    Hmmmmmm 🤔

    Depends on how many IL spots you have. The dude's other four OF all rank higher in redraft right now
  3. Laika
    Time to dump Trout, maybe
  4. Laika
    Agreed He's delusional Santander was realistic and smart What was in store for all of these guys was shown clearly last off-season

    I've been interested in Ryan Jennings for a year now. I think he has a chance. It's more of a SP profile though. Maybe he gets a chance in the pen and then it he is okay, some day a chance to stretch out?

    Florida guy. Polar Bear nickname. Angels have NO SHOT.

    No cap I'm not sure Robert is even worth more than Andres Gimenez was

    Yimi + Hoffman + Sandlin is a decent offseason for the pen already. I am not sure it makes sense to make more big additions there. If they want to dump Pop or Nance there are still a bunch of projected upgrades in the FA pile who will be very cheap. Ryan Borucki for $1M Adam Ottavino for $3M Brooks Raley (TJS rehab, probably back in July) I mean there are lots of guys who can upgrade the last spot or two in the pen. Take your pick. Dozens of names.

    Ross Atkins is such a slut
  12. Laika
    The Santander deal has a NPV of like $68M. In an off-season where guys like Max Fried and Willy Adames are getting $200M guaranteed... Just give Boss Atkins his flowers.

    The non-Vlad logic for the Mets to walk away from Peter is that they probably think Vientos is a 1B and they don't want to completely clog up 1B and DH. Most teams like to use DH as a flex position these days. Maybe they let Pete Alonso walk then sign Bregman.
  14. Laika
    3/$42M Almost exactly what MLBTR and Fangraphs predicted
  15. Laika
    I don't really think they are comparable purchases Like, Alonso is a hired gun, short term, one dimensional player Vlad would be a 10+ year commitment and just so much more than Alonso both as a hitter and as a marketing asset
  16. Laika
    Hector edging hard here Edge King
  17. Laika
    And we all know that in any given season Vlad could literally hit 50+ homers I don't think anyone would be shocked if he turned into a 180 wRC+ guy. Aaron Judge career path. Why not? It could happen. You pay for the upside, sort of.
  18. Laika
    Alonso + Profar + Scherzer Trade Wags and Clement for some controllable Ace RPs Vlad is the 3B. Pete 1B. DH rotates.
  19. Laika
    It would not be his ideal role since he has enough pitches to be a SP Avila is basically a poor man's Y Rod

    So tough to make the Hall as a catcher. Martin compares well to Molina and McCann by most measures. I think too many voters just think of his framing runs as a bit artificial, though. And maybe they have a point. He was good at pitch framing when the measurement of it was new, so there were still a lot of guys catching at the time who were just dogshit and would never catch a major league game these days. The way they calculate the stats compares him to his peers. So, is it fair to just give Martin like, +20 runs in a given year as a pitch framer when he is being compared directly to Ryan Doumit? I don't know the answer I just know that some people for these reasons see his framing runs as a bit artificial, or almost as an artifact of side-effect of when he played and the statistical developments he played through.

    Stuff+ doesn't love Avila but he would be a good long-man for anybody. Has five distinct pitches including two different fastballs. I think I would prefer him on the roster over someone like Nance or Pop, since he could cover innings or even be a 3 inning opener. Some pseudo SP depth like Richards provided. He could also perhaps be better by just being even more of a junkballer. His CH and SL have okay Stuff+ grades, it's the fastballs that are the real issue.

    The Kirk effect
  23. Laika
    I mean you just posted a tweet about Tim Anderson signing a minor league deal with the Angels, what exactly do you want people to talk about?
  24. Laika
    I love this contract, it's a masterpiece by Boss Atkins. What if he becomes a crummy player? No big deal, NPV of $14M AAV is peanuts. What if he is really good and opts out in three years? Avenue one - great! Thanks for the service Tony. What is he is really good and opts out in three years? Avenue two - void his opt out by exercising the team option and thereby capture the upside on the remaining contract! This solves the normal issue with player options. What if the team tanks in 2025 and AS is here for five years? Well, at least it's front-loaded so the effect on actual payroll in 2028/2029 is minimal.

    Hey now. Not fair. They signed Caleb Thielbar and Matthew Boyd!
