    Relax, dorks Lots of offseason left

    Danny Jansen for Sal Frelick? Maybe?

    Beantown got 10 seasons of Bogaerts. His entire 20s. That's amazing. Fumbled Betts horribly though.

    it's not racist, his name is Santiago he can assimilate

    Steamer is pretty bullish on both Barger and Otto Lopez. 113 wRC+ and 102 wRC+ I dunno if either of them is a true shortstop but they probably at least provide 2B/3B/LF coverage. With Moreno... nice as hell to have three depth guys with those types of offensive projections on the strength of no or almost no major league data.

    Nah he's good. Viable backup SS who can start in a pinch. 4.5 WAR in 254 career games. These guys don't grow on trees. The A's just paid 32 year old Aledmys Diaz 2/$14M to be significantly worse. You keep Espinal until free agency, he's a glue guy that keeps your entire roster working right. And an amazing insurance policy on the infield. I mean, unless someone wants to overpay for him...

    His name is Santiago and it's Miami. A perfect match, really?

    Bo will want too much. He'll be confident to a possible fault and think he will be able to enter free agency looking like a superstar stud SS in a few years. Vlad might sign. Seems to genuinely like Toronto.

    pretty much, but they would not do that for most arms jesus sanchez might fit on Toronto's roster too i wonder what Sixto's medicals look like...
  10. Laika
    totally possible part of me thinks that teams just aren't going to go there for him, based on his profile
  11. Laika
    Semien is kind of WHY Bo is still at shortstop in a different sense. A bad shortstop my fancy stats until 2018, when he turned 27. So he's the model for shortstop improvement. Although Bo's 2022 was much worse than any of Semien's below average defensive seasons...
  12. Laika
    he's already terrible, by every measure the only things keeping him at SS are: 1) office politics 2) the ephemeral promise of youth

    Are you joking? They never take these cases to trial. Not unless there is like, video evidence or something.
  16. Laika
    Reports are that Boston was not even a top 5 bidder for Bogaerts

    What are you even talking about? All the DA says is that the evidence available would not support a conviction, so they aren't charging him. "we can't prove it" is not the same as "he didn't do it"

    Who knows, maybe he did run a train on her and the case was just too flimsy. We'll never know. Attorney Dan Gilleon, who represents the alleged victim, offered his take. "I'm not surprised," Gilleonsaid, per The Athletic. "The police rarely pay much attention to cases where the victim is intoxicated. Here, the police made it clear in January 2022 that they weren't interested in the case. They made that clear by ghosting my client and keeping her in the dark. It was only the media attention that caused the police to commence a dog and pony show long enough for them to say they conducted a thorough investigation."

    seems dumb but i dunno

    I don't see how KK would ever settle for 1/9 in this market. There are almost no proper CFers available out there. He has a lot of leverage.
  21. Laika
    I'm thinking with some inflation on the projected deals... Nimmo might be $22M AAV (over 5 years) Kiermaier could be $12M AAV for 2 or 3 years Conforto might be $15M for one year So I guess not THAT much higher in AAV Current depth chart: Gurriel 1.9 WAR Springer 4 WAR Merrifield 1.3 WAR Biggio and Lukes 0.6 WAR each Interestingly, Steamer doesn't really love your idea. Because it likes Gurriel as much as Conforto. Same projected WAR. Bringing in Kiermaier would help a bit, and help in some ways that Steamer does not appreciate.
  22. Laika
    I think this is a way better plan than Nimmo But the total AAV would be much higher

    Total $ Fangraphs Crowd Source projected for the top 23 FA signed so far: $1.495 billion Actual total $ for those players: $1.975 billion Biggest jumps from projected $$$: Bogaerts (+112M) Turner (+90M) deGrom (+65M) Judge (+60M) The only people under projections: Martin Perez (-19.35M) Tyler Anderson (-4.5M) Anthony Rizzo (-14M) Josh Bell (-6M) Joc Pederson (-350k) It's not just big players seeing inflated contracts though. In terms of % increase over projections, these are the top: Jansen (+166%) Abreu (+82%) Walker (+85%) Taillon (+89%) Haniger (+81%) Bogaerts (+66%) Nick Martinez (+63%) deGrom, Clevinger both around +50%

    The Aledmys Diaz deal made me think it’s finally at $10M
  25. Laika
    Nah he scouts very well Just too big of a jump straight to MLB for any team to think it’s worth it
