It's just another example of Gip trying to cling to yet another misguided notion. "Prove it" deals are the antithesis of Moneyball, because if a player proves it he becomes expensive. Greg Robinson was signed for two-years... by Dorsey.... hardly a Moneyball GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Geez, Gip... and you were just on Urban Dictinary... Quote post whore 1. A newbie to an online forum who goes into overtime posting many short and usually meaningless posts in an attempt to raise their post count to pass the newbie stage ASAP. 2. A type of trolling or board saboteur where the intent of the person is to invade the forum with an annoying presence. 3. A person who is starving for attention in real life and compensates for their shortcomings in society by living in a forum and inserting their presence across the board everyday and sometimes all day. As soon as their post count breaches the highest recorded for the forum, they often begin to post frequently on the direction the board should take. It is not uncommon to see their avatars change frequently often with a theme of power. Forum members will begin to try to put the member in check but to no avail as the person is feeding off of their imaginary power to which they compensate for their lack of real world activity. (Most notorious for fitting this definition is the member: Bluto from getbig dot com) 4. A person, who feels their higher post count gives them added credibility in the forum, even over people who have contributed for much longer and as such they go to great lengths to increase their post count. 5. A post whore is a virtual attention whore. The attention whore brings the same attitude into online forums where they assert their “look at me” persona by invading the board with a large presence of posts.

You do this a lot, dude, and it really doesn't help [or further understanding]. Please stop. Well, clearly there were two points being discussed....."finding undervalued" players...AND contract length. My question had to do with the 1 year contracts. Maybe I did need that for my further understanding...Why were all these players given just one year contracts? And, if I re-iterated something....so what? What harm did it do. 3 hours ago, Flugel said: It's about a guy that can't handle the truth when it should be about the subject heading. Why do you think I could not handle the truth? Is asking a question about the nuances of these matters so objectionable.? Or speculations thereon? Questions like: Why just the one year contracts? Why/how does this fit into DePodesta's (and Berry's) modus operandi? Again, what do you find objectionable about those questions (and the subject heading is about this player...who possibly is one of those undervalued players with a one year deal.

The one point being discussed was contract length, full stop. Tour answered your first "question" with his first post in the thread. Dislike him as you will. But when he states : On 3/20/2020 at 12:24 PM, Tour2ma said: Moneyball used Bill James' analytics to ID under-valued players. Then they locked those players up for as long as was reasonable considering their age that is.. the end of it. He's right. That's not a discussion - that's the one-line brief explanation to bring you up to speed. Except the word in bold is of course the part where the discussion is possible, which again brings us back to contract length, which is what I said last post. And when you spent the rest of the first page after the above post talking about one-year deals.. that is also a question about contract length, because if the players weren't undervalued, they wouldn't be getting an offer of any length.

Flugel Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 9 hours ago, Icecube said: Is this his 12th season? Legit question and a perfect distraction from Gipper wasting everyone's time on what he wants Moneyball to mean. It's going to be his 11th year so he'll be a 1 year contract. Think of him as a player coach until we get a young feller in there we can get up to speed. Might not be a bad signing when it all plays out. After trading for Tyrod Taylor, we did this with Drew Stanton for Baker Mayfield the year we drafted Baker #1 overall. Here's what Berry added in FA this year: TE Austin Hooper, RT Jake Conklin, QB Case Keenum, ILB/MLB B.J. Goodson, DT Andrew Billings, CK Kevin Johnson, S Karl Joseph, and S Andrew Sendejo. I think only the first 3 guys received contracts longer than 1 year. Outside of Keenum and Senjejo - most of theese guys are only about 26 years old. It's a different approach than Dorsey (who traded for a lot of players by giving up draft picks and/or veterans as well as the cap space). It'll be interesting to see how this works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
