    Just because I think your opinion is absurd, doesn’t mean I don’t understand it, or know you’ve held the idea for years.

    What does $300M have to do with DD and Nola?
  3. moonslav59
    A pitcher who lets up less runs is more likely to lead a team to a win, if all else is equal, as in run support and the D behind him.
  4. moonslav59
    You do realise teams win and lose. Why not apply w-l to every player to some extent?
  5. moonslav59
    Didn’t seem like you understood when you all capped STRETCH. We understand your view. A 25-5 pitcher with a 3.75 ERA is as good or better than a 10-20 pitcher with a2.00 ERA. It’s not hard to understand you, when you use your words in common ways.

    He’d be the number one Jordan on all MLB teams.

    Some talk of trading to STL for Donovan, but what about the better defender Edman?
  9. moonslav59
    He’d have been the number one on the Royals champ team.
  10. moonslav59
    And you post in caps: it’s a STRETCH, so what’s the difference?
  11. moonslav59
    No. It just seems absurd to think that and not say it when you say he’s a 2-3.
  12. 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
  13. moonslav59
    The Card’s signing Gibson and Lynn looks like Bloom is their GM.
  14. moonslav59
    I’d say he’s a top #2 to mid or lower #1, but I guess many don’t see it like that.
  15. moonslav59
    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.@
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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?
  20. moonslav59
    I’d go $120M/5 but $110M is probably closer to what most might agree as tops.
  21. moonslav59
    Strange question to ask. Weird that 8 people think he is actually worse than his W-L record.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. moonslav59
    Lynn and RLopez are off the boards.
  25. 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.
