    Yeah I'd take Syndergaard for the right price but his stuff sucks now so I would definitely not pay a lot. And I would think of him as regular season innings + a reliever for the playoffs... not as a playoff SP unless absolutely necessary. The below numbers are stuff+ and command+ for four pitchers this year. I won't tell you the order but they are Greinke, Ryu, Syndergaard, and Chi Chi Gonzalez. lol. 89.9 --- 105.9 89.4 --- 106.9 89.8 --- 104.6 90 ----- 104.2

    I don't think it's a question of can they pay Teoscar. Just matter of whether or not they should...

    Looks like injury or injury prevention
  4. Laika
    Theoretically, sure, but we would be talking about a 1 to 5% chance to be that good and the 5% might be generous. Much more realistic - SP3 if he reaches his potential.

    I just disagree on Barnes. Love him. I'd sell high on Siakam though

    They must have had a specific CBA based reason or power for intervening in that instance.
  8. Laika
    Yeah a team could TRY but the PA would very strongly tell the player not to do it. A rogue player could still take it though
  9. Laika
    Is it a penalty for getting hurt or a bonus for staying healthy? It depends on the details. The actual cutoffs and dollar figures Not sure the mlbpa would be too perturbed if the guaranteed amount is high enough.
  10. Laika
    On what basis? We have seen playing time bonuses before
  11. Laika
    I wonder if they could do large bonuses based on IP or PA Then if he has to give up pitching because of injury at least a chunk of the contract wouldn't be paid

    Reasonably what would they have to give up though?

    He does need tips from Kirk, unironic. Kirk can drive that low away pitch even when it's a slider off the plate a bit
  16. Laika
    I do not remember him being bad against that location in past years. In my memory he would just shoot those pitches the other way for singles like Miggy...

    Vlad two years ago had a hole in his swing up and in. He was far and couldn't turn on it and he'd ground them like 80% of the time. Now he has a huge hole down and away and the league just pounds it continuously. He can't lay off that spot often enough and he doesn't make contact enough either. Hmmm

    Lmao Romo? Oh no
  19. Laika
    I don't think it's the type of thing I'd keep him in AAA to learn to be honest. These MLB teammates can teach him a lot more about accessing his pop.
  20. Laika
    I don't think those numbers have any meaning in this sample size. All you really care about in his MLB sample are scouting opinions or pitch level stats. His stuff+ and command+ are 99.7 and 106.5 That's not a great stuff+ number for a reliever. He does not have strikeout stuff. But the command figure is good... he might have more utility as a starter or long man than a reliever. We will see. I'd like to see the stuff+ number if he were to just throw one inning stints. But 105+ command+ is pretty good.... If he can maintain that he will be a good MLB pitcher. For reference here is Yimi this year 96.1 104.4 And there are lots of good MLB starters with stuff plus below 100 but good command plus numbers. Guys like Wade Miley

    thank you

    Kirk has 3.1 fWAR which is buoyed by 5.3 fielding runs and 0.8 positional adjustment runs. If he were a full time DH that fielding runs figure would disappear and the position adjustment would be like -6 or -7 depending on plate appearances. So you would be turning +6.1 on the defensive side of things to -6 That's the difference between a 3.1 fWAR player and a 1.9 fWAR player... You essentially take a guy with 8 WAR superstar upside and turn him into a 5 WAR upside guy. Like going from Posey to JD Martinez. It only makes sense to do that if the injury risks of playing the position are severe, or the playing time is much much less because of necessary rest. I mean it CAN make sense in some instances but that's a tough call.....
  23. Laika
    Yeah but he's a 96th percentile pitch framer... so he's more valuable when he's playing the field. It's kind of like Buster Posey. Although not the same of course.
  24. Laika
    Robertson + Ortega For whatever, some lesser prospects.
  25. Laika
    f*** Happ. Just get Rafael Ortega. Clear Tapia upgrade and should be a fine bench piece, would not cost much.
