    The First Half

    Which is why we should be aggressive buyers THIS deadline, IMO. The "future" is this season.

    Did you know that Aaron Judge is the greatest thing ever? Literally EVER???

    I'm sure playing in the biggest market with the most storied franchise in the history of the sport adds to that.

    Did you know that Aaron Judge is the greatest thing ever? Literally EVER???

    Aaron Judge is the story of the first half of 2017. I understand why some may not like that, but the media has to acknowledge it.

    Reds @ Dback series thread July 7th - July 9th

    This is rating him against a hypothetical "ideal" and not the actual players he's competing with. Of the top 4 NL players in WAR so far, I can find comparable slumps for each other them. Rendon: 4/3 -4/19 (to start the season) 50 PA .191/.240/.234 Goldschmidt: 6/27 - 7/9 50 PA .186/.300/.395...

    Reds @ Dback series thread July 7th - July 9th

    Isn't it possible that his slumps always "seem to come at the wrong time" because he IS carrying the team, at least offensively? If they came at the "right time" that means there are other players there to pick up the slack. Baseball isn't an individual sport. Who is your MVP?

    Cardinals @ Dbacks series thread June 27th - June 29th

    http://www.fangraphs.com/wins.aspx?date=2017-06-28&team=Diamondbacks&dh=0&season=2017 There was one bad call against Drury on a 2-1 count, but there was a badly missed strike called a ball against Hermann too. Other than that I think it looks pretty fair.

    Trade Deadline Targets

    This year is a unicorn. If you're buyers then sell the farm. It's not that strong anyways. All IMO of course.

    Montero Traded to Scrubs, City Mourns

    You and 82 carried the water for Towers for a long time through a ton of stupid moves. I don't remember how you two felt about Stewart's short tenure. You can believe what you want to believe, but I think it's foolish, the baseball community thinks it's foolish, and the results of their tenures...

    Trade Deadline Targets

    Definitely need OF help. Yelich or Ozuna would be nice.

    Montero Traded to Scrubs, City Mourns

    Goldy was drafted by Byrnes. Grienke was signed by LaRussa (widely known Stewart was not involved). The signing of good framing C Iannetta and Mathis (signed by Hazen) vs horrible framing of Castillo (signed by Stewart) has really made team ERA improve. Bradley to BP was done under...

    You store the baseballs in it. ARI has the second highest altitude stadium in MLB. High altitude dry air makes the ball tighter and harder. Makes pitching more difficult and makes the ball travel more. Humidor makes the balls spongier, which makes this expand and easier to grip.

    Montero Traded to Scrubs, City Mourns

    Like I said, accounting for all the mediocrity the organization has had, you can't say we've "won" anything. It's Trumpian logic IMO to attempt to.

    Montero Traded to Scrubs, City Mourns

    I was thinking 2007. Had forgotten about our LDS blip in 2011. Speculative at best here. In those two years, the DBacks lost the trade by 3.4 WAR (2013) and 1.7 WAR (2014).

    Montero Traded to Scrubs, City Mourns

    How do you account for the years of mediocrity in between now and say, 10 years ago? It seems to just be ignored in these equations. It doesn't take long for the evaluation of these chains of trades begin to become asinine. In no way have we received 13.7 WAR back in the Justin Upton trade.

    Pollock injures quad during rehab stint

    Let's hope so, right? Goldschmidt is having quite the resurgence given recent history. I think he and Pollock (who's not doing much for the club) were the only ones I thought had enough trade value to move. I know they'll have a better chance to compete long term without that Pollock...

    Some of us knew Montero was a cancer, but wouldn't be believed by his more.......adoring fans.

    Pollock injures quad during rehab stint

    I'm very glad the FO decided to not give AJ a long term contract. I was very vocal in being against it at the time and I know there was a lot of pressure from the fan base to foolishly throw money at him.

    #1 vs. #2

    I found them. http://www.82games.com/barzilai1.htm Shows that, although there are outliers for every slot I'm sure, you're likely to get more value the earlier you pick.

    Who's your starting rotation?

    I will say this, we do seem to have a smarter FO/Management team than we've had in many years.
