  1. Montgomery has posted a 1.2 WAR thus far. Tied for 6th highest in the MLB. He has a higher WAR currently than Shane McClanahan, Shohei Ohtani, and Framber Valdez.
  2. Trade for Arenado next offseason
  3. Blue Jays and most road teams stay at the Sheraton near the Prudential Centre. Will definitely see players around the lobby and at the bar after the games, which is cool. I stayed there in 2009.
  4. I'll take Vladdy as well. He'll hit one over the Green Monster!
  5. Joseph Gordon Levitt has a great feel for the game. I think he would make a great manager if he ever wanted to pursue a career in baseball.
  6. He does have high BB rates which will always hold him back from being in the same category as a Cole, Strider, Kershaw, Verlander, Scherzer etc. His xFIP last season was 3.50 and 4.02 career. He did have an amazing season in 2022, but I don't expect those numbers from him moving forward. Probably an ERA around 3.50-4ish every season with 200 + K's. He's more of a No. 2 starter than an ace. Definitely a very solid arm, though I don't consider Cease in the upper tier when it comes to SPs.
  7. I know it's early but a left-handed bat probably has to be at the top of the shopping list given the struggles of Belt. Doesn't have to be a superstar but someone who could DH and occasionally play in the field. Afterwards, they'll likely target bench/bullpen pieces as they always do. As long as their starting rotation stays healthy, I don't think they'll look at adding a starter, unless it's an elite arm. Plus in the Postseason, you only need 3-4 starters. But we'll see. Some LHB's who could be targets: - Joc Pederson - Gavin Sheets - Seth Brown - Jake Fraley - Charlie Blackmon (Rockies would have to eat some money) - Mike Moustakas - Corey Dickerson Should be plenty of LHBs available.
  8. Those are pretty good trades during their rebuilds. That's tough to pull off. A lot of their top position players haven't lived up to their full potential. Both Jimenez and Roberts have dealt with injuries on-and-off, Anderson has some flaws with low BB rates, Moncada injuries and inconsistency. Giolito and Cease have been solid, but they're not elite arms by any stretch. Kopech has been disappointing. They're definitely an odd and frustrating organization. You would think with that talent and payroll they should be the top team in the AL Central.

    Release the Kraken!
  10. Boston is one of my favourite cities and sports town to visit. You can't beat their seafood!
  11. Jays better start hitting more HR's or there won't be as many chicks at the Corona Rooftop Patio. Chicks dig the long ball.
  12. They're a mediocre team sure that likely will be .500 or a bit below when all is said and done, but they aren't as bad as the A's, Royals or Nats lol. Disappointing start to the series, especially the way the Jays lost the first two games.
  13. Yeah funny how a couple days ago, the bullpen was being praised as elite. Last three games, they've shown their true colours. It's still a solid BP if everyone is used properly and if the Jays starters go deep into games. It's not an elite pen though and there is definitely room for improvement. If that improvement doesn't come internally (Pearson + Green), will have to come via trade. Can't waste a good opportunity again this season. Again, the bullpen is solid. Doesn't need a complete overhaul as some other posters suggest, but could use another elite arm or so. Hope Pearson and Green could be pieces to the puzzle.
  14. Lmao, the worst team in the league is 17-14. I know you hate Boston, but stop overexaggerating haha.

    Should be a good series. Won't be as easy as some Leafs fans thought. Florida will definitely put up a fight and we saw that tonight.
  16. Can Kris Bryant still play third base? Wonder if the Rockies would eat a majority left on his contract.
  17. Chapman likely gets $200M given how weak the 3B market is. Semien's contract is a great comparable though.
  18. The Rockies organization is a clown show. Ryan McMahon at $11.7M is pretty darn good. If he could be a 3-4 WAR player, would be a great trade target during the offseason.
  19. He's favourite for AL ROY at 4.50 in Vegas. But yeah still a big gamble IMO.
  20. This was hilarious!
  21. Vladdy - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - Chapman - 1 Point - Varsho - 2 Points - Springer - 2 Points - Kirk - 3 Points - Jansen - 3 Points - Kiermaier - 4 Points - JaysBlue Merrifield - 5 Points - JaysAllMighty Off the bench: 10 Points -
  22. His tenure with the Angels has been a disaster. Hasn't even had a full season with them.
  23. Yeah don't see the Cardinals trading off everyone even if they underachieve this season, so definitely a huge long shot they move Arenado. Would take him off the list. Angels would have to eat majority of the contract. 3 years/$114M left on his contract after the 2023 season. He also has a full no trade clause, but could waive it likely if the Angels are terrible in 2024. Josh Rojas wouldn't be a bad option if Arizona is open to trading him. Nothing sexy, but he could be solid at the hot corner.
  24. Josh Rojas wouldn't be a bad trade option if Arizona would move him. Nothing special with the bat, but is left-handed and plays solid defense. So far has posted a 0.8 WAR this season. Might be able to get a 3 WAR season out of him.
