Were prospect lists expanded to 15?

[Fearthedoc]

I just went to PM realmin, and saw his last time on the proboards was June 13th. I look forward to my reply around Christmas.

Just to hold names while in the off season while there is no prospect limit. I imagine it'll go back down to 10 at the cut down date.

It'll be your Christmas gift!

Looking to flip Aramis Ramirez for a good closer or picks package.

 

Casey Janssen and/or Rafael Soriano are available.

 

Also, I'll look/counter at your bball offer later this evening. Swamped the past two days.

I don't think either of Casey/Rafael will close next season. (I'm also the guy who dropped Casey for that reason)

 

Okay thanks, look forward to some feedback on that offer.

Stanton will be quite the present!

No, It'll just be a reply. By the time you actually get a deal worked out for Stanton he'll be in his late 30s.

Most closers are older than 25 and so shouldn't be targeted under any circumstance?

Not the case at all.

Unlimited prospect/picks between season end and cut day.

Why is it funny then? I though Romo was a good buy for Boxy.

Marcus Stroman is tied for 9th in 2015 Steamer fWAR:

And yes, it's that time of year again where projections are teh gospel.

[Dr. Dinger]

I quite agree with BTS. Competitive teams can't make space for non-elite relievers before the cut off, and will deal them for mid-round picks. Those same relievers will be worth high 2nd rounders once the season starts. It's easy profit if you have roster space to spare.

I got Robertson for a late 3rd last offseason. I could have made a 40-pick profit a few weeks later. I imagine that this is Boxy's strategy.

Did they not project injured players? Or did Darvish's arm completely fall off?

[Dr. Dinger]

It's completely idiotic to project Stroman and Carrasco ahead of the likes of Bumgarner, Greinke, and Hamels.

[Laika]

I'm not so sure. Relievers are just so f***ing fragile...

 

In theory you can pay a 3rd/4th rounder for a closer right now, and then if their talent holds, flip them for a 2nd after the season gets under way, but in reality you run the risk of having that guy turn into a 2014 Grant Balfour, and you might have cut a lottery ticket for that chance to win ten bucks.

I think you flip before the season starts, right after the waiver draft.

Carlos Carrasco is the truth.

Interesting......Good to see

[Laika]

No, Kluber is The Truth. Carrasco and Salazar are just cheap flash-in-the-pan imitations.

 

Man, Cleveland's rotation is filthy.

 

Kluber

Carrasco

Salazar

House

Bauer

McAllister

Tomlin

Cool, Steamer thinks Refsnyder is a league-average bat at 2B.

Cleveland's FO and coaching staff don't get enough attention for their work over the past couple years. Many of those guys are totally outperforming their prospect pedigrees.

[NorthOf49]

Jesus Montero is projected for a 115 wRC+, virtually identical slash-line as McCann. Yankees should never have traded him

 

Edit: Also, Jamie Moyer checks in with a 2.8 WAR, 163/48 K/BB in his 200 innings. Better than a lot of real #2 starters lol

[The Cats Ass]

I feel like I should be making somekind of trade. It's been over a week since the offseason has started.

I'll take Carlos Gomez off your hands?

Does that mean Puig is on the table.

[Dr. Dinger]

No it's not, look at the ERA.

 

So? It's still idiotic to project their WAR higher than consistent ace workhorses like the afformentioned (and Wainright, etc).
