Re: The 2014 Major League Baseball Season

but back to the main point-----if the Angels think they have a good enough relationship with Trout that they can lock him up before he hits FA, then this is undoubtedly a great move. Whether it happens or not, if they think they have the chance, they needed to give him a raise now

    Lotta stupid in here. Same people that don't understand WAR are the same knuckle staggers who believe in overpaying for no reason.

    My favorite part while scrolling through is lee saying that fans want to go to more Angela games now because they treated a superstar athlete well.

    I am sorry youneverknow and I are smarter than all of you morons. It is really sad at times how dumb the average sports fan. Not surprised since half the dumbos in here are phillies and Red Sox fans and have no idea about reality.

    It's amazing what being a fan of the Cubs/Nats will do to you, poor GoCubsNatsGo, there is no hope. Don't worry though, the new Cubbies mascot will ease your pain.

    yeah, its bad business for a team to give a good faith raise to a player in hopes they can sign him before he hits FA

    @keithlaw: @jontehBest There is none. What little evidence we have says it doesn't help.

    @jontehBest: @keithlaw can you help me in an argument? Is there any evidence at all that bumping a pre arb salary helps the team at all. Re: trout?

    oh wait, thats right. Keith Law doesnt realize human beings play games on dirt and grass. For him its advanced metrics on a computer screen

    there's no evidence to suggest a pre-arb raise doesn't help a team sign a player

    I feel like it would just be human nature to try to develop a positive relationship between player and front office before its time for long-term contract negotiations

    Can this argument die already? The season hasn't even started and I'm sick of this thread.

    We are clearly talking about a future contract and getting a discount. If you can't read context then I don't know what to tell you.
