Edwin Diaz has maxed out at 3.5 and 3.0 as a closer but all other seasons below that level...for example. So your argument is Moneyball 3.0 is undervalued middle or high leverage relievers? If you could control for year to year unpredictability...
-
One would be curious to see how that translated into trade value...

Not to the face is the key point..

Sosa obviously

What s the record fWAR for a multi innings guy who doesn't close usually and rarely starts??? Thinking Zumaya with Tigers or Andrew Miller LHP at some point were in 2s or 3s. Mason Miller 2.3 and 2.0...but he's a closer, obviously.
-
What the hell does that even mean??? Otoh "don't want no small dick man" from 1994 is super popular here in China on my son's PUBG streams. Surely no rights fee going back to the US.

Yeah different story at 25. Easier to go from failed baseball career to football. We had two big time QB recruit with the Pirates in the mid 90s at Augusta. Charles Peterson first rounder who turned down Alabama for draft pick signing bonus. Failed. Mark Farris failed at BB then went on to Texas A&M to play QB semi successfully. Body/frame quite similar to Colson.

"Kyler Murray isn’t the only NFL standout who had a real future in baseball if he’d wanted it. Scouts to this day wonder how high the Eagles’ A.J. Brown could have risen; some projected him to have even more talent at the plate than Murray. Brown signed with the Padres out of high school and worked out with the team while in college at Ole Miss, but obviously opted to stick with football." espn.com

But for a pitcher whose fastball barely tops 80 mph, it was just strange enough to work: Ohtani swung, spinning in the box, his helmet tumbling off his head. The clip spread around the world and Satoria became a celebrity -- in Japan, at least. Back home in Czechia, baseball may be growing but it’s still small. No one is stopping Satoria on the street to pose for a photograph like they are in Tokyo. “It’s really nice for me,” Satoria said. “It’s like a reward for my whole life playing baseball because nobody knows me in Czechia. I’m just a regular dude from Ostrava, but here they respect me and have me sign balls. It’s really nice to be back here.”

Ohtani seems to be really close to Mune...genuinely happy even though game not in doubt, big smiles from both maybe he can relax now for quarterfinals they are almost always together in dugout along with Seiya would still bench Okamoto or Kondoh for Sato next game in Miami CF Shuto really had the big hit three run homer pulled to RF to break it wide open Satoria getting standing ovation from crowd will remember that moment forever likely Japan vs. Venezuela next Saturday 9 pm in Miami Korea vs. DR

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/03/04/baseball/japanese-baseball/netflix-wbc-traditions/ Netflix is basically trying to force all of Japan to subscribe to Netflix Japan services since WBC games have always been carried on traditional free/antenna tv. Of course that means a rights fee of 10-15 billion yen...$63.5-$100 million USD. (Remember all the newly-negotiate MLB tv deals only equal $550 million per year.) "Ohtani’s performance last time really got everyone fired up, but my excitement has dropped a lot now that it seems we can’t watch,” said the 72 year-old. He usually relies on his two sons, who live near Tokyo, for tech support, but they’re too far away to help him set up his TV." "Streaming has opened up the space for more bidders to seek sport telecasting,” said Andrew Zimbalist, a professor emeritus of economics at Smith College in Massachusetts. "But as streaming services expand, traditional broadcasters lose market share and ability to cast high bids.” Hiroto Takahashi at 96 mph in the first inning against Czechia.

https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2026/03/angels-own-operate-fanduel-sports-network-buyout-main-street/ "The MLB Los Angeles Angels have assumed ownership of the regional sports network FanDuel Sports Network West, which will continue to operate under that name, it was announced Monday. The Angels already held joint ownership of the RSN, which like all of the other “FanDuel Sports Network” stations was part of the Main Street Sports Group portfolio. According to multiple reports Friday, the team bought out Main Street’s ownership share of the network."

Witt alone was the reason KC made the post season... Same thing they're hoping for with Griffin in Pitt and soon Cholowsky in Chicago. The key difference is Witt's game speed and arm strength, though. Italy/Mexico should be fun... 5-3 getting interesting in Houston 3 consecutive wins vs Team USA Cubs' Boyd getting lit up...J.Duran increasing his trade value
