I see a 2.5% increase in FB rate, small improvements to PD stats that probably don't support a 4-5% drop in K-rate, and similar contact quality to what he did in 2016. If I'm looking for a driver for his big 2017, the 0.392 BABIP - 72 points higher than the career 320 mark he had entering the year - looks like far and away the biggest reason for his success. His steamer projection (111 wRC+, league average player) seems pretty reasonable to me.
-
It really depends on whether or not Duchene re-signs.
-
If they do turn it around before then, it will be largely on the back of Freeman, Albies and Acuna, none of whom are even a product of their rebuild. They`ve done such a terrible job collecting talent over the last three years.
-
It's kind of amazing how bad Atlanta's rebuild was. Three years in a row with less than 73 wins, and their top-10 prospect list consists of three bats signed via international free agency, and 7 pitchers. They've been terrible for three years in order to collect Ender Inciarte and a bunch of semi-interesting pitching prospects.
-
I wouldn't be buying. It looks like the biggest difference between Garcia in 2017 and Garcia previously is about 70 points of BABIP. His floor is so low. Also, he's pretty fat.

And, I'm spent
-
Probably not going to keep two catchers, so one of Zunino and Ramos is available.
-
I don't really understand this. Was Turris not willing to sign that same deal to stay in Ottawa? Hopefully the Senators can work out a long-term extension with Duchene.
-
Very, very unlikely that this FO trades someone like Bichette for a guy with two years of control remaining. Their MO the last two offseasons has been to make short-term additions without borrowing anything from the future. That will almost certainly be the approach again this offseason.
-
Probably a couple of very good prospects.
-
Still looking to move a reliever. I have the following: Aroldis Chapman Dellin Betances Sean Doolittle Anthony Swarzak Trevor Hildenberger A.J. Minter Values obviously vary, and Chapman is most unlikely to move.
-
I don't really see an alternative. I wouldn't start the season with either Jansen or McGuire on the 25-man, and both are too valuable to be let go. They spent all of last year with 3 on the 40-man, and I don't think a 4th would have been that big an imposition.
-
I'm really hoping that the team acquires a competent backup. We've been dealing with a tire fire in that spot for years. - find a backup that won't be a -1 win sinkhole - get Jansen and McGuire on the 40-man - outright Maille and Lopez - expose Pentecost in the Rule V
-
After the Leafs hot start I started seeing articles referring to them as Cup favourites. I’m enjoying this fall immensely.
-
Hmm... I don't really remember how we did it before. I was thinking of the NHL, which does a lottery for the first round only and then reverts to standings. I'm not taking the time to change it, but if someone wants to poll people for a consensus and then make the change if that's what people want, be my guest.
-
It's just the top-5 affected by the lottery. Every pick after is according to standings.
-
Lineup card: (Click on the pick to reveal the team) Pick 1: Computer Guys (had 4 balls) Pick 2: Lotta Sponge (had 3 balls) Pick 3: Greenwood (had 2 balls) Pick 4: ABOM (EBDB BNB) (had 5 balls) Pick 5: EBDB BNB (had 1 ball) It seems right...
-
OK, pick numbers are updated on the sheet. Please have a look at your teams to make sure everything looks right.
-
I assigned the pick numbers, and the one discrepancy is that both P2F and Dr.Dinger own Dinger's 2nd. Can you gents sort that out?
-
It’s especially surprising because Abom gives zero regard to injury histories.
-
I don't own Upton anywhere, but it's not all bad. He gets to hit behind Mike Trout, so he should rack up the RBIs.
-
This should be interesting.
-
What did you trade Eloy for?
-
You should be embarrassed about mentioning every one of these guys as players that someone might give you an asset for.
-
If the Angels could keep their starters healthy, they could be pretty dangerous. A lineup that includes Trout, Upton, Simmons, and Calhoun is pretty dangerous.
