    That's not hard to answer. Three of Saucedo, Murphy, Payamps, and Barnes will head out. I think the first three can be optioned so maybe Barnes survives. But odds are other people will get hurt in the interim

    Yeah I'm certain the damage is all knee and down. After the collision he is actually up on his knees briefly. If his femur was broken that wouldn't be possible. But with how he crushed his lower leg it could be a few things. Broken ankle and leg, maybe knee damage. You see this type of injury in hockey fairly often because the toe of the skate can pick into the ice and trap the leg under the body. You don't see this often in baseball but I think we've seen it on some poorly performed feet first slides. Stephen Drew?

    That could just be his pants.

    To the O's for Cole Sulser and Stevie Wilkerson

    The new, clean Gerrit Cole is getting his ass kicked by Boston today. Imagine if he instantly turns into a non Ace, on that contract.

    Traded

    That's a paid league option btw

    How did I make it personal? Plot team run differential vs team win loss for every team in baseball history and then tell me again that it's not a linear relationship. There is a difference between being nonlinear and being imperfect but linear, btw

    That's a completely different point. Nice try though. You googled the thing you said and found a Fangraphs article you thought said the same thing.
  11. Laika
    Might wanna check your sources on that, lol
  12. Laika
    Not necessarily true. Bad bullpens give up lots of runs and ruin a team's run diff The delta between win loss and Pythagorean win loss is mostly luck. It should be assumed to be completely luck, most of the time. I see what you're saying though. Some truth there, maybe, but it certainly would not explain the Blue Jays' delta IMO. Not even close.

    This is terrible logic. Run scoring rate vs run prevention rate across a large sample size means quite a bit. What happened in a couple of specific games means nothing - it's just noise.
  14. Laika
    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.
  15. Laika
    They are better than those teams
  16. Laika
    I think that's just a mistake on Fangraphs. 2019 was rookie ball for him
  17. Laika
    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
  21. Laika
    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.
  22. Laika
    You're likely not doing better for Votto. Alcantara is a legit lotto ticket.
  23. Laika
    Teams would all have their own, in house versions of total value. I bet none of them are the same as fWAR, for pitchers.
  24. Laika
    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.
