What does everyone see in Valbuena? an acceptable baseball player. You won't find much of that here. It's admirable that he seems to be able to work a count, but it doesn't usually amount to much. I feel like there's plenty of Valbuena acceptance around these parts.

Don't we all? That place freaks me out at night; too many areas of the city seem completely deserted. I've never been to Pittsburgh, but that's exactly how I felt about Cincinnati when I went for a couple of Cubs games in 08 and I was there on Friday and Saturday nights. Feels like a zombie apocalypse has happened and nobody told me. and then the sun goes down

NFL Offseason/Coaching Carousel/non-playoff talk
jersey cubs fan replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
He's also one of the highest paid QBs. And he's been a very average QB for a while now. I think very highly of the Ravens' front officer (Ozzie Newsome is the best GM in football), but they paid Flacco because he has a ring on his finger. That's it. I meant in what it measures - both look at an amount that a player is over a specified point. For WAR it's replacement, for DVOA it's average. If you're questioning the reliability, that's a legit argument, but in this case the more traditional stats match the advanced one. You are missing the whole GD point that you can't just dial up an average NFL QB. They aren't replacement players. They aren't 3rd starters in your rotation. They aren't prospects spending 6 years developing in your minor leagues and forced to play for the minimum their first three years. You can't replace one expensive one for two affordable ones and get similar production. It's the most important position in the game and without a competent one your team will blow and you will all lose your jobs. Tom Brady was just an average QB for years who got paid because of the rings then he pretty much dominated. I would hate for my team to go out and sign Flacco as their QB in some sort of effort to be a savior, but if the Bears win the Super Bowl this year and Cutler signs an even bigger deal I would be plenty happy. You pay QBs, or you spend a decade looking for his replacement. -
NFL Offseason/Coaching Carousel/non-playoff talk

If you overpay a QB he's going to be one of the highest paid players in the NFL. No getting around it. Then just wait 2 years when a dozen other guys sign bigger deals. Not even close. -
castro is going to get hurt on the freaking basepaths

140% success rate

is 400 hits too far?

Robot umps and an NL DH would be like, 12,000 Christmas mornings rolled into one for me. I like the robot ump idea on its own merits but love it all that much more to hear kyle fret about not being able to celebrate in real time

DeJesus would have caught that

lillibridge has a Matt Clement thing going there.

Yeah, like a half dozen of 'em but there's no point in starting their arb clocks and service time to fill the role.
