Ill bid MiLB 45 for Reed

I'm willing to move anybody for an overpay!

Lol that's incredible.

I agree, the Stroman hate is going waaay overboard. All of these guys have intrinsic factors that drive them, it just happens that Stroman displays them for everyone to see. This opens him up to a ton of criticism. I loved Hurl's post about Epstein and Baez, and by all accounts nobody on the team seems to have a problem with Stroman (except for his and Aaron's breakup, which seemed pretty petty anyway).

Thanks Spanky, but I PM'd NJH earlier.

FG unquestionably is the reason why my understanding is so much deeper than it was five years ago. I used to read all of their articles and chats, and probably gave the site 100+ hits per day between player profiles and articles. Now I literally find myself googling players names + fangraphs to check out who I want, and then leave the site. It's demise has been sad to watch. I guess when you have bills to pay and mouths to feed you do what you've gotta do, but I can't help but think there is some sort of middle ground where they stop pushing out watered down content for the sake of it and instead publish fewer articles with more meaning and substance. I for one know I would read more if I knew the content was going to be worthy of reading. They've become a stepping stone for a lot of guys, and have had a lot of turnover recently. There's no doubt its tough to keep the quality high when you keep losing your best employees but most companies face the same problems, so to me it's up to them to continue finding good writers and not guys who try and tell their audience that teams are dumb for not signing Yu Darvish for 50M more than every single front office was willing to sign.

I agree with Abom

I don't think there's any chance he's a 3B long term. Like basically zero. But he's more athletic than he appears and could likely make LF work and if he moves to 1B I think he could be average defensively. I don't think Vlad has to be used exclusively as a DH until he's in his mid 30's.

Yes without question it would be worth the coin if you want a hard copy.

I think Boxy could for sure BBBB

Boys Vlad is always gonna be thick AF. There's no way around it. What they will do from a conditioning standpoint is make sure he's strong and moving efficiently to minimize injury risk. I'd rather have him taking hacks than worrying about his aestethics.

Welcome home Johnny, welcome home.

Sorry buds doubt I move Lindor. Probably going to look at moving some pitching though. Have already had some inquiries and done some snooping around seeing what guys have.

They aren't going to make a statement claiming their offer would make him a Jay for the rest of his career and go out and offer him three years

TIL Wes Rogers stole SEVENTY bases last year

Sure, how does Puk for Senzel sound?

Flexible keepers or firm 20 and 12?

Sammy, your farm... woof

I didn't expect to be ushered in so quickly. Thanks for the warm welcomes via PM and in the thread. I feel like joining the DDL is the climax of my BJMB existence, and it's all down hill from here. I haven't even checked out my team, so I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! For reference, where did Sammy's team finish last year?

Damn I hope I don't come off as an old man. I'm still in my mid 20's

I want the job. My resume includes 50% of the BORED Championships and back to back BBDL playoff appearances after an awful dispersal draft.

Well their Sleeper and the Bust podcast will officially be s***. Paul is the absolute worst.

Sounds like a plan to me BTS

If it was Tulo's contract he was referencing it could maybe be passed as believable. But not the 2/26 or whatever owed to Morales. His contract is a nuisance but far from an albatross
