It's not an unreasonable question. Until he put up a wRC+ close to 200 this year, Trout wasn't really a better hitter than Miggy or prime Pujols, and people fairly draw comps between Vlad those two guys. The realistic upside right now is very much "best hitter in baseball". I really hope he's not just here for 6 years. Toronto is a world lass city, and there's no reason why we can't enjoy this possible HoF career from beginning to end.

It sucks that we're going to have to wait until like April 20th to see him next year. I want to see gaudy full-season numbers.
-
That's an absurd statement though
-
Multiple goalies complaining that they're getting bruised stopping pucks with the new reduced pads. Great job, NHL.
-
It's interesting, yes. But I don't see how it's controversial. The players respect who they respect.
-
I actually kind of am TBH. Given that players are nominated for being respected by their teammates as a person, rather than as a player, I don't see how anyone can really question whether he's deserving of the nomination. I see it as a nice reminder that people are a lot more than their worst moments, and that none of us actually know these guys as people.

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jose-reyes-has-been-honored-for-his-off-field-behavior/ The fangraphs community is PISSED that Jose Reyes was voted by the players as the Mets nominee for the Marv Miller Man of the Year Award. Players voted for the player they “most respect based on his leadership on the field and in the community.” Apparently people are defined by one incident, and the players are wrong to hold high respect for Reyes.

I hope it's Baldelli, for no other reason than that it would be cool.
-
No retreads, and all 37-46 years old. Seems like a solid pool.
-
Matheson gets 2 games. Glad the NHL ruled that the play was over the line.
-
I have some bats available for picks/prospects, or for pitching upgrades: Wilson Ramos Nick Williams Ramon Laureano CJ Cron Ji-Man Choi
-
My last three DDL trades have been with Laika.
-
Rodon, Kingery, and Woodruff to njh for Brantley, McHugh, and Cahill
-
As you say, the hit was fine. Matheson used his size and strength advantage to separate Pettersson from the puck and remove him from the play. What happened after was not fine: grabbing the shoulders of a player off balance from the hit and shoving him to the ice back first when he's not in a position to protect himself is a dangerous play, and the outcome (concussion) isn't really surprising. There's room for physical contact, but hockey is not a combat sport. Hopefully the NHL chooses to protect its stars. We'll see how the hearing goes today.
-
I made the mistake of going to HFBoards to read the hot takes on this play. So many posts abut how it was a hockey play that maybe warranted a 2-minute minor. Apparently Pettersson isn't strong enough for NHL. What the NHL needs is one of the most talented players in the world staying in Sweden because 176 lbs is too light to prevent him from being checked, then body-slammed WWE-style to the ice back first while he's still off balance from a hit.

Seems like a joke that Todd wouldn't necessarily be in on. If it ended up funny, it would be mean-spirited. -

I would not listen to this. -
What’s going on in here? Do I have to ban someone?
-
Jim, you have to remember that not everybody bangs supermodels like you. Ryan Braun had to settle for a mid-tier lingerie model, and that's ok.
-
Just looked up Braun's wife. Goddamn that man is living his best life.
-
It's really weird to me that Wade Miley is dominating an NLCS start.
-
I like the ring of Danny Jansen: franchise catcher. We've probably taken consistency at the C position for granted with Martin here the last 4 years, but that's so huge for a pitching staff.
-
Literally nobody is convinced Merryweather will ever be a #3 starter. He’s just the kind of guy we should be adding on the cheap hoping a couple pan out.
-
Will Smith available for prospects
-
Paying assets for pitching prospects is almost always a bad idea. Pick up interesting arms on the cheap when you can, or a trade for/sign actual healthy MLB arms. The odds of a highly touted MiLB arm actually contributing as a good MLB starter are so small.
