    No, it can't be simple. Everyone is out to get "us" and screw "us" over.

    It's not on the red Sox. They aren't wrong for doing this. If they don't like his medicals, the deal needs changing or cancelling. That's how sports deals work. I think this reinforces what some of us thought about Gaterol and his long term value.....

    They could have drafted one of those guys, paid Enlow, and not incurred any penalties........ How big do you want the sample before it is evidence? Because they've not been drafting pitchers early, and they won't sign the expensive FA starters......and apparently can't trade from their excess for starters.....They better be great at development.
  4. Mike Sixel
    that was the point.......
  5. Mike Sixel
    They won 86 games last year......And the WS the year before. I'm not sure I understand this narrative that they can't compete.

    The Ryu ship sailed, so I don't get this......they couldn't get Ryu, apparently.....

    I don't know....it's pretty much a rounding error after this year.....and Zips has him MUCH better this year. If he was in MN, he'd be in teh bullpen, we already know that. So, I'd go with bullpen estimates for his value to this team.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I guess it depends on if you want the fWAR sooner rather than later, and if you want it from a starter more than a RP.........because this is about this year and next year way more than years 3-6 from now.

    What ace is out there right now? they still have plenty of prospects to deal at the deadline, if there is a great pitcher out there. Plenty.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Now at least the Red Sox can make their payroll. I was worried they would go broke.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Certainly unexpected. Four years of a guy that has been good or better in the majors for six years of a guy that hasn't really pitched in the majors. It seems to make sense. As chief said, if you won't pay in free agency, this is the price you pay.

    It's not unique to this to have different ways to measure the same thing.....For example, what is the fastest pinewood derby car? The one that races one time at half the time as all the others, and breaks? Or the one that wins the finals? Is the BEST baseball team really the WS winner, or is it more likely the regular season best record is the best team (there are league that award those two things differently)? I could probably spend hours typing up examples of "measuring the same thing" that use different processes for that measurement. Here's an easy one, does water boil at 212 degrees, or 100?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Like, I don't understand the post. No one has said they can't enjoy baseball w/o stats. No one.
  14. Mike Sixel
    You must be reading different sites than me. I never see that. Outside TD.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    There are. They don't show any type of perfection, that would be unrealistic to expect. But yes, there are studies about rankings and eventual value. Again,, if you think they are bunk, why bother?
  16. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea what this post means? Not one person here has said they only enjoy skills if they can be measured. Really. Not one person.

    Motley Fool loves ISRG.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If I watch it, I'll want to subscribe....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Wish I had cash. Would have made four percent yesterday.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    true, imo. Players are more than willing to cheat to win.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That's not the late season update. I never said he was top 100, so not sure of your argument. Look, if people think the list are bunk, with no statistics to back up their belief, that's fine with me. Then why bother reading and arguing about them?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Fascinating. Well done.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I agree......and I share your disappointment, but mine is mild.
  24. Mike Sixel
    "never" "black and white"? We must not be reading the same threads and wrietups........like, not even close. Arraez was the 6th rated prospect in MN on Fangraphs last year, for example.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've decided over the years to just assume movies and books are different, and to not judge if they are close to each other in canon. I enjoy more things than I used to, because I don't put my expectations on them. To be clear, this is about judging things like this, not from one movie to another in a series. That said, I'd have liked more analysis also. But that's not the show, so I'll just enjoy it for what it is. Not saying my approach is right or not, it's just how I've changed over the years.
