That's all very true, dgale. On the other side of the coin, an average major league baseball player has a very short career as such.
-
Really? A few weeks ago I think we would have happily jumped all over that. It's just over half of Boras's original ask. I think all this waiting is just starting to make us a little sour.
-
Which is why it seems unlikely any team will go much more than 5/125 for JDM. As we've been talking about, the data heads seem to have taken over the thinking of FO's.
-
JDM has at least been consistently mashing for 4 years now.
-
Indeed. No matter what you do, you're rolling the dice.
-
Darvish himself tweeted that the Yankees made an offer but it wasn't 7/160.
-
mvp is a humorist.
-
Cobb might be a good get. Health concerns obviously.
-
Not sure...what I was wondering is if he's better or worse than JDM out there.
-
Morrison has played some outfield.
-
I'm pretty sure Dombrowski won't let it drag out that far. Boras has so many guys still unsigned...it's really getting a bit nutty.
-
This is just another rumor, isn't it?
-
The only problem is that JD might then give up and sign a relative bargain deal and Sox fans will be screaming bloody murder about a lack of patience and smarts and so on.
-
Yes, Cano's contract is probably marginally less irresponsible.
-
Also, major league baseball itself is fiscally irresponsible.
-
Any idea how much the M's are paying Cano after he turns 37?
-
OTOH, what exactly is JD's negotiating position? At the moment he doesn't have a job for 2018.
-
Statistical information can only tell us what happened in the past. With players who have been up and down, you can plug their data into models and come up with projections that are more valid than someone throwing darts at a board. But that's about it.
-
It's all guesswork.
-
Then there's that Seinfeld episode where George is told by the doctor that his test results are negative, and George is going 'Negative? Oh no, Lord, why me?'
-
I have always found the word 'remission' a strange one. It sounds like a bad thing but it's actually a very good thing.
-
Normally I would too, but this has been such a weird offseason and there are so many unsigned big name players, I don't think anyone really knows exactly what's going on.
-
But if nobody moves their offer, he'll have to budge. Two can play at the waiting game. Hopefully Dombrowski is tending to some other matters like pitching depth.
-
Not a noodle bat, no. But about half his value came from defense.
-
You made the statement that players with high offensive output typically get paid more. I don't think there's anything to base that on. I think the paradigm has changed and it's reflected in a guy like Heyward getting $184 million.
