There was a time wins were more meaningful. Times change. It's just the way she goes.
-
Coincidentally enough, 1987 was the classic Nolie 8-16, 2.76 year!
-
It would be very "That's baseball for ya".
-
Innings pitched OPSa K/BB ratio HR rate WHIP ERA+ or - (over large samples)
-
Yeah, but some things are just obvious. Like the Phillies giving 172 million to a guy who's 32-31 in his last 3 seasons. That's just a plain old fact.
-
One more time - Aaron Nola was 32-31 in his last 3 seasons. That's an average record of 10.7-10.3. Dombrowski gave him a contract for 7 years and 172 million. And as far as I know, you think Dombrowski is a good CBO. You really have no counterargument to this. Because there isn't one.
-
So a 10% variance seems reasonable no?
-
C then!
-
"Ace" is the most hopelessly abused term is sports.
-
Pettitte?
-
But you guys have no answer for things like the Nola-Wacha comparison. You just try to sweep it under the carpet or something.
-
Those numerous others don't seem to be readily available to the 2024 team.
-
It's not just the wins, it's the W-L spread and % that Old Schoolers still love. I mean, Mike Wacha's 25-6 record over the last 2 years is a fun number, but it doesn't mean he's the guy you want instead of Nola or Montgomery...
-
I really and truly believe you can do things that are good for both baseball and PR. For example, the Sox extending Mookie Betts would have been wicked good PR...
-
If an Old Schooler still likes to cite ERA, I get that. But I don't get still thinking W-L record is a big deal. If W-L record really matters to you, you must think it's absolutely insane how much more money Nola got than Wacha did.
-
OK, you and Denny are the co-chairs of the "W-L record still really matters" committee here. Aaron Nola is 32-31 over the last 3 seasons. DD must have been clean out of his mind paying him 172 million!
-
An official offer is an official signed-off legal document much like an offer to buy a house, right? It's binding, and if the other side signs too, it's a deal, pending the inspection etc.
-
The Sox could end up looking very smart here. They could still end up looking incredibly stupid and cheap, too.
-
No one has a clue. I'm just not sure what's stopping the Red Sox from making an offer, like the Yanks reportedly did with Snell.
-
All of them?
-
Just for fun sometime we should have a look at what the Red Sox rosters this century would have looked like if you removed all the free agents...
-
Bauer has multiple incidents on his resume, on and off the field - none of them illegal, but in sum he just seems like a guy who's way more trouble than he's worth. And his skills may not be there any more either. But the Red Sox can't sign any of these guys.
-
It would be publicized plenty by the Boston media.
-
The PR factor is certainly very clear cut...
-
I thought she was on her way to Vanderbilt soon, but I'm a little shaky on my WAG fact sheets.
