    I can't find a way to free up the space
  2. Abomination
    That would be awesome. He's such a perfect fit.
  3. Abomination
    Seoul?
  4. Abomination
    Yeah, forgot about the Angels. I don't think either Texas team is too likely, as they're fairly clogged up right now in terms of bats.

    It's hard to know exactly what his priorities are. He may favor a team like Oakland that could give him significantly more rope on the hitting end of things, which would give him a chance to really earn big later (plus it would help his pitching numbers heading to FA). As a guess, I would think SF, LA, SEA, and NY are probably ahead of us. We're likely in the next tier of 5 or so teams.

    Do you have proof we're behind? The bottom line is, I don't think anyone in the public has any clue where any teams stand. We could be the preferred destination for Ohtani, or we could be dead last. If I had to guess, I'd think we'd probably be in the upper third somewhere. We have the payroll to support a winner (and a nice future salary for him). We have a culture pretty supportive of people from other countries, and a decently sized Japanese community. We have a forward thinking front office investing in things like the high performance department, and soon new spring training facilities. We have the capability of letting him DH. On the negative side, he probably grew up watching west coast teams and likely dreamed of playing for one of them. The time difference would also be better for him on the west coast, which could help with sponsorship deals in Japan. Our stadium would also almost certainly be a negative.

    That's fine and all, but who says all things are equal?

    The league should really put a portion of the MLBTV revenue into a fund for creating new ballparks.

    Yeah, Cargo will probably still be fairly expensive though, even if he shouldn't be. I suspect we'd get similar production from dirt cheap options like Saunders or Either.
  11. Abomination
    I think Cargo is the kind of player we need to avoid right now.

    I think it's more that teams aren't using up all the shot clock every possession, which also prevents the defense from setting up as easily. Teams are looking to make things happen early.

    I could use a high end outfielder, but other than that I'm pretty happy with how my team is looking in this league.

    Lol, Phoenix put up 65 points at the half against Houston ... and are down 25.

    He's able to hold position near the rim, and is almost impossible to post up against. None of the other bigs can really do that. Poertl is great at rebounding because of his positioning, and Babe at blocking, but neither really have the physical presence. JV is NOT good against a really mobile big though. Regarding Ibaka, I have to think we wouldn't have signed him if we had known how good the young players were going to be. He also gives us that inside, more traditional scoring threat. I think he's under-utilized in that role.

    Yeah, there's no way in hell they want to stay under in the future, just reset it. They're eyeing that ridiculous FA class next year.

    I actually kind of like having JV. He brings another dimension none of the other bigs do. It's kind of a shame we don't utilize him more.

    That was one hell of a selection.

    I pity the team that gives him THAT
  20. Abomination
    Hasn't Jones complained about being called things in every park he's played in (including his own)?
  21. Abomination
    Bichette will obviously depend on how his swing handles the higher levels. If he gets exploited a bit, I think Dozier could be a decent ceiling comp (maybe with closer to 30 home runs though). If he doesn't get exploited, I think Cano could be a good ceiling. I really don't see him stealing a lot of bases in the majors. I think a good ceiling for Alford might be McCutchen. Vlad is maybe a little harder. Pujols or Miggy may not actually be unreasonable ceilings, although I think it's tough to suggest that for any player. Maybe Manny Ramirez, if Vlad was to play in the OF for a bit.
  22. Abomination
    Interesting, I wonder why?
  23. Abomination
    So would I, but I think Panik is more realistic. Same level of control, same approximate value. Panik is a little safer and better fit for us offensively, and Pillar would help them more in that big field. Move Travis to LF and try to keep him healthier if he isn't always having to land on his knee, etc.
  24. Abomination
    Pillar for Panik would be interesting.
  25. Abomination
    In one you warm the arm slower, one you have to make a throw at 100% while cold. For a pitcher who throws a lot, it takes some time to loosen up the arm. It's less of a problem for a normal outfielder.
