  1. My theory is that analytics have no real way to account for significant differences between recent data and longer term data.
  2. How does this add anything to a discussion?
  3. "Baggins, we hates it forever!"
  4. What is that third baseman's WAR since the trade though?
  5. Yep, the $20's add up all too quickly.
  6. You are hereby appointed the new Cooler.
  7. Works either way...
  8. Some are purer than others. This one is like Walter White's meth.
  9. Ball bouncing off Jose's bean and into the stands, like Manny's high-five play, should have a place on the Top Ten Baseball Plays of All Time.
  10. Cora not having interest in the job is pure speculation.
  11. That's what it comes down to, I think.
  12. Merloni thinks Bloom doesn't want Cora, and the meeting with him was mostly a professional courtesy.
  13. Previous 6 appearances Oct 9-24 9.2 IP 7 ER 13 H 4 BB 5 K 3 HR
  14. I certainly understand the principle there. The only issue is with how the analytics can take into account the conditions in play in that specific game. Such as the fact that Anderson had clearly been struggling in recent outings. Alex Speier (who said that pulling Snell was defensible in itself) said Anderson wasn't the same pitcher as he was in the regular season, and therefore was not an upgrade over Snell, so he disagreed with that part. I will also say that I'm no longer discussing this for the purpose of proving how wrong Cash was. It's time to give the man a break. I'm just interested in the analytical part of it.
  15. We don't forget details like that, us Sox fans.
  16. Don't want to hijack the thread? Hell man, that's what we do best here. IMHO what Springer gets is a moot point, where the Red Sox are concerned. We're in the market for a Pillar or Marisnick this year. Pitching, pitching, pitching is what Bloom will be focused on.
  17. If Springer does get 120 million, that would only be 40% of Harper and Machado, of course, or 180 million less.
  18. MLBTR's rankings: 1. Bauer 4/128 2. Realmuto 5/125 3. Springer 5/125 4. Ozuna 4/72 I'd say Springer makes the cut.
  19. Sure, he might. My guess is that a few of the premier free agents will get multi-year offers that are too much to pass up in these uncertain times. That seems to be what MLBTR is speculating as well.
  20. I'm sure the guys at MLBTR took into consideration the expected down market. Their guess is $125 mill, and your guess is $68 mill. Something to watch.
  21. Pillar has been a good value over his career. FanGraphs has his career dollar value at $103 million. B-R has his career earnings at about $15 million.
  22. The issue isn't so much the draft pick. MLBTR predicts he will get 5 years/125 million, and that looks like it's being discounted a little for the COVID-19 factor. So that's 25 mill a year tacked onto the payroll. Springer is an excellent player that every team would love to have. But I would rather see that kind of money allocated to pitching.
