If you are paying 1/3 what you should on your car insurance but receive the same coverage, you're a dumb sonofabitch to go sign up and pay the full price, even if the coverage is worth it. Save the money and invest it elsewhere. If Trout asks for $15 million in arb, then give it to him, but don't spend the extra ten just to do it. Besides, signing him from 25/26-32 will also likely have provided them far more value, as they won't be on the hook for the decline years if they decide to re-up him at 28. Moreno thinks he was thinking ahead, but he's really just playing checkers. Trout was smart to take the deal because it maximizes his earning potential.

If you want to get the best player in baseball to stick around longer than those 3 more seasons and knock off those very valuable FA years, though, perhaps that's a price that you have to be willing to pay.

Nice game by Waino and Yady. I'll take the W even though the offense sucked, its game 1 after all.

Think he, like me, gets tired of the Chiefs continual F-ups. The loss to Indy was just too much. I suspect he is expecting Zach Martin on May 8 as well...At some point the camel's back breaks...
Anyway we post quite often on another Cardinal Board where I think he gives some very good insight... His post on that board yesterday concerning Matheny's handling of pitchers in the 8th.... __________________ When you're talking about relievers, you can't just review outcomes, you have to review process and execution. Neshek, like it or not, executed fairly well. Seigrist executed extremely well. And yes, on a lot of days you'd just as soon see Martinez get that call and get the 8th clean but here you had a righty and back to back lefties - why not give the ball to a guy that's hell on righties (Neshek) and a lefty that throws 98? I don't think this is the norm for Matheny, but I love the fact that he actually made the call according to the circumstances and not just according to script. He handled the 8th absolutely perfectly today, IMO. __________________ |
