Good work, guys. Can’t wait to enjoy on my commute tomorrow morning.
Paul, you’ve been promising the split of S&TB and Field pf Streams into separate feeds for two months now. Time to let those guys sink or swim, yeah?
I love the podcast as always.
One topic for next session: Eno said the auction calculator was really high on Pablo Sandoval coming in to the season (presumably Fenway?), but Eno worried about the bad body long term. In the last pod, Paul called Pablo a “high floor” guy, but this floor feels less than high. Any reason for the struggles besides bad luck and a tough start to the season for the lineup?
I’d love to hear you and Eno talk about (or have someone at FG write about) bad defenses effect on pitching. Does Siera (or any other predictors) take this into account? SD has terrible defense & all of the SD pitchers are pitching worse than their projections, I suspect, because of it. In particular, I’d like to hear if you guys really think Tyson Ross’s rate stats are really going to get much better (3.81/1.53 – Siera=3.38).
Paul, love the podcast. Just catching up on this episode. About Betances…am I crazy to deal him and Carlos Martinez to the Miller owner for Cano and Clippard? I think maybe. Harrison/Zobrist as my 2B. Ten team, mixed, so pitching depth on the wire, but I’m liking Martinez.
