RatkoVarda Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 not sure why the Giants wanted Joc at $19.65M, but I think they are stuck with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think with a lot of those QO’s, teams are willing to do an overpay for a season vs having to commit for multiple. And the compensatory picks are nice to have, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This is interesting. Cameron never seemed that brilliant, but he worked hard and was ubiquitous on saber social media. He reached his dream job. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago, maybe, I don’t know, 10some plus years ago, Calcaterra did a weekly spot on local radio, just a 10-15 minute deal. I never found him to be arrogant and know it all, although he could be a bit more so in print from time to time. The local sports show is long gone, and I know he was moved on from NBC some time after. Haven’t followed him much at all since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't followed him closely in recent years. A lot of the sabers from that period were snarky know it alls which I don't think helped the saber movement. He wasn't one of my favorites, but I don't remember if he was worse than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a bomb thrower and a bomb receiver. Man oh man, when I got piled on for going after the BP/Fangraphs types for their blatant pro-player tilt in labor analysis, it opened my eyes to how toxic that was and I started unfollowing and muting a ton of those jerks.

RandyMarsh Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Teoscar Hernandez to the Ms for reliever Erik Swanson and prospect Adam Macko. Macko is the Ms 8th ranked prospect by pipeline with a 45 overall grade. Swanson's statcast page is sexy as hell so he looks to be a dominant reliever.
