It's not the worst idea. Ozuna can at least hit enough to overcome his defensive faults. I would rather see us spend first on a starter, and second on a closer.

The Indians are dumping salary including Lindor. If they move Carrasco too, they will just use him to load up on prospects, and not reburden themselves with a long term contract.

This is where people should stop reading.

This should be the end. Only one team was willing to pay him $18 million a year last year. Now in the worst free agent market in baseball history, you are going to find another team that is willing to do so? Eh.

This is so incredible

Pretty sure Dallas was the one who publicly had great stuff to say about Grandal.

This is where I quit reading.

You are literally just making up stuff as you go along. You get proven wrong, and then haul the goalposts somewhere else and set up with a new attempt. Just walk away.

It is literally in the very first line of the first description. Pretty much every GM and almost every Manager in baseball today is a stats guy. Ricky Renteria pretty much got fired for refusing to incorporate this type of analysis into his daily work if you read some of the stories out there about his firing.

Have you paid attention to the last decade? Here is a great example to start with https://www.workinsports.com/blog/how-ten-mlb-general-managers-began-their-sports-careers/

You are quite literally the first person who has publicly said they can't tell Gio Gonzalez from Lucas Giolito from the context of the discussions happening here.

And now we have mathematical equations which can actually quantify these numbers for each situation and tell us which is statistically most likely to generate runs, and which is projected to generate the most runs. So we have taken those BRAINS, and we have built new and improved ways of really understanding these situations. We didn't quit evolving in 1986. That's what modern statistical analysis is. So when you try to throw out these new fangled stats, as something have biases build in them, realize that there is much LESS bias built into these modern stats, than there was in the overly simplistic stats of the old days and the eye test. We can boil both offense and defense down to runs expectations, all of the way down to each individual pitch. We are SOOO far ahead of what we used to know about the game of baseball, it isn't even funny. Even the White Sox know this.

Because he (wrongly) thinks is proves something.

Since you are too lazy to do your own work, and like to announcing things as fact, even when you are wrong, here you go. If you go over ONLY the 4 year period you have tried to keep this to, he was 8th in a league with 15 teams if you narrow the focus to ONLY AL teams, and leave out 2020. If you look at his batting average he was 12th. His OBP was 16th. Again, no matter how you try to narrow and rearrange this argument, Nomar Mazara is not a good RF. Even with narrowing this to one stat, only a specific four years to leave off his worst year, AND to ignore half of the RFs in baseball, your argument is STILL WRONG.

Because no one cared about Gio Gonzalez. He signed here, and barely appeared so there was no real confusion, because essentially when it came to Gonzalez, there was nothign to talk about.

Again, it isn't. I actually took the time to do the search. You are wrong. Again.

1986 called and they want their stats back.

Hint: You are wrong. Again.

Translation: I have nothing, and am trying to save face. Come back when you have any proof of anything.

No.

You realize that for every single made up scenario, you can do the same thing for a batting average right? Fluke hits happen, why do you trust batting average? It's too bad you can only handle the most simple of numbers.

You are moving the goalposts over and over again, and have been proven wrong with every single claim here. At this point get off your butt and actually show your work. I am bored with proving you wrong, while you have zero evidence of anything you say.
