From what I understand it is generally about 3-4 years behind the proprietary stuff teams use.
Can you describe the differences. More accurate defensive metrics? More sophisticated offensive numbers perhaps taking into account quality at bats or exit velocity figures?

I wish I could get specifics, but folks hold that stuff pretty close to the vest. Generally, my understanding is more (and better nuanced) inputs, weighting is handled differently, and defensive metrics are generally more advanced.

They might or might not trade him. He's definitely available.

Would be a smart idea to get out of Kemps deal since they got the biggest discount last year.

Fangraphs' list of Top 5 FA Bargains includes both Chen and Pearce.

Really hope we bring back Pearce. Would love to return Chen as well but signs point to that not happening. I agree that the team signing him will be getting a better value deal than those for many of the higher pedigree SPs.

I wouldn't mind having both Zobrist and Pearce. Lots of versatility there. We'd need to find a LH hitter, but those two guys would be nice to have.

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
