Well, Cobb actually passed the physical. The O's once again defer money to him in the deal. It seems like they've made a lot of those kinds of deals. I wonder how much money they're gonna be paying out in the future to guys no longer on their team?
I think most have been over the last two offseasons (some of which I bought while injured), so this year will likely be the start of seeing one way or the other.
He's someone I've wanted to get in general for some time. I have no doubts he'll go down for the season within hours of the trade being completed though.
How about giving Vladdy Jr. 70 grade speed?
Oh, didn't see this season only. Giving Estrada a 70 grade fastball would be interesting, but I'd probably have to go with giving Pillar a 70 hit tool.
There was a study some time ago that fan predictions provided better estimates of games played, etc. My guess is it probably weighs those much more heavily, and everything else is pretty much ignored.
Refs were horrible all game, but seemed to make a ton of bad calls both ways. Also, you simply cannot take technicals at the end there if you're Demar.
