His obsession for Norby clouds everything else. Norby isn’t even that good but he believes he’s some really good player…even though he can’t play defense and there are some legit concerns with his bat. Rogers has a 4 WAR season..the guy he says sucks. Norby may not be a 4 WAR guy in his entire career unless he greatly improves, which may be tough for him considering his age. All of it is based around those 2 players and his completely factually wrong way of looking at them. -
Here you say the goal is a WS. In another thread you say perennial contender like the 60-70's. Those goals cause tension in how a smaller mid-market team runs the org that get painted over trivially in our fanhood. -
Check that: he is 'risk averse' but not in the common usage.

What do you mean? He led the league in strikeouts on pitches in the center of the chest. 😉 -
No disagreement here. Signing a Pivetta or whoever from a non-Burnesian tier doesn't mean Elias is 'risk averse' (other than the incomplete common usage).

So much has been made of Burnes’ K/9 decreasing since 2021. However, in 2021 that’s when Burnes starting throwing his cutter more than 50% of the time. So being as the cutter is such a dominant pitch, and induces weak contact, he started throwing it more, and now gets less Ks, but weaker contact. Why should we penalize Burnes for inducing weak contact instead of trying to strike everyone out? I’d say the increased cutter usage has a lot of pros. Less breaking balls equals less strain on his arm. He’s more pitch efficient. We have a strong defense behind him with the WALL. To me, if we were ever going to give a pitcher a big deal, he’s the guy. For a risk adverse Front Office, Burnes is about as risk adverse as it gets. But… stuff still happens. See Screenshots below from Baseball Savant and BBref. -
Agreed. He's acting/speaking more like a fan than an owner.
