    Holy f***, your BBDL team is a disaster. I'll be passing you in the standings soon.

    Moreno for Logan Gilbert, mate. Almost the same amount of control.
  3. Jimcanuck
    Showcasing Moreno for a trade is working out nicely

    I'm pretty sure Ray or Gausman was at the top of the list. If Verlander had been signed, Kooch would not have been.

    anecdotal evidence is next to useless

    C'mon man everyone knows pitchers throw with increased effort when they are a pen arm as opposed to a starting pitcher. Pitchers can and do adjust the level of effort to the circumstances. If in 1970 an SP was expected to pitch 8 innings/game on average, the effort level would be adjusted accordingly. If they expectation today is 6 innings/game on average, the adjustment will be made. So if an SP today is throwing with a level of effort commensurate with an expectation of 6 innings/90 pitches max and is dominant though 6/90 and the game is 6-0, well guess what, there might be a new pitcher for the 7th inning. It's not being babied, its protecting an asset (and increasing the team's chance of reaching the postseason, for that matter).

    The poor woman
  8. Jimcanuck
    Yes, that is part of the evolution, along with SP throwing max effort for fewer innings.

    Intensity correlates with the rising K rate. Strikeout rate in 1988 was 15%, now it is 25%. This doesn't happen without putting significant additional stress on pitching arms, not just to throw fastballs but to throw fastballs and other pitches with higher spin rates. Nolan Ryan's fastball was pretty straight. It's not babying pitchers, it's managing the risk to valuable team assets.

    Of course I would trade Bo for Juan Soto. The worst thing you can do is get attached to this player or that player and make them off limits for making the team better.

    lol, ok doctor

    Well, they could certainly try, but Miami may not play ball. Remember, it takes two to tango.
  13. Jimcanuck
    If he took it, would we still have Grich is the question.
  14. Jimcanuck
    Said it before, will say it again. It's not a question of who to keep and who to trade, but a question of which player returns the highest value in trade. Sorry to deflate anyone's hardon. If pitching rich Miami wants to give us Lopez for Moreno, and the best deal they can find for Jansen is Madison Bumgarner + a good prospect or two, what do you do?

    lern2read, i said next year anyway, there's a reason why you've been trying to get casas off me for over a year now
  16. Jimcanuck
    Yes, f***ing stupid. Garcia gives up hard hit balls in succession, 4 outs away from the win, and he leaves Romano in the pen??
  17. Jimcanuck
    No f***s given.
  18. Jimcanuck
    In a trade, both sides are taking risk.
  19. Jimcanuck
    That's essentially what I said ("well within the realm of possibility"). Everyone is going to have a different number on that. On the flip side, 33 yr old Altuve might see a drop to < 120 wRC+ next year and a further drop the year after.
  20. Jimcanuck
    I'm happy to see this comment given how often you've been wrong.
  21. Jimcanuck
    really? i thought it was 2 people with the exact same stupid ideas
  22. Jimcanuck
    It's all valuation mate, everyone values players differently. Value of 32 yr olds vs prospects is apples and oranges and quite subjective. If two owners can't align so be it.
  23. Jimcanuck
    C'mon guys, anyone with a name like Big BlueJay is 10 yrs old or so.
  24. Jimcanuck
    Someone brought up Casas. So far, the offers I've received are for Casas + for Altuve. IMO, it's well within the realm of possibility that 23 yr old Casas will be a more valuable 20 teamer asset than 33 yr old Altuve, NEXT YEAR. So Spanky and I haven't be able to close the gap, he has Altuve > Casas in terms of fantasy value, I have Casas > Altuve. No deal is not the end of the world, Casas can be my 1B beast for the next 10 years, Spanky's Altuve can decline and no longer be fantasy relevant in 3 years or so. Have considered Casas straight up for Altuve, but it's tough in dynasty, as it is for MLB teams, to move top prospects.

    oh that sucks for Mikolas, lose a no no with 2 outs in the 9th
