Only me, and you know it! Good luck rolling the dice on Fernando Rodney

Dave Cameron out at Fangraphs; BTS rejoice!

Lol steal for z3r0s. Polanco suxxxxxxxxxx. His ceiling is like Adam Jones without CF.
-
Yep I'm up and just took two codeine. Lets wheel.

Motherf***, I ate the floor at dodgeball tonight, ended up with 4 stitches and a staple and possibly a concussion.

How dare you disparage my long-term core like this!

I would take a flier on Max Scherzer trade centrepiece Corey Dickerson.

The bigger problem is that's just a very boring thesis.

TIL the Raptors have the 3rd best record in the NBA

Is Syndergaard going bald? https://www.mlb.com/news/noah-syndergaard-healthy-excited-for-2018/c-264394684 -
There's no point in continually bringing up that xFIP and trying to extrapolate it over a full season of starting. First of all, there's no point using a blended DIPS of his starting and relieving and assuming it will hold steady. Moreover, his HR spiked when he started being used as a starter. You can assume that's a blip in HR rate that will regress, but I'd say it's more likely that his stuff plays down over longer outings, his sinker flattens out, and his lack of secondary offerings means he gets hammered in subsequent trips through the lineup. Joe Biagini is not a 4.11 xFIP starter, and certainly not across 200 innings, so please drop that narrative.

League average hitter for a 20 team league is above 100 wRC+, probably more like 105. Runs are a somewhat underrated category though, and Calhoun does well there.
-
Wo... a 1st round pick for a league average hitting OF... nice get for BTS IMO.
-
That's just the Nationals list FYI
-
I feel like Trea Turner is Robles' 95th percentile outcome, but with SS eligibility AND CF. Just a weird thing to write.
-
Top Talents 25 and Under (born 4/1/1992 or after): 1) Bryce Harper 2) Victor Robles 3) Trea Turner --- Um... wat
-
He's mediocre either way and I find it impossible to care. Let's just dick him around between both roles until he sucks or gets hurt. Hopefully he's not so fat this season.
-
Wo... BP put an 80 OFP on Robles.
-
Yep. Diaz and Solarte are some very nice depth upgrades with proven upside, and the cost for both was basically just absorbing their salaries.
-
Average relievers at best.
-
It's not just his inability to pitch deep into games and his inability to make 30 starts, he has serious injury red flags with both his elbow and shoulder. He's tantalizing but also very likely to completely break down at any time. It's also pretty gross to think about how abysmal our bullpen would be without our one good reliever. Osuna is the linchpin, behind him it's absolute s***. I'm sure Shatkins would be in on Salazar due to their history, but trading Osuna to get him doesn't seem like much of a net win.

Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports (LOL still gets me) reports that the Blue Jays, Orioles, Giants and Mets are among the teams that have shown interest in Carlos Gonzalez. The Rockies also haven't ruled out re-signing CarGo, although it doesn't appear that they view him as a priority at this point. Heyman notes that Gonzalez might be best off taking a one-year "pillow" contract in hopes of re-establishing his value following a disappointing showing in 2017. The 32-year-old batted .262/.339/.423 with 14 home runs and 57 RBI over 136 games for the Rockies last season.

Keep AA prospects in the Rule 5 draft. For one thing, it makes the Rule 5 more meaty. It's already skimpy every year, let's not make it even less interesting. The other issue is that if we go with "If a player who did not reach AA or higher in the previous season is promoted to the big leagues during the season, then they can be added in Yahoo as soon as their MLB parent club adds them to their 25 man roster" there is going to be a lot of ambiguity on when the player was officially added. We are going to have owners camping out Yahoo until 4 in the morning sitting on a player until he's added to the 25 man roster? That's no way to live. Keep it the way it is. I'm good with the IFA changes, but keep unowned AA prospects from the previous season eligible for the Rule 5 and eligible to be added any time.

The thing that's most established is that he hasn't demonstrated durability as a starter. He's a 20 start starter.
