    Apparently a one year deal for Joc I think most of the prediction sites guessed 2 years
  2. Laika
    The farm is deep It lacks star power but a couple of lucky breakouts would change a lot

    There are like five replacement level position players on this team. Or close to replacement level. Dunno why people are saying it's good, lmao. Rotation is solid though.

    I have basically been begging the Orioles to spend money for two seasons now You could almost consider me a frustrated Os fan

    Nah They've been a dumpster fire for decades. We can laugh until they win the WS before us then we have to stop

    "Orioles Have Shown Interest In Michael Lorenzen" lmao this will be their big addition

    f*** you joc pederson i didn't want you anyway

    lol he looks so fat in this picture

    I wonder if there is a team willing to sign Trevor Bauer But maybe he wants an actual contract, and the team would rightfully assume that if they wait until March he will sign for league minimum.

    If THIS IS IT then it is impressively bad But we are all assuming they sign at least one more player, and it will be a competent DH That would move it from impressively bad to somewhere in between mediocre and an emotional letdown

    He won three batting titles. People in his era creamed their pants to s*** like that. If Luis Arraez was born in 1940 he'd be a legend.

    Sucks that they invested time in him instead of someone else But good that they found out before buying him Age falsification even by one year turns most of these guys from interesting into complete non-prospects

    Think he's just making a "sol" joke

    *worst pitcher in modern MLB history, arguably

    If you can drive at 16 you should be able to drive at 14! If you can get a gun license at 12, why not 10? What's two years among friends? I'm guessing the old 19 and 14 logic was that they could possibly be in high school together, back when we had grade 13 or if the loser does the fabled victory lap.

    I would be picking the two young guys I think have the most secure jobs for 2024 Harrison, Bradley, Lodolo, Cabrera all have sky high ceilings but each has a playing time question mark for 2024 or in Cabrera's case some gas can risk I feel like Lodolo has the best projections but Harrison might have the most secure rotation spot right now? Maybe those two? Some concern SFG might not let Harrison pitch like a normal SP. Wouldn't keep an injured arm like Rasmussen over any of these kids

    What he did from 2014 until the end of his career probably didn't help his HOF case even a tiny bit. He accrued almost no WAR as a primary 1B, he didn't get over any important milestones during that time, he had 4 of the worst season batting averages of his career. I guess the voters are just saying that his career through age 30 was good enough to make it. And I do think he really looked like a hall of famer most of that time. Dude was a pure hitter. He hit .319/.401 in that time period. The only other .300/.400 hitters qualified from 2004 to 2014 are Helton, Bonds, Manny, Pujols, Votto, Miggy. Kind of nuts for a viable catcher (during this time) to be on that list with pure 1B/DH sluggers.

    Yeah there is of course a hierarchy within the Hall of Fame The First Ballot dudes probably have their own text group They probably don't invite all of the 9th and 10th ballot losers to some of the more exclusive and fun parties The Veterans Committee elections are kind of just participation trophy holders

    Imagine having the balls, the courage, on January 24th, to say that a free agent would be signing "somewhere, soon ish" What a man
  22. Laika
    He said all of this RE the Jays?

    Laika replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    McLeod was kind of breaking out. Might have been on his way to a 20 goal season. He's playing a lot. Dube had 45 points last year and probably only sucked this year because he can't focus. Cal Foote sucks but he was a 1st rounder.
  24. Laika
    I'm not 100% convinced Chapman gets his 5 year deal. Maybe 4 years.

    Russell Martin went to the playoffs in like 10/14 seasons, across four different organizations, that's so impressive BUT I suppose he's just an fWAR pop up candidate. His bWAR isn't there, and his stats are light based on any traditional measurement. Put him in the Hall of Frame I suppose. McCann is in exactly the same situation. When framing was "discovered" the good catchers had this moment in time where half the league didn't care about it so on a peer-relative measurement they were putting up +3 and +4 win values per season based on framing alone. It was real and fair but it was also kind of like playing 1 on 1 with a toddler. I mean, they were framing against Ryan Doumit...
