    We pretty much had everything go wrong this year that could. I wouldn't expect us to compete next year, but I wouldn't be absolutely shocked if we were in the race next September either.

    The Oswing and contract rates are basically tied to the walk rate, so I wouldn't consider them additional issues. It is absolutely important, and something he desperately needs to improve. I'm pretty sure his defense at 2nd is already approximately league average. He does make a few extra errors, but they appear to be experience related more than physical ability so I could quite easily see him settle in a little above average there. If he fills an everyday super utility type role, then it'll probably be average at multiple positions.

    I have a feeling he's gonna have a good start tonight. Still pretty hard to start him this early in a week in the playoffs.

    That home run cost me a triple up in DFS
  5. Abomination
    The only real hole imo is walk rate. Most of the defensive issues seem to be at SS rather than 2B, and I think we'd all agree that he probably won't be getting a lot of time there moving forward. This is basically the equivalent of a player in their 2nd year out of college, and he's been league average.
  6. Abomination
    It would be great, but I think he'll get more than that given the lack of other high end options on the market. I'd guess 5/100 min, probably higher.

    Who would you see as a SP that would fit a 4 or 5 year plan like that? Keuchel maybe, Kershaw if he opts out, Corbin (definitely be buying high), but I don't think anyone else fits that bill. There's lots of 1-3 year stopgaps, but that doesn't go through to our competitive window. In 2020 there's Cole, Gray (depending on your feelings about him), Smyly, Wheeler, Bumgarner, Sale, and possibly others. That's the time to make a spash imo.

    A starting pitcher on a short-term contract, and a bunch of relievers. I wouldn't expect any big names.
  9. Abomination
    He was a college player who a few years ago made an adjustment that appears to have changed his outlook. He may be older but he's only had 4 years as a pro, so the age imo is less important.

    Law has a very specific type of player that he likes, and everyone else is s***. I'm pretty sure Vladdy doesn't fit that player type (in fact he may have him outside the top 50). Since people are more divided over Bichette and Biggio's future, I can see Law legitimately thinking that. He's an idiot, but I'm not sure it's just to be controversial.
  11. Abomination
    No question it's an uphill battle, but out of 24 games left they have 8 against us, 3 against the O's, and they do play Oakland 3 games (who they have to catch). They also have 2 games in hand I think. It's really a pretty soft schedule.
  12. Abomination
    They might be in the AL one. Their bullpen + Snell and Glasnow strategy is perfectly built for September with the expanded rosters.
  13. Abomination
    Deals with Spanky seem to get worse for the opponent as he gets drunk, not the other way around (fortunately for him).
  14. Abomination
    As amazing as it seems, the Rays might only be 7 games back of the 2nd wildcard after tonight.
  15. Abomination
    They really need to limit teams to pick 25 players per game in September. A billion unnecessary pitching changes grinds these games to a halt.
  16. Abomination
    If there was only an online platform where you could buy stuff like that off someone who did ...
  17. Abomination
    I could see giving him something like 1/15 with a pair of vesting options based on games started or something. With his injury history, 3 years guaranteed seems a little reckless.
  18. Abomination
    It's easy to think that ... right until you run into a week where the team only plays once, or the goalie gets injured.
  19. Abomination
    You think it's bad now, you should have seen it when we had 20 people in the league.
  20. Abomination
    Probably. Atkins said that they're using a different strategy this September, in rewarding guys for various things with just being around the team for the month, but likely not playing much.
  21. Abomination
    Maybe, but he could have mentioned it once in passing and deflected the rest as normal. He really went out of his way to make the point, several times. I'm not saying it's going to happen (probably a very low chance), but between Donaldson's comments on loving Toronto and wanting to be part of the future, and Atkins stressing the possibility, it paints a very different picture than a few days ago.
  22. Abomination
    It's interesting that in Atkins interview yesterday with Tim and Sid (I just listened to it now), he repeatedly stressed that the door was not closed on Donaldson returning.
  23. Abomination
    I'd say Zobrist's defense in the 2nd half of his career (slightly above average at multiple positions, but not elite), and without his walk rate. I think he profiles very similarly in everything else.
  24. Abomination
    I think he fits really well as a Ben Zobrist type. Play him almost everyday, but use it to give the other regulars a day off.
  25. Abomination
    Please stop comparing Teoscar to George Bell ffs.
