    Boras clients. He wants them paid for what they could be. Any team wanting to sign them would have the same thought. The thought pattern for what they could be is just different.

    Lopez, Gray, and Odorizi were all traded later than today’s date. The roster is nowhere near set. Bowman is likely a pitche the Twins think they can tinker a little with and get a little more speed and an improved off speed pitch and make an all star out of

    Like Amazon Video, amazon baseball would be an addition charge, but it could make for more prime members, more shopping since you paid for it
  4. old nurse
    Amazon has 173 million prime members People would likely have to sign up for Amazon Prime first. They start shopping, Amazon makes money

    You quit commenting. Finished the popcorn. The bucket became useful the more you read?

    ● WPA is not highly predictive. Generally, it is not used for player analysis and projecting the future

    $20 a month for a 7 month season is $140 500k subscribers would be a gross of 70 million. How much ones it cost to produce a game? 55 people at 100K is 5.5 million

    They are Boras salients. The only way they would be signed at this point is if there was a gross overpayy. They may be the top free agents of this class but not as sure of thing as other years. It is going to be into spring training for them. It does not hurt baseball, it may not help the players

    Hudson is 30 minutes away with no traffic. Never, traffic at events. It only takes seconds to get in an out of downtown parking., in. An out of events

    All is still pending a bankruptcy judge’s decision. 115 million does not go far in an 8+ billion bankruptcy

    Thinking that fans are going to drive 2-3 hours each way is a fatal flaw in your argument. Going to a game becomes a ay trip, not an evening’s entertainment. That is not saying the other guy is right
  12. old nurse
    There are two factors slowing down free agency. The failures of the Mets and Padres last year is one. San Diego had to borrow money to make payroll. Fan attendance was even up by about 1 million fans from before the pandemic an spending spree started. Teams are not going into red ink. The other thing is 5/185 and 10/300+. If the pitcher think they can get DeGrom kind of money they are not going to be a quick signing.. Montgomery has had consistently good outcomes, but he is no DeGrom. Snell has ha inconsistent outcomes. Bellinger had 2 down years before having a great season. That is the delay for signing him. What are you going to get.

    For extension to work you still need to have the pitches in the first place. Michael Tonkin, Mike Pelfrey, Mike Smithson were all real tall and should have has great extension. It did not matter.

    Those ranking were for fantasy sports. That is a different agenda than winning playoff baseball games.

    B war, not fWAR. In 1988 they left him out for mop up work in a couple games they were losing and let him get hammered when he had nothing.
  16. old nurse
    Negative WAR for what amounts to. Smallish sample size. Frankie Rodrigues, Scott Already, Rick Nolasco, Rich Robinson, Jim Deshailes and Pt Mahomes all had multiple seasons to stink in. One could have included Cole DeVries but I still remember Thorlos’s piece on how he could be an Ace. One could always count on sooner or later a very usual statistical take from Thorlos

    McCarty’s name is in red. All you have to do is click on it and you will have an answer
  18. old nurse
    From 1962 to 1969 Versailles accumulated 14 fWAR that was 12 best over that time frame. In the context of the times he always was an adequate shortstop.

    The last top 10 to have success in Oakland was Barry Zito unless you clue Murray’s success in contracts in football

    Good thing you were not tying to juggle lit torches.

    Pitch framing evidently is not important

    BABIP is luck is one of those fallacies people have said so many times people believe it. LD% correlates highly with a high BABIP. FB% and IFFB is a negative correlation . Speed is a contributing factor. All the information is out there. BABIP for pitchers is normalized at about 1000 innings. Of course than they get injured and there is a new normal
  23. old nurse
    50% reach their 50th percentile projection providing they have met a certain threshold of innings or AB. Never mind that innings and AB were also projected. So if a position player plays manages to play a half of a season, they count in looking at accuracy, but otherwise no. I suppose being right half the time when things work out well enough it is a good system. I wouldn’t use it for anything other than entertainment

    Couldn’t ask for a better way to start your career than a September call up to face the Whites Sox, Angels, Athletics and Royals. Forever on his baseball card will be a year of impressive stats. For his finer work, Detroit sent him to the minors after his last start

    In theory you need a 6/7/8 starter in AAA for the major league team. There also needs to be a AAAA disaster starter. That leaves 2 development slots open Festa and SWR would be 6/7 . Dobnak is the AAAA stater. Ohl might be your development starter. They really don’t have anyone else. That leaves 2 holes
