    Imagine if someone went to sleep a week ago and woke up this morning to look at the projected lineup:

    Yes, the writers get ad revenue from their story page views. It's how we've been doing things for the past several years but even as we've maximized ad revenue, it still isn't enough, as the maintenance of the site is growing faster than our ad revenue. As for the borders, I toned those down last night. They looked great in the test environment but as more people signed up, the page became a bit overwhelming.

    Traffic has been a lot higher than normal this week. It's one of the reasons we mentioned a distributed server coming soon. It's necessary, but expensive.

    Thank you! We worked really hard to find a way to make this initiative not feel like a handout. We ultimately landed on making sure our content creators receive the bulk of any donations. After all, they're the ones who bring all of you back to read the site every day.

    Dude, Kiner-Falefa has a career wRC+ of 81 compared to Florimon's career 59. And Kiner-Falefa has been better than that recently, posting a 94 and 85 the past two seasons. And if you like fWAR for defense, Florimon spent most years with a negative fWAR. Kiner-Falefa, as you pointed out, was over two wins last season. Florimon and Kiner-Falefa aren't even in the same conversation of player quality. And I say that as someone who does not like yesterday's trade.

    Exactly. Let's put this into context a little... Petty's 50th percentile outcome is a decent reliever and he has a near-zero chance of seeing a Twins uniform before the 2025 season. So yeah, I'll trade that for two years of Sonny Gray all day, every day. Now go get Pineda.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, now we're talking. I like this deal a lot.

    Outstanding analysis, Lucas.

    At first glance, it's really hard to like this trade. They better be right about this.

    Oh man, I forgot Liriano peaked that high. I knew the other four but forgot about him.

    If baseball is going to keep playing 162, I'd much rather see a 4/10 start with more doubleheaders every season.

      I've been asking for the return of scheduled double headers for a long time.  I think a creative marketing team could really exploit them too.

      March baseball, in particular, is a disaster.  Even in good years, it is unpleasant.  Personally, I agree with you.  But whatever date the season starts, the first week should, as much as possible, not be in the harsh weather states.

    A floor is needed but it needs to be high and MLB's offer of a floor came with some pretty big strings, IIRC. I think they wanted a CBT way down at $180m with draconian penalties, and a host of other changes including expanded postseason. The thing about a salary floor is that it needs to be high - I'd argue for $120m - and it needs to come with substantial revenue sharing, which only owners can agree to implement. The players have limited ability to "force" the owners to share their revenue, the owners need to do that of their own accord. If the owners agreed to increase revenue sharing to the point the Pirates can afford a $120m payroll, they could then ask for a $220m salary cap in trade. And if the players rejected that offer, they'd be absolutely in the wrong for doing so. But talking about a salary floor without mentioning required revenue sharing - which will be substantial and fought fiercely by 6-8 clubs - we're only talking about symptoms while ignoring the problem itself.

    I'm not the editor, I'm the community manager. I'm not really involved with the news section of the site other than the code that powers it. And the poster you're referring to had been warned by at least four separate moderators over the past year previous to my post so let's not pretend this is anywhere close to the same thing. Feel free to disagree with Ted's assertions all you want - pick them apart piece by piece if you like - but I'm not going to get involved.

    Excellent piece!

    Indeed, and the level of corruption in the system is very high. A draft would hopefully be aimed to mitigate the exploitation of these kids.

    An international draft is long overdue for many reasons.
