    You are a very experienced troll. I bow to the power of your troll-fu.

    What the f*** are Columbus Blue Jackets?

    What exactly was the opinion? What was I actually talking about?

    I am a Red Sox, Lakers, Patriots fan who does not give a s*** about golf. Also, I form my own opinions, condense my own thoughts and actually understand how the stats I cite work. Now, you can continue being a f***ing moron and indulging in personal attacks and stupid psychoanalysis attempts, or we can focus on the baseball aspect of the discussion. Focus on the subject, not me. Also, there's no "hindsight" involved. I've been saying since the off-season that they needed another pitcher, and was fine with them picking up Buch's option then trading him. In fact, I have said numerous times they should have traded him instead of Miley, if possible.

    It can't be nonsense if you don't understand it. Educate yourself on what's being talked about first, make moronic statements later.

    If you don't understand what it means, why are you commenting on it?

    Bro, do you even logic? Like, seriously? Price has suffered fro bad Aprils his most of his career yet he's a Cy-Young winning, consistent elite starter. Buchholz hasn't provided more than 160 IP and above-average run prevention numbers in a season since 2010. Do you honestly believe it possible to compare the expected results of both, especially with Buchholz' underlying peripherals? If you do, I have some bridges I have to sell you. For those 13 million, the Red Sox could have had Doug Fister AND Rich Hill.

    But better than making s*** up, which is what some uninformed people do. A uniform system is always better than random valuations.

    No, it means I watch the games, but I'm also smart enough to differentiate between a stellar pitching having a bad month and a s***** pitcher being s*****. I suggest you focus less on the former, and more on the latter.

    Ah, the "you don't watch the games" defense, the final bastion of nonsensical arguments. I think we're done here.
  14. User Name
    That happens if you can't align "value" with the very specific dynamics of baseball economics.

    Can't tell if trolling.....

    History says he will.

    That fan does not exist.

    Not the salary, but rather directly correlating salary with production percentages. Example: If player A makes double what player B makes, then player A needs to be 200% as good player B to justify his salary. Baseball economy doesn't work like that, in part because high-performing rookies would make essentially every contract unjustifiable, and because there's a point of statistical impossibility when you try to value players like this.

    Btw, I'm not appealing to the no true scottsman fallacy here. Just pointing out he doesn't fit the mold of the type of guy the team was being built around.

    Panda is a low OBP/bad plate discipline/low athleticism guy. The complete opposite of the signings/draft strategy Cherington employed during his short tenure here. Food for thought.
  21. User Name
    The problem is that you can't assign value in a vacuum like that. This detracts from the overall point.

    Altcheck is on the same level as Andrews in the field of sports medicine, and has also performed many notable TJS's over the years. In fact, Altcheck and Andrews are professional acquaintances and have written at least one book on sports medicine together. Smith is in good hands.

    I agree with the overall point being correct, but using pitcher wins distorts actual value way too much. Wright's a good example of a starter who has dominated so far but can't buy a win.
  24. User Name
    Wins are not an accurate tool to assess a pitcher's value in any way, shape of form.
  25. User Name
    Yes, right now they both are significantly below value. Saying either is slightly below their value is an affront to logic.
