Read on to see how we did forecasting Duda's performance
If you're willing to make predictions, you've got to be willing to go back and see how they turned out.
Last year the Brewers began a rebuilding phase. They traded away players on big contracts during the year, including Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Gomez, Gerardo Parra and Jonathan Broxton. The end result is that their end of year payroll was much lower than their Opening Day payroll. For this project, 2016 payrolls were based on 2015 [...]

It’s no fun to lose, especially the closer you get towards winning a championship. It’s so disappointing to Mets fans to be down 3-1 in the World Series, especially since the series could easily be 3-1 in the other direction. The hardest thing of all is listening to the insufferable national broadcast. Because they don’t [...]
The Royals took a commanding 3-1 series lead with a 5-3 win Saturday night. The Mets did not play particularly well or particularly smart. The final punch in the stomach came in the 9th inning when Yoenis Cespedes got doubled off first base on a soft liner to end the game. Of course the big [...]

Yesterday, Charlie wrote an article at the site discussing, among other things, the contributions of Sandy Alderson to the NL pennant winners. A couple of people in the comments were not overjoyed with Alderson receiving praise. One felt that Omar Minaya should receive more credit than he gets and another thought that the rebuild took [...]
Here was my take on Daniel Murphy on September 25: In his last 11 games, Murphy has a .370/.396/.761 line, with 10 of his 17 hits going for extra bases. He’s scored seven runs and driven in 10 during this stretch, in which he’s struck out just three times in 48 PA. Murphy may be [...]
