    He’d have been the number one on the Royals champ team.
  2. moonslav59
    And you post in caps: it’s a STRETCH, so what’s the difference?
  3. moonslav59
    No. It just seems absurd to think that and not say it when you say he’s a 2-3.
  4. moonslav59
    I’m sure they have some formula, and IMO they seem pretty accurate considering an expected difference of opinion. My guess is they use some sort of WAR type value x years minus contract costs. It’s not supposed to be perfect
  5. moonslav59
    The Card’s signing Gibson and Lynn looks like Bloom is their GM.
  6. moonslav59
    I’d say he’s a top #2 to mid or lower #1, but I guess many don’t see it like that.

    There doesn’t need to be, no, but Monty might be the number one SPer on over half the teams in MLB, so I can’t see how you can call him a number 3. How many teams have 2 SPers better than Monty in their rotation? There are some, but maybe less than 5, right? I could see wording it like this, “he should be the number 2 or 3 on a championship team.@
  8. moonslav59
    So, when someone says he’s a low 2 or high 3, they say that knowing just 15-25 pitchers might be better. The meaning they assign to those statements don’t make sense to me. Maybe they mean he’s a 2-3 on a pennant winning team.
  9. moonslav59
    It’s a way of placing a singular value on what a player of likely to be worth minus what he is paid or likely to be paid. That value, in theory, makes finding somewhat reasonable return packages could be. It beats fans saying let’s trade Dalbec, Reyes and Refsnyder for Cease.
  10. moonslav59
    How many teams have a number 1 better thanMonty? 8-14 maybe? Out of the ones that do, how many have a number two better than Monty? I don’t get the low #2 to high #3 designation. Are there really 45-75 pitchers better than Monty?
  11. moonslav59
    Nobody does. It’s my hope he’s the second best pitcher we add. It’s my guess he might end up better than the one we do get?
  12. moonslav59
    I’d go $120M/5 but $110M is probably closer to what most might agree as tops.
  13. moonslav59
    Strange question to ask. Weird that 8 people think he is actually worse than his W-L record.
  14. moonslav59
    These are the numbers from 2020-2023, where several pitchers had one really good year. Cease xFIP 3.78 in 21 3.50 in 22 4.08 in 23 23 looks a tiny bit more like the outlier.
  15. moonslav59
    His 3.78 xFIP since 2020 is just… 0.29 from Scherzer 0.18 from Nate 0.08 better than Verlander 0.11 better than ERod 0.19 better than Cease 0.23 better than Bassitt
  16. moonslav59
    Lynn and RLopez are off the boards.
  17. moonslav59
    Of course the word “good” is subjective, but there are 150 SPers slotted into the 30 teams inMLB, at any given moment in the season. There are higher categories than “good” to most people. Of course, anyone ca. set up their categories as they wish, but I would think one would be in a small minority, to think someone in the top 12-15 out of 150+ SPers is not in the “good” category. Even factoring wins and losses as a very important stat for a pitcher. I can’t see not thinking Monty is not a top 30 pitcher, at the very worst. If not being better than 4 out of 5 or more other pitchers us not “good,” then someone’s standards are set very highly.
  18. moonslav59
    Exactly. To many, your last 2-3 years tell more about what level player you are than career numbers. Monty has been almost equal to Bassett in almost all of the most meaningful categories except wins and losses.
  19. moonslav59
    Who said or implied “all of a sudden?”
  20. moonslav59
    I wasn’t critizing you for giving up on the Sox, so bringing up how I did in 22 is not related to my point that you ran away and called baseball watered down at just the moment the Sox were doing well. You came back just in time to pat yourself on the back and continue your “eye test” judgments despite admitting g you stopped watching. We did not say you stopped watching: you did. You then commented on the fact that you saw the box scores. It’s your own words.
  21. moonslav59
    I give content and strive to not misrepresent others views. You don’t. More facts.
  22. moonslav59
    I watched every game in 22, even after I wanted a fire sale. Witnesses, lmao. You left right when we were doing well and came back right when we sucked. I admit when I’m wrong, which has been often- to your delight. I’ll never see the same from you, and that is a fact.
  23. moonslav59
    My prediction was wrong. I found it funny you ran away when it looked like it might be right. I stayed when I was wrong. FYI, I don’t make trades onBTV to try and guess one that will come true. Once again, your assumptions are off base. I often fiddle around and submit some trades I would not sven like, but to just see what it might take to get a player mentioned by someone else. If I like a player from another team, I look at what return value it might take to get him. I feel it’s better than just saying” we need to trade for an ace,” without giving some kind of specific return package. Making general claims line that are hard to ever get wrong. Keep Patti g yourself on the back for being right about the Sox. Keep running away when you look to be wrong. Keep bashing fans that try to be optimistic and stick around through good and bad. Those are facts, too.
  24. moonslav59
    How often do you watch a full Sox game, closely? How often do you watch non Sox games in their entirety or otherwise? Has that changed much, recently, after the league became too overwhelmingly “watered down” to watch? Should we trust your recent eye test judgments as much as the days you watched more baseball? Do you think it was just a coincidence that you made the watered down comment and stopped watching baseball for a while at tge precise moment the Sox we’re doing pretty well?
  25. moonslav59
    I wasn’t referring to that. You responded to my post about him being a top 12-15 pitcher and being almost as good as anyone.
