10th!? Shit, the Shavermetrics usually favor the Bats, but 10th sounds about right.

Shavermetrics badly underrates your own team.

As for me, 20th? I guess that's in the right range. I think we're better than we were last year. I'd say 70-75 wins for this team, perhaps being a little optimistic.

You have just made someone's day with this post.

Matt will let someone off with a warning tonight.

How is Philly so low?

Shavermetrics is a formula and it's a snapshot of a moment in time. I never agree with them 100% (for example, the Husk injury would take Mississippi down in my personal opinion).

It's not me. It's science. I don't do anything but input the data.

How is Philly so low?

Well, we're short a bat or two and we're quite young in several key spots. Seems about right.

[Carlos]

Wrong again. We're worse than that.

[Sully]

23rd? Doubt it.

[Jake]

At 15, we are severely overrated.

[Delandis]

Washington and Hartford are not better than us.

[Clay]

23rd? Doubt it.

It's not factored into the equation, but it's pretty amazing that your entire guaranteed salary coming out of ST ($19,400,000) is less than 4 player's one year salary this season (Kinsey, Carbajal, Woodbury and Keppel).

[Jistic]

Huh? 3rd? Speechless.

Impressive, I know. We tried to spend money. We went after Carbajal and Kinsey, and a couple others. At the end of the day, I just felt we were better off moving forward with what we have. 76-86 last year, I believe. A year older, and hopefully a year better. Two first round picks, including number 1 overall. We're moving in the right direction.
