I am skeptical we'll be able to replace Morales' power, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

I know what you mean. Those blasts he had in Minnesota this year were amazing.

Is there a site that has all the free agents listed for every team?

Just don't bring Soria back.

I'd love Encarnacion. Ok, LOL

I had comments about him, apparently I failed to copy-paste accurately. I'll add when I'm at a computer I can access the forum on.


Two years with a mutual option for year 3; he declined his half and is a FA.


Yes. This pleases me.


As of last year, only 18 guys in the past decade and only 39 total had needed a revision, according to SI. Hopefully Duffy avoids those fates.

The guy who did his, Lew Yocun, is dead, but I don't think he's the surgeon who did Brandon Beachy, Medlen, and Corey Luebke's failed first runs at TJ.


MLB trade rumors lists it by position, not sure you can filter by team in one spot.

I'm prob more worried about the money than the odds. Example: let's suppose you sign Kris Medlen and there's a 50% chance he doesn't pitch for you. 10M x 50% = $5M expected loss. Or Holland at say 2/14: 50% chance you'll lose $7M.


The same odds for Duffy incur a massive 25M loss. I suppose the counter is you'll get a shitload of value for him the time he DOES play. And if he survives most of that time, you really come out ahead.


Strasburg and Harvey having issues this year really would worry me. They are young guys his age.

I would take Duffy for 5 years 45m all damn day long to the bank if it is structured right

Duncan/PB, are wRC values already presented with the exclusion of pitchers from the calculation? Or do you have to compile that separately?

For example, when calculating batting runs...

Batting Runs = wRAA + (lgR/PA – (PF*lgR/PA))*PA + (lgR/PA – (AL or NL non-pitcher wRC/PA))*PA

....is AL non-pitcher wRC for 2016 just simply 11008/91672 = .12 from this link? (wRC/PA)

I'm trying to find someone to go with to the Arizona Fall League All-Star game tomorrow.

So far, no takers. :(

I hope they ink Eric Hosmer for a long term deal I would love that. Eric Hosmer is a stud.


I think Venura is going start maturing and have more control this year as long as he listens to Perez and pitching coaches. I think he will be our Ace in the pocket.

Never mind, I figured it out. For shits and gigs, I calculated Eric Hosmer's 2016 fWAR by hand. Fangraphs has him at -.2. My final figure came out to be -.1895 which is most likely just rounding errors if I had to guess. It was a fun way to see the inside of this stat.

As you can see, I took a shortcut when it came to BsR (part b on my sheet). Didn't feel like working the formulas for lgwSB (b2) and runCS (b3) when UBR, wSB, and wGDP were all right in front of me on Fangraphs. But for the most part, here is everything that goes into fWAR (I think):

...is it March yet?

I'm looking forward to the 2017 World Series Royals vs. Cubs
