    I had to read that 4 times to understand what he was talking about. At first I thought he was simply talking about trades. Well no s*** you have to add and subtract when trading. But he's talking about if we make an addition by signing someone of significance then we will have to make a subtraction by trading someone else.

    Yeah one day of Spring Training and I'm already tempted to start chugging the Kool-Aid. If Manoah can put up a big season, the entire staff falls into place and can handle an injury or two with ease. If he sucks again we have to quickly pivot to Plan B and the depth looks shaky.

    Maybe in powerlifting that works but this is baseball which relies on the functional strength necessary to perform baseball moves. This includes a lot of various factors like proper mechanics, flexibility, general athleticism, etc. Gaining 40+ pounds is going to affect all of that stuff negatively. Also, let's not pretend like Manoah lost so much weight that he's now skinny. The dude is still very chunky. Probably even considered obese on the BMI scale. He's just not shockingly fat anymore. And finally, we saw what the all-powerful fat f*** version of Manoah could do and it was abysmal. He might as well try a season while having shed significant weight.

    Loving the mod edit on this one lol

    This one sucks too.

    They all suck. If I had to pick one I do think Colorado's might be okay. But it really is kind of shocking that they couldn't do better than this.

    Here are this year's FA signings so far. Taken from Reddit: I'm just eyeballing this but it looks like we've spent the 2nd most amount of money in the AL after the Royals lol.

    These jerseys are going to suck. I guarantee it.

    Both the Giants and Cubs have 3B trade options. So if they sign Chapman something could shake loose there. The Giants have JD Davis and Wilmer Flores. The Cubs have Miles Mastrobuoni who bats left and projects for 96 wRC+. He seems like a decent defender at 3B. He and Kinder-Falafel could form the most uninspiring and mediocre 3 WAR platoon in baseball history.

    Steamer adjusted IKF's projections recently, likely due to him playing mostly 3B this year instead of mostly corner OF last year. His WAR went up to 1.1 in 112 games played and his Steamer600 is 1.4 now. I believe it was 0.8 and 1.1 last time I checked. Jays are going to squeeze 2+ WAR out of this *******. Watch.

    Shulman's son is going to be the radio PBP guy. Chris Leroux will do color commentary. Doesn't seem like they will be traveling for road games.

    Assuming Soler would have signed with the Jays for 3 years and 42 mil I probably would have talked myself into it. But if we had the choice between Turner and Soler, I'd probably lean Turner at his price. Turner can play 1B and can stand at 3B and 2B. The one year deal is nice. His consistency is excellent. He's old though. Soler has huge power potential but he has less defensive utility and he's been very hit or miss. That hit or miss seems like an increasing risk as he enters his mid 30s. Fans tend to be more optimistic with their projections so the thought of plugging Soler in and getting 3 years of 35+ homers is tantalizing. But the reality is that he probably doesn't come anywhere close to that. I also hate the idea of locking up this amount of money/years into a DH when good ones are available every year for 10 mil. Some years we may not even need a DH at which point that 14 mil could be spent elsewhere on a position of need.

    I'm thinking maybe he can be JP Crawford prior to his power outbreak.
  17. Terminator
    The casual fans would love it I'm sure. And then in Year 3 of a 6 or 7 year deal when he's an albatross and his contract has stopped us from making any moves that offseason they'll have diminished excitement and lowered confidence again.

    110 exit velo on Jimenez is very encouraging. Always thought this guy was slap hitter with a good glove but he's progressing very well as he moves through the ranks. Everything I read on Kendry Rojas suggests that he's developing very well and has a chance to be a pretty good starter if it continues. Jace Bohrofen could be something. He was BA's #48 high school draft prospect and chose college. He didn't really play much until his junior year when he finally started and he raked. Law suggests that he's a legit CF. I thought he was more of a corner guy but that could raise his profile as well.
  19. Terminator
    Lol oof

    Seems like a decent chance he gets through waivers. Just glancing at garbage teams like the A's and he's probably not even an improvement over what they have. Or look at a team like the Marlins who are on the lookout for infielders and they have about a dozen guys just as good as Lopez.
  21. Terminator
    Yep, if the juice ain't worth the squeeze for teams when he's 33, it ain't going to be worth it when he's 34 either. Unless somehow a team feels that a passage of time somehow makes him more palatable. But it's not looking good. He's probably cooked.
  22. Terminator
    Yeah there were times last year where it seemed so obvious to let Francis start games but they just never really let him. They went with fat Manoah, Richards, etc. instead of using Francis.
  23. Terminator
    So Tiedemann makes 10 and then Chad Dallas would be on there somewhere, though he's not on the 40 man yet. Parsons is definitely barely hanging on to his roster spot. The glut of infielders and not having options made Otto Lopez next man up to get the boot but Parsons isn't far behind. Parsons actually projects to be somewhat serviceable though and might be worth hanging on to through ST if they can. It would take a ton of injuries for him to break camp with the team, but let's say we get 2-3 injuries in the spring then Parsons is suddenly in AAA as the #7 or 8 SP and next up as the long man, or something like that.

    Wow here I am minding my own business only to find myself the victim of a vicious xenophobic attack™. But yeah you're right about baseball holding itself on a pedestal. It's so stupid though and it's also a little selective. Some players seem to get away with things, others don't. This makes plenty of sense to me. It seems like a pretty desperate move.
  25. Terminator
    Yeah this happens every year. Casual fans will scream "WTH is Boras doing???" And then his clients make bank every single time.
