Who goes for Howard and does it matter?

I kinda wish Harry was around right now just to hear what he would have to say

I wish we could re-acquire Qualls just to cut him again. It was the most enjoyable part of this season.

it would sound like most years before 2007

maybe this is crazy, but can fontenot be the every day 3b?

Polanco will be no matter what forever and ever, because that's what Charlie has to deal with. Sure, you can throw Wiggy over there when Howard comes back, but Wiggy is a terrible, terrible third baseman. And you know what else? None of that really matters, because our pitching is totally atrocious.

i guess we're done talking about cole hamels

I fucking hate this team.

PAPS has a .5 WAR and -.42 WPA. That doesn't seem good. On the bright side, only Valdes has a better WAR among our reliefers.

The WPA is a little bit par for the course with closers. They enter in games that are almost always won by their team anyway (90+ % even in a 1-run save situation), so their positive WPA never moves all that far. Then they blow a game or two and the negative side moves dramatically.

It's the numbers behind the theory to get the best reliever in the games that are the closest (-1, tie, +1) and keep them out of the +3s even though it's technically a save situation. On the flip side, of course, there's the theory that guys with the closer mentality just don't get the adrenaline to pitch as well in the -1 and tie situations as they do in the +1, +2 or +3 situations.

Just heard Pirates have interest in Hamels. What prospects do they have to offer?

For having 19 losing seasons, surprisingly very little. Their two major prospects are the 1st and 2nd-rd picks they spent $13M on last year

That's what I thought
