I don’t have access to the algorithm used to make the projections obviously, but I can give you the basics. BTW, I noted in another post that the projection likely misses the boost he apparently gets

No matter what happens with Villar, no matter what we disagree about - I just want everyone to know that you all are worth 4 WAR in my heart.

Just a fan, man, I just want something fun to watch. My parents are both very sick, and they love watching the Orioles, and I want something fun for them to watch.  They have already traded away

I think this is something that will be targeted at the next CBA negotiations.  I am sure teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox are not happy that they have to do revenue sharing and the other teams are just pocketing  the money.  

I agree ... Things need to change! Tanking on purpose is a way to rebuild but it sucks for the fans.

Baseball needs a hard cap that will fix the problem and most teams will try every year. Perhaps more of a divisional breakdown like the NFL has would be better.

Really? I think that is back when you and I were young. 

Every year the Ravens spend every last dollar that they can. The Cowboys as much as I dislike Jerry Jones as a GM they do as well. The Yankees, Dodgers, and other teams would spend way more if they didnt have to manage the luxury tax issues.

I'm truly disgusted with the direction of the Orioles! I am pissed that the Angelos families ownership has wasted all of my adult life with their shenanigans! But this takes the cake as the worst thing I've ever seen. The inability to get anything of value for Villar and are now giving him away for free.

Not caring about the fans that pay for the product or even MASN cable dues.

 

This is like 143rd on the list during Angelos’ ownership. You must be the only Oriole fan that was tuning in to watch Villar play. I hope you recorded his at bats for maximum enjoyment.

I don't think Mark Cuban has lost money owning the Mavericks.

That isn't the point ...He's a huge basketball fan! He invests heavily in the team. He can own and or invest in many businesses.

Let me know when he spends half of the allowed salary cap and pockets the balance.

You'll be waiting forever!

That was also back when we were young. The Dodgers are not a vanity franchise, and many other teams are not.

Stolen bases directly impact WAR as they lead to more base running runs.

C'mon man. Read the whole thing. A stolen base percentage of around 80 percent has a small positive, but not substantial impact on baserunning runs, it was all the other things he did on the bases.

If he stole 60 and was thrown out 30 times it would be a negative impact.

Going back to your comment about rich guys buying teams as toys, have you checked what Jerry Jones was worth when he bought the Cowboys and what he's worth now?

I can't see how a salary cap would prevent teams from tanking to get top draft picks/

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
