    Sounds like he fought a teammate? He'll probably end up in Florida and him and Duclair will fight to the death
  2. Still waiting on the full details here eh. There has to be more complexity to it than has been reported. I just cannot accept, until it is confirmed, that the Rockies are just throwing $50M away with Arenado.
  3. It's tough for any catcher, no matter how talented, to consistently put up impact fantasy numbers.
  4. There's something about wonderful defensive third basemen... I don't have data but they seem to age well. Maybe that's just my brain jumping to a few players like Beltre and Rolen
  5. He's just the only comparable. The other great Rockies hitters either didn't leave (Helton) or left when they were old or broken (Tulo).
  6. Only looks like a small step back if you look at stats that aren't park adjusted
  7. Yes. Holliday is the obvious one
  8. It's well documented that having Coors as your home field tanks your road numbers. Something about constantly adjusting to different pitch dynamics. I'm not worried about Arenado's offense at all.
  9. Salaries have not been very depressed this offseason and not depressed at all for top end talent. Look at Springer, Realmuto, Hendriks.
  10. If Arenado was a free agent this offseason isn't the starting point for him the Rendon deal???
  11. Baseball commentary is so frustrating. In what world is $4M extra (or whatever) "blowing everybody out of the water"???
  12. FWIW most of Springer's 2021 projections are better... that neutralizes some of the age difference
  13. The most complicated trade in baseball history?
  14. Vlad his very good projections, lmao
  15. Rockies = Dumb is the assumption but we need to wait for all the details. Maybe there are some real nice lottery ticket prospects in there, or an additional major league piece... I dunno.
  16. Okay so it makes more sense now. Rosenthal is saying Arenado would keep his opt out after 2021 and GAIN an opt out after 2022. The Rockies eating $50M probably only applies in some complicated way if he does not opt out... Or maybe some of it applies in 2021 regardless. We will see. That would justify the s***** return because STL likely only gets one year of Arenado.
  17. None of it makes sense. Either the cumulative reporting is in error OR the Rockies are just making an all time horrible deal. We will see tomorrow.
  18. Get German Marquez!!!!! Trade Groshans
  19. Jesus f***ing Christ... Did the Rockies get desperate? Did Arenado get desperate? I did not expect him to restructure his contract..
  20. Projections exist and they are smarter than you and I
  21. You can say whatever you want. It doesn't make it right. We care about how good the players will be going forward, not what their ERAs were last year
  22. Every team is going to be very worried about innings increases from 2020. At this point it seems like Toronto is planning on using a huge line of starters and moving people in and out of the pen/rotation (or up and down from AAA) all year. And doing lots of piggyback games. And skipping turns. Don't expect any 33 games started or 180+ IP guys
  23. Lol, no he wouldn't. He might even be their sixth best behind Ryu, Pearson, Stripling, Matz, and Ray. Really it would just be a five way tie for second best. Walker would just be another body in the pile.
  24. As far as I can tell, many teams are skeptical of his defense so the point that they don't think of him as an OF on any future contract. The talent comparison is JD Martinez of three years ago. That means the open NL DH question has severely chilled his market. There are also exactly zero competitive AL teams looking to land a big money DH/LF.
