  1. Wright is tough. Didn't even hit 300 HR, 1000 R or 1000 RBI. 2 gold gloves. Never led the league in any major categories. No major awards outside of the gold gloves. Arenado is going to end up with a more impressive resume, even if only because Wright's career was derailed by injury.
  2. Man I thought Longo was going to be an easy HoFer. 45.7 fWAR through age-30, then just 9 in the 7 years since. Another 3B in a similar boat is Jose Ramirez. 46.7 fWAR through age-30. He's like two-more 5-win seasons from getting to slam-dunk territory, and can also get in if he has a run of good but not great seasons into his mid-late 30s. Probably helps if he plays his whole career in Cleveland.
  3. I think the 10 straight gold gloves gets him into the HoF unless he completely falls off a cliff next year. Probably finishes with 400+ HR, 55 fWAR and a run of 10-straight gold gloves.
  4. You can put SPs in P slots
  5. This is probably the worst site on the internet to buy women’s underwear ads for.
  6. The worst are the new full-page pop up ads on mobile. Just a full page of women in bras with a tiny hidden close button. Thanks BJMB!
  7. I’m also getting them. Thought it was targeting me specifically for bra ads.
  8. I have a feeling Max is getting nuked tonight. Walks/homers everywhere.
  9. For some reason MLBTR wrote kind of a ridiculous Kim Ng puff piece https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/10/kim-ng-preferred-justin-turner-to-jean-segura-last-offseason.html
  10. Dammit wrong thread. Oh well. Maybe Atkins will acquire him.
  11. Arenado’s gold glove streak is over
  12. Goddamn
  13. Getting old sucks for all of us
  14. Aubrey Huff deleted his tweets about Nakken
  15. Surprised nobody has inquired on Schanuel. Open to pretty much anything - I just don't want to roster 3 1B only players net year.
  16. * most years most teams Achilles heel from the season shows up in the playoffs.
  17. connorp might have the world's strongest recency bias. Literally just "what have you done for me in the last week"
  18. Castellanos is Hunter Renfroe with worse defense, and Renfroe has been moved for nothing like 4 times in the last two years. Nobody is giving FA Castellanos 50M this offseason unless Kim Ng finds a job.
  19. The Phillies were able to bring in two borderline HoF players from outside the org on deals that have worked out better than even they could have hoped, in Wheeler and Realmuto. Two of the best acquisitions of the last decade, for any team. Jury still out on a bunch of the others, though Harper has earned his pay so far. Wheeler actually leads the majors in fWAR since his signing, and the contract expires after 2024, so not much can go wrong. Legit one of the best FA pitcher signings ever.
  20. Yeah. St. Louis too, basically for the last 20 years. If a good player comes through the system, they keep them. They'll also pay up for older impact talent, then just keep them until they retire.
  21. That's not even necessarily a criticism of AA. MLB isn't the stock market, and outside of the Rays, most well-run teams aren't relying on buying distressed assets and then trying to trade them at peak value. Teams with budgets pay for good players, and then just keep them or let them walk via FA.
  22. You seem to have a hard time following the flow of conversations, but I was responding to a post defining AA’s MO here as buying low and selling high. That wasn’t his MO at all. He didn’t sell, and was very comfortable paying sticker price for good vets.
  23. AA had a habit of trading for ageing injury-prone vets on FA contracts. He doesn't do it anymore, but it's what let to Toronto having a short contention window.
  24. His agent moved to Japan with him?
  25. The poll to convert 2 SP slots to P passed so I made the change
