Votto is probably Canada's last reasonable shot at the HoF for a few decades. It would be great to see him rebound a bit this year and build his case. It's interesting because it's going to be almost a purely sabermetric case, outside of his MVP award and 6 all-star games. If he finishes with a strong 4 years, he'll get up to the mid-60s in fWAR but he's still not going to compile any clear HoF totals (3000 hits or 500 HR). He does have a chance to become just the 15th player ever with 1500 walks! He probably needs another monster season or to contribute meaningfully to a Reds WS. Neither of which seems very likely. -
Done. It was never in doubt.
-
It remains absurd that Schilling isn’t in. IIRC he doesn’t even have any PED baggage like Bonds Clemens. I’d be interested in knowing if the young FanGraphs type voters are leaving him off their ballots.
-
f*** yeah. Harold Baines being in and Walker off the ballot would be a bridge too far.
-
I barely even know who Simmons is.
-
Also, I'm very pleased to have soundly defeated BTS is a bad mod last week.
-
Holy crap, a PG who shoots 57% is absolute gold.
-
So is Walker getting in?
-
Yeah, I don't really understand why McGuire would have significant trade value. He's a nice player to have in a catching tandem, but it can't hit and the market doesn't pay for catcher defense. You can always go get a Yan Gomes or Tyler Flowers on the cheap if you're looking for a player like McGuire.

It was obviously going to happen, but still sad to see King Felix sign a minor league deal
-
I've added two Notes to the league in Fantrax (Other -> Notes): an owner list and a list of 2021 waiver draft picks. Going forward (after the 2020 waiver draft is finished) we're going to track waiver picks on that note and not on the google docs sheet. I've also moved the league constitution to the league rules page (Other -> League Rules Summary). I want to be more diligent about updating them if changes are made or clarification is required. I'm going to update it over the next week or so.

He's not
-
I think he’s a viable keeper
-
Bad Spanky
-
I read this and thought to myself "Maybe Spanky is right and Scott Oberg became elite and just flew under the radar for me". So I checked Fangraphs. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that Scott Oberg is exactly who I thought he was.
-
Nothing in particular. I could move fringe keepers for pick upgrades. I could trade Ramos. I could trade Brantley for a similarly valuable SP. I could trade for an elite RP.
-
He'll probably put up like an 80 wRC+ with a 35% k-rate this year and we'll both feel dumb.
-
Anybody but P2F looking to make moves?
-
Yeah, he can be assigned to AAA but can’t be optioned back down again without a DFA.
-
I guess Tejada will be in competition with Valera for the bench MIF spot? Neither player is optionable, so the best ST probably makes the team.
-
Time for lengthy player suspensions if this is proven
-
It would be awesome if Altuve/Springer/Bregman are actually just like league average hitters who benefited greatly from cheating.
-
Then by all means please post some Wander Franco content.

https://tht.fangraphs.com/foreign-players-in-the-kbo-what-the-future-holds/ This was a great read. Eric Thames had a 12-WAR season in 2015!
-
Franmil Reyes is barely interesting in a 14-team league. That deal is a lot more interesting in a 20- or 30-teamer.
