  1. Dang, was hoping Lamet would slide to me. Shrewd use of a high waiver pick by KK
  2. Bolsinger vs. AJ Griffin is a classic 20 run matchup though
  3. It's amazing what can happen when a fringe POS player like Smoak and Goins gets everyday at bats. Don't you listen to Buck and Pat?
  4. I think it's something like 120 PA. At that point it is 50% stable, so you regress halfway to league average. I was looking at Smith's information earlier and couldn't see any obvious change that would lead to such a massive increase in SwStr%
  5. At least Smith has been as great as Howell has been awful. Free agent relievers! Smith is on track to have a season worth well in excess of $10M, while making $3M
  6. Pillar actually does seem a bit better. He might be an upgrade on Cutch.
  7. Sale has a clear 1 WAR lead on Kershaw right now. Insane. #2 leaderboard highlight has to be Ivan Nova with his 7.1% SwStr rate and 4.76 K/9. Five walks in ten starts!

    I think it matters a bit. 2009 and 2016 are pretty spread out; having the back-to-back would let anyone argue with a solid basis that Pittsburgh was a real Dynasty.

    Ottawa just had nothing left in the tank that period

    Ottawa isn't better than Nashville on paper, even with Johansen out.
  12. Jose Bautista to me Christin Stewart to dinger The reverse trade block is a proven success. Try it!
  13. If Granderson had a good UZR with a strong batted ball profile and a high walk rate right now, then fine. But he's 36, the batted ball profile sucks, his walk rate is a career low, his defense has been declining for years, he doesn't steal bases anymore. There's a reason his projection for the rest of the season is so bad. You're not smarter than Steamer. So no. Not kind of like that.
  14. This should be a lesson for you in what type of stats are important when predicting future performance.
  15. Liriano's peripherals and stuff were fine. There was no indication that he had declined. The fact that he was under control for 2017 was a large benefit and probably the primary purpose of the trade. It was simply an awful trade by Pittsburgh.
  16. Better trade target: Jarrod Dyson Dream trade target: Lorenzo Cain Biggest risk/reward trade target: Cutch
  17. It's pretty close though. A ton of money for probably 0.5 projected WAR.
  18. That's a hard sell. Granderson really has nothing in common with those three buy-low players. He's expensive, old, and bad. Those three were only one or two of those traits when acquired.
  19. Tulowitzki facts: he can't grow a full beard
  20. Hard to place much value on off-the-cuff blog blurbs. I would assume that the author has talked to people (scouts, org people) about Jansen but you never know.
  21. I don't know if there's a detailed scouting report out to the public. I've never read anything bad about his defense. I've also never read anything particularly glowing. He's probably average-ish. There doesn't seem to be any concern that he can't catch.
  22. Here is the best website for quickly checking all the farm box scores: http://mlbfarm.com/ You can even make a custom list of players and save the URL for the list. I use this to follow my dynasty league prospects daily.
