    He has been bouncing around for the last few years.

    Cash for Cecchini-- probably enough to cover JH's wine bill tonight.

    But the numbers don't always tell the the whole story. And sometimes the numbers don't compare apples to apples. Numbers by themselves are objective, but their interpretation is often biased.
  4. a700hitter
    And those who take the opposite view don't think they are being biased either so you shouldn't characterize their views as such.
  5. a700hitter
    I guess that we will not have to concern ourselves with Maeda.

    A 24 year old starter who can give you 200 innings and pitch to a 3 ERA is a valuable commodity.

    Me too. It would have been great to have landed Miller too. D-Back fans are also having fun adding Greinke and Miller. Yankees are rumored to be going young. After landing Castro, they are rumored to be going after Ozina and Jose Fernandez. That would piss me off.

    So your opposing view in this case about Price's contract is biased?
  9. a700hitter
    Such stress.
  10. a700hitter
    So then you also must be biased by taking the opposing view.
  11. a700hitter
    The D-Backs have added Shelby Miller to Greinke in revamping their staff
  12. a700hitter
    Warren and a PTBNL

    The other shoe has dropped. We don't know who the Yankees are trading.

    Bias and hypocrite ascribe a bad motive other than just having an opinion. Her position as supported by the stats is not so strong as to invalidate other opinions by ascribing bad motives to those opinions. The stats don't take into account fit, chemistry and other dynamics that are not easily measurable with stats.

    Zpbrist to the Cubs. The Cubs will have to move a middle infielder. Let's wait for the next shoe to drop.
  16. a700hitter
    Why would people be biased against those guys? I don't get it. Maybe it is just their opinion.

    I have never argued that Buchholz's contract was an overpay. His predictable long DL stints are very disruptive to the rotation and the team. It is hard to replace him for half the season with a pitcher of comparable quality. I would rather have a durable pitcher of somewhat lesser quality, as over the long haul of the season, I believe that reliability is very important. While I have never argued that Bucholz contract is an overpay, I don't think that it is such a bargain as to be a slam dunk to pick up his option, because of the cascading negative effect of his unreliability upon the remainder of the staff. Do WAR stats take into consideration those dynamics?
  18. a700hitter
    Especially when your last meaningful game was prior to the All Star break.
  19. a700hitter
    No cherry picking. Iwakuma has averaged 164 innings per year while Buchholz is averaging 126 innings per year. There is no getting around that.
  20. a700hitter
    How are those people being biased, and who are they biased against?
  21. a700hitter
    In 4 seasons with Seattle, Iwakuma had back to back seasons where he pitched 219 innings and 179 innings. In 9 seasons, Buchholz has never put up back to back seasons with more than 113 innings and he has never thrown 200 innings.
  22. a700hitter
    The Yankees are reportedly on discussions with the Cubs for Starlin Castro possibly for Gardner.
  23. a700hitter
    I wonder if DD will post for Maeda. I also wonder whether they have any interest in Cliff Lee as an expensive dumpster dive for 1 season.
  24. a700hitter
    It was uncanny that they never scored for him. I followed most of his starts over the second half of the season. He either achieved or challenged some mark for consecutive winless starts.
  25. a700hitter
    Maybe DD can pull off the deal.
