    I dunno. It might be a considerable drop off from Reese to Danny!

    Reese McGuire seems like a stud - like the type of catcher the Rays of old would start for 115 games a year if they had him.

    I'm not sure that it is inferior. The Fantrax app is kind of just a compressed version of the website, so you get basically the same display and features. The Yahoo app is an entirely different thing than the Yahoo website with different information and search options. The Yahoo app has a better mobile interface, sure.

    He tested positive for roids twice. The health company is probably a front! BALCO 2.0.

    Yexit is such a good term, that I have coined, that we might have to do this just so we can all say Yexit a bunch

    "While he's a shorter righthander Alan Farina has power stuff, including the system's best fastball, a 92-95 mph explosive four-seamer." What a time it was

    How could you not include Purcey and McGowan on this list?

    This would be a no-deal YEXIT so I am counting "I will not quit the league" as support for the time being.
  9. Laika
    2 supporters for YEXIT

    If the DDL moved to a free Fantrax league how many of you would HONESTLY quit? The main benefit would be - no more need for a spreadsheet. So much easier to track things, migrate seasons in Yahoo. Administrative burden would go way down. There are also advantages like DTD players being allowed on your IL. Main drawbacks - I don't think the app and website are as easy to use. Some of the more wrinkly owners might refuse to move. The depth of available players might create unforeseen issues? Thank this post if you would support the move. Retweet if you would quit.

    Aha. So it's not enough to win the trade. A GM must be so far ahead of his peers that he also wins every trade in context, and a GM must be so far ahead of his peers that he wins every trade emphatically. If Atkins can't win all of his trades EMPHATICALLY, IN CONTEXT, AND IN HINDSIGHT, then he might as well pick up his little balls and go home. Amirite?

    I don't think she has a regular contribution schedule. The Counselor just publishes certain legally slanted baseball articles whenever something relevant is in the news.

    I thought that at the time but it's hard to in hindsight, given how all three pitchers have performed since the trade.

    but those other names!

    It's already over as far as I can tell. First round knockout for your Toronto Blue Jays, with every single "industry consensus" fan cheering against them.

    Mets Twitter is so upset about the trade. It is very funny.

    BTS getting clowned by FTD and it's hard to see how he can win, but I guess there's a chance if he can flip all the pitching ratios and some other small miracle happens. silverdone? everyone is cheering for the senior citizen but he is in tough with his pitching strategy having betrayed him this week havok vs. dinger is the match of the week. havok has all the hitting cats clinched and dinger is winning all the pitching cats. this basically comes down to whether or not havok can flip ERA!

    Love to see long time Twist and Trouter Brandon Belt behind enemy lines, staying loyal

    Patrick Corbin and Yu Darvish got 6 year deals. Cole might realistically be able to get 8 years.
  22. Laika
    I guess you can see the future? neat
  23. Laika
    This is why high school righties tend to tumble, even when they have as much hype/talent as guys like Daniel Espino.
  24. Laika
    Manoah in 2021 is realistic. That's the Stroman timeline. SWR in 2021 is realistic if he continues this precocious trend. Pearson contributing in 2020 is realistic, of course. The context for Stroman/Osuna/Sanchez was very different. That was an older team pushing chips in. This current context is not the same. If they aren't signing decent SP talent to bridge 2020 to 2021, then they'll definitely have to do some Rays-ish things with openers and piggy-backers in order to put up enough competitively pitched innings to have any chance at stealing a WC spot.

    I like some of the names you listed. Cole Hamels might be a good target given his age. One year deal? I would be all over Rich Hill on a one year deal. Keuchel might be worth a gamble on a 2 or 3 year deal. Roark, Alex Wood, Kyle Gibson, Wade Miley are all interesting enough mid-level targets of varying talent levels. There are enough options that it would be unacceptable for them to only pursue guys like Nova, Cahill, Chacin, Buchholz.
