People are allowed to have whatever opinion they think to be true. It's unfair to expect everyone else to look at something the exact same way you do.
-
Again, you can't sign everyone. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017-mlb-free-agent-tracker/positions-rp There are still a few guys with closing experience available (Holland, Papelbon, Joe Smith, Sergio Romo) that could be better than Storen.
-
Drew Storen is ok, but I'm not sure the upside is there. He's a guy you get to fill out your bullpen and I'm not sure he's better than what we have now. You can't sign everyone.
-
inappropriate!
-
If he looks good in ST, you keep him and cross your fingers and toes.
-
It never works out that way, unfortunately.
-
Bertrand, LOL...
-
But you can say "he has sucked so far." You just can't say he'll always suck.
-
55 games in 2014 is a larger sample size than 57 in 2016. Now that's some fuzzy math.
-
You can make definitive judgements on past performance as that book is closed. If a guy goes 0-25 in the World Series, you can't say "well we don't definitively know how his WS was." Yes, we do. It sucked.
-
I made a definitive judgement about his 2016 performance. It was not very good. I didn't make any judgements about his future performance aside from saying he needs to be better. His defense wasn't great. Plain and simple. I provided statstical analysis to back up my feelings.
-
Is Kimbrel's wildness because of Leon's difficulty catching the heat or is Leon's difficulty catching the heat due to Kimbrel's wildness?
-
SP depth should always be a concern. I hope Owens can be a little more reliable this year.
-
Sure he has the upside, but he needs to show it for it to be real.
-
I think you're being too charitable to CV. He was a worse pitch framer than Evan Gattis last year and had a lower CS%. Sandy Leon had a better DWAR even when factoring in the additional games and also had a lower CS%. Sandy's CERA was also .40 less when receiving the same pitchers as CV.
-
To me, an 0-20 streak is barely a blip on the radar. That's just a 4-5 game sample. I don't consider streaks to be anything of note until the batter is about two weeks in. I would agree that randomness would cause a bad homestand. However, it's more likely due to something else once you're 10 games in.
-
I think luck is the smallest part of the equation. If a guy is squaring up the ball and hitting line drives, he's more likely to get on a hot streak or pull himself out of a cold one.
-
If CV was as good behind the plate as we hoped he'd be, I don't think there'd be much discussion on who the starting C would be. Right now though, his defense has taken a step back AND he can't really hit. He has a long way to go before he can be a premier C.
-
Yeah, at this point, I'd be more interested in finding ways to strengthen the bench and options at AAA than going for a big signing. If Bautista was 3 years younger, I'd jump at him though.
-
Not that I take a huge stock in clubhouse stuff, but a lot of MLB guys hate Joey Bats.
-
Their stadium will still be half empty all year.
-
So 2013 was still Theo's team then? Without a WS, Ben looks even worse!
-
Because of interleague play didn't exist in 1994 and the internet was still in its infancy. We have a lot more information at our fingertips these days rather than just the daily boxscore.
-
He was pretty damn good in 95 and 96 too.
-
Didn't we have a better version of this trade already when we got Pedro from the Expos?
