    well, your point was that a FO has data that is different than YEARS of study by multiple people. This isn't an area where a team has private data that doesn't publicly exist, either. So if your point wasn't about Fangraphs, what kind of data can you even imagine a team might have that doesn't exist in the public that would show all the studies to be wrong?

    punish the kids for the sins of the super rich! good idea! I prefer a much larger pool, like in the past where bad teams get more money. Really, I prefer a thing like a draft and a pool for both IFA and US born players........ The worst teams get, say, 10MM and can sign 1-3 players (no more than 3). Say, the ten worst teams. Players can sign or not, but if they don't, they go into the next pool where the next ten teams have $5MM to spend on 1-3 players.....then the next pool is basically unlimited, but no player can get more than $1MM, and no team can sign more than, say, 3 for that money, and the rest all get 100-500K. Every player has more control over where they go, and more players get more money. Those are rough numbers requiring more precision, and I'd lower that pool for IFA. For IFA from other professional leagues, who are 18+....probably just put them in the US pool.....

    seems odd to have Gee and Mejia on the roster, unless he's really going all in on matchup usage? No idea....
  4. Mike Sixel
    Except that the data is clear, there is no evidence that "mowing them down" two times thru the order reduces the odds of the third time thru the order penalty. It's easily disputed by looking at the odds of ESan doing that, vs using Berrios and Hildy and Belisle in relief, and not suffering the penalties for third and fourth time thru the order.
  5. Mike Sixel
    good points all around. I wasn't thinking of Berrios when I typed that up..... The formula in the short season is different than the full season, but the Twins don't have the bullpen to take advantage of that.
  6. Mike Sixel
    why? Why not use even more pitchers, and manage matchups more than you would in the regular season? Really, ESan should go thru the order twice, and come out.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Very much agreed.
  8. Mike Sixel
    whoa! That would be huge. And not surprising in the least.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Must be in some link blocked at work.....but no Sano is sort of a surprise. However, if his timing is off, and can't run at all.....not totally.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I admit it might be my most misunderstood belief....
  11. Mike Sixel
    pretty much every team does that, they just don't put it on paper, and they don't have FO infighting to expose it.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    90 shots in 10 seconds.......that is the frequency according to analysis of the event. You were saying?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Wow, that could be a lucky break to some team that just traded for 500K in IFA money.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, they are missing the single most important position in all of sports probably (unless "star" is a position in the NBA). Then, to cap that off, the guy that could take pressure off that loss was lost. And no, they don't deserve any leeway. They've ignored the OL for years, and drafted Trae bleeping Waynes instead of Marcus Peters. $#@^%$#@^^
  15. Mike Sixel
    If only it was "fangraphs" and not years of study and data from multiple places......sigh.
  16. Mike Sixel
    heh, I did an entire series of posts in a game thread last year about how bad most of his songs were.....I literally listened to them on Spotify during the game, and commented. So much mediocrity....
  17. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the update.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Contrary to what we've been told, good players will be available there. Finding one is tricky. Let's hope they do it.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Pre-reviews are BRUTAL.
  20. Mike Sixel
    great post, seriously.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think any player signed under these violations should be a FA......and get to keep whatever money they have from ATL already.
  22. Mike Sixel
    There's a 2nd bunny's? Huh. gameday, I'd guess, for me.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I do find it funny that someone thinks calling a person "warring" for justice is an insult. Shouldn't we all be doing that?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Seems to work in every other part of the civilized world but here. Every. Single. Other. Country.

    Huh, I thought this was a thread to appreciate how great Glen Perkins was......and he was great there for some time. Really great.
