Also, the basis for his “Rizzo is a bargain!” argument is the supposed difference between Rizzo’s salary and the monetary value of all the wins his personnel decisions have generated. As if his own salary is the number that the team’s won-loss record should be measured against. But, uh ... those players ... they get…

He also compares Rizzo’s annual salary to what he thinks he’s been “worth” for the last 7-9 years cumulatively, which you would think would mean comparing that to what he has been paid, cumulatively, since either 2007 or 2009, at the least. Math is not this writer’s strong suit.

But isn’t 40 wins an incredible stretch, too?

“Since becoming GM in 2009, Rizzo has made trades that have, by my estimate, brought about 25 extra wins to the Nats above what might be expected of an average GM who cancels a good trade with a bad one. Also, since 2007, Rizzo has been the man most responsible for the Nats’ draft record. Since then, they have added…

Um, Nats fan here. This is they guy who thought Matt Williams, was the answer over Joe Maddon. This resulted in, over the past two season, the Nats being the tightest team in baseball. Ending with getting bounced from the playoffs and our closer choking the League MVP, in the dugout during a game. Said closer is still…

Boswell’s VORGM stat isn’t going to catch on with anybody but Rizzo’s agent.
