  1. Of course they would move him. He had a partial labrum tear this year! Scary commodity, and they have no lack of pitching depth.
  2. I'm pretty f***ing excited for the Shapiro era, you guys.

    Raps looked pretttttayyyyyy entertaining AND deep tonight. Just sayin'.
  4. Sure! Donaldson straight up?
  5. WAR from offense has nothing to do with position. Batting runs are relative to league average hitting talent. Defensive runs are relative to positional average defensive talent. That's how it works!
  6. Theoretically, someone switching from CF to LF doesn't actually lose any value because they should be more skilled at their new position, relative to average. Revere is now compared to plugs like Hanley Ramirez and Kyle Schwarber in UZR calculations.
  7. Projection systems are wonderful on the aggregate, but they can still be misguided on individual players. It's hard to reconcile Revere's current Steamer projection with the data we have visible on him. Just hard to understand. Be wary of someone who commonly has gripes with player projections, but also be wary of someone who never has complaints about player projections.
  8. AJ Reed is the guy who could be a big league mirage IMO
  9. Yeah Brinson looks like a potential monster. He carries immense value in a league like such as the LoD. Top five fantasy prospect?
  10. Pros: Should be able to stay at third base, strong arm and exceptionally good hands. Good idea of the strike zone. Smooth swing from the left side, but choppy from the right side and should consider not switch hitting. Could grow into plus power. Cons: Concerns about body and attitude - is in fact a large green reptile man who insist on wearing a tattered white lab coat all of the time. Irrational hatred for spiders.
  11. Just think about 2020 Vladdy Guerrero Jr hitting 40 bombs at the hot corner Rowdy Tellez ISO-ing above his weight at 1B (he'll weigh 250+ by then) Anthony Alford a few years into his McCutchen career path Max Pentecost the world's first one armed position player Richard Urena hitting .180 while backing up a geriatric Tulo Alex Anthopoulos being an area scout for the Rockies or whatever one can dream
  12. It's all semantics. I think he's just commenting on the fact that he would be sort of less of a full GM than before.
  13. mods r dum
  14. Just take the internship and then you'll probably be single. Problem solved
  15. They basically just hire an overqualified kid in the middle of a math/engineering degree, or fresh out of one, and then suck the love of baseball right out of him before he switches industries. Might actually be a decent job under SHAPIRO though!!!! I would apply but I'm too smart. Also, I don't even know what SQL stands for.
  16. The deadline to extend a QO hasn't happened yet. It is soon though.
  17. 8======D
  18. Rockies decline Morneau's option, so he's a free agent. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/rockies-decline-justin-morneau-option.html
  19. lol Tellez is masive, and slow af
  20. Grant77 would make a pretty good GM

  22. Yeah I agree. They already have Donaldson's best years under control. There shouldn't really be a huge push to get the tail end of his career under control too. Teams do this all the time with in-house stars and then regret it. They don't seem to realize that there might be a correct time to just say goodbye to a star player. Even if you do want to keep Donaldson until he gets arthritis, this is also the WORST possible time to buy in. He's about to win the f***ing MVP award! Just be patient and wait for a slightly better time to purchase six old years of JD
  23. If Alex wants to be the GM of a baseball team and run every single aspect of its baseball side from top to bottom.... well, I hear OOTP16 is pretty good.
