I don't think he'll be traded. I think we'll see Leon or Vazquez traded.
-
Jeter's postseason OPS was 102.57% of his regular season OPS. Therefore, clutch. A-Rod's postseason OPS was 88.39% of his regular season OPS. Therefore, choke. (I'm not being entirely serious with that.)

Nice inning for Leon. -
LOL well played.
-
Would the Players Union let him do this?
-
I wonder what the statshounds would say if you asked them if they agree or disagree with this?
-
That was my comment. Just a dumb joke about Periscope sounding like porn...
-
They are paying him 11 million this year, correct? Let's say they trade him and have to eat 5 million of the 11 million, just for example. They have saved 6 million. So then the question is, how much will be the tax cost of paying the 5 million of his salary? I can't see it being 6 million or more. But there are non-monetary considerations of going over the tax threshold as well... Now you've got me doing this...
-
That might be a good point too...this stuff is getting complicated. Even our esteemed WEEI writers are getting all confused.
-
If Craig shows some signs of rebounding we might be able to trade him, as you say we'd have to eat some of it.
-
I think the plan was for Hanley to play first against lefty starters. Young would probably DH those games.
-
As Thunder says he was on the DL in July last year. We're not expected to score as many runs this year without Papi. I'd put the over/under at 60.
-
Cot's Contracts has us under by about $15 million. That piece by Bradford/Tomase is inexcusable gibberish.

Wow, that's impressive. -
I believe you're right. The MLBTR statement seems to be counting Castillo's full salary for 2017 for tax purposes.
-
Yes, I think we've actually reached a consensus that clutch is absence of choking rather than going to a higher level.
-
Being totally dismissive and bringing the Tooth Fairy into it doesn't really get us anywhere. Anecdotal evidence from current and former players is a legitimate source of information to be considered, although it has to be supported by some verifiable specifics.
-
I find it hard to believe we can't call Ortiz or Schilling clutch players. That's what seems a little ridiculous about this.
-
Sounds like porn.
-
Okay, choking and non-choking, then.
-
I love the quote I came across in one of the columns about this. Apparently it comes from the great Donald Rumsfeld. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
-
Not this one, it'll never be closed.
-
But choking does. We've agreed on that much, haven't we?
-
You're right in the sense that there are a pile of variables in the data, and the 'strength of opposition' has to be factored in. Analyzing this much data is a massive undertaking, that's for sure.

I think your giant red beard may be altering your personality.
