He’s not walking away from all that money. There’s a better chance he tracks you down next offseason and cuts you a check for 25mill than there is of him retiring just so DD can get somebody for the bullpen...
-
DD is looking for the next Brasier. Runzler throws about 96 mph. Ellington is closer to 98-99 mph...
-
As he is a professional he should be more accurate...
-
Reyes might be able to see MLB innings this year...
-
I know there’s no such thing as a bad minor league contract. But Runzler has throw 7 MLB innings since 2011. The Giants DFAd Derek Law today, who is far more intriguing than Runzler...
-
I don’t think there has been an off-season this slow since 1868...
-
Actually 9 teams have signed a free agent for longer than 2 years, per the MLBTR free agent tracker. So his count is off as that leaves 21 teams that haven’t...
-
It is for a guy who can’t hit outside of Denver and can’t field his position...

Has it really? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/04/rockies-extend-charlie-blackmon.html

And a Met by February...

K Was that so hard?
-
Well we could talk about all the new faces in the clubhouse. I think the attendants staff is bringing on a new intern. I hope he works out. Also I hear they’re switching from Tide to Gain. I’m not so sure I like this. Tide was good enough last year; why mess with what’s working?
-
Koji is a stretch at age 43. And Eckersley has already thrown a no hitter in MLB before Koji was even born...
-
Koji didn’t even start pitching for the Sox until he was 38. Kimbrel’s desired contract this off-season that’s every team apparently thinks was too long would have only taken him through age 36...
-
You’re right!! Career ERA is the best stat EVER!!! I can’t believe anyone even came up with other stats!!! Why it not only tells you how good a pitcher is, but it also does windows and makes a fine dessert topping!! And the best thing about it - it cannot be improved upon because it is solely based on pitcher ability!!! It’s so perfect, next to it perfection itself is a giant pile of poop!!!
-
If the odds were something like Boston 45%, New York 30%, Tampa 20%, Others 5%, then you’re simply playing favorites by taking Boston over NY, but taking the field over Boston...

February 1. Still unsigned. Think Philly got that offer in yet?
-
But how much better are the Yankees and Rays? The Yankees finished EIGHT GAMES behind the Sox last year. Do your additions - which so far is just Paxton, Ottavino, LaMahieu and a half season of Britton - make up an eight game difference? Especially factoring in the losses of Robertson and at least a half season of Grigorius? Even if your adds make the Yankees four games better and the Sox (and only the Sox, because apparently Yankees never regress) are 3 games worse, that’s still not enough...
-
And if we were to go to a Yankee board, all the enthusiasm would be grounded in reality, right?
-
Preventing runs might be the pitcher’s goal, but he shares that goal with 8 other defensive players whose contributions exist but are very tough to distinguish. But if I’m judging a career, I’m ok with career ERA. It’s readily understood. But depending how long that career is, it might not be the most representative of what a player can do tomorrow...
-
Pitching for an entire career in Coors or Petco, or eve just a large chunk of it, doesn’t get “ironed out” in career ERA...
-
DRA is old and hard to find. I think FIP, xFIP and SIERA are all good measures...
-
And even if Kimbrel does come in with men on base, those runs get charged on someone else’s ERA, allowing him to kee that pristine 0.00...
-
Ok. I suppose 1b and 2b are two other reasonable candidates...
-
But is catcher the Sox weakest position, which is not the same as a weakness?
