  1. The latest player to leave the Rockies and still be an All Star and Gold Glove is Arenado. See what you want to see.
  2. 3 years in one level of baseball is struggling. progressing slowly is learning. Breaking out is the player reaching potential
  3. IDK. I guess all star seasons and a gold gloves doesn’t count for much.
  4. I suppose they do not cost a roster spot on the 60 day IL
  5. Unfortunately insight in what not to do may be as not as much value as situations are different each and every time.
  6. A player comes in for 30, 40, 60 or more innings and pitches to a low 3 something ERA over a full season is merely average in your world ............................................
  7. It doesn’t bend me out of shape. It just amazes me the lack of understanding what is out there for pitching that people show. And the context for the numbers
  8. League average pitching is a 4th starter? Good luck building a team in a hurry through acquisition by trades and free agency. Of the 396 pitchers listed by fangraphs as starters, Jon Gray ranks as 57th best when he is not having a good year. You call that a fourth starter.
  9. Your claim of realism is not over the top. That stuff you put out only goes down. What anyone sys is opinion. Players with minimal stat lines or developing pitchers is opinion. You can be skeptical. The only way it is realism is that the the majority of minor league players fail
  10. The fatal flaw in the argument is Cobb’s durability. Not one single statistic means anything without being on the field
  11. UZR 150 doesn’t seem like a number that is stable as a season to season statistic. I would not put much faith in Kirilloff’s numbers at 1B.
  12. Interesting. Baddoo started hot, but the second half of the season he had a .715 OPS. It was still a good number for Detroit but had a Twins prospect done that would there be the love that Baddoo gets
  13. Enlow and Vallimont were the current FO's choices on players. They need to be in on a discussion of who to keep. Even though Enlow might not pitch this season he might be worth the roster spot to some forlorn team. Vallimont was projectable as a middle rotation kind of guy before covid. There are enough rounds and enough bad teams to give him a look.
  14. Kimbrel has an option at 16 million if the Sox so choose. The White Sox made a move and over payed. The Cubs seem very good at getting people to overpay.
  15. I do hope people read the comments section where they shred your analytic methods
  16. I would. Hope someday you will understand the emotion behind thinking you are important to an organization then discovering you are not. The time he had in Cleveland was the rebound
  17. Greenie will play where it interests him to play. If hew wants to play here for a year,, great.. In actual results for the league pitching an ERA of 4.16 and 171 innings is a respectable mid rotation pitcher.
  18. In the cold cruel world of data you are correct. There is still the question in the individual completion of baseball does he bring that something that makes a team much better
  19. If you go out one more year you realize what a fluke 2015 was for Forsythe. The TD habit of only looking at the statistic that would “prove a point is still alive.
  20. Forsythe playing nearly as well as Dozier is like saying JA Happ pitched nearly as well as Riich Hill.
  21. They are similar in that people were expecting a haul after Doziers’s 2016
  22. They were looking at trading him the year before. The Dodgers went with the guy the Twins traded for the year before. .
  23. Like the haul they were offered for 2 years of Brian Dozier, at a time when he was productive?
  24. The Mariners have prospect for the position, the Marlins still are not close. A 4 war position player is a good thing, but not a haul.
  25. Polanco’ s value to another team is how much better is he than what they have. A team is not going to give up a haul to marginally improve. The Giants might be the only contending team short a 2B. Why would a rebuilding team trade multiples of the building assets for a player? It is hard to deal when there isn’t a market
