WPA also vastly overrates high-leverage relievers. Is there a reason to believe that if Joe Biagini had been put in to save games instead of Osuna, that his performance would have been substantially worse? Note that I'm not saying that I believe Biagini to be on the same level as Osuna, but put him in those situations and suddenly Biagini looks like a 3 win reliever. It's way too context-dependent, which is exactly what WAR tries to eliminate.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Edwin had the homers and RBI as opposed to Donaldson being universally disliked. The players are dumb, there's a lot of people who consider Edwin's season to have been a career year despite this being his worst offensive performance since his breakout in 2012, and noticeably so.

Lmao that TheHurl edit.

Kris Bryant >>> Not to mention the 3-5 other guys who are clearly better and either had down years or are a few years oldsr.

Is this the new board meme?

You're just asking to be trolled at this point.

I'm technically a co-manager in this league, I help havok set his lineups from time to time. Basically an intern.

Is JaysFan4Ever really a mod or did admin f*** up when setting up his Donor tag?

It's pretty simple, the website isn't accurate lol. -
In JV's defense, it often looks like he's the only one trying on the glass. Yeah his defense isn't good, and his mobility is noticeably lower, but he's carrying the load on the glass as the only legit big man on the court.

Patterson sucks again.

Remember to account for the value of the lost draft pick. I'd probably be okay with that offer regardless, just pointing out that the internal evaluations could have a 5/80 contract closer to 5/90-100 rather than the raw dollar figure on the surface when accounting for the draft pick.

Isn't it kind of a waste to be paying an elite reliever ~$17M on non-competitive years? Unless the Yankees suddenly go all out, they probably won't be expected to be competitive until 2018 or maybe 2017 if they make some big trades, and having Chapman, much like having the 3 headed monster last year seems like a waste in the meantime.

That's exactly what North would have done. Oh boy...

Your first base depth chart (including Steve Pearce) is the most Boxy thing ever.

How many guys do you have that could close next year? Wasn't clear enough from your post. By the way, would you be open to dealing Moustakas?

Atkins: Blue Jays want to give Gibbons extension
Orgfiller replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Letting Bautista hit first and JD second for the majority of the year is a pretty unconventional thing when you consider that guys like Erick Aybar and Jose Iglesias (not to mention our second favourite manager who hits Alcides Escobar first) got to hit at the top of the lineup this season. -
All of those things that you mentioned that he could do except for the stolen bases are a product of playing in Coors Field for his entire career. He's only hit above 20 homeruns once, last season when he hit 29, he's a career 105 wRC+ hitter, so his OPS in a less extreme park should be noticeably lower as should his batting average, and him being 30 means the days of 30+ stolen bases a season are likely behind him. He's also not a particularly good defender, sure he can play all OF positions but it's more at an average or below level, and with his age can only be expected to decline. Then there's Stroman who's already a very good pitcher, is much younger and has more control. Simply a much more valuable piece any way that you look at it. Stroman doesn't need to improve one bit from this season and he should still be expected to be easily more valuable than Blackmon over their control years.

Huh, I just saw somewhere that the likely plan is to play Eaton at CF, which is understandable given that they want Turner back at SS, but takes a hit to Eaton's value. He grades out as a negative defender in CF by both DRS and UZR/150, although he likely hasn't played there enough to have fully regressed numbers, and he's wildy above average in RF, albeit in a very small sample size.
