I’m sorry about your feelings. FP is trash in many ways, but their projections can be useful if they’re based on three year averages. There are distinctions one must independently make in this game - e.g. if it’s a good idea to roster useless players with names you recognize (Patrick Corbin, Giancarlo Stanton). FP would be helpful to those who need to shed players from their roster that offer little value (Jake Cronenworth, Addison Barger).

Where FP and all projections fail is in evaluating young players, or identifying players with emerging value - namely those who have inherited closers’ roles, or are on the verge of doing so. I think you’ll find that my position on this has been very consistent, if the distinctions are recognized.

Come on man, don’t do the feelings thing. Just expressing an opinion, which you seemed to have feelings about too. I think I made some valid points, but that just me of course.

You’re the one that mentioned feelings. Your remark suggested that my trades are damaging to other teams. It’s basically the same tune sdaltons was singing last year, as he wallowed in the lower standings. I found your remark surprising, particularly because the trades we’ve made this year have been to your benefit.

Sure, but that’s just an expression. Clearly you have feelings too right? You seem offended.

The trades have benefitted you too, so don’t act like you were doing me a favor.

I was honestly just having some fun. I don’t think you are trying to rip people off, but your hard-head negotiating and persistence can be a little much. I think in every trade we’ve made, you’ve gotten who you wanted from the get go. For the deal to benefit me, often times I have had to go back and forth with you. That’s all I’m saying. Don’t like my opinion, fair enough.

The FP thing, I guess, but that isn’t context your provided before.

Well it’s a negotiation… you’ve described how most negotiations transpire. Back and forth.

There hasn’t been a back-and-forth w/ Imadangman. If there had been, he might have a closer or two and be in first instead of fourth. He’s rejected everything without counteroffers.

I’m not offended.

Right, which is what I said earlier on. Maybe ima doesn’t feel like doing that. I had to do that in order to get a decent deal. Even then, you still were somewhat hard to deal with.

I’m glad you’re not offended though.

Across the league, we have exactly as many QS as W (1,251). I kind of expected it to be close to 1-to-1.

However, at the team level, we go from ima (96 wins on only 75 QS) to FutureGM (76 wins on 98 QS).

Among the leading teams:

I have 84 W on 95 QS (-11)
Jeffy has 87 W on 78 QS (+9)
Quincy has 81 W on 87 QS (-6)
ima has 96 W on 75 QS (+21)
gg has 95 W on 84 QS (+11).

I have 90 wins on 93 qualifying starts, although apparently neither of those are worth mentioning
