WFT?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd put a friendly wager on Spivey outproducing the Cubs 2nd base position if he's healthy the season. Especially if it holds true that Perez, Hairston, and Walker will be competing at spring training or platooning.

 

I'll take that wager.

 

PECOTA for Spivey:

 

248/322/410 WARP 1.7

 

PECOTA for Walker:

280/341/425 WARP 2.5

 

PECOTA for Hairston:

268/342/387 WARP 2.2

 

PECOTA for Perez

264/296/364 WARP 2.4

 

I like my chances that Walker and Hairston will play enough to have the Cubs 2b outproduce Spivey. Spivey isn't really that good.

 

How about the loser buys the winner the cap of their choice?

 

You initially said that you liked your chances Walker and Hairston will play enough. Another wild card in the equation is Spivey gets off to a slow start or loses his starting slot due to injury, no there's no telling if Luna or Miles will steal time from him.

 

How about this? I'll take the wager with your injury caveat as long as the bet is cancelled if Walker is traded before the end of ST.

OK, the above stats, BA, OBP, SLG? As long as you're open to addtl. wagers if the bet is canceled :D ?

 

So we have deal is void if Walker is traded or Spivey is injured for longer than 3 wks. No other caveats, if it's close in the three stats, how do we decide?

 

Prize is Cubs or Cards hat of choice.

I'm not opposed to OPS, but I don't want BA to get too much weight (and it shouldn't anyway), as Spivey most likely will lose that category to any of your three. I'm fine with BA, OBP, SLG though.

Congrats on your new hat, Vance.

In all logic, this should be the case, as Neifi by himself could at least hang close enough to Spivey's stats that Walker and Hairston drive the average numbers over it. However, stranger things have happened to Cardinal players.

UGH, anybody else dissapointed the title got changed, I was hoping that would catch on.
