Report: Price interested in Cubs; Jays covet Davis
KingKat replied to vic city's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
a non-issue? The only way Tulo lives up to his contract is IF he plays SS. You want Cleveland to take on that contract and then immediately torpedo his value? Where do you come up with this stuff? -
EASILY make an extra 50 MILLION by enacting current technologies. http://highstakesbassin.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/cmonman.jpg

Yeah I should have specified within the top 10 like Ross was though as ECJF says they probably thought he had a nice ceiling too.
-
The idea is to spend a much as you have to but no more than that. That's what every company seeks to do. Shapiro didn't get hired by telling Rogers he would provide them with less value for their money.

Consider that the Indians have Lindor... -
Drafting for floor in the NBA seems like a really dumb thing to do.
-
Rogers is publicly traded. They don't have the luxury of hiding. Everything will come out. Hurl posted some information based on prior quaterlies which gave an idea of what kind of money Sportsnet can bring in.
-
The weird thing is why would Masai be keen to sign him? You would think that would just make it easier to see Ross for what he is.
-
Are you comparing Alvarez to Quentin? That's not really going to work for your side of the argument.
-
Seems like the Jays should be able to attract a guy like that. If pitchers go to pitcher's park to rebuild value why not hitter to hitter's parks (especially with a stacked lineup and a real playoff shot to boot)?
-
Would it though? Iron man Buehrle is no more. This is broken down, not very good at all Buehrle.
-
I don't really follow basketball coverage but did anyone actually like the Ross signing? Is this just a case of not really having anywhere better to spend the money so you just spend it anyways?

Which team won the Byung-Ho Park bidding?

Moving Mauer back to C would make so much more sense. -

This is the tweet they are basing their report on: https://twitter.com/DanielKimW/status/663729736481267712 Edit: fixed -
That's not particularly argumentative. There's obviously a lot of noise in individual WAR but the fact that it largely seem to average out and correspond to actual wins is a good sign. Means that for the most part it's going in the right direction even if it's always going to be a work in progress. I think most people who use WAR understand its limitations. If you look at the MVP debate this year, I haven't seen too many people argue tooth and nail that it should be Trout over Donaldson because of WAR. It seems like most people agree that the difference between the two could easily be attributed to noise and shouldn't be considered significant.

And this tells you absolutely nothing about how much profit is getting cleared by Sportsnet. I've yet to see anyone arguing that there's all this revenue produce a bottom line. The only one who's produced one is Hurl and he's arguing the opposite. Until you can show the money, you're just spitballing.
-
And that's not fishy AT ALL.
-
Bill James is probably not wrong that there are ways that the calculations can be improved but nothing he or you says is going to chance the fact that the correlation between WAR and wins on the field is uncannily strong. The proof is in the proof as they say. http://disciplesofuecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Vineet.png http://disciplesofuecker.com/15418/15418

Byung Ho Park / Adam Lind platoon? -
I listened to a great interview with Val Pompey from some blog one time. The Pompeys seem like really great, very supportive parents.

Seems like extending one of EE or Bautista would be cheaper than signing Davis. Bringing in Davis doesn't make sense unless you're sure both EE and JB are gonna walk and I really doubt that you can't sign at least one of them to reasonable terms. -
There's an argument for sure. Leverage is about the same in both roles but some teams give their setup guy a lot more innings. Since Gibbers usually uses his setup guy as a strict 8th inning guy, it's pretty much a wash.
