So that answers that part of it...Goff going to The Game. Maybe Kaplan died? I just turned on Kap and Haugh for a few minutes for grins, and they were arguing about the ancient Manti Te'o story...timely. Guessing it's in relation to the USC story
-
Is Baseruns proprietary? I see the link to this year's numbers, but can't find anything further on previous standings in my admittedly brief search. I'd like to see more to what he's saying rather than here are 11 teams that are in the same arbitrary range of underperformance and how they've done. Cameron has more than lost the benefit of the doubt from me when it comes to data manipulation.

Dave Cameron suggested the Giants move Lincecum to closer because his numbers are better with the bases empty.

Dumb nah if we get to assume that jason hammel is going to put up a sub 3 ERA for another year and a half (plus samardzija doing what he was which is less ridiculous but still unlikely), i'll go ahead and project something resembling barry larkin numbers out of russell for all the years we control him That wasn't the exercise.
-
Huh, didn't realize how far back the White Sox fell. We have the same record now.
-
Dumb
-
i'd rather imagine addison russell in our farm system with those last two omitted You'd rather a prospect than 2 full seasons of sub-3 ERA from starting pitchers?
-
how hard is it for a "professional" tv guy to look up a dude's numbers He probably did look it up, saw that he had 21 and 33 BBs the past 2 years, and thought "wow... this guy walks as much as Castro does." He probably looked him up and thought "wow...this guy is darker than Castro is."

Is Josh Hancock available? -
Don't give Brett any ideas

8/26 Cubs (Wood) @ Reds (Cueto) 6:10 pm CT CSN
SouthSideRyan replied to haubrich91's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Rays run with a Red Sox collapse. Also a Braves run with a Phillies collapse in the NL the same year, IIRC Rockies did it too. Went 14-1 to close out the 2007 season(including 1 game playoff with Padres for wild card spot) Then they won 7 in a row to sweep into the world series, only to get destroyed by the Red Sox. -
Jax for Upton?

Is Gattis a terrible defensive catcher, otherwise wtf? -
I was going to reference this, but it's quite possible Boras has changed his opinon with the way the market has shifted.

Arbitration isn't based on previous years salaries it's based on comparables. Travis Wood received a bigger increase than David Price did in their respective 1st year of arb. The fact that Wood was coming from 520k and Price was coming from 1.25M was irrelevant ETA previous years salary comes into play in that you can't reduce a salary by any more than 20% his previous salary
-
He's signed through those six years already, though. The last year of his contract is 2020, which would also be his last pre-FA year if he is indeed beholden to the standard service-time requirement. ...unless he was held down til mid-April of next year making his last pre-FA year 2021.
-
out of curiosity what is the long term difference between him coming up now, and him making the opening day roster? I know less than some others here but I believe the service-time impact is essentially nil between those two scenarios. Correct. Bryant would need to be held down until mid-April to get the "7th" year of control
-
Again, while Soler is on a major league contract, he can opt into arbitration as soon as he's eligible. There has been no indication that he is not beholden to the standard 6 years of big league service requirement.
-
It's not even unlikely. It's 100% not happening. They don't explicitly say things too often but they pretty much have explicitly said that. And I still don't understand it. ETA: compared to Baez/Soler that is you don't understand why Soler would be called up before Bryant? I don't understand why they're seemingly playing service time games with Bryant but not Baez and Soler.

16 wins out of 28... wouldn't that be a 69 pace? No? 162/28= 5.8 (rounded up) 5.8x16= 92.8 what a weird way to do it I was thinking the same thing

The Brewers offense can't be that bad.

I'd much prefer to be owned by a mailbox.

Padres are definitely one of them. I'm guessing the other one is somebody you wouldn't expect...Pirates?
