    If they pitch 3 innings every 4th day that would be 120 innings for a season That would be as productive as 4 innings every 5th day. With better results it is a better plan. Considering player potential, and past outcomes they have nothing to lose by trying

    A Wood or Kluber signing to me would show that the FO thinks a minor leaguer is near ready but not quite, They would hopefully hold together long enough to get through the early part of the season. If they last longer, great. It is more of an expense than they made last year but hopefully they learned about too much of a bargain isn’t a bargain. Oft injured pitchers tend to continue to be oft injured. They are filler and hope rather than building blocks. Stroganoff (got to love auto correct) Stroman would be a building block that they need.. Stroganoff on the other hand might be a good post game meal

    The Judge, Jury and Executioner is the FO. The hope is that justice is not blind

    Francis had his shoulder blow out long before he left Colorado. He was not the same pitcher after the injury That is a far different scenario than Gray. Jimenez was traded from Colorado hence did not leave as a free agent. Service time wise he was nowhere close to being a free agent when traded. Again, no similarity to Gray

    You did not say pitcher. . Good pitchers and the Rockies have not been linked very often so the sample size is likely what you can count on one hand.. How about the onus on you to name a few pitchers who provided 3 war that left the Rockies as free agents

    Worse than Nishioka? No way in hades
  8. old nurse
    Worse than signing Nolasco, Pelf or Kevin Correia? Worse than Tony Bautista? Tommy Herr ? Worse than a lot of the first round draft picks.

    You are expecting people to be rational here? Dang, you seemed so much smarter than that
  10. old nurse
    The latest player to leave the Rockies and still be an All Star and Gold Glove is Arenado. See what you want to see.
  11. old nurse
    3 years in one level of baseball is struggling. progressing slowly is learning. Breaking out is the player reaching potential
  12. old nurse
    IDK. I guess all star seasons and a gold gloves doesn’t count for much.
  13. old nurse
    I suppose they do not cost a roster spot on the 60 day IL
  14. old nurse
    Unfortunately insight in what not to do may be as not as much value as situations are different each and every time.
  15. old nurse
    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 ............................................
  16. old nurse
    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
  17. old nurse
    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.

    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

    The fatal flaw in the argument is Cobb’s durability. Not one single statistic means anything without being on the field
  20. old nurse
    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I do hope people read the comments section where they shred your analytic methods
  25. old nurse
    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
