    You’re forgetting that the player has to be willing as well. Vlad should have been able to get in near perfect shape after 2 off seasons, but he hasn’t. Losing weight is honestly not that hard once a person figures out what works for them. But they have to want to

    Pudge was never round though, he was stocky and thick, but he was built like a short brick shithouse.

    Because when he throws sooooooo much s*** at the wall, something is bound to stick once in a while.
  4. John_Havok
    I didn’t notice any real difference in his body. I know both he and Vlad were working on that s*** and there was the announcement of how much Vlad had lost, but I’m skeptical as to the real numbers. Vlad and Kirk both got slower in relation to league average, not exactly indicative of significant weight loss.

    Probably yeah. Though i dont think Houston is looking for a 2 year stop-gap with Maldonado only signed through 2023. I bet they're out shopping for a guy they think can be their COTF after spending a year with Maldonado in some sort of 60/40 role. They'd be looking at Kirk or Moreno from the Jays. What they would be willing to part with is another question entirely.

    Some realy good marketing here:

    I dont think it would be shocking if they pulled the plug on Merryweather either.

    No brainer move but the Jays have picked up the option for Anthony Bass.
  9. John_Havok
    Yeah, as much as it wouldnt be the end of the word if Espinal was traded... he's exactly the kind of guy a contending team needs on the bench or even as the bottom half of a platoon. Glove is great all over the infield, bat is really good facing lefties and not embarrassing against righties. He'll be a positive win player and most importantly, he'll be cheap.

    Screw Mattingly, he wouldn't shave his sideburns when he worked at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. So selfish.
  11. John_Havok
    Wasnt any real extension talks to my knowledge, they had offered him a bit higher than the minimum and he rejected that, so he got the league minimum. It was he and Manoah I believe. Good thing they dont both play for AA or they'd both already be extended for a 3 million AAV until they're both 35.

    Put yourself in their catalog, then you'll get real results.
  13. John_Havok
    Have always hated that.
  14. John_Havok
    He is so far, the question is whether he will remain a FIP beater. Based on publicly available metrics my guess would be yes.
  15. John_Havok
    450 feet, 112.5 mph. Crushed

    Alvarado gonna have nightmares about Alvarez for the next few years.
  17. John_Havok
    Then boom…3-1
  18. John_Havok
    As opposed to immediate help... later?

    Nah, it's not a "fight or don't fight" thing, it's the standing there and watch with "i dont care" attitude while everyone else jumps in to make sure you dont get hurt after he was the one who went after Konecny in the first place to start the entire thing. If a guy is going to skate after a guy, crosscheck him good up high, and give him a few stick jabs and then just smile and watch while other guys jump in and not even try to intercept 2 other Flyers who were trying to get in on his teammates... that's the problem. If you start the problem, ya gotta at least grab someone and skate them away from the pile. What he did is tell his team that he has no problem with stick work until it comes time to get physical, then he's going to back down and let someone else possibly get hurt for him. It's not a good look for a supposed team leader.

    I was watching the end of this game last night and couldnt even think of the words to describe how bad this was from Matthews. It sends all the wrong signals about what he is as a player. Can he score? Yep. But there's no hockey "soul' present.
  21. John_Havok
    Except Verlander apparently sucks in the World Series because ... reasons. Also, forgot to type in the "depth doesnt matter unless there's injuries" part.
  22. John_Havok
    Depth doesnt really matter in the post season with all the off days... that's why there's so many upsets. The top 3 arms for the wildcard teams are pretty comparable to the top 3 of any first place team.
  23. John_Havok
    Nope. From Their GM last off-season... "Essentially, it's a contract offer of $18.4 million for one (year)," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday at the GM meetings in Southern California. "And we made the assessment based on everything we know, which includes our needs and our other targets, that that wasn't an offer we were comfortable making at this time."
  24. John_Havok
    They can still be offered a QO by their team unles they've received a QO in the past or were traded during the season. I think Rodon and Verlander have both had QO's before so.. the Mets can still offer DeGrom a QO when he opts out, which he will surely reject. QO for this upcoming season is 19.65 million Edit: Just checked, Rodon has not received the QO before, so he will likely get one too.
  25. John_Havok
    DeGrom and Rodon for sure - Verlander is a maybe Have no idea what they might get. both DeGrom and Rodon have injury concerns that might limit their contract length, but both should get pretty nice AAVs
