Even the RP market is thin, and the Braves have already pulled two of the best arms from it this week. Actual back end arms are like Hicks and Stephenson. Is Robertson still good?
-
All of this is true. And then MLB deliberately made the problem worse by expanding rosters to 26. There's no reason why pitching staff need to be 13 deep. I don't think they should be limited to 15 total pitchers over the course the season, but more disincentives for using options would be nice. Make someone unavailable for months if they're optioned to AAA to help stop the revolving door of 96 mph fastball/slider 1-inning relievers.
-
Yeah. Might take awhile for voters to adjust. Could be a period where very few modern day pitchers are inducted before standards start to shift. We're used to 55-60 WAR being a barometer for HoF eligibility, bu that's probably going to move to like 40-45 for pitchers going foward. I think a Zack Wheeler career might actually be a typical HoF career over the next 20-30 years, but nobody is even talking about him in those terms right now.
-
Yeah. After Cole, you've got Darvish and Sale who stand an outside chance if they can somehow get healthy and have 3-4 more 4+ win seasons. Then Wheeler, Nola, and Gausman in a group in their earlier 30s who still probably need to put like 25 WAR on the board to get into the conversation. I don't think it happens for any of those 5. Strider is really the only young guy who seems to be on the trajectory if he keeps it up. But that's a long, long road to travel.

Saw a discussion the other day about the lack of elite pitchers these days, and how there aren't really any under 30 years old that seem to be on a HoF track. We've got the big 4 who will get in: Greinke, Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer. Then probably Cole. But there's really nobody younger that seems to be on track. Hader might be the best bet? Compare that to hitters under 30 where we have Seager, Soto, Acuna, Ohtani, J-Rod, Carroll all seemingly on track, along with probably a dozen older guys.

No. They've pretty much been universally praised.

The last line was what got you. You're usually much better at toeing the line.

Dorion fired
-
Ottawa is being fined a 1st round pick because they tried to screw Dadonov out of the NTC they negotiated with him on precedural technicality, then told Vegas he had no NTC. Pierre Dorion might be the worst GM in the history of professional hockey.
-
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if I want advice on the finer points of fantasy baseball roster construction, you're probably not at the top of my list.
-
I don't like walks
-
Yeah. Texas has a roster befitting a world series champion. Garcia and Heim turning into legit all-stars and then Jung, Carter, and Taveras breaking in and playing like above-average regulars gives them maybe the deepest lineup in baseball. Didn't see it coming in the offseason but can't deny how good they are now. And doing it without DeGrom is pretty crazy.
-
I still have two arms to clear out, from the following, with asking prices: Ryan Pressly - 1st Seth Lugo - 2nd James Paxton - 2nd Lance Lynn - 3rd Could also entertain moving Joe Boyle, but it would probably take 1st or clear top-100 prospect.
-
Dodgers fan's won't like this at all. They've been telling themselves for two years that the clubhouse hated him and he had to go. And their team basically nuked their 2023 season to appease the fans. Imagine losing with Lance Lynn on the mound while paying Bauer 30M or whatever to pitch in Japan.
-
It was always weird that for that one trade Boston felt the need to act like a small market team
-
Toronto kind of seems to be in a window right now instead of primed for perpetual contention. Might as well just get a top-3 hitter in the game and try to make as much noise as possible in 2024. Recoup some value via a comp pick in the offseason.
-
Tiedemann for Soto. Get it done Shatkins.

Does the World Series have a credibility problem?

It remains absurd that people who pay hundreds of dollars for MLB.tv can't watch playoff games. -
Just watched. That has to be at least manslaughter, right?
-
Could listen on Matt Olson if the deal includes a stud bat at 2B, 3B, or CF
-
Does Cabbie still come on exclusively to do intermission gambling segments? I hope this s*** goes the way of cigarette ads.

The Dog probably already has multiple skin suits

Blue Jays acquire Daulton Varsho for Moreno and Gurriel
BTS replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I think we'll see Atkins replaced if the team doesn't get out of the wild card round in 2024. Shapiro probably stays as long as he wants.
