    Yeah, I don't think the farm is nearly as bad as people are saying. We're lacking the potential star power, but being able to fill in a bunch of slots from the farm with major league regulars and buying stars could definitely work. A lot of highly touted guys struggle at the major league level anyway. I kind of like the Cards approach from a number of years ago. They drafted "safe" high floor guys and they hit on a decent percentage of them. They didn't have loud tools, but I think many of them became solid MLB regulars.

    I'm not sure there is a plan. I think the front office pounced on the opportunity to get a well above average player at a reasonable cost. His versatility means they can plop him wherever they need to. I actually suspect he may end up playing 3rd (as things currently stand).
  3. Abomination
    It would be a massive boost from the pitching staff, especially the pen.
  4. Abomination
    He's made some nice trades, but in the last 3 offseasons I believe the only somewhat impact signing we've had is Bassitt. Last year the team had a lot of very clear needs and none were addressed. None have been this year. We either need to go for it or rebuild, not dangle a hook with no bait and hope to snag something.
  5. Abomination
    I don't mind him trolling for deals, but at some point you want to stop catching bait fish and actually catch something big.
  6. Abomination
    It will always be Twitter, just like we will always play at the Skydome

    How sure are people that Roki would be the target? The top is stacked this year. I think I would probably keep Langford, but that's a very interesting proposal.
  8. Abomination
    Wherever it's from, it breaks up the forums and a lot of people may not scroll down to the bottom. It might be less confusing if that was changed (unless it's an option in our individual site settings I haven't seen yet).
  9. Abomination
    They can backload the contracts. As long as Rogers cares more about the actual cost and less about the luxury tax number it probably won't matter for a single year.

    I feel like the main issue is the "From the community" post which kind of breaks up the forum list. Maybe if that was made into its own forum and moved below all the other ones it would help with the flow.
  11. Abomination
    Maybe it's the TYPE of pitchers we're drafting that is the issue.
  12. Abomination
    He's not a lefty, but I wouldn't mind seeing us take a cheap flyer on Nick Anderson. He won't cost much and has some definite upside.
  13. Abomination
    It would probably be more along the lines of Luke Raley, Troy Taylor, and Harry Ford (with Haniger also included for salary reasons).
  14. Abomination
    I wonder if Seattle would be a potential fit (possibly for Bo and Vladdy)? We could take back some salary in Haniger and Crawford if necessary. They have a few tasty prospects.
  15. Abomination
    Vientos is almost certainly going to take over 3rd for the Mets. I doubt they'd include him.
  16. Abomination
    The one thing we can't do again is what happened last off-season. If we extend Vladdy, we have some options in how to proceed. If we can't resign him, we need to either trade him or land a few big bats and go for it this year. We can't not extend him AND go into the season with the current roster construction.
  17. Abomination
    It might be nice to have the option for 2FA. Thank you for the dark mode!
  18. Abomination
    Santander at 5/100 seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd prefer 4 years, but at this point securing a big bat is more important imo than playing games and having someone else come in. It might also encourage someone like JDM to sign as DH.
  19. Abomination
    As frustrating as it's been, we're 18th in offseason FA spending this year. That means there's 12 teams that have spent less than we have. But yes, the front office definitely needs to have a fire lit under their asses. It feels like they're going down a list one at a time and losing out on lots of good options in the process.
  20. Abomination
    These injuries are absolutely killing me. Why can't it be the scrubs that go down?
  21. Abomination
    He'll probably add 20 home runs and 70 rbi out of the DH slot. Seems like a decent add for the price, especially if a team is looking for some power.
  22. Abomination
    Does this mean Spanky is no longer going to be encoded into the forum software?
  23. Abomination
    Kim is a better bat, better base runner, a better defender, and has a better track record. I love Clement, but they are not equal. Clement is absolutely ideal coming off the bench and spelling guys a few times a week. He'll rack up some serious value in that role.
  24. Abomination
    He's always been a weird guy. His results seem to outperform the metrics by a pretty good margin. He wasn't healthy in 2023 and suffered from pitching in Coors last year. If you stick him in front of a good defense, I wouldn't be at all shocked to see him put up an ERA in the low 3's (with an xFIP in the mid 4's).
  25. Abomination
    I think I could get on board with Santander, Kim, and Quantrill. It's not ideal, but there's actually some pretty good impact there. I feel like Quantrill's issue is actually pitch selection rather than stuff, and that's something Pete might be able to sort out.
