I've explained you need 40 WAR total to win 87-90 games..don't care how you split it up between position players and pitching current position player WAR:
LAD 32.5
STL 28.5
NYY 27.8
NYM 23.5
HOU 23
ATL 22.5
TOR 22.3
MIN 18.6
DET 0.7
notice a trend..

For all the ignorant whining about Austin Meadows..he has a 102 wRC+..ONE player on the Tigers has a wRC+ over 100..Harold Castro 105..
The Detroit Tigers missed Austin Meadows..a LOT..

MLB average walk rate 8.2%
Tigers
6.5% tied for last
Scoop 3.4%
W Castro 4%
H Castro 4.1%
Baez 4.6%
Reyes 4.6%
5 players who start everyday..zero shot at productive offense..sadly not new..its a staple of the Avila era.

I understood the Michael Pineda signing..didn't hate it, didn't love it..hoped for 90-100 innings..
he's thrown
42 IP (MLB) 10 GS
20 IP (TOL) 5 GS
He's starting for TOL today..
Avila paid him 5.5M
the morale..PAY a great GM..

Javy Baez..is on a pace to walk 26X or 4.5%..which perfectly aligned with his career norms..I thought after the excellent post ASB finish with the NYM he could walk 13 more times or draw a walk every 2 weeks..the meager increase raises his BB% to 7.5%..thats never gonna happen.
The numbers are alarming and mind-boggling. According to FanGraphs, of the 1,630 pitches Baez has seen this season (before Saturday), only 34% have been inside the strike zone. Meaning, 66% of the pitches thrown to him are balls.
And yet, his walk rate is among the lowest in baseball (4.4%) and his chase rate is among the highest (46%).
