April, lol. Kelenic will prove me right eventually
-
1st and a good prospect is about the value of Jordan Walker anyway
-
Walker for Franco seems fair for both sides
-
The farm system is hot hot hot
-
But the white text on black is probably just a leak from Camp Franco that paints everything as cleanly as possible. For all we know, they met when she was 12, there is a nearly 5 year age gap and Wander Franco has just been laying pipe to her off and on ever since, and there are other minors involved. Who knows!
-
I had no idea you were such a racist, Jimmy News: Wander Franco is a pedophile Jim, who owns Wander in every board league: Listen. All Dominicans f*** children. Getting pregnant at 12 is a right of passage in Central America. This will blow over.
-
Aaron Hernandez?
-
Yeah for something like this, even if he did nothing criminal... If MLB's investigation shows enough "impropriety" then he is likely done.
-
Who is Jack Gelof?
-
Man, I'll take Todd Frazier.
-
I'm thinking 50 AAV for Ohtani When it comes to stuff like this, it's mostly about eclipsing the last highest paid player. It kind of stops being about $/WAR in this realm.
-
Lots of roster action in Buffalo today In addition to the Bichette rehab 2-3 and the Orelvis HR, single, BB.... Richards and Green both pitched. Zach Pop is getting MURDERED in AAA, lmao.
-
455 foot home run good lord
-
I don't think he has a chance at 600 HR. He'd have to have a MASSIVE positive turnaround in health and then average like 33 HR for the next six years before retiring.
-
He has some borderline stuff in his profile so he could go either way (improve or get exposed). But he will end up around 2 WAR this year and will project for 3+ going forward based on age and stats. 88 wRC+ is not really "absolute s***" for a 22 year old infielder. But his K rate and mediocre maxEV make me think stardom is much less likely than Yankee fans were hoping for. Kind of has some Jon Villar, Ian Desmond-ish vibes...

GDT: Game 1/2 Phillies @ Blue Jays (Aug 15 at 7:07 ET)
Laika replied to G-Snarls's topic in Game Thread Archive
The bullpen is stacked now. People are just used to mediocrity and can't see the forest for the trees at the moment. Richards - elite whiff rate Romano - elite projections, track record, stuff Hicks - elite velo, stuff, and GB rate Swanson - very good total package reliever Mayza - elite results (ERA, lol) Garcia - reliable strike-thrower, good stuff, probably unlucky so far Cabrera - high upside second lefty Green - wild card with elite history Jackson - worthwhile journeyman Francis - perfectly cromulent extra arm When you consider that three or four of these names are almost irrelevant for playoff considerations, you realize how good it is right now. If Yimi Garcia is the worst reliever in your pen then it is f***ing loaded. In past years this pen would have been Romano-Mayza-Yimi and then four scrubs. Toronto has not had a bullpen this good in a long, long time. -
The Yankees are horrible and it's awesome. They also probably can't reset any time soon. They owe Stanton big money, DJLM $15Maav through 2026, Rizzo $17M next year, Rodon dumb money through 2028. They can keep payroll here and try to add free agents to replace the small amount of money that is coming off the books (Donaldson, Severino, etc. about $60M coming off the books) but tricky to do that without signing scrubs or committing to more long term money. They also have several significant players rising in Arb costs. They kind of..... desperately need Volpe and a couple of other guys to turn into cheap stars.

43 pitch blown save for Andres Munoz...

Schneider has not played much 3B in the minors the last two years The org must not think of him as a decent enough 3B defender -

Would rather sit Espinal but yeah I don't see a single reason to play Espinal over Schneids. Sighhhhh. -
No, you weren't. Everyone agrees that the 2021 season results sucked
-
It's fine to be upset or disappointed that they did not make it in 2021 It is not fine or reasonable to criticize the FO for "not going for it" or "failing" or whatever your broader point is or was
-
It begins The ascent The Bo Bichette trajectory
-
yes. yes they are.
-
Man he is probably done. It's take what you can get season.
