    Hands are complicated. Some tiny injuries might make playing unbearable while some might not.

    Yes, they did pass. I will decide on an appropriate time and way to make the changes. I just don't want it to be a free agent free-for-all at some random time. I'll probably do it right before the NPD in the spring.

    Apparently the "show minor league players" option was not selected automatically when the league renewed. Weird. It's on now so the player database is correct.

    - Blue Jays suck defensively - It's hard to imagine many of the current position players moving around - One of the more likely options is Bichette to 2B, Biggio to 3B, and a good defensive SS brought in - Simmonds, Semien, and Gregorius are all available but imperfect - Lindor is probably available and is amazing - It makes sense for Toronto to want Lindor - There are a bunch of reasons to not expect it and it would be risky/bold - It's probably a pipe dream... -... or is it!??? !!!

    weird. you don't see much first base TJS.

    Well, most of the WC series were close to coin flips but the A's always run pretty deep teams without big holes. They can't afford to have many non-contributors. Total WAR of all negative fWAR players on Oakland: -1.9 Toronto: -3.5 White Sox: -3.2 Astros: -3.4 Indians: -2.2 Rays: -2.1 Twins: -1.1 Yankees: -2.5 Red Sox: -6.9

    Yankees!

    Fine in theory but it probably takes a shocking overpay to get DJL or Turner to come to Toronto, over their current teams who have all the money in the world and should be trying to retain.

    Yeah the cost was less because of Price BUT there is a talent gap between Mookie and Lindor IMO. And Verdugo is good but I wouldn’t call him a stud. I don’t think Toronto would need to include Biggio, necessarily...
  12. Laika
    It seems like a large number of unowned minor league players aren't showing up in the database at the moment.
  13. Laika
    I dunno, it’s not like Mookie Betts cost a Kings ransom

    It probably does not hurt him that the Machado and Harper mega contracts did not turn into immediate nightmares, yeah. The 2021 free agent class isn't amazing at the top (Realmuto, Springer, Bauer...) but the 2022 class COULD be insane. I think for shortstops alone Francisco Lindor, Javier Baez, Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, and Trevor Story could all be FA!?
  15. Laika
    The trade and contract markets for Lindor were basically set by the Machado situation

    I am now playing this survivor pool under protest. Please scribble that in your notepad.

    There is actually a growing consensus in the saber community that modern measurements of catcher value are still missing out on an awful lot. Lots of great catchers are probably immensely undervalued by any current version of WAR.

    Rank. Player 1. Andy Pettitte 276.2 2. Tom Glavine 218.1 3. John Smoltz 209.0 4. Roger Clemens 199.0 5. Greg Maddux 198.0 6. Justin Verlander 187.2 7. Clayton Kershaw 166.1 8. Jon Lester 154.0 9. Whitey Ford 146.0 10. John Lackey144.0 The most amazing thing is that Mariano Rivera has 141 IP in the postseason and almost cracks the top 10 of all pitchers, all time. Kershaw has a great chance of being #1 in playoff K's though. Could even happen this year. Rank. Player 1. Justin Verlander 205 187.2 IP 2. John Smoltz 199 209.0 IP 3. Andy Pettitte 183 276.2 IP Clayton Kershaw 183 166.1 IP 5. Roger Clemens 173 199.0 IP 6. Mike Mussina 145 139.2 IP 7. Tom Glavine 143 218.1 IP 8. Max Scherzer 137 112.0 IP 9.

    Kershaw is approaching a full MLB season worth of postseason starts. Kind of nutty? He might be young enough to get to like #2 all time in the category.

    Woodruff v Kershaw is playoff baseball perfection so far Hopefully some day the Toronto Blue Jays have a real starting rotation

    Lmao

    I think in hindsight the only real mistake Buntoyo made was using AJ Cole in game 1. In a 3 game series you have to just empty the barrel in order of talent, if a game is very close. Nate Pearson was evidently ready and would have been throwing 101 in his recent mound work. It sucked to see him dominate in a blowout loss. What might have been if Pearson threw two shutdown innings after Ray left game 1... Today the White Sox took Dane Dunning out after two singles in the first inning because Matt Olson was up and they had Garrett Crochet in the pen. AJ Cole may have been used later on but no manager should lead with their ~5th best RP. It's the lesser version of Zach Britton watching Ubaldo Jimenez blow it.

    I will switch to the Padres today, if I still can.
