Itd be the same. Hes pretty freakin good when hes on the field. But he has to have a couple healthy years before the injury concerns can be put behind him.
Jordan would have won 77 in todays eastern conference. No Reggie, Ewing, or Bad Boys to go thru?? LBJ has had a cake walk to the Finals almost every single year since the big 3 broke up in Boston.
blake griffin is a cancer. He is a complete waste of a ridiculous amount of talent. I like Detroit a lot. Always have. They need to let him go. He aint worth it.
Just to clarify: It's the total WAR for ALL mlb players divided by total dollars spent for ALL players? Trying to understand here.
i read on MLBTR that 1 WAR is 8 million dollars. That coupled with the method I posted earlier led me to the conclusion that it is 8 million per 1 WAR.
So Altuve "earned" 60.1 million last year with a total of 7.5 WAR. Divide them and you get 8.01. If you go back, it has inflated very slightly over the last 4 years (by less than a million)
head over to Fangraphs. At the bottom it will show you the dollars each player earned and the WAR they accrued. Divide the dollars by the WAR and you will come up with ~8 million dollars. That's my source.
Here's the thing: WE WILL NEVER KNOW. It didn't happen, so it is hard to tell if Starks/Oakley/Ewing would have beat the Bulls in 94 or if Penny/Shaq would have beat them in 95. I do know that both of those teams were very good. Orlando had to beat the Bulls (with MJ) and a really good...
That is one of the more impressive things about him. He held strong to his faith. I don't think it would have been a huge bump, but it was a month every year so who knows.
Were you even alive when they won? Did you even watch one of their games that year? Or are you just pushing a narrative you read about form some ESPN columnist? This is one of the dumbest (and honestly pointless) arguments that keeps coming back. Move on.
Tanking is no fun. And if you dont have a front office who actually knows what you are doing you can turn into the Pirates or Padres really fast. I don't recommend it for every team. The Detroit fan base is one of the strongest in the country. It's very underrated. They deserve better than a...
I am a firm believer in the idea that you must beat the champs before you can be considered the favorites. The Rockets with home court advantages would be a push with the Warriors IMO. It could go either way. I'll need to see the Warriors lose a series before I bet against them.
Yup, this is when Russ turns up the notch. He led OKC to a blistering 8-6 record last year in this same time frame. What a competitor. Lose isn't in his vocabulary until he plays the Rockets in the playoffs. Jordan never had to turn anything up because his notch was always all the way up. The...
gonna be lazy here, but the average value of a Win for a player is 8 million dollars. Altuve has averaged 6.7 WAR the last 4 years of his career. So let's be conservative here and say that he averages 4 WAR until his age 30 season (the next 3 years) and then averages 2 WAR for the remainder of...
Great deal for all sides. Altuve probably leaves some money on the table, but the Astros reward him for his greatness the last 3 years.
More importantly, this deal doesnt prevent the Astros from adding payroll this year or next. Verlander will come off the books when this kicks in.
