    Well his defensive skill at 3B didn't all of a sudden plummet by ~25 runs.

    His UZR was just as bad at 3B

    Has to just be noise...

    Sounds like the Lowrie trade might precipitate a trade of Lawrie: http://m.sfgate.com/news/article/Jed-Lowrie-rejoins-A-s-Brett-Lawrie-likely-to-6657610.php

    No, you're just confusing points. It isn't a slight to Osuna to say that there is no viable argument to taking him over Syndergaard. I love Osuna. He is fantastic and special. But there's still no argument to be made for taking him over Syndergaard. Nothing. And of course it's crazy to compare them. Syndergaard projects as a top 15/20 SP in baseball... Osuna would project to be maybe Toronto's 2nd best RP and maybe a top 60 reliever in baseball (generous - Steamer doesn't think so). Do you understand the chasm there? It's massive

    Unique!

    yeah but you don't even watch the games

    You're right that it's not determinative by any means. I thought the relationship was stronger. GB rate probably only has a small effect on HR/FB%. Since 2002 Bottom third in GB% had HR/FB of 9.90% Middle third............ 10.06% Upper third.............10.66% http://i.imgur.com/HoEh3yK.png R^2 = only 0.0225

    He is a groundball pitcher, so when he gives up flyballs it's probably on a pitch that he didn't execute well that got hammered. You actually see this a lot with GB guys. Check out Keuchel.

    So like very other basketball game?
  12. Laika
    ok, that's objectively wrong though
  13. Laika
    Clearly you've never tried to f*** a goat
  14. Laika
    So what you're saying is that the fact that Osuna is younger is a viable argument for taking him over Syndergaard for the next five years, or in five years, or whatever the question is?
  15. Laika
    f*** you, you scab. Garbage bike enabling piece of crap mod.
  16. Laika
    Ok, that's weird. To what end? His BABIP and HR/FB against are still totally normal.
  17. Laika
    Wow, this thread is amazing and hilarious but it also makes me pretty sad. So many morons here. Waste of time.

    Chen is fine but I just can't escape the opinion that he's not the guy I'd spend my moneys on or give a long term deal to. I'm not really sure why. It's just a lot of money and years to give an ever so slightly above league average pitcher who doesn't strike guys out, get a lot of groundballs, manipulate contact, throw particularly hard, hasn't touched 3 WAR or 200 innings ever. I dunno.

    Bud Norris fWAR by year: 0.5 1.7 2.0 1.7 2.7 1.5 0.0 PROJECTION for 2016 = 1.5 Lost absolutely no velocity this year. Only 30 years old. Braves sign him for 1/$2.5 Remarkable. And watch Mike Leake get a five year deal. Note the talent comparison --> http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=9492,10130 Baseball is weird.

    Not sure if you noticed but Fister was sitting at about 86mph this year. Didn't even touch 90 once. That's down 2.5 - 4 mph from his peak

    @Ken_Rosenthal: "While Price...is open to returning to Toronto, the Jays are not expected to be a major factor in his free agency"
  22. Laika
    I could see them taking a catcher, just in case getting Navarro back or another backup doesn't work out. Maybe Taylor Davis (was on BA's list). Obviously they could take any number of mid 90s relievers with control problems. Matt Bowman is kind of interesting as a SP.
  23. Laika
    not crazy just adding a bunch of cheap depth is a viable strategy
  24. Laika
    Probably not. All of this "Price likes Toronto" stuff probably just means that IF Toronto offers him a market value deal then he will accept. He's not going to leave money on the table for Toronto.
  25. Laika
    Hypothetically, let's say that Toronto reaches out to every free agent pitcher and finds out that the following guys are the only ones that will sign with Toronto (at these prices): Price 7/$210 Chen 5/$80 Happ 3/$42 Fister 1/$10 Pelfrey 2/$15 Is it really such an easy decision to not sign Price?
