    Except they always left Craig in to get the last out.
  2. moonslav59
    Good one!
  3. moonslav59
    Best closer in MLB!

    Cora the magician.

    This is like Kimbrel, his last year here.

    Hey, Joey Votto only needs nine thousand- nine hundred and...
  7. moonslav59
    Fair enough.
  8. moonslav59
    I'm guessing 1 more means 3,000, but my math has been off, recently.

    Does what he said make sense, at all, to what we were talking about? The rates of hit or miss has nothing to do with contract sizes. That does not mean contract sizes are not an issue, and just because I replied to a comment about our FA SP'er signings not being very good by supplying the contract amounts does not do anything to change the hit or miss rate debate. Eovaldi and Lackey were not misses. Many feel Price was not. Same with Dempster. He chose to bring the contracts of the Sox SP'ers into the debate, and I just responded to that point. Was he saying the Sox example was setting an example that starters miss more than RP'er?

    Many of the top FA RP'ers signed recently were disasters due to injury, too. It's part of the risk, but also part of the "miss factor." I get that the contract makes their misses more acceptable, but it doesn't change the idea that they miss more often. Afterall, most are RP'ers because they weren't good enough to be starters, although that notion is changing, and we're only talking about the top FA pitchers signed, recently. I know a lot of starters have "missed," many due to injuries, and I have said I'd rather we trade for a good to great SP'er than sign one, but I still think they miss less often than the best RP'er signings each year. The list I provided has a whole lot of complete failures and many nearly complete failures. Some, like Chapman and Jensen, from like 5 years ago did well, but the vast majority failed.

    Making no sense, again.
  12. moonslav59
    I'm not sure the OBP will be sustainable in the bigs, but it's nice seeing him improve in that area.

    If you saw his last 2.2 IP, you might have thought he looked okay. It was his first 1.1 IP that did him and the Sox in.
  15. moonslav59
    WAR speaks for itself, too. If you just read what it is.
  16. moonslav59
    You never said that, and no they don't. The game scorer decides what's a hit. Park dimensions often decide what's a homer. OPS, one you mentioned as a choice, double counts some stats. Just defend you statements with supporting details. That's something we teach in middle school.
  17. moonslav59
    and truthful, yes.
  18. moonslav59
    You need to take a course in logic. All I said was that SP'ers were not as hit and miss as RP'ers. I never said it was better money spent. You read too much into simple statements.
  19. moonslav59
    We'd be in great shape without Eovaldi. That makes total sense. I concede. You win. IMO, we should trade for starters. It works better for us, but that doesn't change the fact that starters don't miss as much as RP'ers. I'e also said, I'd rather we signed one better pitcher than 2-3 question marks- like Perez & Richards, last year and Paxton, Wacha and Hill, this year. (I was actually against signing most of the best FA pitchers, this year, because I did not see any "wow" starters, except for Scherzer and Verlander on shorter deals.)

    Where would JD have batted, if healthy? I say 4th and everyone else moves down a notch. I kinda like Kike 6th, until he heats it up when summer rolls in, then, maybe move him to 2nd or 5th.
  21. moonslav59
    I never mentioned anything about the cost of a flopping SP'er outweighing that of RP'ers, just the hit-or-miss factor.
  22. moonslav59
    Where did I say signing starters was a sure bet? I just inferred they were less hit or miss than RP'ers. The Sox examples are not indicative of MLB, as a whole, and counting just free agents, like I think the debate was referencing, discounts the Beckett, Pedro, Porcello and many other extensions, but here are our biggest FA pitching singings: Eovaldi -Good Price- Not so good, but some argue otherwise Lackey- Pretty good Dempster- Many thought it worked out fine Clement- disaster If you want to count Paxton, Richards & Masterson, then is skews downward. Look, lots of SP'ers flopped or got hurt, too, but I think significantly more did better than top FA RP'ers did over the last 4-6 years.
  23. moonslav59
    You want ERAs or OPS against for 75% or more of the names I listed? You know most sucked, but you won't admit it.
  24. moonslav59
    I thought the names spoke for themselves.
  25. moonslav59
    Explain why they are better. That's how a discussion works.
