Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't finds an obvious spot for it:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/did-your-team-blow-it-at-the-trade-deadline/
It is largely a discussion on how teams should think about trading wins in the current season for wins in future seasons. What was particularly interesting, given the Jets issues with many of Chevy's non-moves at the deadlines, is that, for some teams doing nothing is exactly the worst strategy. The article makes the claim that the Jays were in precisely the position that they needed to be either buyers or sellers: standing pat was the worst possible move.
In light of past non-moves by Chevy (the Kane and Stafford trades notwithstanding) around the first few trade deadlines, the Frolik debacle (my opinion) and the growing angst around the Ladd/Buff situations, does Chevy need to be sent a link to this?
I'd be curious what some our resident analysts think and is it applicable to the Jets?
