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.
-
That's cherry-pickin' though. What about Encarnacion - how does he fit into your model?
-
Regression is kind of a confusing word because it implies going backward. But one of the definitions is 'return to a previous place'. That's the meaning that's being used - going back to when things were better, basically.
-
That's it - Ortiz was paid VERY well? Okay, I guess that settles that! Your statement was: "Player's with high offensive output typically get paid more." Is there any data to back this up, or did you just pull it out of the air?
-
Says who? See Jason Heyward, David Ortiz, Edwin Encarnacion etc.
-
Not me. I hope the surgery was a great success.
-
Good one LOL
-
That projection for JDM was quite fair. If we can get him for less we'll be doing OK. Not to belabor the point (LOL), but Boras's 7/210 statement was patently absurd and didn't accomplish anything IMO
-
If we had lots of money to play with and some prospects to trade it would certainly would be worth considering. But we're limited in both areas so we have to prioritize. Our top priorities should be a bat and a starting pitcher. We'll have to get by at second base with Hernandez, Holt or whoever...unless and until we find out Pedroia's recovery is not going according to schedule. IMHO
-
I think that's exactly what's going on.
-
Everyone would take the under on that one.
-
Those FanGraph dollar figures aren't actually supposed to represent an earned value. But they do reflect a real number - the historic average cost per fWAR of all actual free agents.
-
Great stuff, harmony, thanks. If this isn't good enough for mvp I don't know what would be. One little footnote which you are probably aware of is that prior to signing this extension which runs 2014-2021, Pedroia was already under contract tor 2014 and the team held an option on him for 2015.
-
What data exactly are you looking for?
-
Below market based on his fWAR and other measures, no? You can't necessarily get a good comp just from others at the same position.
