lol you gotta be more specific haha
But yea I get what you're saying now. I prefer wRC+ for total offensive production. We're no 2nd worst but we're definitly down there. This is from 6/2/23 through today. 100 is league average, we're at 84. 84!!! Braves have been over 50% better. That's so damn sad.
Yup 100% agreed. It’s crazy to me how far they’ve come, I could never imagine a regular fan/content creator getting to interview Joe Torre on a weekly basis during that era(or any manager or era etc) but it’s cool that they have taken full advantage of the opportunity and don’t just ask generic filler questions all the time
It was 2years. He didn’t have sustained performance. Been a higher than average injury risk. Guaranteed if his next 2 starts are bad he will probably be shut down with some injury. So your track record doesn’t matter? Just like how most guys play better on contract years. He literally had 2 AWFUL seasons before those 2 good ones but you’re going to give him a 6yr 160 mil contract?!? He doesn’t have a name to bring Any fans to the stadium so it was strictly a signing that moron Hal and Cash thought would put this team a level up.
He threw 41 combined inning in 19 and 20. I couldn't care less about "name." If you're only going to sign guys with 5 years of dominating performance, you're signing 40 year olds or one guy every 10 years. Seriously, go look at the SP market last year and tell me who you'd rather sign, not some mythical FA SP that didn't exist. He was the #1 SP on the market.

Literally everyone that follows the game for a living had him ranked as the #1 SP but you'll Monday Morning QB it and say you knew all along. Seriously, tell me who you would have signed.
Go back and you can see I was against the signing from jump, just like Hicks and Montas moves too. Would’ve rather not made the big signing that’s going to be Hal and Cash excuse not to open the wallet. You don’t have to spend just to spend if you aren’t in a position to win a WS.
Wasn’t Carl Pavano at one point the best pitcher on the market? My point is, you don’t have to sign someone just because they became a FA at a hot time. If it’s not worth the risk skip that FA period. The one FA period we should’ve been all in on and needed we sat out.He threw 41 combined inning in 19 and 20. I couldn't care less about "name."

2022-23 free agents, position by position
Here is a position-by-position breakdown of the 2022-23 free-agent class. Players are grouped by position and ranked by their FanGraphs' wins above replacement total across 2021-22. Each player's 2023 seasonal age is included in parentheses next to his name.
Name the last FA SP you would have signed that was under 35.
The thing is we don’t have to sign a FA pitcher under 35. Id take Verlander and his contract over Rodon any day.
