    IMO there are two ways to be an "Ace". 1 is to be able to produce truly elite seasons, 7 WAR+, and to stay moderately healthy so you do that from time to time. 2 is the workhorse model where the guy just banks like 4+ WAR every year consistently. I'm thinking David Price in his 20s. Berrios doesn't fit either model. He's like the workhorse version but just a hair shy on talent.

    Jonn = right
  3. Laika
    Maybe not Minor but Wheeler certainly is. Look at that guy's numbers right now. Hard to compare Ryu to Berrios because of the leagues they were in. Pitching a lot of innings is also part of being great and that's a weakness for Ryu.
  4. Laika
    Yeah probably.

    I'm not 100% sure Meadows is even better than O'Neill. Look at Tyler's xwOBA! Just try to dump a bunch of your Jays prospects for a real Ace

    Overhyped

    Stroman would not have even been under control for this season IIRC.
  8. Laika
    lol. Well depending on the league SWR might be worth close to nothing.

    Yeah it's a different market. The people who listened to Bob were traditional media consumers, not the type of people who listen to podcasts. There wasn't much overlap.

    No, I think at this point we have to want Rays to win. Those two teams are essentially tied and the Red Sox are more likely to like lose six in a row or something and fall back quickly

    If true, may have had more to do with attitude than the actual results

    Atkins always just says "run prevention" because he doesn't want to commit to acquiring specific things and wants to be open to bringing in starters, relievers, or defensive upgrades. I mean you can't deny that he upgraded their run prevention. Unless you think Chatwood > Soria?

    What, you meant for me to address your stupid scratch ticket metaphor? Lmao no. You've died on a lot of weird hills in your posting life but "The Rockies are actually right and good to not sell during the most seller favourable trade deadline in MLB history" might be the f***ing weirdest.

    Canario is a 45 FV prospect. Fangraphs said there were only 23 45 FV or better prospects in the 2021 draft. So yeah, Canario is better than a comp round pick. He's also not really struggling this year. He's treading water. The overall slashline is average but he's showing some power and speed without striking out at an egregious clip. And the Cubs for a second piece for Bryant. Caleb Kilian has really good numbers. The Rockies also have a dogshit draft record recently so it's not like the GM can lean on a great drafting and developing org. They are one of the worst. Almost all of their top few rounds picks in recent years suck or are just bit players.

    What he said is stupid. It's their logic, but a good glimpse at why they are the worst organization in baseball.
  16. Laika
    Story would project better ROS, easily. It's not like his peripherals are alarming. Probably just not motivated because he plays for a trash org. It's a given that some team was offering something for Story equal to what we saw move for these other veteran bats
  17. Laika
    Yeah but "they" are f***ing retarded and probably wrong. Even if all they were offered for Story was Alex Canario or Pete Crow Armstrong, that's better than a comp pick.
  18. Laika
    Who gives a s*** about Jonathan Davis? Guy earned his shot and has done nothing. I think it's over for him.
  19. Laika
    This does not interest me
  20. Laika
    Hard not to just fall in love with Espinal. So cute

    I don't watch college ball but the highlights of Barnes... He moves exactly like Anunoby.

    It's hard / impossible to prompt trading down one spot at that point in the draft without showing your hand and looking stupid. As soon as you call the other GM they know there is a decent chance you aren't thinking of taking the consensus guy. I bet you kind of just need to hope they contact you about trading up first

    Nick Johnson, but lack of longevity means we can't consider him as good as the others. What Votto is doing this year is so impressive. He has changed his approach at the plate significantly at 37 years old.
  24. Laika
    K play the sport now

    He replaced Joe Panik, so he actually will move the needle a bit. Dickerson could be surprisingly good. He's a really cool hitter. When healthy he has pop and very solid bat to ball skills, albeit a very aggressive approach. Young Corey Dickerson had a hitting profile very much like Bo Bichette's. That's not even an exaggeration.
