    Didn't even notice the Schwarber signing but yeah I would not have wanted to give him $80M
  2. Laika
    That's not necessarily true, Jim. It depends on the WS odds per season. How many WS have the Rays won since 2008 when they started being consistently "good"?
  3. Laika
    Yeah it looks great. Any criticisms about the position player construction are really just nitpicking. Like Grichuk could be upgraded, the 2B platoon could turn into a better guy, and I guess you could hope for an upgrade on Jansen (Moreno coming). The rotation 1-5 is super good. Depth seems alright; Stripling-Pearson-Hatch-Kay-Francis seem to be good enough. The bullpen is not amazing but is also not bad. I don't really know what to think of it. I kind of see it as Romano, then 4 or 5 serviceable guys. Fingers crossed Merryweather is good. Borucki is an expected zero from me.

    how about make the team so good that a Berrios elbow injury and Springer problem would NOT be enough to make the Jays also rans?
  5. Laika
    Yeah it has to have Moreno + other good pieces. If there is a way to do it without Moreno it probably is Groshans, Pearson, and Orelvis.
  6. Laika
    what was your full offer?
  7. Laika
    Yeah there is maybe a 10-20% chance that Kevin Smith would have blossomed into an very good position player in the next 3 years but that's about it.

    Springer - CF Bo - SS Vlad - 1B Teoscar - RF Kirk - DH Gurriel - LF Chapman - 3B Biggio/Espinal platoon - 2B Jansen - C Sometimes -- Grichuk to OF, Teoscar to DH, Kirk to C, Jansen to bench. Lineup is nuts now. Also, imagine if Moreno can come up and supplant Jansen. Or even play second base? And defense is solid. I guess the OF D could be better (but rotating Grichuk in a bit helps) and Bo is just average at SS. I suppose the obvious way to improve is to replace Grichuk with a decent LHB with CF chops. But that is a specific and hard upgrade to pull off.

    Great trade. Logue and Snead don't have much/any value. I guess Logue has a small amount as a controllable arm with a chance to start a bit. Smith is high risk. So is Hoglund. Both have value and could be good but odds are they will not be major contributors.

    he doesn't even have to get better for the trade to be solid he can hit 7th, strikeout 30% of the time, and still be a 100 wRC+, 3 WAR player
  11. Laika
    not sure if serious
  12. Laika
    If the universe is fair the cost for Chapman should be a bit less than the cost for Matt Olson.
  13. Laika
    I don't think I would mind trading Pearson+
  14. Laika
    Carlos Baerga is an aggressive reporter. Lots of swing and miss.
  15. Laika
    Prepare yourself for hating what is going the other way
  16. Laika
    Well, 2nd best. Arguably 3rd best.
  17. Laika
    Voit getting traded?
  18. Laika
    Whaaaaaaat
  19. Laika
    Nah

    Draft and hold best ball league Only sign up if you can make the draft or will do good prerankings. Currently scheduled for a weekend afternoon end of March. https://www.fantrax.com/newui/fantasy/joinLeague.go?leagueId=5vm65ewtl0q5fprw
  21. Laika
    They did that recently if memory serves
  22. Laika
    Yes. Last year.
  23. Laika
    I think Castillo is worse than Berrios and Gausman. Also a chance Manoah is better but who knows.
  24. Laika
    Yeah hard pass on Votto and Moose. I love Votto but have no interest in his contract
  25. Laika
    Yeah and sinker always works well with a slider. Interesting thing with Price - also no slider. Looks like he had one as a rookie/sophomore but turned it into his cutter.
