    Does anyone else think Sasaki looks a ton like Yelich?

    You can continue to misrepresent what I'm saying, I'll waive the white flag and tell you how smart you are. The players should agree to whatever the owners want because they will all make more money and it's all for the good of the game. In fact everyone from any career path that has an arbitrary cap has made more money because of it. Have you considered a career with the MLBPA, the players probably have much to learn from you as I have today.

    Here's where I tell you to get better at reading into things that aren't really there. I never said 64% of all revenue. And yes, players make more now than they did then, guess what, so does the average American. None of that diminishes the fact that the owners are doing better than the players and have been ever single negotiation since the cap was agreed to. The same will happen to the MLB players too. They might well make a lot more money 30 years from now too, but it will be a percentage of what the owners have made during that same time. Using your example of White vs Parsons, that is a 11x increase, no small thing until we look at the example of the valuation increase of the Packers which, using the low end valuation of 5.6B is a 48x increase. And that increase is, as you have said, because of the "non-football" revenue and the cost certainty of the cap. I'll never side with the Billionaires at the expense of the Millionaires, I don’t care that the Millionaires make a lot more than I do, they should. What I care about is limiting the financial manipulation that the Billionaires are able to get away with and a cap doesn't do that, it simply serves to enrich them more than they are. The cap is nothing more than a means to ensure that their valuations continue going up as opposed to the moderate stagnation that they will claim has occurred recently.

    Was this not an implied statement that Owners were not more wealthy or are you just bad at structuring thoughts?

    What do we think Houser's contract looks like?
  6. jw5511986
    Unless he's coming for whatever the equivalent of a vet minimum is and good with spot duty (ie not 8th or 9th inning) I'm the loudest of No's
  7. jw5511986
    If there is a 2 year lock out just fold up the league.

    The fact that the team is public owned, the Packers were valued at $115MM in 1992 per a report by Financial World and are now valued at $5.6-6.3B according to Forbes and other sources. In what world does that not mean owners are more wealthy now than they were?
  9. jw5511986
    I'm skeptical that we're even getting a cap this time, the owners can't afford to miss a year with a media rights deal that ends after the 28 season. And I understand they have more resources than the players but the players can't except a cap, it's a loser long term. NFL players are down to 48% from the 64% they originally agreed to, meanwhile the owners have never been more wealthy.
  10. jw5511986
    The cap isn't going to be $150MM below what the Dodgers and Mets are currently spending, you'll still have them spending big on 12 guys with 14 either pre or arb. And the bottom end payrolls will be at or near the floor, it's not an equalizer in that way. Also you don't need to look much past the NBA model to see how the stars still managed to accumulate on a few teams before the 2nd apron introduction (that's not coming at the same time as a hard cap).
  11. jw5511986
    Sure but your top end talent is still going to want to go to the big markets. Probably you keep guys like Turang but Chourio still goes and he goes faster than he otherwise would have.
  12. jw5511986
    Awful for small markets with effective scouting and development operations.
  13. jw5511986
    Re: Woodruff, I just don't know what seems realistic there. The buyout is I believe half the contract number, I don't know what his market would look like this year but it seems conceivable to me he could find at least another $10MM somewhere else.
  14. jw5511986
    By my count (it's probably wrong) we can pay $17MM to free up $65MM from next year's cap, obviously don't see us going crazy but should free up some money to either make some short term adds or allocate towards extensions.
  15. jw5511986
    This is the right answer.
  16. jw5511986
    He's not going anywhere, I think you know this, don't worry trying to explain it.
  17. jw5511986
    What do we think a theoretical Peralta trade would bring back in the off-season? I assume the package would include at least 1 MLB caliber piece but I'm struggling to imagine what the total might look like.
  18. jw5511986
    How is this not a golden era if the major gripe around here is not being competitive late in the playoffs? What time in our entire history besides 1982 was better than now?
  19. jw5511986
    Were you around between let's call it 1988 and 2008? Bc if you were this is a hell of a lot better than that.
  20. jw5511986
    Look this sucks no doubt, still super proud of the boys, but do we have anything realistic coming in 26? AAA roster looks like a wasteland frankly and that's concerning, obviously plenty of interesting talent at AA and below.
  21. jw5511986
    Welp
  22. jw5511986
    I asked the same question but admittedly it didn't look like a great throw.
  23. jw5511986
    Miz is painting, good lord
  24. jw5511986
    Two absolutely hit on the screws that if they are a foot either side are possibly hits.
  25. jw5511986
    Do we have any pitching coming for opening day? We really need some more fresh blood.
