They can recall the calendars with all the money they save by dumping him.

Just an update set with stickers to place over traded players faces

Marketing has killed trades before apparently.

I want my fucking calendar back

are we saying that Jean is the key to October?

hmm

just ran across a new #1 reason to believe (or hope) that steamer/fangraphs projections are badly flawed: wheeler and pivetta have the same 4.14 era projection for 2020 (and almost the same fip). that's a pretty huge regression to the mean for both. fip-wise, pivetta goes from 5.47 to 4.22 and wheeler from 3.48 to 4.17.

This should make us feel better. The 10 highest current position players in AAV, ranked by 2019 fWAR:

1. Trout (1, $35.5M) - 8.6
2. Rendon (2, $35M) - 7.0
3. Arenado (3, $32.5M) - 5.9
4. Harper (7, $25.4M) - 4.6
5. Machado (5, $30M) - 3.1
6. Goldschmidt (6, $26M) - 2.9
7. Cano (t-9, $24M) - 0.8
8. Cabrera (4, $31M) - (0.3)
9. Pujols (t-9, $24M) - (0.4)

One of the fantasy "experts" adjusted Wheeler's projected ERA and WHIP by that much to account for the move from Citi Field to CBP

Gelb says Wacha was out of the Phillies price range as they refuse to go over the tax. Pathetic.

I mean if it is go over the tax this year but not next year, I choose to start next year.

I think a team should go over the tax if there's a solid opportunity there. Michael Wacha and Kevin Gausman are not those opportunities.

Ryu is very interesting to me.

Wacha stinks. It's not about that. It's about the refusal to do so. If Kris Bryant is truly available there's no reason they shouldn't be trying very hard to acquire him. Tax or no tax.

I do not disagree with this.

We've kind of been down this road. Middleton pointed out the player has to be worth it to go over the tax. You don't just go over the tax to say you did it

Reason is every playoff team in the NL can put together a good team without exceeding the tax, so should Klentak if he’s a good GM.

I wish they’d spend over of course.

Scary thing is Gelb seems to imply we actually wanted Wacha

Scarier is ppl wanting to go over the tax to sign that stiff.
