    I agree with eliminating the constant stepping out in the batters box (which I believe is actually supposed to be eliminated already, but not enforced). Anyone who has ever pitched at any level will tell you the importance of the warmup pitches though. You have to have them, particularly after sitting on the bench between innings. Trying to stay loose the entire time in the dugout would fatigue the arm too much, particularly when some innings are extended.

    Nice! We won't talk about mine.

    No, the warmup pitches are important. If you had the starting pitchers go to the pen to do it between innings, it would still take them as long to get back to the mound as it does now from the dugout with the warmup pitches. For relievers coming in, the BP mound and game mound often feel very different. There's lots of things to cut down on, but that isn't one of them.

    I think if they tried to do that they'd get an umpire lockout. There's no reason they can't have something in real time that buzzes them for strikes or something. The umpire can still ignore it if the computer throws a fit or something. It might even speed one or two umpires up a little

    Don't forget roboumps. Last season was brutal.
  6. Abomination
    No he wouldn't. Only the guaranteed portion is fixed. Vladdy's performance would add a ton of bonuses that would push him up far beyond what he's currently making. In fact, both players would make more than they currently are since Jansen is very good defensively.
  7. Abomination
    The PA needs to start having issues with itself. Some of their stances are purely ideological and self-serving rather than what's best for the players.
  8. Abomination
    Grichuk's K rate is actually pretty good. The biggest difference between them is that Chapman is elite defensively. Being another righty isn't ideal. It really depends on the cost.
  9. Abomination
    It's an interesting argument to pay by WAR, but I don't think it's a very healthy one for the game. I think better would be to have fixed salaries for young players (maybe 1M?), with additional (potential) position dependent bonuses paid separately for both offense and defense compared to the league average at the position, perhaps prorated to the number of games played at the position and adding an additional kicker for playing multiple positions. That would encourage young players to focus on both sides of the game, reward them for performance while also providing some cost-certainty for the team (or at the very least the team knows they'll be paying for performance). For years 25 through 27 the fixed portion can increase each year, and at 28 there's automatic free agency.

    I feel like Kershaw is more risky as he'll probably be asking for a much bigger, longer deal. I think there's a good chance that Verlander will take a 1 year deal with a team that has a decent chance at the postseason.

    This game sucks!
  12. Abomination
    Could probably let someone have a second team too if desired, with the caveat that they can't trade with their other team or claim guys their other team was the last to drop.

    Thinking about Wolff Gooch Wise Ramey Pendrith Watney
  14. Abomination
    Absolutely. He went with the last pick in the draft, right?
  15. Abomination
    Here's a question. What happens if there's no draft next year? (It's probably unlikely, but I really do think there's going to be at least a lockout). Do the picks get pushed a year, or what?
  16. Abomination
    Hell yeah to Escobar and/or Seager at those prices. Big pass on the closers. I wouldn't be upset with Ray at that price, but there's other options I'd be happy with too. Schwarber I'm not sure on. The price isn't insane, and could allow trading Teoscar or likely Gurriel to fill a big hole elsewhere. Probably a no, but I could see the logic.
  17. Abomination
    Probably neither. I'd assume they're perfectly happy rolling with Bart and Casali.
  18. Abomination
    Okay, now I'm unhappy with Pendrith too!

    I think whatever Nick Nurse is being paid, it isn't enough. I am a little concerned about FVV running the offense so far. It hasn't been as smooth as I'd like to see, especially when they're not on the run. That might improve a bit when we get Pascal back though.
  20. Abomination
    I chose him just for you!
  21. Abomination
    Currently looking at fielding a roster of Aaron Wise Zalatoris Gooch Hoffman Pan Pendrith
  22. Abomination
    I love Taylor, but he doesn't seem to have the arm for 3rd. He'd look really nice at 2nd.

    Lesson of the day: don't buy a Rav 4.
  24. Abomination
    He had a 3.85 xFIP this year and 3.78 last year, more than a strikeout an inning and averages 95 mph. He'll probably get more, not less. He really just needs to cut down on the long ball a little. Actually, I'd be quite happy with us giving him 4/60.
  25. Abomination
    He also had the highest barrel % of his career and the highest exit velocity, just a suppressed BABIP. Almost everything else was in line with his career numbers except the odd uptick in strikeouts. Basically, it appears he was unlucky. It's not really any different than his 2018 season.
