  1. A lack of diving catches does not make Varsho any less impressive. His abilities in tracking balls, taking perfect routes, cutting off gappers, etc. are very impressive. Pillar was probably about as good during his defensive peak but he broke down a bit after 2016 and was just good from then on. No longer great.
  2. that's just what you get for rostering Patrick Corbin in 2023
  3. I think he gets $500M guaranteed. One of these 12 WAR seasons to a team is worth like.... $100M to $120M on its own. So he only needs to give the signing team a handful of elite years to earn the deal. And like you said, even though he seems like a high risk player because of what he does his double skill set is actually a hedge against some catastrophic, career ruining injuries. So on an annual basis yes, you are always worried about injuries because of how much he does, but over the course of a decade maybe the injury concerns aren't as severe? If that makes any sense.
  4. Happ is fine but he's a corner outfielder who is going to end up with like 17 HR and 9 SB. That's pretty boring, and not an impact player. At this point in the season most teams have their starting OF group and are more likely to need SP, anyway.
  5. Josiah Gray is garbage

    Wow what a signing I do not understand If he got a five year deal I wouldn't have blinked
  8. Toronto should have enough power, guys just aren't hitting enough. Vlad 40 Bo 30 Springer 30 Chapman 20 Varsho 20 Belt 20 Jansen 20 Kirk 15 ^ all reasonable hr totals
  9. What did Marcus do
  10. Adam Wainwright is having an incredibly sad final season
  11. people want the wins to be so easy that it's not even entertaining
  12. Refined his stuff. 117 Stuff+ in 2023 (109 sinker, 141! slider) vs 108 Stuff+ in 2022 with just 82 on the slider. And similar in 2021. Also, refined his command. 103 Location+ this year is a full standard deviation above average (i.e. 60 grade command). So he is 60 FB, 60 Command, 60+ slider. He's a weapon. This might be a pitching lab win.... He looks boring because it's still 75% sinkers
  13. Berrios and Chapman have a chance as reserves I guess and Merrifield
  14. Preller is so f***ing awful
  15. they are humans some of them are simply addicted to food, just like your girlfriend

    Makes sense to me, haha.
  17. I'm just laughing at the idea of the Jays little nerd biomechanics guy getting his first look at Manoah in the spring

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/nba-player-ratings/ ranks very high on this
  19. hopefully you can find someone selling good vets!
  20. Richards + Francis combo is kind of comfy
  21. What did you give me for him anyway Scherzer?
  22. This makes sense because I am significantly smarter than you
