[USML Announce] Help Me With the Math

[Jeffrey Winick]

Now we're talking.  Thanks for the clarification.  Given that Brad is now the guy who will be eating the bug, I'd definitely appreciate some help in locating something that is appropriately juicy.  You live in the suburbs, right?  I'm thinking a rehydrated cicada might do the trick.

But just to fill you in on league history.  There is some precedent here.  Mr. Gammons once promised to eat a bug and we're still waiting.  Hopefully Mr. Jansen will have the stones to actually man up WHEN he loses this bet.

Jeff, what i meant to say earlier was "Help supplying the bug, or getting it OVER 50?"  No wonder you got the wrong impression.

But it looks like either you or Brad are eating a bug now.

I may bid 60 just to lock him up, or I may let the rest of you bid high on those guys and continue to drive your cash streams down.  I don't know, I haven't decided yet.

So, Dennis, that's the way it's going to be huh?  ;-)

Good to know.  But be prepared for me putting you to the test.  I may just start the bidding at $49 and see what you're made of.

Help supplying the bug, or keeping it under 50?

Brad Lee,

That would be $50 for each.

And how about this for putting my money (or is that stomach) where my mouth is.  I'll eat a bug if Pujols goes for less than $50.

(Dennis, I'm counting on you to help me out here.....)

Jeff, is that fifty for both? Please be more precise if you intend to say something else, and I assume you do.  Neither goes for fifty. That's my prediction.

So says the man who has spent heavily on protected pitching.

While I agree that the very top starting pitchers have all been retained, it looks to me like there's a reasonably deep pool of pitchers at the next tier.  It's the offense where I think things are likely to get more interesting.  Factoring in that:  (i)  most teams already have at least one top starting pitcher retained; and (ii) the historical hesitancy of this league to bid up pitchers, I expect the inflation factor on hitting to be quite high and the inflation factor on pitching to be relatively low.  I figure Pujols and Fielder go for $50+.
