Are there other factors I'm not considering? D, what do you think? Why wouldn't (relative) salaries move in line with IP (and presumably WAR?).*

there is a ton of noise in relief pitcher statistics - By d August 2, 2025 at 06:43:35 AM
you could argue that Kahnle getting 7.75 for 1-2 innings work is in line with Flaherty getting 25 mill for 5-6 inning, although Flaherty only goes every 5-6 games - By Rich August 1, 2025 at 09:14:45 PM
- I'm only talking about salaries moving relative to previous years (and relative to each other). So whatever premium a starter deserves over a 5th reliever, shouldn't it go down if he's pitching 170 innings instead of 220, and the 5th reliever is pitching 70 instead of 20? - By jjwalker August 1, 2025 at 09:36:15 PM
  - you would think so. I don't think it's happened but I haven't seen an analysis* - By Rich August 1, 2025 at 10:17:30 PM

Now they are under team control. Kahnle makes 7.75 mill but he's 36 yo* - By Rich August 1, 2025 at 08:57:26 PM

$'s is a different argument. Right now it's about winning games. * - By django August 1, 2025 at 08:15:23 PM
- Hinch is excellent at what he does - By Rich August 1, 2025 at 08:22:07 PM
  - he has deviated from "the book" probably more than any other manager in MLB the last 2 years - By d August 2, 2025 at 06:44:37 AM

things that can be measured statistically are not matters of opinion - By d August 1, 2025 at 08:08:32 PM
- I am not saying to always let guys go 9 innings every 4 days. I am only saying there should be days where you let a guy go - By Rich August 1, 2025 at 08:12:59 PM
  - also don't confuse "effective starter" in the 4th inning with meaning they will be "effective starter" in the 7th or 8th inning - By d August 2, 2025 at 06:41:06 AM
  - you continually argue to keep Skubal in despite the fact he has thrown the 3rd most innings in MLB since the start of the 2024 season and has had 2 major arm injuries in his career - By d August 2, 2025 at 06:35:35 AM
