Also, that 60 day rule is a big reason why there is a rash of free agent signings around mid February when 40 man spots open up.

You have to activate 60 day guys in the offseasom.

I am mildly perturbed by it, in part because it doesn't really solve the core issue. Sorry to say but a lot of the people who are really struggling with the debt will just be hampered by some other type of debt because their money habits are pathetic.

People don't believe me he is worse than Trump.

I would be willing to bet the fastball is harder on the elbow than the slider. I know I have read otherwise back in the middle part of last decade, but fastball velocity has increased significantly of late.

This is a bit dated, but this type of calculation is a lot more reasonable than anything McCosky and his complete lack of ability to understand any roster rules or nuance could muster. Note the Tigers aren't listed, which implies they don't have a crunch to worry about. Plenty if flotsam on the current 40 man. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/examining-the-american-leagues-2022-40-man-crunch/

De La Rosa as in Eric De La Rosa? He may not even get protected from the AAA Phase. Anyways, McCosky doesn't know what he is talking about, in general. In the case of SGL, they don't pick him up in the deadline if they don't plan on adding him.

Gio Arriera was cut today. 4th rounder in that oh-so-stellar 2017 Draft. The 2-5 picks are all either retired or released.

It may not be once you factor in run scoring environment. (looks it up). It is worse even when you factor in environment.

He seemed to be reciting something from memory. I've come to the conclusion that most of these "interview a MAGA person" things aren't legit.

4 man rotation because of all the off-days. Don't need a 5th starter until September 3 (assuming full health, which is dumb). It makes sense.

Was it somebody in here who said their analytics establishment is a giant cluster and a lot of the public comments from Avila and Illitch has been white wash? I forget where I heard that or read it, but it seems to jive. You can have fancy labs and equipment, but without good data, without good analysis, and without good processes, it may do more harm than good.

And a pretty good defense that year. I remember Leyland saying often that bullpen was good because he got to use them when he wanted.

I wonder how much of those bad bullpens was bad defense stretching the pitching thin.

They all report to Sartori.

What if the analytics staff or pro scouting outfit is a complete cluster and throwing everybody off? I'm not saying it is; I'm just saying unless you are behind the scenes you don't know the cause. Also, the projection systems weren't too high on this offense coming into the season. It's underperformed, but not as much as we think, especially once you factor in the reduced run scoring environment.

Devil's advocate: without being on the inside, we can't say that the hitting implosion is Coolbaugh's fault.

Wily Peralta's contract incentives aren't public, but it wouldn't shock me if he had one coming at 40 IP.

Define "see in a Tigers uniform." I say that because Parker seems likely to be added to the 40 Man Roster this offseason, thus you may get a spring training photo of him sooner.

Yeah, I got you. I just kinda wanted to make it clear that things have changed a lot in the past 20 years or so.

Oh, I thought you were talking years. Carry on.

He wasn't there any of those years.
