I played SO many hours of OOTP. They had draft classes full of real prospects, and 20-80 scouting grades. So great.

yeah that's about what I'd think, Dan, $230-240

Cole's good enough that he won't get caught in the MLB miser trap.
5 Run Homer

Is 2 really a crooked number?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:07
EVEN NUMBER LEADS ARE BETTER FOR SOME REASON~!
5 Run Homer

I thought a crooked number referred to a big inning, not just something other than 1

So far, Tanaka's allowing the higher average exit velo, 94.0 to 92.3, but 5 of the 6 hardest-hit balls have been off Greinke
Hire Joe Morgan?

How many pitchers have won the Cy Young Award in their walk year?
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:10
was pondering this briefly earlier and the one who came to mind was Catfish Hunter, whose free agency was sort of a fluke
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:11
Wow, lookign down the Cy Young list, I think Maddux is the most recent to win a Cy in walk year.
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:11
ah, it was Hunter who had the Cy and the championship before free agency, that's the combo that Cole COULD have
but yes, Maddux with just the Cy/FA combo

Oh, I wonder how easy it will be to talk yourself out of Gerrit Cole, seeing as he's only had two great seasons and he's already 29. Remember this time last year we were thinking Harper would get 400-500MM.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:12
I never thought that.
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:12
yeah, no.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Depending on when I did it, ZiPS had Machado at 330, Harper around 300.

Clemens with Blue Jays
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:13
He wasn't a FA
He suddenly demanded a trade and there was talk of a secret demand trade clause tha t MLB didn't approve
9:14
That was the Wells/Lloyd/Bush trade

how big is the QO number dropping this year from 17.9 million to 17.8 million?  Is that just more ammo for the union?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:14
They ought to already have all the ammo they need.
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:14
Clemens was traded, wasn't he?
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:14
Yes

Mark Davis 1989 San Diego Cy Young free agency to Kansas City for 1990.  and he got paid really well for that time period!
AvatarDan Szymborski

Ah, voters in the 80s

Tons of loud contact so far this game, just the one run to show for it.

I wonder if we see LA try to get Cole to go for something like 4/164i
AvatarJay Jaffe
9:15
ah yes, a reliever winning a Cy Young, no wonder I forgot Davis

I'm assuming that one reason that ex-players are so up on veterans and down on young players is that they were all veterans much more recently than they were young players themselves.
Hire Joe Morgan?
9:16
I think some people said he'd be worth that or it would be reasonable to pay him that.  No one said he'd get it.
AvatarDan Szymborski
9:16
The thing is, Harper's not Trout.
He was a very young FA (which is why he got the contract he did), but he still only has the one crazy SUPERSTAR year.
9:17
In WAR over last four years, he's 25th among hitters. He's 0.5 above Semien!
