    Percolate states that they do mot give a number but a range. What is posted but a definite number. Percolate does tend to be more accurate for teams Shorter spring games means less minor league players showing what they can do against other minor league players

    The team found someone to be a backup. It remains to be seen who has a better year to prove who has a claim to be correct

    I always thought betting lines were about one way or another extracting money out of people. I was wrong. It is about getting you to drink Kool-Aid. Hmm. Rather have a beer.

    San Diego , LA. It all must be one big freeway. In a week they will make you a star.

    Mot so long ago Marcus Peery was a candidate, I wonder whatever happened to him
  6. old nurse
    Red Peery should be available if they dig him up

    Old school got to the playoffs, new school got to the playoffs. That is a far better than the Mariners this century. They have gone as far as the A’s this century. They have done better than the Padres at getting to the playoffs. Complain all you want about lack of playoff success, that is the nature of baseball.

    Didn’t Boof go poof?

    A Blue Jays cap. That was quite a while ago.. The last few years Pillar has been negative DRS negative UZR150 in CF. It is safe to say the old gray mare ain’t what it used to be.

    Arenado is going from the Rockies to the Cardinals. What, if any was your favorite fan trade scenario for him. My favorite one I saw was he had a no trade clause and thus could veto a trade here. No one wants to be here

    It was referenced last December in the Athletic that there would be no NL DH. Neither side was budging.

    The Tallion ship has sailed to the Yankees

    The management loves sliders. Castro’s lacks depth. Another organization couldn’t fix it in years, why would the Twins be able to. Bryant may be mentally damaged goods at this point. He had the brightest manager in all of baseball, the genius of all geniuses in baseball operations and only 1 trip to the World Series. Now it is not fun. Unmet expectations when you are the big star would not be any fun here, either

    If Chris Archer learns a whole new set of mechanics as a pitcher he could be good. Isn’t that every pitcher?

    WPA and related statistics did not like Brunansky.

    Delmon Young

    Projections as a team are far more accurate than for individuals

    A minor league deal is a wonderful thing. A free look is cheap.
  19. old nurse
    That would be both sides

    So the prospects Chicago received made trading Darvish worthwhile yet the ranked prospect the Rays got is somehow worthless unless he turns into a HOF player.. Maybe Cronenworth is the second coming of Merrifield. Maybe not. He now appears to be anointed superstar status off from a few games, Coupled with Vanimal’s comment all I am allowed to say is wow.

    None really have a pedigree unless you call being drafted in the second round something special. The percentage of 2 round players that become above average is what? Has anybody ever tracked how well 16 year old bonus babies have turned out? It is not unfair to call them lottery tickets even though they are good for 16-20 year old players.

    They came out in handfuls for Pucket after 1992, not droves. Outside of Kershaw how many Dodgers have been there over 6 years. They did not keep Turner nor Peterson. I doubt that if they could have fans that there would not be people staying away because those two are now gone.
  23. old nurse
    When the Cubs were bad they were still a well attended team. The Cardinals send players away regularly, yet they draw . Players draw fans you say. Twins attendance dropped like a rock in spite of Pucket after 1992. Look at the history of Pittsburg. Getting to the wild card drew fans. Way back when the were we are family they were one of the top drawing teams. The Oakland team has been playing in a dump for how many years? That is the fault of the rest of baseball? Revenue sharing is there. Statistica says that the Rays in 2019 had over 260 million in revenue. Forbes will tell you the same thing and that they made 68 million. Tampa is not poor

    A game six starter renders the last game of the season argument moot. They lined up Morton for that scenario It was not a fire sale, Tampa got a [potential front line starter, a high ceiling catcher, a high ceiling two pitch pitcher and a thus far failed prospect. That is not a sale. Tampa selected a site with poor access for their stadium. Their lack of revenue is their doing, not the fault of baseball as a whole.

    You have to remember that people have met others along the way and know them better. They may have sounded just like your post
