I was dead wrong on Cespedes. No doubt.

Human beings: They're wrong sometimes (well, MOST human beings)

That's what happens when you don't need a job - you edit posts.

I have been on here a lot lately. 24/7 some might say.

Mark Buehrle's WAR

2009 5.0
2010 3.6
2011 3.5
2012 2.3

Well worth $58 million.

The best way to go about Internet baseball team WAR is to not have a team that you're a fan of. This way, when you attack the personnel moves of another team, no one can come back and cite bad trades/bad baseball business moves that YOUR team has made in the past.

It's a win/win, boys.

And to be clear, I hate many decisions that the Marlins FO have made in the past (they are terrible in the draft and they have bought high/sold low many times).

With that said, their moves at the deadline were not a fire sale. Not even close. But it was an easy story for lazy baseball writers.

only have paid him a bit over 5 million at this point, not a bad investment.... have your forgotten already? Marlins didn't intend to pay those contracts. It was all just a lure to sell those season tix. bait and switch

They were selling - whether you want to call it a fire sale or not.

The win/win is knowing what the fuck you're talking about. That's why you lose/lose.

Another contract that they'll probably have to eat (at least some) though.

yeah i'm not sure at this point. still a decent commodity for a lefty that pitches alot of innings.

when does that 2012 WAR umber go final and where does that rank him for lefty starters?

They're not paying $58 mil. They backload contracts so another team will be on the hook for it. Doubt he will be in Miami this time next year.

This was a terrible response to my post.

Let me hold your hand though this.

You don't have a team, son. So there's no way anyone can question your teams front office decisions.

I guess the Phillies also had a fire sale because 2/3 of their outfield is gone.

I'm not going to around in circles with this.

Please go out and get laid. It will get your mind off of me AND the Marlins.

Marlins and the Phillies had a fire sale.

Looks like on paper true, but what made the parallel different was the Marlins were not quite so far from the 2nd wildcard spot while only diehard Phils fans ( myself included thought they had a chance!

If someone could look at the dates the "fire sale" moves were made relating to the respective teams position in the playoff race! Could be wrong? Phils sales were very late and Blanton even went during waivers!

 

[FairWarning]

Baseball Prospectus has called for the collapse of the Phillies for the last couple of years. Age and injuries got them. Do Philly fans think Amaro can rebuild?

If the Marlins and Phillies had a fire sale this year, how would you describe what Wayne Huzienga did to the Marlins following their World Championship in 1997?

Those days are over, thanks to the change in Compensary draft pick rules before this year. If I were a Marlin fan that year, I would have been pissed.
