I'd be quite happy with any of Lacy, Gonzales, Hancock or Veen.
Inb4 the Blue Jays take Garrett Mitchell, everyone is irate, then he turns out to be the best player in the draft!
The Yankees' Jasson Dominguez #49 on the Fangraphs list despite turning 17 just last week and no pro experience yet.
When was the last time we saw such an aggressive ranking on a J2 player? Or maybe it happens more often than I'm remembering.
Only him and two others younger than Orelvis Martinez on that list.
So I noticed that Curt Schilling's RA9-WAR was actually slightly higher than his fWAR, despite his career ERA being 0.23 runs worse than his career FIP: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/curt-schilling/73/stats?position=P#value
That seemed very odd so I looked at the differential between his career RA and ERA. I guess this anomaly is due to him having only a 0.18 difference between his total run and earned run averages?
For comparisons sake Roger Clemens has a 0.33 differential, Pedro Martinez a 0.27 and Randy Johnson had a whopping 0.44 higher RA than ERA. Greg Maddux's was 0.40
Is there another reason that Schilling's RA9-WAR would be a touch better despite a rather significantly worse ERA than FIP?
Ran across this on Twitter. Looks like Danny Jansen is trying to improve his batted ball profile this offseason. Well I'm sure many players are too but I thought it was interesting to see.
Still a big swing and maybe you noticed this already but UZR saw Biggio as very close to average at 2B.
His DEF number on Fangraphs is negative mostly because UZR absolutely despised his play at 1B and the OF.
