Around Baseball 2019

[glory]

So in a 3 day span last year, Mozeliak traded Voit, Pham and Mercado and got back basically Giovanny Gallegos?

 

Whew, more trades with the Cards please.

 

Hell, in the two (?) trades Atkins made with them, he got Diaz for Woodman and Grichuk for Greene/Leone. Apparently could have gotten Flaherty for one year of JD too which in hindsight would have looked good.

 

I'm down with trading with the Cards again, though their system isn't as deep as it used to be.

Loewen is going pitcher this time, huh?

[Abomination]

I had no idea Richmond was (sort of) pitching again.

[Ray]

Max Scherzer is absurd

 

[z3r0s]

shouldn't the Nationals be on that list somewhere?

[Bobthe4th]

shouldn't the Nationals be on that list somewhere?

 

I assume that the 9 teams not on the list have more than Scherzer.

[z3r0s]

oh yeah, I guess that makes sense. I sort of read it as he was at the top, but that makes more sense.

[Krylian]

LOL@ the Orioles on that list.

[TheHurl]

China for 2 years, then Australia and now with the Quebec Capitales (although he hasn't pitched yet this year).

Russ Martin just carved the D-Backs. Pop up, strikeout, Pop up.

 

His 2nd 1,2,3 inning this year.

 

He was hitting 90 on the gun.

FanGraphs has added service time and MiLB options to their player profile pages.

This is fantastic.

[Bobthe4th]

There’s a big AL wildcard 4 game series starting tonight between the A’s and Angels. Was checking out the A’s and old friend Liam Hendriks has been lights out so far this year.

Thank god. The less time spent on having to go to Cot's the better. Hopefully they tighten up the contracts and add team payrolls next.

A few random thoughts (following some time sifting through Fangraphs)

 

1. Blake Snell is the new poster boy for advance analytics.

2. The Willians Astudillo hype died quick.

3. Ted Williams was incredible (I mean I always knew he was...but good lord sometimes you forget until you examine those numbers again).

 

 

Anyone else do that? Just sift through player page after player page on Fangraphs? Probably my favourite way to escape reality (without a bottle of Jergans)

I usually go to Baseball Reference as they have service time, expected first year of arb, and expected free agency year. But yeah it would be nice for everything to be in one place.

I just noticed that and came into this thread asking when Fangraphs added those numbers. Very nice addition.

I do that all the time. Just yesterday I was looking at Eddie Collins' page and thinking he has to be the most underrated player of all time. It seems to me that you hardly hear a word about him.

At any given time I'll have a fangraphs page open, and spend hours just searching random players.

Yes and it's a huge time suck

Hunter Pence as the AL All Star DH - did not see that coming at the start of the season!

Youngest NL all star outfield since 1967. (That year included Hank Aaron, Lou Brock and Willie Mays)

[Orgfiller]

I didn't see it posted, but Mike Trout has surpassed 70 career fWAR, and he'll likely surpass 70 bWAR in about two weeks. He doesn't turn 28 until August.

[Bobthe4th]

I assume it’ll be Giles who is our All Star this year. If he and Stroman are traded though, er Sogard I guess?

[Laika]

Best ever through their age 27 season, and he still has half the season to go.
