The average baseball viewer is 53. The median baseball viewer is 55. That, not steroids, is the current baseball crisis. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/baseballs-trouble-with-the-youth-curve--and-what-that-means-for-the-game/2015/04/05/2da36dca-d7e8-11e4-8103-fa84725dbf9d_story.html?utm_term=.f0a13f735e00

I don't generally share Passan's opinions either but I do think his actual writing is well above the norm for baseball writers.
-
Yeah sorry to neg on you (and not for the first time). The possibility of pocketing Gonsalves would definitely have made me consider your offer a bit longer but in the end the difference between the pitchers would have won the day. I just pivoted off your post to complain about a minor pet peeve. If I was to single someone out, it definitely shouldn't be you.
-
Is the implication here that I should change my team name to Clap for deGrom?
-
Goins/Harrison wouldn't be so bad. It's a good configuration. A defense first guy for shortstop and someone with a bat for everything else. The frustrations with Goins were exacerbated by the fact that he and Barney had roughly the same skill set. For the rare times the Jays might need a second bench shortstop, Ngoepe would be a phone call away.
-
I don't think the sponsorship deal is that great of an angle. Yes it opens up Canadian deals but I would think it would also hurt his marketability south of the border.
-
A questionable strategy IMO. Not much point in leaving your best offer in your back pocket. It wouldn't have made a difference in this case but every time I read a "I would have offered" post, my reaction is always "so why didn't you?".
-
I don't find Arrieta to be a very attractive target right now and since NJH didn't even bother mentioning that he meant straight up for Eloy as opposed to for the whole package, it was a very easy pass.
-
He probably just means the tier Lester just exited.
-
The casuals don't follow the other teams enough to be swayed by a J.D. Martinez signing.
-
Eloy, Fisher and Gonsalves to Spanky for DeGrom.
-
An 18 year old Derek Jeter had just as bad a rookie season. As tempting as it is to dismiss Maitan, it's still way too early to tell though he definitely decreased his value and put more pressure on his bat.
-
And thankfully getting the fact straights about him is no longer a concern of mine. I keep thinking he's a 3B and everytime I look him up, I'm surprised he's a pitcher.
-
Ryon Helsley to Z3R0S for a third rounder.
-
Big trade coming
-
If you want to get in on this, make your last minute pitch immediately and I really do mean last minute.
-
Yeah the attachment to Tellez is ultimately a good sign. They clearly see a lot more in him than what he showed under difficult circumstances this season and they're not the ones who drafted him so it's not like that's a motivator in their attachment.
-
I'm not saying they convert him to relief right away. If he's not needed in the MLB bullpen, he can keep starting in the minors and see if he catches lightning in a bottle but I think he'll be in the MLB bullpen at some point and that will be that. I don't think he'll ever start at the MLB level.
-
I only saw it this morning. I think you're in the lead tbh but I want to take a moment to take it all in. I didn't get (or at least didn't see) any of my pm notifications for some reason.
-
Love the decision to protect Conner Greene. I think he has great upside as a reliever (I'm pretty much done with him as a starter).
-
When you put it that way, it does seems like a good role for BTS.
-
Z3R0S is already filling in for NJH. This would just make it official.
-
I'd like to package Eloy, Gonsalves and either Derek Fisher or an outfielder from my roster NOT named Mookie Betts or Trea Turner for a major starting pitcher.
-
Yes but the bulk of the retired people are in Saint-Petes, the area they are moving away from. Not saying that this is guaranteed to work but at least by moving to a much better park in a better location they are giving themselves a chance which they really didn't have before.
-
They also need a much better, more accessible location. The current location cuts them off from most of their potential market. There's a reason why all the other Tampa Bay teams are in Tampa and not in St. Petersburg.
