    Shapiro and Atkins (along with the SJW Canadian fanbase) have no balls whatsoever when it comes to this kind of stuff either. He'll probably get traded for pennies on the dollar now.

    Mods, turn the video code on. The board would be better if I could embed my videos.

    Yeah I agree- that's a great point about Pearson. If he's legit, Ryu holds steady, and then a couple other guys prove they are capable then it could turn around in a hurry. On the flipside, if Ryu and/or Pearson gets hurt and nobody really steps up it could be a disaster. Pretty big year in terms of seeing what we've got in the rotation and if it will allow us to contend in 2021.

    Our rotation kind of sucks tbh. Ryu and then a bunch of spaghetti thrown at the wall. Hopefully some of them stick.
  6. Terminator
    Yeah that might not be bad and it would be easier to plan for than trying to use him as a reliever.

    The overwhelming demand for being a major league starter eats into his value as a position player. Right off the bat he takes a hit because he's a DH and not an OF. Then factor in rest/injury time and I'm not sure that the juice is worth the squeeze. Would probably be worth more WAR as an OF only rather than a SP/DH. But if they do want to squeeze some value out of his pitching talent, I think being a RP might be the best way forward.
  8. Terminator
    They should just give up on the idea of him being anything close to resembling a starting pitcher and just make him a high leverage reliever. He could be a DH/OF/RP that pitches 50 innings and is used in high leverage spots as much as possible. So even though he doesn't get a ton of innings (which protects his arm and allows for more ABs), the limited innings are at least maximized because of the WPA.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-new-playoff-format-would-disincentivize-competition/ This article makes a pretty good argument against the format.

    Kind of warming up to the idea of the higher seeds choosing who they play too. You could auto reseed each team but if you do that you might as well just let the teams pick. After all, a rotation that is really top heavy is probably a better rotation in the postseason than a deep rotation which would be better for regular season. Or perhaps the top seed has 2 lefties in their playoff rotation and they get to choose who to play instead of automatically taking on the tougher matchup. Kind of fun and creates a lot of buzz for fans and sports talk type discussion too and MLB definitely needs more of that. Plus, this gives an advantage to the higher seeds who deserve it after a grueling 162 game schedule. I just don't like the current playoff format where winning 11 games in the postseason is too much of a crapshoot.

    Here's the actual playoff format: Then the higher seeded teams get to pick who they play among the lower seeded teams. There's a lot to process here lol. I don't necessarily mind the expansion of teams, I think something needs to be done about the thousands of pointless games being played in August and September of every year. I also like the first round being all home games in a best of 3 series for the higher seeded team. Those teams picking who they play is a bit weird though.

    Valera DFAd for Solis. I take back all the nice things I said about Valera until further notice.
  13. Terminator
    Yeah I remember him from when he debuted against his brother at age 30. Probably not very good but his numbers appear to be halfway decent. Plus there’s no shame in the side arm game!
  14. Terminator
    We also signed RP Brian Moran. His minor league numbers and projections aren't bad. Could be decent.
  15. Terminator
    100 percent agree. The leaf hat sucks but I bet they sell a lot of those. This is at least a better version of it.
  16. Terminator
    I guess I'd have to see the starter depth to know that for sure but that makes sense.

    Why do you think Maeda sucks so bad? He's been pretty solid as a mostly starter ever since he's been in the league. Close to 2.5 WAR a year. No way moving Graterol to the bullpen matches that.
  19. Terminator
    Looks like the Angels-Pederson trade has a starter going to the Angels and another prospect going to the Dodgers. The starter could be Stripling?
  20. Terminator
    Maeda for Graterol is interesting. I don't think it's that bad for the Twins. Maeda is a solid mid rotation starter and he's cheap. Surely that's worth a decent prospect? Seems like a floor for ceiling type of deal.
  21. Terminator
    After the Mike Fiers ass pic discussion I think we should defer to Boxy on this one.
  22. Terminator
    The flyball revolution has taken over MLB where the athletes are much stronger. Does he instruct younger hitters differently than he does a college or big league hitter? Seems like ground balls can be more effective in high school where the defenses aren't always fundamentally sound. If he does instruct younger hitters differently then at what point would he try to get them to hit more flyballs? There's a better way to word that question so feel free to tweak it but I think you know what I mean.
  23. Terminator
    Snitches get stitches. Alex Bregman definitely did this.
  24. Terminator
    Valera is good you guys are being haters. Always had good plate discipline and the Yanks fixed his swing to produce more power. Steamer doesn't hate him either and they aren't fully factoring in the skills change. He's Terminator's 2020 pick to click which means he's a lock to produce. Beating out slap hitters like Panik, Tejada and Espinal is going to be a piece of cake this spring.

    Thanks for all the advice the past couple weeks. I traded Blackmon for the O’Neil Cruz package and then traded for Harper. Harper’s price is nuts but at the same time the league rules make for a pretty boring auction draft devoid of talent. Got him to throw in enough money that I should be able to keep Harper through his age 30 season no problem.
