I believe @Sir_Loin is an insider, but he's been quiet 2020. I think he's no longer inside the warehouse, but feel free to correct me @Sir_Loinif this isn't the case. 😎

He isn’t/wasn’t believe that!  He was entertaining and a good guy. 

BTW, he’s apparently gotten himself suspended on Twitter….he changed his handle to something contains Musk’s name.

Here is a small exchange I had with him.

I went to Auburn and have been following the coaching search. There’s a guy named bigbird on a message board I visit who claims to have all the inside info. It’s deja vu almost.

I miss those days honestly, even if it was mostly BS. Good stupid fun.

The insiders loved the attention.  They were all the same.  They'd hear  something and get one right and then they get all of the adulation from the board.  Then they'd come up with anything they could in order to get more of that adulation.  Posters used to wet themselves trying to get inside information. 

Yes, but it made it fun.

It was not fun for the mods.

Ah yea, the point of message boards. Fun for the mods!

Michael was great at this stuff and was able to weed out the fakes pretty quick. Honestly, I never had much of a problem with it as long as it wasn't unfounded BS. 

But as everyone should know, posting fake or made up "news, rumors, etc" is grounds for dismissal from the board.

But as it was mentioned earlier, Elias and company have a pretty tight lipped ship so it's hard for most people to get any "inside" scoop. 

I stopped trying to get information like this years and years ago because it just wasn't worth the hassle. 

But, if people want to have fun with stuff they found online (with links) have at it. The community can decide if they find it valid or not.

      Will he get 1 PA in the ALWC series? To put flesh on the bones, say against Lucas Erceg on for a Save at James McCann's spot in the lineup. He is behind all of O'Hearn, Mountcastle and Kjerstad probably on the depth chart, but if you get Ragans out by the 5th or 6th they could all be used before the endgame.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Spy Fox · Posted

      The race is close enough that the run environment should be a factor. In the steroid era or bouncy ball 2019, 15 W/3.50 ERA might be a much better performance than a .242 AVG/24 HR/good defense. Which is more impressive in light-hitting 2024? The whole league hit .243 this year, tied with 2022 as the lowest since... 1968.  I'd probably vote for Gil but I kinda feel like Cowser will win it in a close race. And I'm not sure NY bias is a thing in awards voting anymore with the more online media landscape and more stat-educated voters. When's the last time a NY player won an end of season award they didn't deserve?

      Chris Sale wasn't signed, he was acquired in a trade.

      All of what you posted is why you have to take both dWAR and fWAR with a grain of salt when it comes to valuing defense.  OAA strictly gives you how good a player is at his position vs other players at his position. There is no guessing involved. Now could OAA receive some tweaking, especially with infielders, I think so. I don't think OAA is perfect by any means, but let's say Santana did save his team 12 runs and let's say a SS was at 0 runs saved. Why should he be penalized for playing a less stressful position? In the end he did save runs vs a SS that didn't save or lose runs. I guess in the end you look at all the defensive metrics (OAA, dWAR, DRS) and then make your opinion based off them. I also use my scouting eye and watching most of the games, I'd say Cowser is an above average defensive outfielder with plus arm strength and way below average accuracy.

      A well-kept secret: the O’s rotation has the 6th best ERA in baseball

      Burnes and Eflin were fantastic keeping the team moving forward in a year Felix, Bradish and Grayson were mostly gone. It is fuzzy for me if you combine Elias' team's results in the cases of Albert Suarez and Trevor Rogers if that's a good job or a bad job. Some talk about people like Pivetta, but I don't see a ton of April/May/June demand.     Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, Povich and Suarez leave Rogers, McDermott and Young 6/7/8 already.    Are those guys ever going to pitch? Povich and Suarez showed enough in September it seems worth it to see April. We rarely see a decision Elias doesn't like to defer, and the first half of 2025 will give information how the roster needs to be managed.    How strong is Felix?    What setbacks do Bradish and Wells have?    Can Grayson hold up more than 2 straight months? Elias is building a body of work he'll win the bids for Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin when necessary, but I don't think this winter is one of those times.

      Lugo is pretty underrated honestly.

      OAA and dWAR are two measure that people use to determine if a player is a good defensive player or not. They absolutely can be mentioned when talking defense. They both measure the defensive ability of a player, though they do it differently. Acting like it some kind of horror to mention them together is one of the more ridiculous stances I've ever seen you take here.  NOBODY said they measure the exact same thing and the EXACT same way, but they absolutely are two measures people use to determine if a player is good defensively.  OAA shows Cowser to be a well above average defensive outfielder while dWAR shows Cowser to be more average. I think OAA in this case absolutely is a better indicator of Cowser's defensive ability.
