    Yoshida is kind of whatever Eloy might be a dump in a year or two. Dude is made of glass
  2. Laika
    I don't mean he's not good But the strasburg comparisons are insane Skenes doesn't even have good fastball shape (apparently)
  3. Laika
    Skenes is not that good
  4. Laika
    I think I agree with this Horwitz and Kirk/Jansen is not a bad platoon DH solution
  5. Laika
    So who would a bargain bin platoon RH DH be? A tiny bit of defensive utility would be nice
  6. Laika
    No idea but I kind of do. He had the best 2023 and it wasn't really close. I think he gets $16M or more He has also been more consistently good than the rest
  7. Laika
    Nah JDM, yes. Rest are debatable. Joc might be 1/12. Soler, it depends on term.
  8. Laika
    Would prefer Joc for 1 year over Soler for 3 years But I'll take anybody. Hoskins, JDM, also good...
  9. Laika
    Chapman's market appears to be exactly where most of us thought it should be. Somehow just under $100M. Not to exceed 100m. Wonder if Toronto jumps back in now
  10. Laika
    I'm fine with a multi-year deal if the AAV isn't massive. He's got legit upside.
  11. Laika
    lol If there was tons of free agent demand for these guys they wouldn't all be free agents still. And Teoscar would not have settled for a 1 year pillow. These guys are sweating buckets. Brandon Belt is begging his agent to even find him a job. Soler is already whining to the media because the Marlins don't want him. No demand.
  12. Laika
    But Joc should get like 12M Soler is half the talent of Teoscar, he might be for something like 3/36M
  13. Laika
    Nah. Vlad 40 HR Bo .300/30/115 Springer turns back the clock Schneider 30 HR IKF gold glove Jansen stays healthy Kirk mashes Varsho goes 30/20
  14. Laika
    Lol right?
  15. Laika
    But does it?
  16. Laika
    I dunno anything about Ferris but he only signed for $500k less than Barriera out of the 2022 draft and had a strong debut on stats So.... Imma say Brandon Barriera
  17. Laika
    it's not a PREDICTION it's a PROJECTION they are still humans, and baseball has lots of variance in Vlad's case, he is an idiot human who probably ignores advice and probably does not train properly you can lower your personal PROJECTIONS for him accordingly. I don't think Steamer incorporates IQ. tools-wise he is exactly the same guy he was when he hit 48 homers...
  18. Laika
    he still looks good "under the hood" 95th percentile xwOBA in 2023
  19. Laika
    He wants to be Seth Lugo I guess But a four year deal? I guess if he does turn into a decent SP he would be a free agent at 32 so he could get a multi year FA contract at SP level money But unless he changes major things he'll just be a 4.50 ERA starter who doesn't even give you innings because he walks so many batters
  20. Laika
    what the f*** he will NOT be a good starter dude has minus minus command
  21. Laika
    0 WAR team wins like 47 games. Toronto projects for 43.3 WAR with current roster, per Steamer. 90.3 win projection. 5th in baseball, but closer to #10 (Mets, 40.2 WAR) than even #4 (Astros, 47.3 WAR). AL EAST goes Yankees - 48.3 Jays - 43.3 Rays - 40.9 Orioles - 39.9 Sox - 35.7 Need to add some f***ing wins. It would be great to add like 4 projected WAR somehow, to get closer to the Yankees by projections... and further from TB and BAL. Stankees probably have more downside risk to their projection based on age, youth, injury problems, that kind of s***.
  22. Laika
    Insane contract. Everybody must despise Stroman.
  23. Laika
    nah they were f***ing studs the modern DH plays like 115 games because they platoon a bit and get days off back then these dudes were the best hitters on the team and they all got 750 PA ahaha
  24. Laika
    Ross needs to HOLD THE LINE and not give any of these greedy bastards more money than they deserve. Could always bring Belt back for like $6M I bet. Or Votto for.... nothing? ahha
  25. Laika
    6th SP? I don't think he's started in any meaningful way since like, 2018. Just some 2 inning opener appearances, probably. 0.1 WAR projection. The team models obviously don't think he's much better than replacement level. Probably a push with Mitch White
