Groundball isn't really the second thing you'd want to see in that situation. Or even the third.

I think if you're going to be locking up pre-arb players, you're really hoping to get something better at the back end.

Good point about offering Morales the qualifying offer.

Also Ackley and Hultzen for aabout $1.5 each next year.

To be true, the positional adjustments are based as much on offense as they are on defense.

I suppose for the half of the Mariner games that aren't played in Safeco, you just used league average temp and elevation?

I kind of like the idea of keeping the seperate rules for the two leagues.

But the fact that they've been utterly, irredeemably terrible drags the whole team's wRC down, which would correlate with fewer expected runs scored.

More like to compare the two, we'd have to extapolate his runs out to a full season, and also do the same for Chris Davis.

Then again, about the only time you're going to get value from him is when a team desperately needs a shortstop

Talk by reporters that have team sources, or talk by fans, or just reporter speculation that he's a player the Jays could use?

This has been pointed out by one of our overlords, Michael Barr, that Ryan has shown an increasing tendency to hit flyballs (and especially popups), which doesn't seem to mesh well with his limited power.
