    Feltman might even pitch in the majors this year, although if he is closing it probably means something went horribly wrong. Either way I would think the goal is that he get some IP above A ball this year before he becomes an option...

    Play in vs play off? Wow. Who cares? It’s a one game winner take all scenario no matter how you label it. Tell you what - we’ll call it a “play-in” game when the Sox are in it but a “playoff” game when the Yankees are in one. That way you can maintain some hypocrisy about the whole scenario and have some minutiae to troll over. Happy?

    There is a “Fun with Baseball Names” thread on the General Baseball forum. And no baseball name ever is funnier than Tim Spooneybarger...

    And really going after the minutiae here. While it was a regular season game, that game in 1978 was constantly referred to as a “one game playoff.” And as it was a “winner take all,” it really served that purpose. Any sport that has a single game with high postseason stakes like that is often referred to as “effectively a playoff game.” It’s not really up for being teased about in the same fashion as Jacko saying the Yankees playoff hopes were decided by a diving catch that happened in a completely different series...

    If that was the case, Feltman would have been added to the 40 man roster...

    Really? If you’re limited to trolling about that level, your permit needs to be revoked. I mean, is this really the best you have?

    Kimbrel for 2/$36mill and then sign Allen for 1/$8....

    I couldn’t guarantee Encarnacion didn’t play there...

    So one season indicates a “trend”?

    The Sox and Yankees 1b situations both have potential to be the least productive in the American League outside of Baltimore. Debate does need to die...

    Better than Voit’s trend of minors, majors, minors, majors. What do you suppose is next? Or Bird’s trend of DL, DL, DL? Where does that pattern go next?

    Why? You really didn’t think I knew what a closer was?

    And I’m 176 games, he’s been worth 0.8 fWAR. His 311 plate appearances last year is the most he’s had in a season since 2015. He hasn’t been very good, but on the bright side he doesn’t play all that much...

    Kimbrel, Allen, Brach, Romo, and Boxberger plus several others with closing experience like Ottavino, Ramos, Madson, Johnson, Norris, Clippard and Kelley. Probably a few others as well...

    34 days until pitchers and catchers report...

    No idea. But it certainly makes sense for him to do so. Lots of closers on the market. The Cubs need one but seemingly can’t spend (which could also be a lie). Ditto for the Angels. This leaves the perennially budget-conscious Braves as the biggest rival. Better to bid against their terms...
  17. notin
    Very true. For example, GMs lie. You said so yourself on the Robertson thread...

    Regardless of your college teammate, the recovery for shortstops having TJ surgery is largely unknown at the MLB level...
  19. notin
    Your starting shortstop is Troy Tulowitzki. You sure you don’t need Machado?
  20. notin
    Was it also music to your ears when the same site reported the Yankees were the least aggressive in pursuit of Machado? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/01/al-notes-machado-yankees-tigers-white-sox.html

    I think this is the year for Alex Scherff...

    This system really does need Groome to stay healthy and start planning out...

    I’m calling you on the Happ/Price thing. Price did have 4.5 fWAR in 2016, a total Happ has never achieved. In fat, Eovaldi is clearly a better comp for Happ. In his last two “full” seasons, Eovaldi has been worth 5.4 fWAR with Happ worth 6.0. But Eovaldi is also 7 years younger. And Sabathia just had heart surgery. Is microfracture really the worst surgery on these two staffs?!!?

    I do get no respect out here...

    Nice touch...
