  1. Maybe so. But we all know the Rays have done well with their openers and bullpen games. It is what it is. The game has changed.
  2. Do you count Roenicke?
  3. Valdez picked a bad time for his first poor outing.
  4. I'm not brimming with confidence either. Sometimes you need things to go differently than you expect them to go LOL
  5. What you said was Also, you can add pieces during the season- like Eovaldi and Pearce in 2018, to put you over the top, so no, you don't have to be one of the best to start the season. The last part makes no sense in the context of your argument.
  6. Hill vs. McClanahan Let's score some runs and win.
  7. The Rays trotted out an "opener" again last night, and it seemed to work.
  8. LOL wut? I hope you're not implying that Cora is dumb because Whitlock hasn't been officially anointed as a starter yet.
  9. Not very well expressed, because we were one of the best to start the 2018 season.
  10. moon believes you have to be one of the top teams on paper at the start of the year. He just has a different philosophy.
  11. He could easily find himself swapped to the pen. He had a good year last year, but his contract status and patchy pedigree makes him fungible.
  12. Whitlock and Houck should both be in the rotation.
  13. All options are open.
  14. But the WAR thing is only in connection with the bonus pool for pre-arb players, which is NEW spending, no?
  15. Because Sale 29 mill Eovaldi 17 mill Price 16 mill Payroll for tax purposes 242 mill
  16. There are only so many slices in the pie. Our 2022 pie is costing about $240 mill as it is.
  17. I think he would probably just get the Jeopardy treatment and be absent when the cheques are handed out.
  18. Right, and it also does tricky things like try to weed out luck factors, correct?
  19. The concept behind WAR is quite logical. Positive plays and negative plays are translated into runs. Every 10 runs is estimated to be worth 1 win. It's just an estimate of a player's total contributions.
  20. Richards 1.0 fWAR in 2021 Perez 1.0 total fWAR in 2020-2021 - 1.4 seasons Both minor busts.
  21. But you start out by saying Bloom is 1 for 5, so the messaging is a bit muddy.
  22. How would we be feeling about it right now if we re-signed E-Rod for 77 million?
  23. Paxton hasn't done a damn thing!
  24. Personally I look at all his acquisitions in totality. As for the 5 you listed, the only clear bust was Richards.
  25. notin didn't say, or mean, team wins and losses are irrelevant per se, but they're irrelevant to the matter at hand, which is individual performance.
