Many a buffet owner has tried...

Exactly. Who pegged the Brewers for home field throughout the NL playoffs? This is a team that was 5 games out in early September. Anything can happen at this point...
-
There are two ways to look at that "long time." 1. It's been 4 weeks. 2. It;s been 7.2 innings pitched. So while the calendar says it has been a long time, the IP sample size really doesn't...

Cubs, Guardians, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Royals, Brewers, Twins, and Mets off the top of my head. Not all will be willing to pay for Kimbrel, but certainly some can afford him. And there is always a team or two willing to move their closer to a set up role and upgrade the position...

But a high percentage have not had TJS twice before turning 27....

He also has major durability issues...
-
The postseason is way beyond scouting. It goes deep into data-driven analytics at this point...
-
Well when you watch a team play everyday, it gets easier to find all their flaws. And when rarely see a team, you rarely see their flaws. So therefore the team you watch less is less flawed and a better team...

Workman hasn’t been very good lately, either. If it is down to Kelly or Workman, I think I take Kelly. While he is inconsistent, when he’s on, he’s unhittable. When Workman is on, he's not as good. It comes down to “higher ceiling vs higher floor.” Kelly has the higher ceiling but Workman has the higher floor. I would hope Poyner makes it...

There is a big difference between “can’t win” and “didn’t win.” If DD goes out rebuilding a team that won 107 games, he will learn the obvious - that it’s much easier to make the team worse than better. Tweak where needed. Keep the core intact...

I NEVER EVER want to see the Yankees win. If a super-race of aliens came to Earth from Alpha Centauri or wherever and challenged the Yankees to a Space Jam style game where, if the aliens won, they would enslave the entire human race, I’d still have trouble rooting for the Yankees...

Severino got beat up in the wild card game last year, and it didn’t matter much...
-
The Mets were in their second year of existence at the time...

Cursory research says t's been done at least 6 times since 1900, with the most recent being the 1962 Mets, who finished 60.5 games back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worst_Major_League_Baseball_season_records
-
He might be holding back. These last few games mean nothing and his primary goal should be to get back in game shape without getting hurt...
-
He had one other game this year with that velocity. It was against Atlanta. While the Braves did get 6 runs against him, he still managed to strike out 8 hitters in 4.1 IP...

And any of them would be an easily defensible candidate for MVP if they were in the National League...
-
They should have removed his right to vote for violating the established voting regulations...
-
If it's a choice between the two, it's a question with no wrong answer...

Or Trout...

Is it really hard to find? Lindor is outstanding, but how much better is he over Correa, Seager, Machado (still only 26!!), Baez, Story, Turner , Bogaerts, Grigorius or Simmons? Even if he is the best, the drop off among the top 10 shortstops might not be so significant...
-
I'm still in Magoo Mode. Where is Pedroia (who makes $15mill mext year) on this list?
-
King claimed he did not think a pitcher should be eligible for the award despite the rules for MVP voting explicitly stating pitchers are eligible. That interpretation of the rules came about rather suddenly, as he had voted for David Wells (then with the Yankees) the previous season. Total Boston bias...
-
1. $10.5mill to players not on the 40-man roster? Do they now count against the luxury tax? Castillo makes more than that amount on his own. 2. I'd be surprised if Smith got arnitration at all. Thornburg is an interesting case that I could see go eiither way. But if set up man is on the wish list, he might be a cheaper alternative than free agency. 3. On the "major holes" list, really, it's just closer and some possible bench stuff, but most of those holes might be with the team already. Also, as much as I don't like it, if the Sox have to move a player making some cash, Bradley is the most likely candidate...

I wouldn't give the leader the MVP award outright, just like in the pre-sabermetric days, I wouldn't give the award outright to the home run leader or the RBI leader. But using WAR, you can get a list of the best 3 or 4 or 5 candidates and work from there...
