-vs-
The Rockies (10-12) head up to Mesa to take on the Chicago Cubs (15-12) at 2:10 MT today. Chris Iannetta is back with the team and is expected to start behind the plate, and Greg Smith will see his first Cactus League action in three weeks, as he returns from the flu and a couple of minor league appearances.
CDI and the rest of the Rockies offense will look to continue their recent success, this time against the likes of Gaudin, Jeff Samardzija, and Kevin Gregg, among others. Expected to throw for the Rox (in addition to Smith) are Manny Corpas, Ryan Speier, Alan Embree, and Glendon Rusch.
Lineups:
Rockies
CF Ryan Spilborghs
SS Omar Quintanilla
LF Seth Smith
RF Matt Murton
C Chris Iannetta
1B Daniel Ortmeier
2B Clint Barmes

Yup,
along with Quintanilla, Ortmeier, Colonel, etc., I guess it means he’s gonna start this year, right?

Also Greg Smith and I were born on the same day
I’d wager he’s more successful at the juncture :-/
Although I am engaged. I wonder what he’s got going for himself there?

Aw. NPV doesn't support my allegations.
Assuming Smith makes 400k his first 3 years, (2008, 2009, 2010) and then 600k, 800k, 1M during his arbi years, and then signs a 3 year, 6M extension, and then washes out and never works again, and assuming that I get a job in 2010 and start at 50k with a 5.2% raise annually, and assuming a .5% discount rate (from the Fed), in Today dollars, Greg Smith is worth $9,292,421, and I’m worth $4,247,813.

by Andrew Martin on Mar 24, 2009 2:03 PM MDT up reply actions
Discount rate should be risk-adjusted
A 0.5% discount rate implies risk-free cash stream – I would venture to say there is nothing in the world less volatile than a mediocre pitcher’s career path.
ooh good point
What would you advise then for just a simple rate?
Aw who am I kidding there’s no way that frontloaded revenue stream ever gets matched by my salary.

That's

We are truly in the presense of greatness here…-- unnamedDBacksfan
I would use 10% for the pitcher, maybe more
And 3 or 4% for yours
Although I’m pulling those numbers out of nowhere. Unless there is a market for salary futures it’s plain guesswork.
I wonder what lawyers use as the discount rate of future earnings when someone is killed and the responsible party is sued for damages. That would be the best comp.
My Dad, an Economics professor, does consulting for this on the side. It really depends on a huge range of factors not limited to age, education, geography, gender. It’s fairly interesting topic, that someone could put a dollar value on your life based on earnings potential.

When they think
it’s a game people care about, they go all out.

But it's the Cubs.
I would think they would think someone always cares about a Cubs game. Maybe I am wrong and most Cubs fans only care about being able to drink at the actual game.
Good point.
Well, is it being broadcast on WGN? I know I went to a ChiSox ST game last year that was televised.

What if
you get pulled over for DUI, refuse to take a test, and the cop takes you to the hospital and gets a court order?

Probably a good call.
But, still! Then you’d hafta give blood.

In Colorado
you get the choice of submitting to either a breath test or a blood test. An outright refusal will result in a one year suspension of your drivers license. It’s called express consent. By driving anywhere in Colorado, you have already consented to taking a chemical test, thus the penalty for a refusal. Court orders don’t come into play.

In Arizona,
it’s called Implied Consent. But if you refuse to be subjected to a test, the police generally take you to a hospital, get a judge-approved “warrant” to search your blood, and take a blood test anyway. So, if you refuse, basically, you lose your license for a year and then usually get charged with DUI anyway.

The Cubs scored some runs,
then the Rockies scored some runs, then the Cubs scored some more.

That reminded me of this
In the onion after the 07 WS. It was harsh, but funny:
DENVER—Days after the Boston Red Sox completed their four-game sweep to win the 2007 World Series, Colorado Rockies players dressed in full uniform were still standing on the field experiencing various degrees of shock. “We…we…we were winning lots of games? And then? Then we were losing all these games? Because the Red Sox came and hit and hit and hit and they didn’t, they didn’t stop…” said Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, pointing at the left field wall with a shaking and dirty finger before turning, pointing at the right field wall, and repeating the words he has been speaking nonstop since Sunday night. “They hit here, and here, and through the gap there, and they… Oh, God, what happened? What the fuck just happened to us?” Rockies team officials released an erratically worded, hand-scrawled statement today saying they would address any psychological issues just as soon as the World Series is over.
