    Even an MCL tear he's done until the playoffs at least. wouldn't an mcl tear put him out for like a year too?

    how the hell is it possible for one guy to be lapping the field in velo the way chapman does? it's really insane.

    Closers with the resume of Chapman don't get used in setup situations. That's just the way it is, no matter how progressive the manager is. At least it seems that way in the regular season. I bet he'd have used Arnoldis there if this waste WS. fitting typo because this trade was even more of a complete waste if maddon doesn't, in the playoffs at least, use chapman in a more creative way than "9th inning with 1-3 run lead" ADDY!!!!!

I think he should use him, and I think he would've been willing to go for the 2 inning save until he blew the game against the Mariners. after that it came out that chapman doesn't like coming in in the 8th inning and that maddon said he hadn't known that.

    Does everyone sign him for that if they know this is how he produces? Well, for one, lots of teams don't buy into his defense being as valuable as the numbers say it is. That's why he wasn't as sought after as you'd expect a 26 year old 5+ win player to be. If most of the market believed he was as good as the numbers say, he would've gotten like $30+M a year for 10 years or something. That's why the Cubs got such a good deal on him. Good point. That said do the people who buy into his defense even think it's this valuable, or do they think that only provided he's at least average at the plate? The value of his defense is independent of his value at the plate. His runs saved on defense are what they are, whether he sucks at the plate or not. He can also lose you runs at the plate (which he no doubt has this year), which is why he isn't that same 5ish win player this year.

    i appreciate that addison has been going with chance

    Numbers for $ per FA WAR have hit as high as $9-10 million in recent years. If true, that fact should be enough for people to doubt the validity of the measure. why would that fact (which is essentially just an example of inflation) in particular put the validity of the measure into question?

    Numbers for $ per FA WAR have hit as high as $9-10 million in recent years. Here is another question. Say in a fake world that teams knew Heyward would be this same exact player next season. Does everyone sign him for one year and $15 million based on the way he got his WAR? I assume yes since WAR is WAR but it's so weird. Does everyone sign him for that if they know this is how he produces? Well, for one, lots of teams don't buy into his defense being as valuable as the numbers say it is. That's why he wasn't as sought after as you'd expect a 26 year old 5+ win player to be.

    I thought I had read that those types of stem cell treatments (just shooting these guys up with stem cells like, I think, Colon did) were quackery. Is there something that has changed? Is this something different? It's going to be insane if/when they can grow people replacement organs and eliminate the need for transplant lists and anti-rejection meds and all that. From what Inunderstand, and I think we both know how little that is, there's [expletive] doctors out there but otherwise it is the direction athletes are going for injuries. Kobe and Colon are the most famous athlete cases IIRC, but it's becoming more and more common for guys to shoot for the alternative in hopes of avoiding the knife. It is not yet a fully refined process, but the only way for that to happen is for players to keep giving it a shot - worst case is they get the TJ. I thought there was talk that, with these treatments being largely untested long term, the stem cells could cause cell multiplication and, thus, tumors.

    also $15M isn't a lot for a baseball player
