    So the arm slot change was a result of an instructed mechanical change and not compensation to an injury ? If so , The potential pitch combination suggestions and additions, make great sense . I made a commitment to this site , in large part because of your efforts and talent . These pieces are so thought provoking and enhance the joy in following the team . Keep up the steady excellence . I look forward to next one .

    Merry almost Christmas. This is an early present . You think like a developmental analyst . As a former coach, the specificity in terms of a particular set of player data , or transactional characteristics as it relates to undervalued skill sets , is astounding enough . But I really sign up for the style of thinking your writing promotes . The Why . How do we push the parameters of possibility, to piece the roster puzzle together . Why this and not this . You have a gift .

    “The Berlin defense “ it is not . But the chess analogy plays well . Along with acquiring with undervalued assets, driven by Developmental possibilities. This landscape of fluid, game theory based interactions , seems to explain how Hoyer and many value driven , roster builders operate . You are 3 moves ahead of me as usual .

    He seems to have a Rich Hill light vibe . I think people ignore the means and development history of vet pitchers , to change and improve their profiles . The past 10-12 years has fostered many examples . Fitting the roster puzzle together is the key . Reading your stuff is like adding chapters to the “MVP Machine “ . kudos

    Amazing piece and a timely reference. Well done and the type of contextual writing , that is your forte .

    Lots of creative options available . You make a solid argument for moving with pace . Value plays can be found as the market plays out , but threading the needle is tricky . Perceived certainty can indeed necessitate a quicker move . There is a 1 to 1 ratio between your work and my enjoyment of the off season . Kudos

    Is the delivery change initiated by a timing change in the lower half ? Do you have a background in Bio Mechanics ? You use data , with images to reverse engineer a hypothesis. I have always enjoyed your work , but in the past year , it seems to be even more insightful. Thanks

    Love the detailed , bio mechanical approach to this piece . Runs saved or gained on the margins of minimal expense, are gold . We appreciate the detailed work .

    Solid analysis. I was wading through this topic with my sibling last Eve . Side note , I referenced the value of caretaker status , with pieces like this . As a basis for said claim. I believe ( possibly foolishly ) that the Cubs have value in Bellinger , that would not have been there , if he opted out . Trade return ( with an adjacent move ) or a 4 win plus year, from Belly . Could move the Cubs closer to the Holy Grail , 90 win number .

    Such a variety of ways to accrue value . As a long time coach , I appreciate the specificity you bring to your conjecture . The Cubs seem to have a good track record with multi pitch hurlers , and therefore ability to use diverse attack plans . Informative and thought provoking per usual .

    Matt T is the reason , I am becoming a caretaker . . Above comments have merit, MT brings value based thinking , from various sides of roster building . pitching brings value and in some ways , doubles down on defensive value .Quite an interesting and thought provoking piece .

    How much time does it take you to research and write a piece like this . Since the first time I stumbled onto your work , it struck me as unique version of Neyer meets Maddon at the SABR convention . I appreciate how much targeted effort it must take .
