abelwingnut posted:am i crazy thinking arenado is overvalued? yes, you make this deal if you're stl--no question. and it makes them the favorite in the central this season. but dude's been having some shoulder issues and isn't young. furthermore, aren't his away stats pretty average? Yes you are crazy. His fWARs since 2015 have been 4.5, 5.0, 5.7. 5.8, 6.0, .9 (pandemic year). You can't ask for more than that. And as for his away splits, I would have figured DJLM would have already shown how unreliable an assessment method that is. Not only do Rockies players have to adjust to and from thin air, their away splits are also naturally repressed compared to other NL players, why? Cause they don't get to play away games at Coors lol. So yeah. Injury concern yeah. But Arenado is absolutely top tier third basemen. He is tied with Rendon in fWAR since 2015. (Tied for third among third basemen in that time frame.)

When I went to Denver, I briefly had a moment of panic because the air make me think I couldn't breathe and I was just sitting on the train from the airport to the city. I imagine I was partially overreacting and Colorado players would be far more used to it but it absolutely has to impact up their performances. Are there any articles on how visiting teams do when going in and out of Coors?

Shouldn't have drank the Arenado-to-LA wishful thinking Kool-Aid Seems like JT re-signing is a near inevitability but I"ll begin the Edwin Rios, Starting Third Baseman rationalization process (which honestly does have some intrigue) just in case

His career OPS at Busch is .848. That's pretty good! That with good defense is pretty excellent! Like yeah. The injury is the biggest source of concern. I'm with you there. But Arenado is definitely a top tier third baseman. That's all I'm saying. Edit: yes I know the sample size there is small but  .

Indians reportedly went over their budget to sign Eddie Rosario. Their payroll is still south of $50 million A Major League Baseball team valued at 1.4 billion in the year 2021 has a budgeted payroll of less than $50 million. That was considered low end over a decade ago. I am terrified for the future of my franchise.

players have discussed in the past that it takes them time to adjust to playing at sea level and then playing at elevation. There are physical consequences and then in terms of actually playing. Ball doesn't break as sharply in Coors, and by the time players get used to either sea level or elevation, it's back on the road or back home. the more I see it the less likely it is that there will ever be a good team in Colorado. doesn't help that their decision making team has poo poo for brains

Julio Cruz posted:N: the Mets signed Aaron Loup for $3M That fills their 40-man roster, which means they're probably not getting Bauer. Which, on the one hand another good pitcher is always useful. On the other, he's a jerkface.

So like where are the realistic landing spots for Bauer now? We're like 10 days from pitchers and catchers reporting. The Padres already spent a bunch of money and went out and traded for several guys so I doubt it's them. It seems like the Yankees are probably done shopping. Maybe the Blue Jays?

The vast majority of the contracts, outside of the top tier FAs, have been 1-2 year deals. Which makes sense in a CBA year.

Supposedly Angels aren’t interested in Bauer but I find that difficult to believe. Loathsome as he is he’s a very good fit given their rotation needs. Mets could conceivably sign him but I have a gut feeling they won’t. That’s all it is though, gut feel.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:What in the ever living gently caress is the point of that Get expanded playoffs, make it a normal everyday thing. Trade away peanuts (Owners want the DH too) for more guaranteed TV money with the real added bonus of the chance to get into the postseason with a .500 record for eternity. If owners get that, then all that's left is to collectively efficiency themselves into flat lining payroll growth. Any additional dollars they make this year is just a cherry. Basically make this offseason the model going forward. Top guys will get paid, albeit slightly less than we're used to, and everyone else gets algorithm designated scraps.

I'm trying to figure out why fewer regular season + expanded playoff games is a no-go, I'm assuming because even though the # of games is similar the profit potential isn't, and there is no way the owners will share an equitable amount?

I think it's that teams won't be incentivized to spend more money because it's easier to make the playoffs, which is free money for them.

yeah, more teams in the playoffs equals less of an incentive to try and compete if you can just sneak in and get the free money given the way teams have looked lately 75-80 wins can get the 7th seed and that is disgusting
