Around Baseball 2018

This guy could seriously be something, in that park. Or not...

Boone Logan signs with the Brew-Crew!

Boone Logan signs with the Brew-Crew!

 

Solid signing

[Spanky__99]

Solid signing

 

Yeah, fairly cheap, if he hits his incentives everyone wins.

[jays4life19]

Putting in a waiver claim on him in the LOD.

 

Already tried my friend. He's not in the data base but i have sent a request for him to be added.

 

He's all mine.

MLB Network says Dodgers offered to trade Puig to Red Sox for Jackie Bradley Jr

[jays4life19]

I would guess the Sox would say no to that.

[BTS]

I would guess the Sox would say no to that.

 

Especially with the extra year of control for JBJ. Apparently they declined immediately.

[G-Snarls]

I would guess the Sox would say no to that.

 

They did

[Laika]

Talent level: equal

Age: equal

Position: edge JBJ

Control: JBJ +1 years

Baggage: Puig has way more

 

hmmmm a straight up offer is kind of insulting

 

you'd have to be a specific kind of stupid to prefer Puig - even if you are very slow and you look at HR and RBI in the last two years, JBJ is way ahead (43 and 150 vs. 39 and 119).

[jays4life19]

Well I would be all over that trade in Fantasy baseball at least.

[Orgfiller]

Wtf was up with Puig's baserunning last year? Jesus, he must have been thrown out on every attempt to advance an extra base.

[Pendleton]

Well I would be all over that trade in Fantasy baseball at least.

 

Yeah same, but IRL it's a bad idea for Boston. Selling low on JBJ to buy high on Puig, giving up control and CF defense.

It's time for all of us to share a laugh. The projected Royals wRC+ leaders, according to ZiPS:

 

1. Hosmer (112)

2. Moustakas (107)

3. Cain (97)

4. Cabrera (96)

[Krylian]

f*** the Royals!

I'm still so bitter about 2015.

With one of the worst farms in baseball! It's hilarious they didn't sell at the deadline. Will not be a fun rebuild.

[G-Snarls]

135 of the 166 free agents have NOT signed yet

There are definitely more than 166 free agents. I haven't signed yet...

Laughing at the Royals is completely counterproductive unless you're a fan of a team that plays them 19 times a year. Having a 100+ loss team for the next seven years in another division is not the least bit helpful to the Jays' playoff hopes. Add in Detroit and you guys are all going to have fun screaming about 87-win Twins teams with a $60 million dollar budget and a negative run differential that get a wild card spot every year.

[Abomination]

Maikel Franco was suspended from his winter league team after being caught out partying at 6am right before his team's playoff game...

[G-Snarls]

Long-time Twins star*Justin Morneau*is slated to join the team as a special assistant, according to Bob Elliott of the Canadian Baseball Network (via Twitter). It would appear that the decision spells the end of his playing days

Buck Showalter later says Britton will miss first half of the season

 

As expected I guess

Yeah that really screws the O's - they'll have to pay him in arbitration, he won't help the team (assuming they're out of the playoff picture by the time he's back), and they may struggle to trade him at the deadline if he isn't back to full fitness.

The bigger problem is that's just a very boring thesis.

Meh. We all have that T-shirt from years gone by. We're used to it.

I would shart if we got that deal. I am prepared to offer Bichette in the deal, so those three certainly work for me.

 

But remember, I am not a professional.
