  1. Life is pretty good for Royals fans these days. Extended their superstar World Series hero is still on the team 11 years later (just go with it) They actually try to win by making moves in FA and via trade They are basically doing what the Pirates should be doing.
  2. 89th percentile FB velocity and one of just 36 pitchers in MLB to have hit as high as 101 on the gun last year. If he shoves in ST they'll probably find a spot for him.
  3. Keller signing with an NL team is good. Pretty much every AL contender (including the Yanks, O's, and Red Sox) could have really used him.
  4. The player options add value for King, but that's mitigated a little bit since the deal is backloaded. If you just game it out it seems pretty fair for both sides. Year 1: 22 mil Year 2: 28 mil Year 3: 30 mil King opts out after Year 1: That means he's leaving 2 years and 58 million on the table. Which probably means the Padres just got a pretty good year out of Michael King for the same amount of money as the QO. King opts out after Year 2: That means he's leaving 30 mil for one year on the table. He probably had a good second year on what amounted to a 2 year/45 mil deal. Padres would probably take that too. King never opts out: you wonder how effective he was during the contract, but if they didn't give him the opt out, it probably would have taken a 4th year or more AAV per year which would have been even worse.
  5. Seems like the NL teams have been far busier this offseason which bodes well for us
  6. I hear ya. Jays have been more active than anyone but every move we make only satisfies me for about 3 days before I start clamoring for another one. But imagine being a Yankee fan right now though lol
  7. That's a nice deal for the Guardians. He's been pretty darn good the past 3 years since adding a sweeper.
  8. Yeah and especially for the guys who only get the occasional cup of coffee. The Jays gave out 70 full shares but by my rough count they only had around 60 players make appearances this year. They were plenty generous. Hopefully Buddy Kennedy got payments from both the Jays and Dodgers.
  9. Is the $354,118 amount in addition to some sort of postseason salary? Or is this the only amount they get? Seems a little light tbh. They played an extra 18 games, all of which were in packed stadiums with maximum TV ratings. I guess if they didn't share so much of it, the shares for the 26 guys actually playing the games would look a lot better.
  10. Laika posting on the message board during his work breaks
  11. Remember when people wanted to literally tar and feather Atkins after he non-tendered Romano
  12. Yep, the team is friggin' stacked so guys who deserve to start are in the bullpen and guys who deserve to be on an MLB team are in Buffalo.
  13. 5/150 is a little light. Whatever the 7 year equivalent is of that, sign me up. Something like 7/180?
  14. Spanky knows ball ☝️
  15. I think you can probably assume all of them will get better to some degree. But yeah teams probably aren't great at scouting it at this point. I suppose you could maybe look at what makes guys in MLB good at hitting high velo and analyzing if the Asian batter has similar traits which can help him succeed. Perhaps things like bat speed, swing length, swing loading, etc.?
  16. Yeah I remember reading about Kim (the recent Brave, not the other one) and his numbers against 93+ were comically bad. The Asian players simply don't see higher velo as much but they can adjust once they see it more often.
  17. Imagine this but it’s against Jizz Chisholm and the Yankees
  18. Theres still time but that’s a lot of “ifs”
  19. Ross Atkins has added 3 starting pitchers and 2 relievers before Cashman can even get out of his sleeping bag
  20. Rogers is better but he’s discriminated against because he’s a submariner.
