  1. Thunder gets the #1 slot as young stud, with Max in the bullpen as the crafty old reliever.
  2. You can try to figure that out from Moon's list above. What's the best configuration of 12 you can come up with? With many of these guys a lot depends on how they look between now and the end of the season. Certainly it would be nice to have at least 1 guy in the bullpen (such as E-Rod) who can go long.
  3. His line after 6 innings was good.
  4. $20 X 5 is clearly too much IMO. Especially since we're seeing signs of stuff diminishing.
  5. No one should care about regular season records. Let the Mariners keep it. What do people remember about that Mariners season? Great record, no cigar.
  6. Not sure why you're questioning Kimbrel warming up when Kelly was making things interesting.
  7. To be fair, they didn't know anything about Clemens while he played for them.
  8. Yes, believe it or not.
  9. Definitely some interesting ball and strike calls so far in this one.
  10. Johnson had the Jays fishing big time that inning.
  11. Let's compare bullpen salaries, Cubs vs. Red Sox. Top 5 salaries based on AAV: Cubs Morrow 10,500,000 Cishek 6,500,000 Strop 5,925,000 Wilson 4,250,000 Duensing 3,200,000 30,375,000 Red Sox Kimbrel 13,000,000 Kelly 3,825,000 Thornburg 2,050,000 Smith 850,000 Barnes 605,000 20,330,000 So who's the big bullpen spender? Looks like it's the GOAT.
  12. We can get him?
  13. But the big picture on Rivera is: 96 postseason games/141 IP with that 0.70 ERA 7 League Championships 5 World Series Championships
  14. I certainly can't speak for what Atlanta's thinking was. It looks like the main objective on this deal was to cut payroll. They did offload a fair amount of payroll between Upton and Kimbrel.
  15. Theo Epstein has generally been willing to pay top dollar or close to it for his closer. That says a lot to me.
  16. You are touching on something that IMO accounts for a lot of the suspicion many fans have with a stat like UZR. It's a phantom. We can't see it.
  17. On the flip side of that, signing Keith Foulke worked out pretty good. There are never any guarantees no matter what you do.
  18. notin's analysis was a tad incomplete because he didn't include all the dollar figures. The Atlanta-San Diego Kimbrel trade was a whole different animal. In trading Kimbrel Atlanta unloaded the final 3 years of Melvin Upton's colossal bust contract. It appears this saved them about $50 million.
  19. Thunder Magic rolls on. He's even winning the ugly ones.
  20. Fair analysis but why not finish it off with the remaining dollars on Upton vs. Quentin/Maybin for the total picture?
  21. He sure did. And a certain clinching opportunity in 2004 as well. Overall his postseason numbers were absolutely insane though. A 0.70 ERA and a .76 WHIP in 141 innings.
