September 18, 201610 yr I'm back in! [uSER=860]@el penguino[/uSER] [No not really, but good win today]
September 18, 201610 yr and Hill's best mid seaon acqusition, Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur with an absolutely stellar 0.0 WAR as a marlin
September 18, 201610 yr Let's take a look at Hill's off season acquisitions: Chen -.1 WAR Chris Johnson -.9 WAR (how's he still get abs?) Breslow -.2 WAR Edwin Jackson -.2 WAR Paul Clemens -.1 WAR Who else did I miss? Narveson was a 2015 addition but he also put up a nice -.6 WAR in 6 innings in 2016 Ege also 2015 but a really decent -.3 WAR in 3 innings
September 18, 201610 yr how amazing that Hill literally has not made a single trade or acqusition that has produced an above replacement level player. Get this guy a 10 year contract!
September 19, 201610 yr how amazing that Hill literally has not made a single trade or acqusition that has produced an above replacement level player. Get this guy a 10 year contract! For the record, Mathis has a 0.4 WAR this year. He was acquired this year. Other than that you're correct. Oh, and Brad Hand, who we lost on waivers, has a 1.4 WAR this year.
September 19, 201610 yr For the record, Mathis has a 0.4 WAR this year. He was acquired this year. Other than that you're correct. Make love, not war
September 19, 201610 yr Author For the record, Mathis has a 0.4 WAR this year. He was acquired this year. Other than that you're correct. Oh, and Brad Hand, who we lost on waivers, has a 1.4 WAR this year. Mathis was acquired in 2013 ... wut?
September 19, 201610 yr Mathis was acquired in 2013 ... wut? He was granted free agency then signed again. So like I said technically he was a + war acqusition
September 19, 201610 yr Author He was granted free agency then signed again. So like I said technically he was a + war acqusition But he didn't leave then come back. It's not an acquisition but rather a re-signing. That's it.
September 19, 201610 yr We need [uSER=2328]@SilverBullet1929[/uSER] to chime in on this, he teaches English doesn't he?
September 19, 201610 yr But he didn't leave then come back. It's not an acquisition but rather a re-signing. That's it. Right. I was going in a technicality.
September 19, 201610 yr Ichiro was a good pick-up, but that was a Loria initiative. I read that as Loria laxative at first
September 19, 201610 yr the brad hand 1.4 WAR thing is so amazing. So many board members, myself primarily, called for him to be a RP; instead they traded mader for a far worse pitcher
September 19, 201610 yr Cervenka -.1 WAR in 6 ip. Impressive Michael Mader (one of the two pieces traded for Cervenka) has a 2.40 ERA in 30 IP with the Braves AA squad. He's still just 22 years old. It's almost like this front office doesn't want a farm system.
September 19, 201610 yr Well I can't even follow his games again until 2018, and then if he even reaches the majors it'll be 2020 at the earliest. By that time Loria won't be owner, Rodney will have retired, and Stanton/Fernandez will be playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
