    im expecting a big deal, don't know why but whenev were we're in the race, 2/3's the last 5 years hendry has pulled a huge suprise trade.

    I still don't think the Yankees are far back enough for them to start making deals to trade their best player away. They've been on a tear in july, going 14-6, and are facing, @KC, @BAL, CWS, KC, @TOR, these next couple weeks. I think they are in the mode of chasing role players, or maybe an SP like oswalt.

    In general, this makes sense, but the argument you're giving is fairly abstract. It is possible, for instance, that Jon Daniels is an emotional man who would want to make sure that Sammy stays happy no matter where he is, or that Daniels made a verbal agreement with Sosa and is unwilling to break it without Sosa's consent. Although it is true that NTC-less players have no negotiating leverage built into their contracts, other factors sometimes apply. But there you go, you said it yourself. Sosa isn't the reason, it's the GM's. It's Ultimately them that decide what he wants to do with a player without an NTC. I dunno, it seems sort of facile to say that it depends only on the GM in a situation where the GM has decided to defer to the player. When a GM binds his future options by making a promise to a player, he gives up some of his decisionmaking power. When a GM promises a player that he will make every effort to accomodate him, then, insofar as the GM is honest, he has indeed transferred some power to the player. Fair enough, but I don't believe that to be the case here, where Sosa was who had to pitch to the GM, not the other way around.

    we do have that and it's at 57 percent. Ahh yes, that stat. What exactly is the formula for it?
  24. Jazz
    they'd probably value him alot more if he could get some playing time. which in turn would raise his value up with us, thus defeating set train of thought :P

    That's the problem. They may just be "marginal" upgrades but when you're around 89-90 runs each win brings your chances of making the playoffs up so much. All wins aren't created equally. Wins between 88 and 92 are the most valuable in baseball, economically and on the field wise. are you saying a win in april isn't as important as a win in september? No. I'm saying this: http://www.hardballtimes.com/images/uploads/Pennants_Added_2.gif we're we are at it looks like each win makes the probability we play in october go up 10%. Yes I'll definately agree with that. But ehh, marginal upgrades quickly into marginal downgrades sometimes. I like impact better =\. But you're probably right. I wish there was a chart though that could give us a prediction based on the recent swing of winning we're having. Not based on our rate since June or so, but some kind of probability based on the schedule and predicted success.
