I'm honestly to the point of wondering whether I should give up my tickets for the impending not try season #3, and assume everyone will be so pissed off that I can get 2015 season tickets despite being at the end of the line.

Depending on how you want to calculate it: Position players not in our starting lineup on Opening Day (-Barney, +whatever crap we had at 2B on opening day): 4.3 fWAR, 4.3 bWAR Pitchers not in our starting rotation in April: (-Garza, + Villanueva): 0.3 fWAR, 4bWAR Now YMMV on how you want to calculate what constitues a bench/pen guy vs. a a guy like Chris Rusin who is ~half the bWAR and is keeping the fWAR from being a game below replacement. (Junior Lake being the position player version) Personally, I think it makes sense to look at this way, because bench/pen is really more a matter of depth than anything else. In response to your question, I'd say we should be looking for 8-10 out of those groups. (This way of calculating could be even more difficult to figure next year with an expected Baez call up mid-season)

That's kind of a ridiculous assumption. His next employer doesn't get to draft him. It's not an assumption of what would actually happen if he left, but you can immediately cross off half the teams as being worse of from payroll standpoint. You probably never would've seen the [expletive] Reds coming in with a higher payroll than us coming either. It's not far-fetched to see the Braves, D-Backs, Mets, Mariners, and Orioles drop us down to 19th next season. -
lol, Greenberg

Re: Scholarships, I'm pretty damn certain Starks is getting 1 year of scholarship one way or another. If he doesn't get the waiver, he'll have a ride this year and have to pay next year. As for Cliff's spot, who knows.

Pour one out for Hoops

. Synonym only means it has a similar meaning. Similar in that they are all averages.
-
You're the [expletive] statistics professor who doesn't know that mean, media, and mode are all forms of averages

And I'm the rich snob?

So you're fine with another 65 win [expletive] sandwich next year? ETA: For Beer Kaese

We're going to have wave after wave?? The systems ranked ahead of us must have the greatest farm systems in the history of baseball then.

That was me, you hump. ETA: Offer still stands.

I learned today that Illinois is recruiting a kid named Prince Ali. And that MSU's new target after Ulis has the first name Lourawls
-
Why are we bunting with Donnie Murphy??
-
He's not wrong. Just because when you were taught mean-median-mode your lazy teacher told you mean = average doesn't mean that mode and median aren't also technically averages.

wtf guys

He's had a season OPS over .600 for one day all year.

ESPN reporting Snider to Illinois, Ulis to UK

If my counting is correct he's already matched the total # of TD passes for 2012 KU football #whataboringfight

Parks is kind of a weirdo

Well...teams outside of the Cubs and Marlins flush with new MLB money. http://virtuallypriceless.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/200805280724.jpg

Not to mention KU

All of this. I really hate how much this seems to add up. What doesn't add up is why Theo Epstein would sign up for this [expletive] sandwich instead of crying about the dodgers, he probably realized that the cubs still have an above average payroll, and he'd be getting almost a completely clean slate to fill it out with players he wants to. I mean...I guess 14th in MLB is above average.
