    New rule: The DL is unlimited. New rule: Adding any player with a red flag is illegal. These may be temporary for the Covid season only. I can't set red flag add restrictions in a free Fantrax league but if you get noticed doing it you have to donate $50 to BLM.

    Yes I'll make it the first week of September instead.

    It's 2020 and he's remarkably only 25 years old. I think he has one more health bar.

    The other day I learned that there are different flavours of Jelly King. The labels are so similar that you barely notice.

    Jacob DeGrom's fastball is averaging an obscene 98.6 mph this year, about 2 mph higher than 2019. His average FB velo is higher than almost every reliever with an 80 grade fastball. Airing it out in a short season? Freak of nature gets better? About the have his arm fall off?

    Lucky me that absolutely nobody wanted Gio Urshela this off-season. A stud monster

    Reason we haven’t done it is IL hoarding since we can’t block red flag adds without being a paid league. I mean we still could do it and just say no red flag adds but then I’d have to monitor adds even more

    Old good Norm or old bad Norm or less old good Norm? There are a lot of old norms at this point...

    They clearly should have done something like this. Idiocy to have teams travelling all over the country, in and out of every MLB city. I guess it is much more complicated in baseball though, compared to hockey or basketball, with the need for huge 60 man player pools, games every day, field quality demands.
  17. Laika
    They are making it up as they go and the plan was not wholesome. Ideally they would just be able to isolate players and contact trace, etc., and fill in rosters from the 60 man pool. That's the whole point of the 30 man rosters and 60 man pools. BUT failures in player discipline, testing accuracy, testing turnaround, and complications from local and state policies, have ruined the plans. Baseball's hope for how it all could or would work seems to have been too Utopian. NHL and NBA have taken more realistic approaches with their bubbles. MLB really should have bubbles in a few select places, possible with Toronto being one.

    Either I am wrong or the news is fake. The voters will decide.

    I don't think he lied either but it's pretty easy to decide that you don't want to go through a rebuild when the team priming for a rebuild has already indicated they don't want you around. I mean, if Toronto presents him with an extension do you really think he turns it down? Not a chance.

    I can't see the logic in sending him out right now. He has proven he can demolish the minor leagues and he needs to learn how to hit major league pitching the same way, so he needs to be up. Making him the DH would at least focus his attention entirely on hitting. In terms of a hypothetical demotion and service time - he had .157 in 2019 and would end 2020 at 1.157 if not demoted. The super 2 cutoff is something like 123 days, so in theory if they demoted him for a month (regular 162 season time) it might get him below the super 2 cutoff, which means he would go through arbitration the normal three years instead of the super 2 four years. I highly doubt this is even a consideration though. If he continues to struggle mightily and they decide to demote him for ~2 weeks this year it might keep him from being a super 2 player.

    Which is a micro-shame because he has like, 70th percentile sprint speed and a good arm. Fisher, Hernandez and Roman Laureano came up through the Astros system at the same time and were all similar "five tool" OF prospects. Laureano is a star now and Fisher and Hernandez have essentially the same flaws and the same projections.

    He wasn't literally fired but when a manager's contract is up and the team tells him they aren't giving him a new one it's not a far cry from being fired. Better for both parties if they say in that circumstance that they agreed to part ways. Team doesn't have to necessarily look like they are s***ing on a popular figure. Manager does not have to necessarily admit that they were not wanted.
  23. Laika
    The offense should correct itself though. Nobody would expect the core players to be below average hitters so regression is in order. Defense is not promising though.
  24. Laika
    Royals being very aggressive with their pitching prospects. Promoting Kris Bubic to start Friday and he has not pitched above A+. Brady Singer had his 2nd start today and he only had a partial season in AA. It seems like they don't want to completely waste what they have left in guys like Sal Perez and Merrifield. Brady Singer does not have impressive stuff. Looks like maybe 60 FB with a 50 or 60 SL and some decent control but no third pitch. Seems like an SP4 at best but I can't see him going through many lineups a 3rd time and the league might catch on to his repertoire quickly. Weird team.

    I think the ESPN debuts page shows it even if they did not play http://www.espn.com/mlb/debuts Not sure if box scores anywhere show phantom players but with twitter and stuff it's not hard to confirm active players
