    Horrible if we were overpaying the guy by 3, 4 M a year for the last two years of a 5 year contract when 30M+ of payroll that's on the payroll now is gone :-)
  2. ThePuck
    still have no idea whether it will be a bad deal for him...what if he blows? He hasn't done anything yet. Again, never even played 90 games in one season.
  3. ThePuck
    I never threw a number out there as what he definitely would be and wouldn't be. I said, let's say he's this or that...you said definitively what he wouldn't be. BTW, at ages 26-28, Fangraphs has him at 4.2, 3.6, 3.6
  4. ThePuck
    Exactly...any stat that tells me Peralta is a better fielding shortstop than Ozzie Smith was is flawed...especially since Peralta isn't close to what Ozzie was on defense.
  5. ThePuck
    and you know this how? You don't. Now, let's say he drops down to 2.0-2.5 WAR, what will be the going rate in three years for that? Maybe 16, maybe only 13. We gonna complain about overspending 3 million when payroll will be as low as it will be?
  6. ThePuck
    Only if you think errors and fielding % is a good way to judge defense...
  7. ThePuck
    very much so...fangraphs has his value at 17.1M in 2010, 16.1M for 2011, 16.3M in 2012. He was worth what he got...and likely will be his whole contract...probably a bargain when it's all said and done. 12M a year wasn't gonna come close...but it's a good belief if you're defending payroll
  8. ThePuck
    I never said he was an ace or elite...
  9. ThePuck
    There are 30 teams...being 22, 27th and 19th in WAR for SP is NOT considered to be a solid #2?
  10. ThePuck
    Why is that? He hasn't played even 90 games in a season yet, he barely has a season's worth of games played overall, and he still got a 7 year deal. They bought out, what, two years of free agency and he's guaranteed 41M?
  11. ThePuck
    For me, it doesn't matter how his overall numbers end up...it matters what he does from here on out. His first month will make his overall numbers take a huge hit, but if he keeps getting better, it won't tell the true story by the end of the year about the type of player he is.
  12. ThePuck
    Getting just under 200 IP with that ERA is huge...and he averages more Ks/9 IP in the AL than he did in the NL...though the sample size is smaller for the AL for sure. It's certainly not 3 three extra Ks a game in the NL.
  13. ThePuck
    Sanchez has an ERA under 3.90 in the last 4 seasons going into this season...pitched a hair under 200 innings the last three season going into this season...and he just turned the ripe old age of 29. In two years over 30M of our current budget will likely be off the books and Hicks and Arcia will be a year or so into arbitration by the time Sanchez current deal ends. If he continues at anywhere near this rate, his salary will be a bargain and our payroll would be lower than it is now...all the way through his contract...even if we had signed Sanchez.
  14. ThePuck
    Looking to get a rotation of pitchers with no strikeout ability under a total cost of 5M a year. That's the goal :-)
  15. ThePuck
    last in Ks, least amount of walks allowed.....and 29th in BAA (30th in BAA for the starting pitchers)
  16. ThePuck
    That and they've been preaching a better delivery to home plate with runners on.
  17. ThePuck
    I've been high on Hicks for quite some time now...well before this ST...my thoughts haven't changed one bit.
  18. ThePuck
    I think the point is, defend Ryan's lack of spending at all costs.
  19. ThePuck
    I'm not really sure I get the sarcastic point you're making, but whatever.
  20. ThePuck
    It isn't. There is nothing stopping them from saying no more LH batting.
  21. ThePuck
    it's a shame...Mauer has is hitting .465 this month with 20 hits, 10 of them doubles, and he's only been able to get 5 RBI. Be nice if people were getting on base in front of him.
  22. ThePuck
    I don't know about magically. Didn't the switch hitting come about more to utilize his speed? Do you have stats about how he did as a RH batter against RH pitching and is it worse than what we're seeing him do as a LH hitter versus RH pitching?
  23. ThePuck
    Exactly...Buxton in CF with Hicks in RF and Arcia in LF.
  24. ThePuck
    he needs to stick to batting right handed.
  25. ThePuck
    As Blackjack said earlier on this thread: 'Terry Ryan said on Sid's show that Worley DOES have an option left. '
