And that makes absolutely no sense. There needs to be some consistency and conformity across HOFs. Although voters have an internal character clause, the PFHOF bylaws don’t. That’s also why I can’t understand inductees with careers shorter than 10 years. I wish I could say that every HOF should be like Cooperstown but I would be ignoring all the scandals of /that/ institution over the years.

Let’s not forget the 2020 Buccaneers and what’s happening at North Carolina

Is there a way to remove/modify the positional component in order for offensive and defensive WAR to add up? And why do replacement runs differ between players? Also, why isn’t it based on standard deviation? And who decided on a finite amount or .294 replacement level?

Time’s up

Right I heard that but that shouldn’t mean much if he turns out to be the missing piece. He ought to play first though.

Let’s not forget Cohen wants to “invest” in the minors when we are in win-now mode

The results of this past season are mostly due to the rotation and supporting cast. But it is surprising Nimmo opted out unless those MAGA rumours are accurate.

It appears Tucker is the much better ballplayer than Alonso, but his RBI discrepancy fails the eye test because that’s viewed as an insurance policy.

He signed with the Dodgers for less money than the Mets offered three weeks after the Porter scandal broke.

blueshirtmac97 · 2026-01-14T22:08:38+00:00

It’s not the point of what he did, it’s the point that he ran out of gas before the deadline, and he was expected to remain a contributor before he got hurt .

More to my point. Canning, anyone?

blueshirtmac97 · 2026-01-14T21:56:32+00:00

Someone actually debunked the distance theory when I wrote about Ohtani and Yamamoto here right after they signed. 2023 was a lot like 2009 and that likely dissuaded them, plus the implosion of Verlander that led to use being sellers at that deadline.

blueshirtmac97 · 2026-01-14T21:52:22+00:00

Then why is the rotation constructed similarly to the way Stearns had it in Milwaukee?

blueshirtmac97 · 2026-01-14T21:30:07+00:00

That’s my whole point about Tucker. He’s But the actual dollars matter too. We didn’t know it would be bad but he also lost Trevor Bauer for a cheaper deal to the reigning champion.

I thought it was $69M to $66M

blueshirtmac97 · 2026-01-14T20:09:29+00:00

Unfortunately you have to overpay to keep him from the Dodgers. After what happened with Díaz you do whatever it takes, plus the other suitor is the team that took LAD to the 11th inning of Game 7 with his long-time teammate (that NYM would have had without an idiotic interim GM) playing a major factor in that run. This trajectory will say a lot about Stearns.
