For whatever reason, I like our odds better of landing Gerrit Cole than actually hiring a quality, experienced manager, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of the day when this nonsense finally ends.
Are you watching the game? Glad to see he’s making some adjustments, both mechanically and approach. Way too early to write him off with his eye and raw power.
Agreed, no idea why we continue to give everyday at-bats to Yolmer. We know what he is (a reserve IF) and playing him on a regular basis is simply inflating his future cost.
Yes, I 100% believe Colome has been worth two wins or less. And the average you’re quoting is intended for position players and not relievers. An average reliever is not worth close to two wins.
No, I think high leverage innings should be attributed more value than low leverage ones. WAR ignores context which is admittedly a shortcoming. It doesn’t mean WAR is a bad tool like you’re suggesting, just requires a bit more nuance in its application.
No idea what that lady line means.
