Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostMLB revenues are up, therefore free agents get more money (as it should be). There will still be good signings and bad signings, but you can't sign players now for what they would have cost 5 years ago.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Originally posted by revo View PostIt's not your imagination. The Royals discovered the new Moneyball angle, that paying three guys decent money to lock down 33%-40% of a game when ahead is worth more than paying one guy huge money. It makes a lot of sense -- if we could guarantee that reliever stats don't wildly fluctuate from year to year, which is often the case.
But KC has quietly re-signed Jason Frasor and Luke Hochevar, so it certainly appears they appreciate the value the bullpen gave them.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor
