    Well Toronto currently has a better run differential than both. I think they truly are a better team than Boston and New York. Certainly Boston. Might be close with New York if you are assuming some health for the Yankees.

    They are better than those teams

    I think that's just a mistake on Fangraphs. 2019 was rookie ball for him

    Prob not but a good lightning in a bottle candidate. The guy has good stuff and has been very good before

    The stalled development of their pitching prospects has been a bit painful. Anderson worked out and there is Fried, but a lot of corpses and question marks after them. Soroka, Davidson, Toussaint, Muller, Wilson, Wright, Newcomb, Ynoa... lots of failures to launch or stay healthy so far.

    Holy f***. Poor guy

    .426 BABIP with only a .155 ISO and one lonely dinger. 98% chance it's just a BABIP surge but I know his name now so he's accomplished something. disclaimer - I am wrong most of the time

    Minor league rule 5 pick so he's probably nothing. Fangraphs had him in the honourable mentions section of their Mets lists last two years. Espino is a contact-oriented shortstop who lacks bat control when he takes big hacks, and bat speed when he’s under control.

    You're likely not doing better for Votto. Alcantara is a legit lotto ticket.

    Teams would all have their own, in house versions of total value. I bet none of them are the same as fWAR, for pitchers.

    average K rate with low power = nothing special. most prospects with this combo will fail to hit MLB pitching. generational contact rate = special itself. the player may be able to hit MLB pitching well even with zero pop to speak of. elite power = special itself. most prospects will still fail, but you'll get the odd Joey Gallo who will hit just enough to be good. combine elite power with contact skills = Vlad. Madrigal is like, the universal opposite of Joey Gallo, I guess. Otto Lopez is just like dozens of other current minor leaguers, in various organizations. Everybody has a few scrappy little hitters. Gamers. Etc. Can hit a bit and play some D.

    Willians Astudillo

    Now do every other stat, including contact rate. There are a good number of high average, low power hitters in the minors. Only a select few have borderline generational contact ability like Madrigal.

    It's proprietary. If you subscribe to my newsletter for $50 USD / month I'll give you access to the Discord

    Luis Arraez might be the closest thing.

    Why is there this persistent fantasy where the Blue Jays can somehow get rid of Randal Grichuk? He could be swapped for a bad contract but that's about it. Nobody wants him. Gurriel is rapidly setting his trade value on fire as well. Sadly.

    Sellers: Orioles Tigers Twins Royals Mariners Rangers Marlins Pirates Diamondbacks Rockies Might be sellers: Angels Braves Phillies Nationals Reds Cardinals
  18. Laika
    Doesn't look like the Nats will sell. They are 3.5 games back and chasing the f***ing Mets. I wouldn't sell.

    I'm not sure Bo Bichette was quite in the untouchable category. Close to it, sure, but maybe more of the "it's hard to imagine a trade where we would give him up" category. I also can't realistically imagine them dealing Austin Martin, but I can kind of imagine it. What if say the Marlins offered like, a healthy Sixto Sanchez + Anthony Bender? Or something like that. Pick your favourite elite young pitcher and add one of his teams' best current MLB relief pitchers on top.
  21. Laika
    Martin for Scherzer and Schwarber would be a pretty bad trade. Two rentals making big money. Could get them with lesser prospects, if they end up being available. Or you could get more for Martin (several years of a younger front end pitcher, for example).
  22. Laika
    Twins are the target team. Rogers, Berrios, Maeda, maybe Pineda or Stashak. Cruz would make the lineup hilarious. It would be the best 1 to 6 in baseball history.
  23. Laika
    Yes, they all are
  24. Laika
    That's not a good look. I wouldn't buy that for $1
  25. Laika
    Maybe they mean 4th opinion this entire season.
