  1. It's been reported by multiple sources that Paxton's 2022 AAV is actually only $5.6 million.
  2. There never really was any such rule about 30 year old pitchers. I think Henry made one comment about it, and we've been running with it for years. It's no wonder he doesn't like to say much.
  3. Teams do tend to look unmotivated when they're losing. You can blame it on Cora if you want. I think he did what he could, considering his starting rotation was decimated by injuries and his bullpen was mostly a pigpen.
  4. Rodon and Syndergaard actually have similar profiles. Both right around 30 years old, both with about 850 MLB innings under their belts, both with around 16.5 bWAR. We have to sign somebody like these one of these two. notin's guy Snell also has a very similar profile to these two.
  5. Four possible ways to acquire a pitcher: 1) Draft and develop. 2) Trade. 3) Free agent signing for real money. 4) Dumpster dive.
  6. I still think Syndergaard is worth considering. His numbers this year are nothing spectacular, but that should keep the cost from being exorbitant.
  7. How many free agent pitchers aren't Buyer Beware?
  8. What about a trade for Rodon? I don't know, it's only one year with an AAV of $22 mill. You'd have to sign him to an extension to make it worth it.
  9. Pretty much. And if you're going to be paying all that money to Tatis, Soto and Machado, you better have some pitching too.
  10. The Jays are our daddy.
  11. What makes you think San Diego wants to trade him? They're in their window and have been spending freely.
  12. I was just replying to the statement that a starter is only as good as his last start.
  13. That's just another way of saying the Recency Effect is powerful.
  14. It's worth a lot. He's a much cheaper version of Porcello.
  15. And what makes you say that? He's got the numbers of a 3/4 starter. They haven't changed all that much.
  16. My guesses: -Long term appreciation of the asset is the primary objective. -Yearly net income matters, but the main thing is avoiding repeated losses. -Henry is disappointed about 2022 but wasn't unprepared for it.
  17. We're so cynical about these things. And I'm including myself in that.
  18. In the first group, Lester was a big departure, changing their offer from $70 mill to $135 mill. In the last group, add Schilling in 2008.
  19. It's not a different JH. That's where you're wrong.
  20. Oh I get all that. Who are the slam-dunk pitchers available at reasonable cost?
  21. The Paxton dice roll cost $5.5 mill on the tax payroll. Not really a huge amount.
  22. There was no rancor, nothing serious at least.
