yeah, there's a fine line between encouraging support and enabling bad owners. As someone who roots for a team owned by guys who treat the fans like shitheads and laugh about it, you are lucky to have a guy willing to be outspoken like LeBatard.

Sounds like Loria knows his days of pocketing revenue sharing is over after what happened to the A's. His golden goose is cooked, time to move on Also, Forbes valued the Marlins at 520 Million as of 2016, the purchase price is INSANE

Absolutely terrible news, my heart goes out to his family Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Feels like a lateral move

You lie. Better hurry, Yankees fans are grabbing the good seats on the bandwagon.

Very occasionally. But when I do get to check forums, this is one I head to first.

@Admin, you should really bring back the Mets April Fools theme.

Yes! Hojo was the man. My favorite Met as a kid. Come back to the dark side Admin, we've got Shake Shack waiting for you.

All your Admins are belong to us! Muahahaha

I think it's hilarious and love that the Yankees best player is a guy no one wants on the team.

​Don't let Lurry fool you, this place is run by a Mets fan

Heh.

Pardon, I forgot you guys turned into a bunch of sensitive pusses who can't put up with any kind of friendly discussion. I'll head back into my hibernation.

fWAR and rWAR are the same stat - Wins Against Replacement - but the issue is different sources have different scales and formulas for calculating. fWAR is from Frangraphs, rWAR is baseball reference, and Baseball Prospect (WARP) calculates it different too. In my example, the different sources rank the players differently

Your projections regarding the pen are a little faulty. The variance between fWAR and rWAR is stark to say the least . fWAR for Mike Dunn was at a .9 last year and Jeurys Familia (the Mets most reliable set-up man) at a .5. Meanwhile rWAR had Dunn at a .2 and Familia at a 1. Jenrry Mejia was a fWAR/rWAR .2/1 which Cishek was 2/.9 - again, disparate to say the least. Basing projections and value on a stat that is so subjective doesn't convince me. Your projection also doesn't take into account that Parnell - either .7 or 1.2 WAR reliever in his last full season depending on the source - returns to the pen after one appearance last year. In fact I would argue the Mets have 2 proven closers and young power arms throughout middle relief that the Marlins just don't. Cishek took a quantum leap forward in punchouts that will interesting to see if he is able to maintain. Dunn posted 10 wins that I don't expect to see again either.

​I think it is a pretty even match-up. I feel like the Mets have better starting pitching and bullpen, Marlins have a better offense. I'm just glad to see both teams on the rise and the Phillies and Braves in the shitter

In today's game were the SS has regressed back to little offense, he would probably be an all star.

.000rdonez - he was so much fun to watch. Too bad he couldn't hit hit weight

It's a 2 year deal, they gave a 40 year old 400 pound pitcher more money last year and certainly much better than the Granderson deal. This is not a huge layout, but the pick kind of sucks. But they have to go for it at some point and if Cuddyer can help get them over that hump (they'll need a SS too) than go for it.

I really hope it works out, I always like to see talent like Stanton ride it out with the franchise they started with.

Someone died in the same spot not long ago as well, sad story.

I took it, hope it helps.

That's great news.
