you think I'm a retard?
  18. Laika
    Quirk based on low K% There are quite a few obvious quirk players on KATOH's list. The model needs some work.
  19. Laika
    Since 1950 there have only been 39 pitchers 5'8" or shorter in the majors. Take any random 39 pitcher sample and how many would have "sustained success as a starter?" Here's one 5'8" guy that started a good chunk of games: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/normafr01.shtml

    Stroman has more pitchability, better command/control (better balance through his delivery too), and more tricks in his bag of pitches. He also has a work ethic and personality that rises above anyone else's. There are some things on his side too, in terms of aging gracefully. We'll see.
  21. Laika
    5 games for eligibility is actually pretty absurd. Is it customizable in Yahoo? I don't think so, but 10 or 15 would be better.
  22. Laika
    Yeah well when your "school" involves hanging out with a bunch of amateur boxers...

    In the words of Linguo - "Sentence fragment."

    Oh, you guys never posted it on ProBoards. Please do so in the future - things get buried quickly in this thread.
