I think if you are perpetually priming yourself for future success there will be a time when you catch up and are in a state of perpetual winning...that is if you do it right.

I get why it has value.
I just hate it. I'm throwing a tantrum about it. Let me do this.
I don't like that defensive metrics are included in it. I don't keep up with it as much as I use to, but I know they use to always state defensive metrics are very hard to accurately judge. Don't get me wrong, I value defense greatly. I don't have any better way to value the overall value of a player though, so I do agree with Barry that it is basically the best way to get a decent value of a player. I do like wOBA and wRC+ for offense though.
Anyway, I hope my gut is correct and it's not just my Nats hate, cuz it's telling me Eaton just went from underrated to overrated!
Nah, he's been a damn good top of the order guy, just hope he starts falling off in a year or two.

What's the point in trading valuable pieces away, for younger pieces, only to trade them when they become valuable? Are we going to perpetually plan for the future? What a CF.
The white sox, just like the Reds in their run from 2010-2013 were stars and scrubs. Unfortunately for the white sox...and Reds their scrubs were just too scrubby.

Good Lord.
Folks we are in the era of paying 86 million dollars to relievers

word is that a twins/dodger trade centered around dozier for de leon and possibly yadier alvarez with a couple of other pieces is imminent. this dude is supposed to be a big deal

Not any reliever, the top 2 in the game.

That's where baseball is at right now. It's not just one closer anymore. We're already seeing teams with more than one dominant set up guy coming in 4/5 nights a week to shut it down. Sure, the starters may pitch 6 or so to eat up innings... but teams are basically playing playoff baseball in May.
The game has shifted to this IMO.

yea me neither. that guy is talking like it will be JDL, alvarez, AND bellinger plus a fourth prospect
that just seems way too insane to do and goes against every precedent this FO has set so well see

Lord Jesus 5yr/86. Thats a lot of dough.

I think it's going to end up being one of those three, verdugo, calhoun, and a 4th
That's the only way I see us doing that. I don't see us trading two of JDL, Alvarez, and bellinger

Well I personally think it is a dumb deal but it is not my money.

Seems Nats are in on Kenley.
Anyone need a middling 4/5 SP? I imagine Gio will be on the block given payroll considerations if that happens.
