Chuck Person? NBAer Indy.

McCarthy and Young don't belong with the other two serious names there.

7 names? Trying to catch me? C'mon now.

https://sports.yahoo.com/garrett-crochet-worth-haul-heres-231836886.html According to insider Robert Murray of FanSided, teams are seemingly willing to pay a pretty penny for his services. “Absolutely incredible," a "rival evaluator" texted Murray of Crochet. "Someone should give them what they want. Fastball that explodes, angle, life (on his fastball) just absurd. I’d give them like five prospects for him right now.

Collier’s also out with plantar fasciitis. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/wnba/news/caitlin-clark-olympics-brittney-griner-injury-fever-team-usa/e7c87c5769dbee902fd0774d

Morneau Blum Monaco all much better than JS... Sox ties or interest in the case of Monaco this past offseason. Ben Davis as well in Philly. And Orsillo and Grant really have a ton of fun together... easy listen. "The Jon Sciambi and Jim Deshaies team is always a pleasure to listen to, and the Cubs’ score and rank are probably hurt by the musical chairs that Marquee plays with the booth at times. Just let these two call as many games as possible and stop meddling, alright?" Cubs at least Top Ten in an awfully disappointing year...

Luis Robert, Jr. 2019 122 games/140 games xxx 2020 56/60 possible games xxx 2021 80 games 2022 99 games 2023 145/160 games xxx 2024 51/98 games

2020 Almost played that entire Covid season, so shouldn't be penalized for a sixty game season.

But PA's or total at bats is what you have to be looking at most closely.

Cuban Pipeline/Connection has simply dried up... by and large. Yogurt Sanchez N. Vera Y. Cousin Y. Cespedes Colas B. Ramos Impact players few and far between.

Imagine if he has an inning like Big Unit did against Kruk Gwynn etc. at ASG.

Povich isn't leading anyone anywhere this season…

Saturday’s Liberty-Fever WNBA regular season game averaged 1.87 million viewers on CBS, marking the fifth-largest WNBA audience in the past 23 years. Each of the top five have come this season and involved Clark and the Fever. Indiana’s win, which peaked with 2.65 million in the 2:45 PM ET quarter-hour, was the 12th WNBA game this season with a seven-figure audience — tying 2002 as the most in any season since 1997. (This article originally reported that it was the 11th, but that mistakenly omitted last Tuesday’s Fever-Aces game.) The WNBA entered this season having gone nearly 16 years without a single seven-figure audience. Clark and the Fever have played in 11 of the 12 games with a million viewers this season, and led into the lone exception — Sparks-Aces on May 18. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2024/07/caitlin-clark-effect-wnba-ratings-ad-revenue-rising/

I'm sure Clark games are already demolishing every Sox game.

He’s pitching under zero pressure with the worst team in baseball. Look what happened to Giolito last year after he was actually EXPECTED to perform.

Not if there’s 1 out of 30 GM’s that values him more highly and is willing to pay the price…like the Dodgers with, even though he rarely gets to the 120 IP threshold, he’s valued in the same way as a guy who consistently goes 150-180. 4.8 fWAR last year, 3.2ish track this year. Average over last 1 1/2 years extrapolates to 4 fWAR x 9=$36ish million buying the guy on FA market in pure cash. It’s even higher if you weigh 2023 more heavily than 2024…although recency bias tends to balance that out towards the lesser 2024 pace. Fedde lacks that extra full year of recent high level performance stateside.

Yes, but you cant’t assign human characteristics to a vague term like team payoll…as who would empathize or sympathize with JR, a faceless miser to most? You’re theoretically meaning to say equal to…balancing out…cash flow neutral.

Commensurate

So now back to Wetherholt? At least his bat is already right there.

Jo Adell and Lewis Brinson...forget developing a Griffin. Only worked once with Tim Anderson...that kind of off the charts teenage toolsiness like Griff. Maybe Wolkow minus the speed...certainly he isn't a middle infielder.

I meant in the sense most ranking systems have Eflin higher due to the proven track record...Fedde makes it through 3-4 more starts with around a 3 or below ERA, yet another bump up in value. Also...just jettisoning salary is more important than talent return, despite freeing up all that Wander Franco extension money. That money will instead be ticketed to Junior Caminero extension. Also likely to want to dump Arozarena arb year/s.

Right #8-12 Especially after escaping that bases loaded jam in the first inning. More supportive data points.

I'm going to try to get to Drew Anderson in the SSG Landers bullpen tonight in Incheon and ask some Sox front office related questions...and which players are the biggest dicks.
