You forgot fWAR.Progressive Insurance should do a "becoming your parents" commercial using old timers watching ESPN Highlights w/ baseball statistics (Batting average...stolen bases.. etc) versus the OPS+ and DRS and etc.. etc.. could be pretty funny...
If we keep losing FO execs (excepting GM / President) its because the team continues to do well. Let's hope it keeps up
We lose another FO executive
yep....give me a guy who puts the ball in play all day long over somebody who strikes out 175 times, hits. 220 and 35 hr's.Progressive Insurance should do a "becoming your parents" commercial using old timers watching ESPN Highlights w/ baseball statistics (Batting average...stolen bases.. etc) versus the OPS+ and DRS and etc.. etc.. could be pretty funny...
Give me the player with the higher value. I don't really care how you get it done, as long as you get it done.
Positionally sure (and also handedness can make a difference) but what I mean is when you think of it in terms of tools/skills to play the same position I don't care much if you are bad at defense and good at offense or vice versa, or get your offensive production done through the means of power, patience, or contact. In the end what matters is the "WAR" (or at least what WAR attempts to get at). And I'd look at things more in terms of what you'd project the team WAR to improve by upon acquiring someone if they let you shuffle your roster up. For instance if we get a 1B only and DH only player, we'd be forced to stick Franmil in OF and that'd be bad.This is true to an extent.
But the player's skill set has to fit the roster of whatever team acquires him.

Any chance James Harris also goes with Carter, perhaps as the AGM..Expect a few lower level FO/development staff members to go to Chicago.
See ya later Bimbo.. Good luck in the windy cityExpect a few lower level FO/development staff members to go to Chicago.
