    Well well well, let me tell you something about Vlad...

    it turns out that bullpens are easy to make!
  3. Laika
    yes I did that on purpose

    Even if you can't get Vientos, the Mets have a lot of prospects that are intriguing and would probably be available for various reasons (mainly because they were hurt or didn't perform well in 2024). Like, take your pick out of Jett, Mauricio, Benge, Drew Gilbert, Jeremy Rodriguez, Christian Scott, Sproat, Tidwell, Hamel, Ryan Clifford, Nolan McLean. Could definitely get a bulk package lol.

    The slurplus value will be franchise altering

    holy f***

    They haven't made a good transaction in years. Every trade sucks. Every signing sucks.

    And the projection systems seem to all agree. STEAMER - .307 wOBA ZiPS - .309 wOBA OOPSY - .312 wOBA I think coming into his age 28 season all of these would still be projecting some positive growth but from 2026 on the opposite will be true. Pulled flyballs are kind of the best thing you can do if you have any power whatsoever. OOPSY is some new system that uses bat speed and other fancy new s***. For all of Varsho's flaws, he does have bat speed. #3 on the team behind Vlad and Barger. It does help him make contact sometimes even when he is fooled (which is why his plate discipline stats are a bit better than he "looks" as a hitter) and of course it helps him murder a baseball once a week.

    Yeah but they can just sign new ones. The total MLB budget for IFAs is not changing, so it's just musical chairs for the most part.

    It is hard to imagine that there is anything else there at this point. It does not seem like he has the physical hitting tools to be better on offense. He might be able to squeeze a few more wOBA points out of his skillset with minor changes... maybe. But hitting just looks "hard" for him all the time. A lot of his walks come from being passive and getting lucky, for example, and not really from having a good eye (IMO). A lot of people are mad he isn't as good or better than he was in Arizona but with his swiss cheese swing and mediocre eye, I wonder if we should just be happy that he's a league average (ish) hitter still?

    Pete Walker! Maybe they flew in Daulton Varsho and he put on a little show shagging flyballs
  12. Laika
    don't think I have ever seen a ZiPS projection that bad for a team every single spot on the team ranges from atrocious to below average, other than where Luis Robert stands

    Sasaki just milking LAD/SDP for free dinners and stuff before signing in Toronto
  14. Laika
    Good point. I guess there might be other ways to "exert leverage" like negotiate for certain conditions or special treatment. But I am sure every team would basically do whatever this guy asks for off the field.

    Roki is racist?
  16. Laika
    biggest tits
  17. Laika
    Use me, Sasaki!
  18. Laika
    I dunno man. Langford and Wood already project very well. I dunno!!!

    Fangraphs has their P at 13 WAR which is 11th in the AL! Position players are like #5 in the AL though. Of course that's a defense heavy position players WAR...

    Older players are far less likely to regress to the mean and improve, statistically. He's not the worst signing in the world at some amount of money I just don't really see the point given the projections of guys like Roden and Wagner and Schneider.
  22. Laika
    Dude he's like 38 and was just about replacement level last year and projects to be replacement level He MIGHT bounce back but I'd honestly just sign Justin Turner again if he are bringing in a crusty veteran
  23. Laika
    True in theory but Vogelbach projected similarly last year and was much cheaper and he was still a roadblock in front of Horwitz for too long.
  24. Laika
    Problem with JDM is he sucks. I think I'd rather just play Davis Schneider or whatever.
  25. Laika
    Okay but there's no such thing as the "budget on the pitching side" Just one budget bro
