    You read my post from last week.

    Right. Thicc Boi Dynasty is the new name.
  4. Jimcanuck
    This league needs a new name.
  5. Jimcanuck
    Yay!

    Just took a look at Rowdy's MiLB K rates, only shows 1 instance of a K rate over 20%. He definitely looks like a tough out / guy that puts the ball in play.

    smooth play by LGJ
  8. Jimcanuck
    it was a pop up, he had plenty of time to get a long way away
  9. Jimcanuck
    ah he ran into the stool the kid had plenty of time to get out of the way, s***

    looks like it looks like a broken nose

    This will depend on the team and team budget. There is no question that a fixed 27 yrs old FA approach would push out more MLB calibre veterans. This is a simple solution that has not been adopted for a reason.
  12. Jimcanuck
    MLBPA will never agree. Veteran MLB calibre players will be pushed out even more, as teams seek to maximize the return from cost controlled players until 27 ie. players will be elevated before they are ready at a higher frequency. Shadow ST teams like the one seen this past spring with Moose and others will become quite large.
  13. Jimcanuck
    Beat you to it by 2 minutes, other than I increased the time to 7 years to give teams further incentive to elevate deserving players.
  14. Jimcanuck
    A bit of a more complicated option: Commence FA exactly 7 years after MLB call-up, ie. if called up July 25, 2018, the player hits free agency on July 25, 2025. The player doesn't actually enter the free agent market, but remains with the team from July 25, 2025 until season's end. Compensation from July 25, 2025 to season's end is calculated based on the average compensation for the highest paid 25% of comparable players using WAR (or some other accepted metric). By this method there is no reason for a team to keep a MLB ready player on the farm. As well, players will not be elevated to MLB until they are truly ready. MLBPA will like this, veterans less likely to be replaced by A+ or even A ball players as has happened in the past.

    Matt Boyd 9K in his first 4IP
  16. Jimcanuck
    I comp McK to Catalanotto tbh
  17. Jimcanuck
    nice poke by Tellez with the 2 strikes and against a guy tough on lefties he's got a chance to carve out a nice MLB career
  18. Jimcanuck
    They've been in touch.
  19. Jimcanuck
    Best way to do it is increase the compensation for teams that lose free agents, lessening the loss. The obvious one is supplementary picks (team signing the playing loses nothing), as was the case a few years ago. Another option is to mandate bonuses be paid to A+, AA, and AAA players based on performance. If high performing AA / AAA players are going to have to be paid a sizable bonus, might as well bring them up? The two things above in combination would probably go a long way. The other thing is time to free agency based on MLB entry age, ie. a player that enters MLB at 19 yrs, 6 mo has a longer service time before free agency than a player that enters at 24 yrs, 2 mo. Come up with some reasonable formula. Reduces the incentive a team has to keep a player down. Just a few ideas off the top of my head.
  20. Jimcanuck
    And? SSS applies
  21. Jimcanuck
    Agreed, but note the last few trades have been for pitching prospects. Some of the pitching has to come from the farm.
  22. Jimcanuck
    ftfy
  23. Jimcanuck
    Ya, Law is an outlier. No idea why his rankings are imported into the BJMB rankings sheet.
  24. Jimcanuck
    Interesting to see my man John McDonald near the top
  25. Jimcanuck
    Devo Travis bounces back, delivers at least 2 WAR.
