    I thie what you did here...

    The extra inning runner devalues runs scored for a variety of run-related statistics when compared to runs scored in the first nine innings. How do we account for this when evaluating player performance?

    This is nice to know

    One Gold Glove two years ago. Will be 32 years old this season. Should we be feeling more than a little underwhelmed?

    "The Automatic Balls and Strikes system, commonly referred to as ABS, will be deployed in two different ways. Half of the Class AAA games will be played with all of the calls determined by an electronic strike zone, and the other half will be played with an ABS challenge system similar to that used in professional tennis." Smart

    Tail-end Charlie here to take a bow for having recently stated that a seven-year or under contract with higher annual value was the right play. Now GMs from all around the leagues are banging on my door. ?

    Appears to mean, “move quickly to sign player within 12 hours of article publication.” :-)

    Can't... resist... aaaaaargh!

    Love watching him play. It is fair to say that he could contribute more than Garlick. That said, we have to concede that his last truly outstanding season was 2017. It is likely there is just not enough upside left in him six seasons out from that, which would be sad...

    "Could the Twins wind up with Correa after all...?" I see it, I'll believe it.
  17. VivaBomboRivera!
    Hmmm. 315/12 is considerably closer to 285/10... Wonder if the Twinkies would've tried to match 315? Correa at third, Lindor at short. Helluva infield.

    Tough crowd...

    So in fairness, there is still room for a players union in your universe, correct? :-)

    Nobody doubts that the figures aren't real, and this is indeed the market. Markets can be sick, and this market is sick.

    Lucky man! I really was up in 203. Cheers! Lucky man twice. Best student senator the University of Minnesota never had.

    Nobody said that the Giants aren't a well-run ball club with a history they should be proud of. Some of us are saying that the kinds of contracts that pay players superstar salaries long after they produce like superstars, while making sense on an accounting level, is generally not good for ball clubs and not good for the sport. Why? Because it distorts player value and warps the market. Didn't I see you at Game 6, Bro? Section 203, Row 10? ;-)
  24. VivaBomboRivera!
    People _do_ understand the accounting - they just don't like it. ;-)

    Thoughtful post. Yes, constantly going back to the prospect well is tiresome. Apparently, Farmer is their hedge (barring a trade). We'll see about that. There is no one right answer for what happened with Correa. There might be a player and a deal where stretching the limits as far as his terms makes sense. In this case, the front office and about 80% of readers here so far say it wasn't. The answer will become apparent in about five months. Meanwhile, FA and trade moves are still not exhausted. Let us see.
