    he does yoga? make that 5/80

    i wouldn't be too devastated by McCann money, minus a year, but i don't have intimate knowledge of our finances

    And the years before this one? I'm ok with signing Martin, but I'm not ok with going crazy to do it. in 2013, he was a 4+ win player, even ignoring framing - we didn't have a 4-win player that year - his BB rate would have been 2nd on the Cubs that year bonus: our backup C had less than -1 WAR this season; 40 games of Castillo would project as a multiple-win upgrade over that, to say nothing of the monumental upgrade at the starter role

    - fangraphs doesn't care about pitch framing and they considered Russell Martin 5+ WAR player this year; Rizzo was the only Cubs hitter above 3 - Martin was 2nd in the NL in OBP - his BB rate would have led the Cubs this year and then you start to look into pitch framing, where he's assuredly a multitude of runs/wins better than what we had behind the plate

    if he's a strong comparable to Griffin, he likely left $100+ million on the table by pursuing baseball

    i actually do have a long-standing unfounded theory about teams comprised of high-contact players faring much better in the postseason, which is anecdotally supported by some of the successes that guys like Sandoval, Carpenter, Ortiz, Eckstein, Scutaro have had but 2011 Texas sort of runs counter to that theory, some

    Denard & Forsett

    if deplorable contact rates throughout the minors are considered part of that recency, then i'm guilty as charged
  9. sneakypower
    he's had six RA9-WAR seasons
  10. sneakypower
    he's about to make some bodies turn cold
  11. sneakypower
    and as i recall, i think, he kinda liked it

    lost by 2, now left with an uphill climb for playoff contention and i'm left cursing stupid [expletive] like Mike McCoy's decision to go for it on 4th down instead of taking the points
  14. sneakypower
    he's right, though; Jason La Canfora too closely resembles the Two and a Half Men kid to be taken seriously
  15. sneakypower
    that sweet 7-win difference between Vitters+Stewart and Ramirez in '12 is precisely why we have Kris Bryant right now
  16. sneakypower
    well as it turns out Edelman was a top-10 performer this week, so oops

    he'll get McCann money- 5/85

    sign Brett Anderson forever, and get Weeks to platoon some with Alcantara after swapping Baez for Hamels/CarGo/Stanton (partly)
  23. sneakypower
    if Gordon runs that out like he's Pete Rose, sure, he probably scores, but he'll have a long, long time to think about it
  24. sneakypower
    And I'd bet against the 2014 Giants to win the World Series every [expletive] time (I realize that statement isn't actually saying much but you get my point) i don't disagree with either of these points too much, and while they've got MadBum, Posey, Pence as 3 awesome pillars, Belt & Crawford are nice pieces, there's just so little else there beyond that, even at the high minors
  25. sneakypower
    question: is Edelman droppable? with Gronk blowing up, LaFell's been great, Vereen is involved, Wright's there too...he's kind of a lesser Keenan Allen it's starting to seem like; just running those stupid crossing routes, piling up meaningless targets to end up with useless 4/44/0 games not only that, but with 2 WR spots and a flex, i can't see him being a top 3 option amongst this list: Antonio Brown Mike Wallace Brandon LaFell JOSH GORDON Brown's Bye coincides with Gordon's return, and i'll have to flex a RB during LaFell's bye regardless, so i'm not seeing a situation where i'll need to play him going forward note: i'd probably pick up a speculative RB like Rainey or stash a dropped stud IDP on a bye to replace his spot
