    Yet a very accurate assessment.

    The article specifically mentioned Koufax as a reason to put Santana in the HOF. That there are other pitchers of less stature in the HOF is irrelevant to comparing Santana to Koufax

    Helman must be able to play a decent enough CF for the Cardinals to see him as possibly an improvement over what their backups last year were. They hit about like what Vasquez did. As a likely cheap purchase, Helman is a potential filler for what the Cardinals do not have. Not too bad, TD only crashed twice while typing this

    Koufax had 2 World Series MVPs and a post season ERA under 1.00. Santana is nowhere close to that. As much as fans want to see Santana make it in, using Koufax as a barometer would be the reason not to let him in.

    For Eeles to get a shot 3 out of the four would have to happen. Correa or Lewis would have to be injured, Julian be a failure,, Miranda underperform, Lee underperforms. Then there would have to e no trades for another MI and Ford showing why he was available for a minor league contract. Plus he would still have to e the demon with the bat and feet. Dude has a lot stacked against him.

    Miami has one or two players that are no longer arb or pre arb eligible. There is really no sense in them taking on more than minimum contracts. Their payroll is at 44 million. They are not going to spend up enough to get to revenue sharing status. Spending 60-70 million to get 60-70 million does not make sense.If they are going to take a contract on, the value of the prospects would have to exceed the value of the contract. They, probably have, like most other teams have, a couple of AAA depth pieces to go with the 8 starters listed on their 40 man roster It would appear this is a develop young player season and hope to get the first pick in the draft sort of year.

    You know the hitting coaches are the best in the business. By the end of spring training Borrgeshulte and sierra will have him hitting like Ruben Sierra.

    I would have liked Grichuk. When he declined the 6 million option i figured he wa pricing himself out of markets. It is not like hee was going to get a 3/30 at his age. I hope his agent pays him the money he lost out on

    The good old days when league average was a robust .260. Maybe some steroids to get it up to 270 again would be in order.

    It does cause the iPad to crash and frequently to reboot. It seems like it does moreso whammy you stop and rethink about what you are posting and loses what you were working on

    The author really gave many of the reasons why not to sign the player,

    From fangraphs ARM (outfield arm runs): Outfielder’s get credit (plus or minus) depending on what the runners do on a hit or a fly ball out. A runner can stay put, advance, or get thrown out. A fielder will get credit not only if he throws out more than his share of runners, but also if he keeps more than his share of runners from advancing extra bases. Wallner for his career is 1.0

    I did not say to trade him for Festa. Look at what Boston was trying to get and the people suggestions for trades. Festa at this point is a back of the rotation starter. Will he get better? Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn’t hurt Breslow to try for better.

    They are trying to set a new record for how many different way they can say the same thing. They still have a few more bloggers to go.

    Boston once signed a left handed first baseman with injury issues and ad defense. It worked out pretty well for them. I would guess that they are hoping someone will overpay with a frontline starter. I wouldn’t think that is going to happen without a top prospect thrown in. Pitching is and always has een in hort supply. A back of the rotation starter is more likely to e what they could get. I wouldn’t think someone like Festa might be a good as they get. The Sox need to find a team that doesn’t consider injury history.

    Santana turned down a 4 year 80 million contract with the Twins The narrative was not that he was too expensive. He kind of made it clear he wasn’t going to sign here

    Bill Smith was a capable person of many things. Unfortunately being a baseball GM was not one of them. His talent though did lead the Twins to be able to draft Buxton.

    Soto is promising. Wait a couple more levels before hyping. In 2011 there was a hs pitcher taken 4th overall. A top 10 prospect in 2012. By 2022 he was the scourge of many fans here. He wasn’t the first nor the last hyped hs pitcher that was hyped and fizzled

    Look at the trajectory of Ober. They higher out a way to increase the workload while still developing the pitcher at the major league level. The pitchers are no longer finished products when they hit the major leagues. Look at the paths of. Ryan, Oer and Skubal

    There were 29 relief pitchers that pitched at least 5 innings that had a fWAR over 1.3. There were 34 pitchers that had a FIP under 3.0, 75 who were under 3.51. There’s more decent relief pitchers than the projection states there are

    Grichuck was a 2 war player last year as a part time platoon player, rh pinch hitter. If he could have maintained that while getting Margot’s playing time he would have come out as the Twin’s best player. How would have that been counter productive?
  22. old nurse
    That is because you are not looking at the players who have not produced with the large contracts

    The local revenue is what drives the valuations of these teams. Drastic, even if it gradual, will decrease the value of those franchises. Somebody would have to pay for that. The current rule of 150% of shared revenue must go to payer contracts might to go down slightly. It needs to e in place as the Asro’s made 96 million one year in their tank to rebuild years. NBA style 4 year graduated increase type contracts, and super max with the current team being able offer more would clean up a few things The George Steinbrenner idea of limiting free agent contracts to one year would be even better, but that is even more unlikely than a 4 year limit

    Sorry I don’t keep a bibliography and detailed notes of where I read things at.. try looking up the old owners of the Mets as to why MLB would not want the owners hanging on to differed money

    BABIP goes higher with higher strikeout % Keirsey was around 20&. His speed is rated much better than Stevenson so that does not make him a comparable player. Speed allows you to beat out more infield hits. Defense can take that away but his doubles and triples totals would suggest that he is not just beating out infield hits like Celestino was when he came up. Keirsey had BABIP around .370 for both years in AAA. It gets less flukey with larger sample sizes. A spray chart might give an indication of actual talent. Whether or not he can come close to a .300 BA in the majors depends more on where the hole in his swing is. The SO% would suggest one. Probably what has held him back last year from a real shot is he is not a home run hitter. What he will be in the majors is like many prospect is a question mark. He could e like Larnach and become better with experience, or he could just be another not quite good enough player.
