    You're both wrong. I think. Alford would have went unclaimed by the entire AL. • When a player is on waivers, other teams can submit a claim. If more than one team does, those in the same league as that player's team get first priority, starting with the club with the worst record on the day of the claim. Then, the priority moves to the other league, starting with the worst record. For example, if a National League team puts a player on waivers, the NL team with the worst record gets the first shot at him, and the last-place American League club would be right behind the top NL club.

    Still looks weeks away. Wearing a brace, labouring.

    Ross Atkins leaked that stuff so people like you would shill for the team against calling up their good prospects. smh

    Lynn has been a stud for a couple years. Very interested to see if the Rangers can get enough value for him
  5. Laika
    I am confused.

    that's their pre-2018 report

    sometimes loss of feeling in the fingers is a sign of elbow trouble.

    Panik is so much better than Drury. It’s not close!!!
  10. Laika
    It’s a changeup lefty though. Would probably eat Espinal alive

    Every other GM: Hi Ross, can I help you? Ross Atkins: No thanks - just looking.

    BOTH knees? Holy f***. That sucks for his career.

    Yeah 3B seems ugly. I'd probably trade for Seager. When you look at his career trends, 2018 and the first portion of 2019 kind of just look like a random blip. I dunno! BUT Shaw is weirding me out. He is surprisingly good at 3B per the metrics, despite visually not looking that athletic. He is also hitting the living piss out of the baseball right now despite the poor results and K rate. Like, 95th percentile in exit velo. wOBA = .262 xwOBA = .342 Seager's xwOBA is like .379 though and was .356 last year

    That's pretty much the definition of a negative value contract. If it's more expensive than the market rate for the wins the player will produce, it has negative value. Seager's team option for 2022 becomes a player's option if he is traded.

    Remember, the what he Mets paid for Stroman was unanimously considered ridiculously light. Don't trust any opinions that are fed to reporters.

    Knowing about it being able to execute against it are two different things. If there is a scouting opinion that he has trouble with a good FB, it's already out there. I mean if Keith Law is writing about it then other people think it too. But pumping a guy with plus fastballs up and in (or whatever the specific hole is) is easier said then done. Biggio is great at laying off things outside. He'll just take borderline fastballs all day and take his walks. It really is Biggio's one shortcoming though. He does not do damage on meatballs to the extent that most MLB hitters do. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/swing-take?playerId=624415

    I will be the Devil's (Keith Law's) advocate. I haven't looked at the numbers. "Hitting" MLB fastballs does not necessarily mean having a good wOBA against them. It falls miles short of an actual criticism of the player, but maybe Biggio's wOBA against fastballs as driven largely by patience or feasting on s***** sinkers. Okay, I will look up some stats. Biggio 2019 vs 4 seamers xBA .235 xwOBA .393 2019 vs sinkers xwOBA .412 2020 vs 4 seamers xwOBA .274 2020 vs sinkers xwOBA .504 Note that he is having a big problem with 4 seamers this season. In 2019 he didn't. He's seeing a bit more fastballs this year. Maybe he does have a 4 seam weakness that pitchers have not been able to exploit? We might see

    Who is selling any good, ~30 and under players? I need to push a few prospects together and upgrade a roster spot or two. I am loaded on the prospect front and willing to move many of them.
  20. Laika
    Spanky you don't have to post about current events. Toronto traded for Taijuan Walker, your boy. You should be excited.
  21. Laika
    preach
  22. Laika
    It could be an IL player like Yennsy Diaz or Hector Perez.
  23. Laika
    Yeah "top 30 prospect" does not mean they are good. It could really be anyone. A prospect around the 30 mark is basically interchangeable with the next 30 prospects.
