    33 MLB catchers has 300 or more PAs. Castro was 20th in fWAR and 22nd in wRC+ 14 MLB catchers with 400 or more PAs. Castro was 10th in fWAR and 9th in wRC+ Our pitching staff was 11th out of 15 AL teams. Was our staff being so, um, high (?) in the rankings due to Castro or a full season of Berrios?

    Yeah, Kruk likes the win stat for pitchers. Maybe in a few years, when he is in his 60s, he will be asked to join the Modern ERA committee, which just elected Morris to the HOF. No one under 60 on that 16 member committee. Ages ranged anywhere for 60 to over 80. Average age of the committee members around 72.

    Old guy (Rodney) and reclamation project (Pineda). The inexpensive bottom of barrel types. The low risk,medium reward bin we love to shop in.

    So Bard, a first round pick in 2012 was left unprotected as was Stewart (another first round pick, 2013). Whatever happened with Michael, Harrison, Boyd, and Wimmer (some more of our first rounders since 2010)?

    Yeah, fWAR wasn't even around until 2008. And it was the original WAR stat. bWAR came in 2010. That is why I find it funny when people blame WAR for Morris not making it. WAR wasn't even a thing for like thee first 7 or 8 of the years Morris was on the ballot. WAR wasn't taken seriously till he had been on the ballot for about 10, 11 years. Anyway, problem is, the only old school stat Bartolo had on Santana was wins. For the rest of them (ERA, WHIP, Strikeouts, IP, K/9, SHO, CG, QS) Santana destroyed him. It should have been Santana, then Rivera, and Colon somewhere around 5th or 6th. Colon won because HE 'won' over 20 games. Getting a full run of support more than Santana helped Colon's cause :-)

    Indians have had either the #1 or #2 rotation the AL five years running. And overall in that time frame, they have been number one. Conversely, a team like the Red Sox, often known for offense, has bounced all over the rankings on offense in the last five years. 7th in 2017, 1st in 2016, 8th in 2015, 10th in 2014, and 1st in 2013. Or, our offense was 9th in runs scored the first half of last season, and 1st in the 2nd half.

    All I was saying is too many people just look at the players without taking into consideration salary, age or years of control. And it all needs to be considered.

    I've given Sano plenty of respect in regards to his bat. PLENTY. I don't think it's fair to say I am finally giving him respect just because I don't find him to be a good defender and I say so. I give him credit for what he does well and I point out his issues on defense. Heck, I even gave him credit for his effort in RF when they made the horrible decision to put him out there. Yeah, he was bad, but It wasn't HIS fault it was so bad. If you feel that it's unfair to point out a player's weaknesses, I don't know what to say to that.

    Porthos: 'Rortvedt. Isn't that a smelly kind of cheese?'
  10. jimmer
    ugh
  11. jimmer
    Well, I did say 4 OR MORE. Also possible he doesn't want to stay there since he wants to be a SS and they keep putting him at 3B. Who knows.
  12. jimmer
    It would be awesome. Big time hoping! It would be out biggest FA signing by far.
  13. jimmer
    IF they could figure out a way to extend him before the trade was finalized? Cause 4 or more years of Machado, I'd take that for those two pitchers.
  14. jimmer
    I doubt it, but we would get one year of Machado.
  15. jimmer
    Exactly this. And not to mention, though Longoria doesn't have a MONSTER contract, that has to be included when talking about value (an average of 17M a year if you count the buyout for 2023) So it's 32 year old Longoria (owed 17M a year over the next 5 years) + Archer (and his 8.5M a year over 4 years) for Sano (who isn't arbitration eligible yet) + Gonzalves who still has 6 years of control.

    its funny cause the person who asked the question was asking Erica if you were the Twins would you take it? and Eric answered in the POV of the Pirates.
  17. jimmer
    thats assuming he would take that and I wouldnt make that assumption. Hes going to get a big raise in arbitration this year and likely next. Then he will have just turned 29 as a FA.That extension suggestion is way below what he would get between arbitration and FA. That is my major concern. Is we get him and he is gone after two years.
  18. jimmer
    yeah, only having him for 2 years is the big reason I would balk at this. If I was sure the team would extend him right away, that would change things, but dont see Cole doing that.
  19. jimmer
    Not sure how I feel. I know I have never been high on Gordon (I hated it when we drafted him as high as we did and nothing has changed my mind) and it seems everytime I express my doubts about him, I am getting told I am wrong. But now we are okay with giving up 6 years of a guy thats been spouted to be an above average shortstop (a position of need for years and, if he is that, provides immense value) and Jay (another guy I didnt like from the beginning based on how high we drafted him and another guy I was knocked often for not liking) for two years of Cole? Id want someone who we would have for longer than two years, especially if Jay and Gordon are going to be as good as so many said.
  20. jimmer
    For only 2 years of Gerrtt Cole? I understand the dire need for pitching we have, but it would be Cole for two years and then he's gone. Two questions: Do we really think we have a window now? What do we think we have in Gordon?
  21. jimmer
    I really like Yelich, who comes with 5 years of control.
  22. jimmer
    it was,monetarily, not a big FA signing.
  23. jimmer
    Wait, Castro was a big signing? Anyway, when I say the big dogs eat first, I meant when it comes to the quality of players. I cant imagine we get a player like Darvish. It never even occured to me we would get Ohtani. We shop in the Cobb/Lynn type bins. They arent exactly top notch guys, but those guys we can afford to overpay to get while still not being too big of a contract by todays standards.
  24. jimmer
    We are going to get scraps. That's what we do. The big dogs eat first.

    Why are we bringing up Ryan in this? This is about the new front office. Ryan is gone. No need to slam Ryan OR preemptively defend him either.
