  1. Say it with me - Projections. Are. Useless. For. Prospects. Assuming everyone will be league average is probably a better system than whatever Steamer does.
  2. I really think you're right. Well, probably right. AJ Reed also never received big scout love... probably because he's fat. Yet people adore athletic first basemen like it matters at all that Ronald Guzman is thin or Cody Bellinger could maybe play CF if you asked nicely.
  3. I'm not seeing da numbas. .700 OPS doesn't excite Sure why not? He is an unprojectable freak of nature.
  4. Rowdy Tellez actually has a beautiful swing. I've been saying this for over a year. He's mechanically perfect. He has the elite angles, motions, and actions of a David Ortiz, or a Josh Donaldson...

    They had it all figured out. Good depth, two way hockey.... They looked like a team that studied the fancy possession stats and implemented them... but it turns out it was incidental. They probably ended up with a strong fancy stats team by targeting grit - by accident (and by being blessed with Patrice Bergeron, super elite elite C and the most underrated player in NHL history.)

    That was tough to watch. They basically dealt Lucic and Hamilton - two core players - for a handful of second round picks. I don't know how good Hamilton is or should have been in terms of fancy stats, but when Zdeno Chara is 38 years old flipping your only other possible first pairing defenseman for nothing hurts.
  7. Even better - umps wear a shock collar. The shock intensity is based on the total error in inches.
  8. Bell hasn't demonstrated big pop. Maybe he's Brandon Belt in a good outcome? Bellinger hasn't demonstrated basic slashline skills that are required for 1B. Maybe in a few years of tinkering he's Chris Carter? I wouldn't buy any of them unless it's a guy like Tellez or Rhys Hoskins if you can get him for next to nothing in fantasy. The next great MLB 1B will probably be some random failed 3B or OF or C prospect. Some f*** like Zack Collins or, dare I say, Christin Stewart. I'd still take AJ Reed over any of the hot 1B prospects right now. I think.
  9. Bellinger and Bell are also completely 'meh' and only seem sexy by default.
  10. I saw Bird cheat to get to a couple of fastballs in the 2015 AFL. That's cheating, not skill. Fringe prospect for me.
  11. You can just keep one of your previous cuts. no big deal

    There's definitely some type of major negative influence in the Bruins org. I don't think firing Chiarelli was bad though. The Seguin trade was just... the worst thing ever. And then the man did it again with Taylor Hall. Two fireable offenses
  13. It's a bad proposal by MLB but it's just the discussion stage so no harm in talking to the union and brainstorming about possible alterations.

    Boston is a bad organization and it sucks now
  15. Andrew Hutchinson? Why would you want him?
  16. It seems like Aaron Loup gets no respect. When he hits free agency and gets $15M it will be funny.
  17. Hard to run a lot when you don't get on base a lot. I wonder if Anderson will blossom into an Ian Desmond. I could see it.
  18. Let's outlaw anthems, God Bless America, and 95% of the pre-game ceremonies. Start games immediately at 7 on the nose. No fluff, just play baseball. And put a short timer on mound visits
  19. ... They can not test me or phase me The deals comin' in, they are crazy ... Designer on all of my friends They fake and I never pretend - He's getting offered bad extensions from Toronto. - Aaron Sanchez is fake and Marcus is mad because he didn't rep HDMH brand publicly?
  20. Floyd can't start anymore. He got hurt last year as a reliever!!! lmao @ placating to Biagini's desires.
