    Agreed

    Yeah fair to assume that when Toronto pulled the trigger on Turner, Boras was still holding the line hard on Chapman These Bellinger and Chapman deals probably happen in like one day after the player finally lets it be known that they will take this kind of deal
  3. Laika
    I feel like the decision was made when they signed Falaffle The Turner signing did take up the most budget but it's a pure offense signing Falaffle just doesn't make sense for this team at his price if he's going to be a utility player. The cost says he's the primary 3B.

    Maybe they offered it before 2023 so it would have been five free agent years He was a 29 year old coming off 4.2 WAR

    They do have a good record, lmao YOU put zero effort into showing that they don't have a good record Foolish

    Don't be dumb It takes 6+ years for most of these kids to develop. If you're looking for "impact MLB players signed since 2016" you are essentially just asking how well they did in the 2016-2018 years. Kind of a butthole of a question dude
  7. Laika
    Nah they do okay here Moreno, Orelvis, Leo Jimenez, Otto Lopez (RIP), Robberse, Zulueta, Kendrys Rojas Getting any international player NEAR the big leagues is a win

    Maybe Chapman's position was basically "if I'm going to have to take a pillow deal it'll be with SFG"
  9. Laika
    I think we've decided to just let the bots have the OT forum Tactical retreat
  10. Laika
    Most of it can be explained by the developmental system being bad. Symptoms of the same problem. When you aren't confident on your internal depth you can't really wait out free agency. That being said, most teams misread the off-season. When the dust settles there will be a handful that read it right and profited. Cubs are one, Giants are two I guess. We will see who gets Snell for $25M.

    Hey, Jays get a comp pick though Can't wait for them to blow it on another college 2B prospect with no tools
  12. Laika
    I guess they just never really wanted Chapman at his age Maybe the rumours of the Jays making him a sizeable offer are not even true?

    Vogelbach is fighting for his MLB life and he hits a tank off the second best P in baseball Let fatty roll around the bases if he wants
  14. Laika
    Yeah not even I can defend this Atkins off-season is like when you play an auction draft in exactly the wrong way. 1. Try to get the elite players but just miss 2. Correctly don't react and overpay for the second tier guys 3. BUT completely panic that you'll get nobody shortly thereafter, and blow your budget on oatmeal 4. Watch someone else pay less money for better players, later 21.5M for an amalgam (Turner and IKF) that probably combine for 3 WAR while taking up two roster spots... while the incumbent 3 WAR 3B ends up signed for less. Sweet.

    Honestly don't care if he makes the team It's probably him or Horwitz and they have to project the same for the role they would fill...
  16. Laika
    Yeah the more concerning part was probably the velo

    Laika replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    The fact that you don't remember him probably answers the question (no) but it raises the floor on their third pairing I guess
  18. Laika
    This is a good idea
  19. Laika
    oof that was me at least Alcantara did explode... eventually... like I figured he would Man, Whit Merrifield was a fantasy stud for some time though. For a few years he was the #1 2B in our format by end of season production.
  20. Laika
    Since baseball has very much opened up the idea of using draft picks to incentivize behaviour... How about bonus comp picks for teams that manage to use the fewest number of pitchers, or cross certain IP thresholds for their SP? Make it so teams directly benefit from promoting pitcher health and using traditional starters. "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." - Warren Buffet

    Spanky is completely right here, for the record. His posts were squarely about baseball/Manoah/commentary on Manoah, then he got hit with a wildly over the top direct personal attack.
  22. Laika
    Guys, he hit three batters. Lmfao HE HIT THREE BATTERS
  23. Laika
    Skill issue Sounds like a bunch of geezers who can't scout pitching and need the league to hold their hands Just join a 12 team redraft
  24. Laika
    Makes sense on the Blue Jays specifically as the CF is an elite veteran Varsho would just let him eat every time
  25. Laika
    Yeah you can do even better than that at some places. Like, $5 for a ticket and a beer.
