I look at this contract and then look at the extension Dickey got and shake my head.

How on earth does Dickey get 12.5 million per year for only two years and Edwin Jackson gets more years and...

Bad years happen.

I think his previous track record of 3 years prior to the disaster last year if going to be more reflective of the pitcher he is this year.

Just like Lester.

If Romero gets back to what he was they have a scary rotation. Giants scary rotation.

Regardless of Miggy winning the MVP award, I think a high majority of people can agree Trout was the best player in baseball....and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

I don't need to...

I know of at least 1 voter who voted Trout 1st on his ballot.

Maybe it will be closer than most had originally thought. Maybe the voters have come around afterall.

It's not like he was just on fire on defense for this year alone, he has been a beast in the minors as well. I think we've seen enough of a track record to come to the conclusion his defense is what...

His defense will stay where it is because he's that good at it. Not like he's going to lose his range or arm anytime soon.

Like I said, 5 WAR next year....8 WAR in his prime....with an outside...

I never said fan graphs WAR, I said reference WAR.

Simmons was a 2.8 WAR player in 180+ plate appearances, prorate that to 600 plate appearances and he's over 8 WAR. Tell me, oh great one, how...

I don't know why you guys are harping on his bat, his bat speed is amazing....and he doesn't strike out. He's only going to improve.

He was at 2.8 rWAR through 182 plate appearances. Prorate what he did to 600 plate appearances and he would be well over 8 WAR as is.....and that was as a rookie.

Imagine in his prime years what...

Simmons is a future superstar, will be a 5 WAR player easily next year if he's healthy, with potential to be a perennial 8 WAR player in his prime years.

The only correct pitch to say is knuckle ball, you can have a 20 year career with that pitch and have it be just as effective when you're 20 as when you're 40 years old.

Bengie Molina was -10 with the Giants in 2009.....it's hard to try to explain that other than the pitching staff left him out to dry on may occasions.

Ask any base stealer what's the most...

It's subjective because it accounts for stolen bases and the catchers ability to stop people from running.

That's illogical, especially for Posey, because he catchers a lot of pitchers that...

How is runs saved not subjective?

Fan graphs has him at +7 for his defense..... obviously this fits my argument more, but that's a stat I refuse to use too because it's flawed.

There will...

Just watch him behind the plate.

He has a great arm.

Frames pitches well (I believe there is a site that analysis's this)

Blocks pitches amazing. Only 2 passed balls all year.

The staff...

BTW, I heard you say before that 10 runs roughly equal 1.0 WAR.....

How come Bruan created 133 runs offensively, 1.4 runs base running, and 7 runs on defense..... roughly 140 runs....I know he...

You could easily argue that the formula doesn't give Posey a big enough advantage for positional adjustments.

You try playing catcher for 130+ games. It's the most physically demanding, and most...

The correct answer will be Shelby Miller.

Nobody cares about him being 33 next September with a lot of wear and tear and all signs pointing to a decline.....for 12 million+ for 3 years at least?

Doesn't seem like a good investment.

No, one bad year doesn't mean you give up on him. He will figure it out and get back to his usual self, IMO.

You have some money coming off the books.

Scut, 6 million

Pence, 10.5 million (could get arbitration)

Huff, 10 million

Pagan, 5 million

There is quite a big difference between a 174+ era and a 139+ era.... These are all negatives for Clemens when compared to Felix, yet somehow he had a higher WAR.

I've never said pitching doesn't have some amount of luck in it, you can hit the ball extremely well on a line right to a player, doesn't mean you made a great pitch for the out or that you didn't...

1995 - al averaged 4.5 runs per game

1996 - al teams averaged 5.4 runs

1997 - al teams averaged 4.9 runs

2010 - al teams averaged 4.45 runs


It's not like just in 1996 offense became...
