Double whammy is not the right terminology. If the contract by itself was an overpay, it would be a double whammy.
-
It was stupid stuff for Cash to say on record-classic bulletin board material. I don't think DD would say something like that.
-
But if the runner gets picked off or thrown out at second the defense wins. Creating distraction in itself doesn't mean much.
-
Attaboy Cash. Helping your team in every way!
-
This is a big part of modern baseball managing philosophy. Thread-worthy.
-
If George was still alive Girardi would already have been re-hired.
-
Yankees 0-5 in August. Nice work at the deadline, Cash, you shrewd little bugger!
-
Nicely done.
-
Sometimes trades end up just being garbage for garbage.
-
I approve of this post.
-
This is a case where it seems obvious that what you say must be true, but you also need to have some stats bear it out. And they do apparently keep stats on this s***, which seems a little crazy, but not really surprising.

Yankee fans all over Boone about his passiveness, as displayed in the 9th yesterday when Walker got rung up on a questionable call and got into it with the ump. Boone was just chewing his gum the whole time, as one poster put it.
-
The thing about stolen bases is you need a high success % to make it a plus. The Sox are definitely doing that this year.
-
Moncada is striking out at an incredible rate - it's higher than Mark Reynolds rate when he set the all-time K record of 223.
-
All factored into WAR though.
-
Screw that, man. Stomp 'em when they're down!
-
He did have surgery and he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
-
But as you alluded to with the Masterson reference, sometimes you make the wrong picks. And you can do this when you're spending big too. HanRam, Panda, Castillo cost a quarter billion after all.
-
Any GM could have signed Koji Uehara before the 2013 season too. Does Ben deserve a lot of credit for being the guy who actually did it? Damn right IMO. If you can't give someone credit for pulling the trigger on a good move, what can you give credit for?
-
Instead of just popping questions, why not just supply the answer if you have it. But you'll have to expand this to how many teams could put together a comparable package including packages of 3 or 4.
-
Yeah right. That's exactly what I said.
-
Obviously. Do you think it was an overpay?
-
I think FanGraphs would argue yes. They have an 8 WAR player worth about $65 million. Factor in present value considerations and all that, and I'd say you're winning or breaking even.
-
You believe that we overpaid for Sale?
-
No, I think there's a whole other point. Credit should be given for seizing a great opportunity. Supposedly many other GM's could have gotten Sale too. But guess what, they didn't. They were snoozing, I guess.
