    SubQ shot. He can't claim it was an accident unless he found a doctor to precribe it for mood elevation. He has reasons to be of low mood. Ipamorelin allows faster recover from workouts, doesn't put on the fat while adding mass. In that respect it would have the potential to enhance performance

    When someone earlier argued "more or less" there is no more context. When 6.9 million becomes close enough to 4.5. to 5. million then there is no such thing as a bad contract.

    Fangraphs had it listed as 88 million. By the logic used to say that Sanchez was a good contract then Nolasco was more or less a good signing because in the end he produced 5 fwar for his contract
  4. old nurse
    More or less market price? The market when he signed was 4-5 million per war. Signing a contract for the expectation of 17-22 WAR is not more or less a good contract when 12 is produced.

    Garcia is still available.

    Bleacher report had an amusing little article on over rated prospects. It is a good thing when your number 18 prospect http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/mlb/news/prospects/index.jsp?c_id=min is the prospect they call over rated

    Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Damn, if only.

    Given the last couple of years of Miley's career he might be looked at as depth for AA

    The issue is getting in. If you want to start a debate about removing people go ahead. If you want to argue standards for persons vary on situation I would agree. Just look at people's voting habits in politics.

    Times change, what happened off the field matters.

    That stat assumes stability in launch angle and speed off the bat, neither of which is mentioned as a stable trait in batters. The article states "Orioles third baseman Manny Machado produced a .335 wOBA in 2016. But based on the quality of his contact, his xwOBA was .357." Dis Machado regress because of poorer launch angles or exit velocity, better defense as his number of singles dropped or other factors? Predictive exercises can be entertaining, but might be of the same usefulness as the abduction/adductor machine

    With the back end of contracts being so worthless eating money it is now collusion that teams do not want to give them out? Martinez was reported as wanting a 7 year contract. 5/100 is a lot different than what he was looking for.

    UZR is not static for any ballplayer.

    When was Duke, Reed or Rodney ever traded for a high level prospect?
  15. old nurse
    4 quarters for a dollar is about trying to get something for your dollar before it turns into nothing, not about staying in contention.

    Derailing for a second. Could you start a thread on what it was like watching Honus Wagner play Everything I have read said he was an exceptional fielder. Clearly you must have seen something others missed.
  17. old nurse
    Not at all. If projects Gordon as a 2b with no power he would be below average for that position. As a shortstop he could be average to below average in fielding. Gordon is where he should be on the list based on ceiling weighing more than proximity to the majors. If he were higher based on that judging system the minor league system is not in that good of shape. The writer likes the high end potential of Graterol. If Romero and Gonsalves, who are as near to the majors as Gordon, are considered #3 or better starters, they are more valuable than an average to below average MI. When ceiling counts more than proximity to the majors, me must really like Rooker. If you value proximity to majors ias more valuable, then go to mlb.com. In 15 years you can see who had the better guess. Would anyone rank them that way now?
  18. old nurse
    You and many others must have missed the first tine of the article that went with the list.

    Contracts this year are topping out at 3 years. Maybe there is not much movement because clubs are balking at giving away money at the back end of contracts. Analytics does have some usefulness to the clubs. It is not like there are got to have players out there. Very good players to help a team, but not anybody with a very long window left.

    I wasn't asking for your source. It really did not take much to know where you got you statistic. Statistica has access to private business records? I do not think so. They might be using Forbes numbers, which Forbes in fine print has said is a guess on the revenues. Sorry I was asking people to think why would a number look funny.

    With an average ticket price of $30, a 20 M local tv deal the Royals would need to be making about $100000000 a year off concessions and parking for the revenue numbers to be accurate.
  22. old nurse
    Why not? Does he have some sort of telepathic mind reading ability? Speculation is not fact
  23. old nurse
    Did I say anything about making trades? Adding words and meanings to someone's arguments. I am sure that every team would love to give up a top half rotation starter for Nick Gordon and a bevy of low ranked prospects
  24. old nurse
    So the Twins can get a top starter with multiple years of control left from a team that looks to contend for little of nothing.. Last week's holiday, or the holiday 4 months from now?
  25. old nurse
    When one reads the comments made by people on pitchers not named Darvish (who is neither 2 pitchers nor has pitched every fifth game for a whole season in a while) one could easily think that the team would be better off without someone else's reject.
