  1. I live how WAR is the end all be all for ppl. All WAR does is compare that player to his backup. If AJs WAR is 4 and Mike Trouts is 3 because theyre back up CF is better than the Os doesnt make AJ better of the two because of that fact.
  2. Ok ciol. I have I've Kat question for anyone who actually knows. I dont want an opinionated answer. Hypothetically we traded Bundy Flaherty Lough To me that proposal is the equivalent to if not better than what they actually got. We receive David Price. If it's correct that Price is under control through 2015. Why not trade for him then deal him at next year's deadline to bring back what we lost. Therefore he would have been a full years worth rental. And ended up bringing us something back if we traded him next year. On top of being a possible piece that helps us hoist the trophy. Wouldnt that be a win win? Would that not make the most sense?
  3. Oh. That's awesome. So I've been reading some if your posts but it's hard for me to exact see where you stand on the whole "should we have traded for Price or Lester". Are you for or against them not making other moves or are you neutral?
  4. Oh where did you do that at? Or who for?
  5. You believe everything you read on wiki? Not saying that is wrong, but there can be a lot of BS on there.
  6. So Stotle. What is your duties of the OH scouting Contributor? Just curious.
  7. I agree with this abd feel the Os should have been in the same boat.
  8. All im saying is that the road to the WS just got that much tougher based on what other teams did and what the Os didnt. If you disagree with that then this argument/debate is ppl arguing for the sake of arguing. And if you agree then you somewhat have to agree that making a trade for Price or Lester would have greatly increased our chances. The whole.thing comes down to, you don't like the rush of losing Bundy for Price or Lester. Whereas I think pretty much the opposite. And I think its fair to say no matter how much of and what we ttpe, no ones opinions are changing.
  9. They might be real. But it doesn't mean the numbers dictate what actually happens on the field.
  10. So you're telling me that if the numbers stated we would be worse had we traded Lough for Price straight up, you wouldn't do it? Ppls predictions of our playoff odds are as useless as our opinions on trades. They pretty much mean didly squat.
  11. Wrong. What I'm saying is. Even if the Os acquired Clayton Kershaw Mike Trout and Miggy the numbers still wouldnt have escalated as much and therefore wouldnt be a true barometer have how well the team actually improved.
  12. Those odds are more pointless than some actual stats. They are opinions formed by ppl just like us forming our own opinions about these trades. What were the odds of the Cavaliers getting the number one pick this year. It was about 14%. I wouldn't make a trade based on a percentage nimber. I would make a trade based on what the player could provide. What someone estimation on our odds.
  13. It should read Bundy could have got Price solo. For some reason I cant edit anymore.
