    It's not really worth arguing over, frankly. They spent whatever they thought they'd save on Nolasco on Santiago. A decision I endorse.

    typical lazy IT guy... again, j/k. On a call right now boiling my blood about IT hours...

    good stuff, both here and 1500! thanks Seth.

    Have you ever read anything other than this, on FG, ESPN, CBS, here, or anywhere? I haven't. And, as I pointed out, that's what they communicate, and hence what we know. We can't really know anything else other than what they say, and what they do.

    Baseball teams don't carry money over year to year, they operate on an annual basis, not carrying over unspent "capital" to future years like some other businesses do. So, if htey don't spend it this year, they just pocket it. That's what teams have communicated quite broadly over the last few years on many websites and interviews.

    We'll disagree. Why one would be ok, and one not, is beyond me. Either you are worried about "honest" competition w/o drugs, and player safety, or you aren't. IMO, of course. And it wasn't just greenies. And steroids were actively used in the 70s, we just didn't know/care...

    If they aren't in the majors this year, at this age, something went wrong again, imo. very wrong.
  8. Mike Sixel
    He will be if he waits 2 months....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Well, every team has pretty much said they operate on an annual budget, this is not unique to the Twins.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I see a zero percent chance on this one.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    There won't be an internet in 3 years. Hope you all know how to hunt. j/k. It's a great site. What was the 500,000th post?

    I've heard a few of them in the last couple years. For some reason, Delta shelved their video that was a bit humorous, and went all serious again. Assuming lawyers and FAA were the cause....

    It's funny how uptight some people get, when you use counting stats to talk about the past and outcomes, as if more predictive stats tell the same story. They don't. different stats are used for different stories.

    PSA: 89.3 The Current is streaming Prince all day. I now return you to snark and bickering....and chief jokes.

    I actually thought about adopting Meyer and Hu in adopt a prospect. Then I realized I was too lazy....but a thread of "who they let go" the last 4 year or so might be interesting. OTOH, it might just be a bunch of whining, another reason I didn't.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Correct, I'd say this stat is elegant, whereas WPA is not.....I prefer elegant.

    Still kicking myself for not going downtown that night.

    I've thought about this a lot the last couple days, waffling back and forth. Lots of good arguments made on this thread, both ways. I'm sticking to my earlier post. If I ran the Twins*, I'd keep him in the bullpen. I'd use him in the way that fireman used to be used to be used. I'd use him in the 6-8th innings, 1-2 innings at a time, in games where it was a close score. I'd want to get 100ish innings out of him. Getting 2/3 as many innings as most starters, but mostly in high leverage situations, would make him about as valuable as a good starter. Actually, I've been arguing teams should do this more and more, where pitchers pitch 2-3 innings max, and you plan to use 3-5 pitchers every game. Most teams don't have 4 good starters, let alone 8. They would greatly benefit by having guys that can pitch 2-3 innings at a time to go with their 3 good starters. But, that's serious outside the box thinking... *forgot to add this! It's good for everyone I don't. IIRTT.

    It was a joke. See my sig. And yes, he actually wrote something, I was lazy and pretty much just put it out there. I actually think Molitor appears to be acting this way this year, which if true, combined with less bunting, I'd not kill them for keeping him around. So much of what a manager actually does is hidden from us, that bullpen use and PH/PR use are about all we can really judge.

    89.3 is streaming Prince all day today.....

    Not to mention all the drugs done in the 50s and 60s that people conveniently try to pretend weren't PEDs.....in the overly pretentious way that only baseball fans can do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Of course, there is a whole thread someone else started in teh MLB Baseball forum, that apparently no one that owns this site noticed....
  23. Mike Sixel
    So much love for that article. so much good snark, great writing, and a good concept. The best part is near the end, when he shows how thinking this way would actually lead to better use of RPs. Right now, managers and players are incented to do silly things, because of the save stat.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I don't have any idea if it meaningful. But I have previously questioned some of the older players in AA.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Sano is currently 20th in fWAR, and you think only on potential? Uhhhh. Hmmm.
