    It's insane that a reigning (and two time!), healthy, and 31 year old Cy Young winner still isn't signed 10 days before opening day. I think a significant reason for it is the impact of analytics, which has Snell rarely pitch deep into the 3rd time through the lineup and also has teams prize the draft picks they would lose by signing a free agent like him. If I'm right, it's just the latest piece of evidence that MLBPA screwed up on the current collective bargaining agreement.

    Snell's problem is he has exceeded 130 IP twice in his career. He won the CY both times, but otherwise he's not worth a high AAV over a long term contact investement from the rest of his career. He wants to get paid like a #1, but hasn't shown he's capable of pitching to that standard consistently. It's likely he doesn't reach that innings level next season because it took him 6 years in between the 1st and 2nd time. No front office is paying $200M for a pitcher that will give you one quality saeson in his deal.

    I knew people were under seeding us. People didn't think we could get a 7 seed with 2 wins in the Big 12 tournament. We would have probably been a 6 at worst or 5. 

    All the metrics has us in the Top 20-25. That's a 6/7 seed line. It played out this season. In other seasons, we have been screwed, notably the season Florida got a 2-seed over us, and we got seeded as a 4, which lost to Arizona in Round 2, when the official thought 3 was 5.

    Missed the AAV part of that. While that’s true that’s not how Jimbo is conceptualizing the number. 
    I wonder if he’d be willing to do a 100 IP to guarantee year 2 along with his option.  JV did that. 

    Needs to be higher than that. I'd go 130. He's only hit that number twice in his career and won the CYA both times.

    This is probably for  another thread but seeing Shaka doing well elsewhere doing the things we thought he’d do here is so maddening. Whats Marquette projected to be seeded?

    2 and he will likley lose in the opening weekend, especially without his PG.

  5. Holy shit, Joe Lunardi just said Arizona was playing Oregon for the Pac-12 title. This stupid fucker doesn't even know what is going on, yet he's the expert on the field of 68.

    What a week for NC State…probably exhausted themselves and will flame out in their first tournament game now!

    Watch the committee give them a 1st round 11 seed matchup.

    They can't copy and paste correctly. They have CSU in both the West and South regions.
