    yeah 3rd seems light, he was still a top 20 CF in our DDL settings with his 2022 stats. but I probably would not give up a top 20 draft pick for him. maybe a 2nd + a young player I was not in love with.
  2. Laika
    I traded a late 1st in 2024 + Tejay Antone + Carson Williams for Bellinger in the LOD. He should be worth even less than that (or nothing?) in a 20 team league of course.

    Sounds pretty good, Gallo gave Texas a lot of WAR. If you don't want to keep him then other team's probably don't care for him.

    Since when does Bellinger have elite CF D? It's perfectly cromulent. Nothing more, nothing less. I bet he's only a half step better than Springer out there.

    Barger, sounds like he has a better hit tool and more defensive value. Stronger arm and might be okay at short? Biggio obviously had a way better approach at the plate. Barger is an aggressive hitter. Barger has never been a base stealer so they probably have equivalent speed, but Biggio has such a high IQ I bet he's better at running the bases. They aren't similar at all, really! You might say Barger shares more qualities with Bo Bichette than Biggio. Left-handed poor man's Bo (take full scouting grades off the power and hit tool. Maybe more off the hit tool).

    are you okay?

    Benintendi is not the "cheap route". He also sucks.
  9. Laika
    Why do you think that's funny? Kiermaier has been better steadily for years. Everyone knows Bellinger was amazing once but that has almost no influence on his projections at this point.
  10. Laika
    Since 2020 KK - 96 wRC+, 5.1 fWAR (in only 770 PA), +13 UZR/150 CB - 78 wRC+, 2.1 fWAR (in more PA), 0 UZR/150 I mean if money is the same it's not even close. I'm not even sure Bellinger has more "realistic upside" at this point. Yeah he has more lotto-ticket upside but if KK stays healthy (big question) and does not decline he could post 3-4 fWAR. But if it's one year for CB vs multi-year deal for mid 30s Kiermaier then give me Bellinger, the lotto ticket hacker
  11. Laika
    The problem is that KK has a ton of leverage since there are no CF on the market. Even with his age and health problems he can probably wait a few months and milk a 3 year deal out of someone. Whereas Bellinger is looking for a one year pillow contract so it's in his best interest to just pick his team NOW so that his ideal spot doesn't get plugged by KK or Nimmo and he has to go to a different setting. Toronto needs to be decisive and act quickly.
  12. Laika
    Because absent a trade the CF alternatives are Kiermaier, who is just as flawed Nimmo, at an astronomical cost Springer, who might die out there
  13. Laika
    Yeah? Every team has this list
  14. Laika
    Yup They hated Chapman for most of the year Have never liked Biggio
  15. Laika
    Bellinger is going to want Toronto. It seems too obvious. Whether or not Toronto wants him is the question. Depends on what they think of his defense and his chances to help at all offensively. They’ll be weighing this against what they are being told Kiermaier wants, and whatever their trade discussions are so far.

    MoLester lmao
  17. Laika
    "twitter" meaning who?
  18. Laika
    poor man's Vlad! lol
  19. Laika
    fun trade fair trade
  20. Laika
    Yeah he could pull a Verlander Or his career could be all but over right now who knows
  21. Laika
    Not really a s*** job of developing… they just don’t draft them very often
  22. Laika
    Well this one is a clear win for you in dynasty I guess it’s an OBP thing but nobody seemed to want Tim Anderson. Scherzer should be better in 2023 though…
  23. Laika
    And Toronto isn't asking him to come in and close. He'll be a setup guy so it's not going to ALL be high leverage.
  24. Laika
    Yeah the splitter was new in 2021 and elite in 2022.
  25. Laika
    You guys are acting like "low leverage" MLB pitching is AAA. You're overadjusting Swanson's numbers. He has amazing extension btw so his effective velo is better than his sitting FB reading. He's got really good command of a good 4 seamer, a whiff pitch to nuke guys, and a decent third pitch. He is probably better than any non-Romano RP Toronto has...
