  1. Haha... yeah it thinks Javier Baez is a 5.3-WAR player next year. Guess I won't look at that, again.
  2. Come on out Macklin, you sonofabitch.
  3. And only 1 K. Working deep counts and not striking out... http://rs1076.pbsrc.com/albums/w457/connienator27/faint.gif~c200
  4. Some fun with arbitrary end points and small sample sizes: Bryant over his last 12 games (46 PA), has a 19.6% K%. Also, his BABIP at Iowa is down to a somewhat more reasonable .372 and he still has an OPS of 1.050. And, holy [expletive], Oliver thinks he is already a 4.6-WAR player next year.
  5. Yeah, it's going to be tough for him to accrue that many RBI opportunities with Kris Bryant hitting 65 homers right in front of him in the order.
  6. I guess there are different ways to look at it, too. The Rizzo deal probably gives us the most excess value. But, we got a guy who currently has a 2.09 FIP for Scott freakin' Feldman.
  7. Voted Arrieta for Feldman, mainly because -- while an excellent trade -- the whole Rizzo thing is also great because of the early extension we got him to sign. That was the most genius move with Rizzo. I'm not trying to take anything away from trading an injury-prone pitcher for one of the top 10-15 hitters in the majors, though.
  8. And thanks for the welcome. The lurking discussion a few days back brought me out; I've been lurking since around the time the Theo tenure started. I have loved the discourse on this board, but usually just lurk in the shadows everywhere on the internet.
  9. Seems to point to simple supply and demand, too -- which, I guess, means it's a good thing that we have a cache of things that nobody in the league is willing to trade? Maybe I am wrong...
  10. Umm... wouldn't this argument be advocating to replicate Dombrowski and Beane, who built great offenses, knowing they could easily add pitching later? Or no?
