    Sounds like you guys love cheaters. Duly noted.

    Springer alone had more WAR than Stanton + Donaldson + Hicks in 2022 though Springer contract actually looks perfectly fine right now. It's going well despite his recurrent injuries.
  3. Laika
    I dunno, I thought it was more about dumping Gary Sanchez for IKF at the time anyway. The Yankees probably saw Donaldson as a mild upgrade at best over Urshela. Maybe projected slightly better but he is way older...

    You must understand... Patino's stuff is gone. Beeks/Chirinos/Romero suck. Rasmussen remains a 5 IP SP. Springs is a flash in the plan. Like Yarbrough in years past. League will adjust. Glasnow is a glass cannon. McClanahan is a glass cannon who had a troubling end to the season, health-wise.

    This is stupid. All latinos ARE mexicans. And Australians are basically tanned Canadians.

    The 2022 Braves had a good argument for being The Best Team in Baseball.

    Wright and Swanson are completely different players, they became stars. Strider and Harris II are also new and borderline superstars. They beefed up the pen too with two closers. They have a stud like Vaughn Grissom on the freaking bench. The teams are very different.

    just say this? that was his literally his point. Atlanta didn't even win 90 games in 2021. 11 other MLB teams won more games so they were fairly described as mediocre.

    Right but you can't really apply ifs and or buts to it. Harper and Vlad can both be the same dude - the elite hitter who looks like the best on the planet when he is hot. Toronto and Philly both have a few other really good bats around that guy. But Toronto's lineup is just so much deeper. Like, Toronto's 7th best hitter Danny Jansen is maybe better than Rhys Hoskins. At hitting.

    All season he looked like this against decent pitching. He's f***ing cooked offensively. Coooooooooooooooooooked. A guess hitter with middling power and some holes in his swing.
  11. Laika
    Hitting and Defense 100% Toronto and not close. SP are kind of close but Philly is better. Wheeler, Nola, Suarez, Falter, Gibson, Syndergaard, Eflin > Gausman, Manoah, Stripling, Berrios, White, Kikuchi ----> In a long series the 5th+ arms might matter. I also feel like Wheeler and Nola combined are slightly better than Gausman and Manoah RP I don't know how you pick. Two mediocre pens.

    Can you trade these guys? I guess Marte is the keeper especially if your team is not going to compete in 2023. But he is probably in the minors all 2023 so not a great keep.
  13. Laika
    Meh. You reap what you sow. I hope people talk about the Astros being cheaters for decades.

    $330M so he needs to give them something like 33 to 42 WAR to justify it. So far he has put up 14.9 in four seasons + this playoff performance which is worth a significant amount. 9 more seasons to produce 18 to 27 WAR. I kind of like his chances. Couple more elite years and then switch to some boring old man years of OBP + power with no defense, but graceful aging. The key is probably just avoiding major injuries.

    Sweet Now we cheer for the Phillies
  16. Laika
    what is the league depth?
  17. Laika
    I don’t see why the side losing Adames would do this
  18. Laika
    Batting, Baserunning, Fielding, Positional Adjustment Kirk 17.5, -7.1, 8.6, 0.2 Varsho 4.3, 3.4, 18.6, -2.3 That's 2022 only. Career numbers show a huge disparity. Kirk 20 batting runs, Varsho zero... Kirk 6 fielding Varsho 24... Kirk -9 baserunning Varsho +8. Varsho has more career than playing time though so you can’t compare them this way without adjusting that

    Sir…
  20. Laika
    Ohhhh yeah. Super weird to just impulsively change up your SS at this time of the year.
  21. Laika
    what do you mean? what situation?
  22. Laika
    I expected them to start Cole last night. Hmmm.
  23. Laika
    when, where?
  24. Laika
    Even if the budgets tend not to be spent during the waiver draft... do they tend to be spent during the season? Like FAAB for debuting players?
  25. Laika
    yeah Kirky's zone skills are elite elite elite and he has surprising pop in the bat he's like a fat Altuve i think he has some 25+ and maybe even 30+ HR seasons. the best may be yet to come with Kirk!!!!!
