This off-season is a litmus test for ownership, and Elias' ability to spend. I'm not expecting them to break the bank for anyone, but they absolutely need to attempt to make meaningful additions to th

You are setting yourself up for disappointment.  Assume a Gibsonish acquisition, and be pleasantly surprised if we get more.  You’ll stay more sane that way.

Honestly Gray would be my choice. In this Article Elias claimed to be in the monetary wheelhouse that Gray is likely looking. If we could get him in the 3 year 66-75 million I say get it done.

We need good pitchers, we don't need a LH staff just because of the wall. Good pitching from either side of the plate will neutralize the wall or the short trip to the flag court.

I would like to agree with you, but then Bruce Bochy proved otherwise with how he forced lineup matchups to utilize the wall in his favor during the ALDS.

Considering he has no other skill or obvious source of income, I’m assuming it all comes from the team. 

As far as personal income is concerned, I assume that some of it comes from the team, some from the law firm, some from investments and some is his wife's income.  Maybe he sits on a couple of boards.  But I'm just assuming. 

I know of no requirement for him to make all the revenues generated from the team public and by what method he chooses to reinvest what percentage in the team.  If and when that knowledge becomes public then we will have a basis for concluding whether it's sufficient or not.  It's pretty clear that he has no appetite for deficit funding, but hey John, prove me wrong.

You think the firm is making a profit?

What about the wife's music career?

I live a couple of miles south of Nashville and given how much I've heard about her, her income is probably at least enough for Sunday dinner at Hattie B's Hot Chicken with all the fixin's.  Whether there's enough left over for the Uber ride home is unclear.

How big a tip?

      Hm, seems like perfect situation for Akin as an opener, maybe game 3 if necessary?

      Another possibility: If you win game 1, maybe you don't ptich Eflin in Game 2 and try to win Game 2 without using him.   I mean, worst that can happen is you lose and have Eflin for game 3 anyway.   So you won't lose the wild card series without pitching your two best. But you COULD win the wild card series without your two best, and then you would have Eflin and Burnes lined up for games 1 and 2 in Cleveland

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

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I like Law a lot, but that is a beyond asinine comment about not playing every day on a playoff team. You know how many playoff teams would slot him in the lineup immediately every game? Answer: the large majority. The Yankees would take Cowser over Verdugo The Tigers might not put him in over Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, but they’d DH him over their options. Cowser would start over every outfielder for the Royals, IMHO. He’d start over Meyers and Dubon for the Astros. The Guardians would probably start him over anybody not named Kwan in the OF, tbh.  I can keep going.

      Even more of a reason to like FG over BBref,  tbh. Thanks, didn’t realize they switched this year. My point re: FIP is that I rather prefer it over RA/9, not to say it’s perfect. RA/9 treats all runs allowed by a pitcher the same regardless of them being earned or unearned. So, a pitcher on a team with a terrible defense is going to be judged much more harshly than somebody that pitches on a top tier defense. Not to mention the bullpen taking over mid inning dilemma. The funny thing is in your example re: FIP, RA/9 would have the first pitcher but love the second. Either way, these stats, like nearly all single solitary stats, aren’t best taken alone.  For your example, let’s say Pitcher A allowed weak contact and the defenders just had poor range, poor arms, whatever, but in the second example the defenders had great range and great arms making amazing plays to prevent any damage…then what?  Anyways, give me FIP over RA/9 was my point. But if you want to truly assess a pitcher, you’re going to need a few complimentary stats to go along with it.

      Really zooming the microscope in on one game with Tarik Skubal, would you consider batting Austin Slater 3rd or 4th to basically pinch hit in the 1st inning, and then replace him in LF with Cowser in the top of the 2nd inning. A tactic that might look good to the SIGBOT but could freak out actual ballplayers.

      It would make sense. I think there are four possibilities for not announcing Eflin yet: 1. It’s going to be Eflin, we’re just waiting to announce to make it harder for Tigers/Royals to prepare. 2. Hyde and FO are discussing whether to slot Eflin for game 3 to possibly save him for ALDS game 1. 3. Hyde and FO are discussing a possible opener strategy for game 2. 4. Eflin has some minor aches/pains/soreness so we’re delaying the announcement to make sure he will be healthy enough.
