    And yet TX, who has no pitching, moved him to RP, and then let him go. I'm sure TX has plenty of data too. Hoping and wishcasting is fine, but let's not pretend that he's likely to become Arrieta. That's super rare.

    My main issue is that they aimed low. Again.
  3. Mike Sixel
    This.

    I have lost some confidence in Gordon, but to say this is a make or break year is off. He's 22. In AAA. Fangraphs has reasonable confidence in Jeffers staying a catcher. I too hope they are aggressive with both catchers.
  5. Mike Sixel
    They have a plethora of guys in AAA and AA who need a look, because they have one guy under contract past this year. Perez means they will gather less information, all for the upside of a good number five.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Yup, that makes sense. thanks to you and spycake!
  7. Mike Sixel
    why the Marlins won't allow teams to negotiate an extension. that decreases their leverage, and their likely return.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I've been trying to figure out why they'd do this, and can't.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Parker should be replacing the guys behind Pressley......they need 7-8 RPs. IMO, of course.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Buxton is less valuable at 1B, than in CF......the defensive adjustment shows that. You can easily replace Cron/Austin's defense with the other (or Kepler, or Sano or lots of players), but how do you easily replace the defense Buxton supplies? Certainly not with Cron or Austin........
  11. Mike Sixel
    A great set up man, followed by a better catcher, followed by another good RP.....moves aren't in a vacuum. Your question seems to be: should we care they don't add one more good player, if one more good player won't help them win it all. IMO, we should care if they have good players, and are always adding more good players. Maybe in 3 years these guys will matter. In the meantime, the FO decided not to sign FA RPs, and I'm guessing we'll see 3-4 guys throw negative WAR innings, all of which Pressley could have absorbed.

    It isn't the money, it's the roster spot, and not gathering information on the four or five guys now behind him. And if four teams were bidding on him, his agent did a bad job getting money.

    Given that first base, DH, types barely get paid, and up the middle players get more and aren't out of work as much, I'd hypothesize that teams place more value, and find those players harder too replace.... Which is the point. How hard are they to replace? It's much harder to replace up the middle defenders than first basemen..... Hence, they get an adjustment in the calculation.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They could use a good RP this year, on a team projected to win 82-84 games. When do they play for the present? Take their worst relievers, and replace those innings with Pressley...
  15. Mike Sixel
    DFA DeJong......that lasted about as long as their Rule V pickups....
  16. Mike Sixel
    DeJong DFA to make room for Perez. One heck of a trade.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention a federal legal investigation into their international practices....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I guess I don't get teh fear with Gibson at 33 or so. By that argument, you never sign a FA pitcher, because that's pretty much how old they are. they literally have 1 pitcher under control past this year with any real MLB experience. And, as we see with this FO, somehow Perez is who they think is a good idea to sign. Not to mention the two Rule V guys they wasted spots on.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Tru dat
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great post.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Neither of which is close to as good as him. Which is the point. I'd like actual good players here, not affordable ones.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It is a very deep system.....let's hope they have improved the development side.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Of course....this all started with someone saying they can "easily" replace him FA next year if he leaves....
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one claims WAR is perfect. But to say it is arbitrary is a disservice to the very smart people working on it every day. Including every front office, who have their own versions.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The Dodgers have all stars at third and short. One of whom was injured last year, so they traded for Machado. It isn't about anything more than that. And cheapness, of course.
