  1. Gabriel Moreno Josh Winckowski Riley Adams Kevin Smith Otto Lopez Chavez Young Ty Tice Samad Taylor Ryan Noda Logan Warmoth This ^ would probably be my protection priority. They can maybe leave Young and Lopez exposed and not lose them. Agree Tice gets left exposed and is selected. I think they absolutely trade one or two catchers this offseason. Probably two of McGuire, Adams, Moreno.
  2. Physicals often are not a binary pass/fail thing. Most of these guys have funky s*** going on in their arms. Paxton is going to be a huge injury risk no matter what, simply based on his history.

    Matt Murray, Signed: $6.25 million AAV, four years Ottawa has a lot of cap space to burn and Matt Murray has Cup-winning pedigree. He was an elite goalie in his first two seasons, but in the three years since has been anything but, looking closer to replacement level due to two very rough seasons in 2017 and 2019. With his most recent season being his worst, it seems nearly unfathomable that Murray could fetch this kind of AAV. He should bounce back this season toward a more respectable save percentage and there’s always a chance he can regain his prior form – he’s still relatively young – but the cap hit still seems rather outlandish.
  4. So a replacement level DDL player? 92 wRC+ Urshela rakes
  5. Pretty sure Andrelton Simmons opted out of 2020 rather than accept a trade to the Blue Jays so good luck there
  6. Guaranteed Glasnow is just opening. 1 or 2 innings, then Snell.
  7. Based on this, it seems like there is no action today. That will also mean no action until Monday. NLCS starts then, and that is set to be game 2 of the ALCS. Game 1 of the ALCS is on Sunday: Houston vs TBD. If thehurl wants, tonight and the Sunday game could be combined into one "day." Participants have to pick one winner from tonight's game or Sunday's Houston vs. TBD game. Just a thought.
  8. This is assuming Kim is good and Toronto wants him, but I don't think it creates a logjam. Kim - SS/3B Bo - SS/3B Groshans - 2B Biggio - RF Martin - CF The ability to cover injuries or make lineup changes would be insane. Bo can play 3B/2B/SS, Kim presumably can, Biggio can play 2B/3B/RF/LF/CF, Groshans can probably play a couple positions, Martin can likely cover like 5 positions... the team might be able to do some Rays-ish things like selling high on Teoscar before he gets very expensive. Maybe Teo is a DH that can play the OF. They could also just try to do a prospect swap with Groshans. Maybe for an arm like Daniel Lynch... someone like that.
  9. Groshans would have likely had a full year at A+ in 2020. I think they start him at A+ in 2021 but he will be promoted quickly. There's a chance they start him in New Hampshire though. I don't see any realistic chance at a 2021 debut but there is a chance for the second half in 2022 if he stays healthy and performs. Martin I would plop on the same timeline. If guys like Rutschman and Vaughn did not debut this year, don't expect to see Martin in 2021. If he lights it up in 2021 in the minors though, there could be pressure on the team to break camp with him in 2022.
  10. that's what they already did the off days let most teams get through the entire playoffs relying mostly on three SP, the only exception being maybe game 4 of a 7 game series. the format this year with no off days forces teams to use their 4th SP more often over the course of the playoffs and it forces teams to either use a 5th SP or bring back their top of the rotation arms on short rest. Ex., Snell and Cole will be on 3 days rest tonight in game 5. they only way they could play every day with travel would be getaway days but that's bad for TV ratings and i don't think travel with no off days would ever be union approved. just not happening.
  11. Gio Urshela continues to be available. A similar SP would do it. An elite reliever might?
  12. I don't think it's that Bo might be upset. It's more that this guy might not be a slam dunk SS. On a team like Toronto, which has Bo Bichette, if Kim has some defensive hiccups early he will probably be manning 3B in short order and his chance to stick at SS will be gone. On a team without other options he gets a long leash to settle in at SS.
  13. I dunno, 5-10% chance? - Fills a need (whether that's SS or 3B) - Can step in immediately and help push to contention - Likely won't take a massive investment - Will have upside above contract - Having Ryu here might really help land him On the other side, a bunch of other teams will probably be after him. If he wants a guaranteed starting SS position there might be a cleaner opportunity for him.
  14. Spanky it’s not my fault that you have the reading comprehension skills of a goldfish
  15. I was not referring to you with that line you bath mat
  16. Stfu Spanky.
  17. You could rightly call anybody trying to build a personal brand an attention seeker. Nothing wrong with that. It was just the whore part that causes recoil
  18. Trust me, nobody wants Gio. - a Gio owner
  19. 99% of the prostitutes in the history of our world have been women. Whore is a gendered insult most commonly levied at women. If I called your mom a whore she’d be very insulted. If I called your dad a whore he’d probably be confused. You’re a joke if you can’t grasp this.
  20. probably wasn't even burned by the tipping. hung that pitch terribly.
  21. Basically, this board now belongs to us kids and we WILL achieve social justice for hot women.
