    the tension wow is this april
  2. Laika
    Clay "don't call me Buttholez" Buchholz is dealing.... except not really. Weird things going on with the team offense so far this year. And the core is hitting just fine!
  3. Laika
    yea
  4. Laika
    Where would Carlos Gomez go if we redrafted this league? 300th?
  5. Laika
    I like the trade for both of you. I feel like which side I would take would depend on what side of the bed I woke up on. I just disagreed with Dinger saying that it doesn't make him much worse this year because I think it probably will. A) risk + delay + big payoff immediacy + 2016 push + life boating away from the SS Felix as fast as possible
  6. Laika
    Oh, I do. I think there will be a clear demarcation between Felix and Bum by season end, and Alex Gordon is the type of player that is pretty underrated in most fantasy leagues (even our OBP leagues, somewhat surprisingly).
  7. Laika
    +1 But this is Dinger finally making moves with his team age in mind. The trade looks like something I would do. Actually I probably would do it. Pollock is so good and it's all about core hitters. Losing Bumgarner also doesn't drop him out of the playoff picture or anything, and the h2h playoffs are entirely luck anyway. All you need to do is finish in the top 8 with a) a viable, full roster and the best possible core for next year!
  8. Laika
    Well, you did buy a low minors slap hitting Billy Hamilton type. I don't think the odds are great.
  9. Laika
    Would be interested in moving young stallion Sean Manaea for a solid roster upgrade, if anybody fancies him.
  10. Laika
    Absolutely. 9 BB and 3 K's is bonkers in 9 games. He also went 2/4 so that OPS is up near .800 now. Probably well over the league average. I think the Eastern League is pretty tough to hit in too, and he's one of the youngest guys in AA.

    Aaron Sanchez hasn't gotten a lot of swinging strikes the last two games. He doesn't have a history of getting swinging strikes. To explain away a lack of swinging strikes as some correctable combination of pitch usage + the other team's game plan is just confirmation bias, probably.
  12. Laika
    Option A: Pompey LF, Saunders DH, EE 1B. Option B: Saunders LF, EE DH, Smoakabello 1B. What's better?
  13. Laika
    You have to be careful about connecting the dots like this with such a small sample size. Putting a bunch of things together in a narrative like this isn't necessarily productive or constructive and it can actually be misleading.

    This is the DDL. We are 20 men that can handle their own nerd business.b

    Drew was basically twice the player Reddick is: http://www.fangraphs.com/graphsw.aspx?players=1152,3892
  16. Laika
    I think the K rate is a bit of an aberration right now and not supported by the underlying SwStr%
  17. Laika
    Actually, I rescind this. I don't see a big enough change in the underlying skills yet to warrant making significant alterations to my opinion.
  18. Laika
    Still an odd number of called strikes for Sanchez, and a weird lack of whiffs. Only 6 whiffs today. 7 the game prior. In game one he had like, 16 whiffs or something like that. I DUNNO WHAT TO THINK ABOUT AARON SANCHEZ AND IT BUGS ME
  19. Laika
    Good Brandon Webb filled up the zone and was a legitimate Ace. That's too lofty.
  20. Laika
    It's impossible to find perfect comps for a guy like Sanchez, lol. His tools are too extreme. Maybe at his max ceiling he gets less whiffs than Liriano but more groundballs. But the overall skill set is kind of the same. I mean Liriano has had entire seasons where he couldn't find the strike zone. Sanchez will never have plus command. Maybe prime Justin Masterson is a better comparison. He'll be his own unique guy though, whatever he becomes. But to be clear I still don't expect him to be a #2/3. I'd be happy with a guy that can last this entire season as any type of viable SP right now.
  21. Laika
    weight: 165 ISO: 320 f*** physics
  22. Laika
    An effectively wild #2/3, like a right handed Francisco Liriano, kind of.
  23. Laika
    yeah
  24. Laika
    I believe
  25. Laika
    Well the latent career TJS risk is like ~30% in the population. It's basically duck duck goose, and other things like workload and mechanics move the needle a little bit. For reference, there's one study that looked at a form of bad mechanics (early trunk rotation - just think of it as the arm being late) and found a significant impact but the % of TJS was 33% in the bad cohort and 23% in the clean cohort. Point is that everybody who hucks baseballs is at risk. The biggest risk factor is simply being a pitcher.
