    I don't agree. I don't think Lopez is that type of player that you need to groom any further. He's basically a finished product so if he's the best fit he should be on the big team.

    It's just infinite cope from Americans because a bunch of their players don't go, and they don't dominate it every year like they would in international basketball. It is clear at this point that the WBC is VERY popular in Asia and Central America. Canadians are also whiny cope artists when it comes to the WBC, but take out the part about even expecting to be good.

    Cancel the WBC! lol

    Miller

    Maybe this is the GM hinting to Votto that he SHOULD ask for a trade haha
  6. Laika
    probably a couple words lost in transcription there "[for example] if we were out of it and he asked to be traded to Toronto..."

    lmao okay belt season ending injury, replace the next day with votto I guess
  8. Laika
    Meh just leave it

    No, he signed in Japan recently. https://www.giants.jp/news/6746/ It says he signed a "training contract" I don't know what that means but perhaps it is like a two way deal?

    have honestly never heard of mason fluharty dumb last name though, wow
  11. Laika
    just say that you were wrong and apologize to Tyler no need for this block of pure cope

    what the f*** are you trying to say? that's the dumbest thing anybody has ever written about baseball, ever. keep tyler o'neill's name out of your mouth. he is a +6 UZR/150 defender in his career with +9.2 BsR Teoscar is a minus 6 /150 defender and a negative baserunner in his career I would cut my dick off if Tyler O'Neill ever took a single play off

    He makes enough poor decisions on the field that you do legitimately start to question his attitude in some ways. Yeah, a number of balls off the wall that he admires. Consistently bad defense. Lazy defense. Bad defensive numbers despite good physical tools. Baserunning blunders. The guy has 84th percentile sprint speed, 87th percentile arm strength, and 95th percentile max exit velocity. By tools, he should be a five tool stud but because of "goofiness" or whatever you want to call it he's closer to a DH.

    Yeah Gurriel was a clown but he also just kind of sucks, since he's a statue in the outfield and too enigmatic/incomplete with the bat. Teoscar being moved was just a monetary efficiency thing, and part of a series of moves to build out a more well-rounded team. His horrible defense and bad baserunning decisions were getting stale. In both respects it was just a baseball team moving on from a ~30 year old corner outfielder getting near free agency... ... the murder of the Barrio might have been a side-effect. Maybe the organization saw that as a positive but it would not have been the point of the moves.

    might be sort of an AFL situation where some teams actually WANT their arms to go like if a prospect or young player got hurt for two months and needs innings and experience
  16. Laika
    I dunno. Maybe they could do creative scheduling so almost none of the big WBC games actually overlap with MLB playoff games.
  17. Laika
    we all talked about this in another thread but there is no right answer. Spring Training = players might not be fully ready. players have to balance competing in the WBC with things like trying to win an MLB roster spot, or gelling with new teammates. After World Series = players are tired as f***, burnt out. added innings for pitchers might have increased injury risk at this time? Middle of the year = you'd lose the All Star game every 4 years and the MLB schedule might need slight changes. May need to contract WBC to fit in shorter timeframe. Maybe they should do it DURING the MLB playoffs? I think the world hockey championship used to do this, or does do this. Players can join their country teams if and when they get eliminated from league play.

    Kendrys Morales jumps into home - shatters both legs in six places, never walks again Cody Bellinger does cool jump high five - ruptures both capsules in his right shoulder, can barely swing a bat four years later Edwin Diaz does a jumpy bounce celly at the WBC - his knee cap falls off and the elasticity from his hamstring causes it to shoot upwards and enter his spleen; life altering injury If I managed a baseball team my players would be under strict rules to only celebrate by doing a hockey style handshake line.
  19. Laika
    I agree with Grant You make the throw if the baserunner makes a poor decision like that
  20. Laika
    blech difference is simply that a team like Mexico can go to a bunch of fringe MLB players for relief pitching and Canada has to roll the dice with geezers and babies
  21. Laika
    Albers is alright I guess. Crafty veteran lefty with some tricky stuff.
  22. Laika
    I guess because I don't own a share and he's 100% healthy this spring
  23. Laika
    Adrian Martinez MLB level pitcher but he has been destroyed in MLB and AAA since 2021 despite decent K-BB numbers f*** him up!
  24. Laika
    Most of them are pretty decent in this context. Much better than Toronto's second tier relief pitchers.
  25. Laika
    Might as well use Brash while it's close, for one. I'm thinking some of these unknowns like Cade Smith would for sure be better. He is 23 and had an insane K rate in AA.
