IMO Alex Speier doesn't need to have played much baseball to be good at what he does, any more than Dave Dombrowski does.
-
It is surprising that Iglesias hasn't signed with anyone. But welcome to the new sucky offseasons.
-
But having your first pick moved from the 30th spot to 40th spot shouldn't entirely destroy your draft, should it?
-
Cue Swihart hitting .425 with a few dingers in the spring.
-
Agreed. No one trades for Leon. My guess is that no one is very interested in any of our catchers right now and that's why we still have three of them.
-
My option was left out of the poll - No Freakin' Idea!
-
But no one averages 7 innings a start anymore.
-
Nobody really knows an ace is, exactly. From my discussions on baseball forums over the years, the pitchers most people think of as aces are on a Hall of Fame track-guys like Kershaw and Verlander. So there really aren't very many of them.
-
How about Hal Steinbrenner?
-
I read all Sale's comments about Kimbrel and Pedroia et cetera. They were all bang on.
-
Very sad news.
-
They were being super cautious with him, there's no question about that.
-
He doesn't have to look like an athlete, because all he has to do is sit around the house, while his beard grows and cobwebs grow on his phone. The only way this movie can work is as a sick comedy, after all.
-
Who have we got for Kimbrel...Seth Rogen perhaps?
-
Not the way you usually see guys finish the season injured. When last seen he was blowing away Manny Machado and striking out the side and joining the dog pile...
-
You can say that about most aces, I think.
-
Just keep it all in perspective and keep your sense of humor...it should all just be for amusement. I like debating a lot of this stuff but I have a pretty old school attitude in many ways. Like you I respect team wins and losses above everything.
-
The small samples play a huge part in the apparent inconsistency, of course. A reliever pitches one inning, gives up one run, that's a crappy stat line. If he was a starter he would at least have a chance to make it look better.
-
But it's the gibberish that enables these long drawn-out debates that some of us seem to draw entertainment from.
-
How about Cashman? Slasher says Buscemi...I'm thinking maybe Steve Carell.
-
This extension that the Phillies did with Nola is an interesting one. Essentially it adds 2 years of control for them. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/02/phillies-nearing-extension-with-aaron-nola.html

I've seen some Yankee fans on another forum jokingly refer to their team as '2018 Luxury Tax Champs'. (Yes, some Yankee fans actually have a sense of humor.)
-
It's not really saying what players are worth, although that's the way we tend to interpret it. Once you understand what it really represents you look at it differently. That's my take, anyway.
-
Dammit, now I'm trying to think of an actor who looks something like Dombrowski. James Woods, maybe? Tom Hanks would be better suited to play Theo Epstein. (Yes, I'm from the school that it helps when the actor looks like the real life character they're playing.)
-
What they did after the signing. That's exactly why the dollar values seem so inflated. They're real values in the sense that they measure what teams are paying on average to a free agent for a win. So it includes all the dead money like Pablo.
