  1. Agreed. I think he'll end up in the $12-14M range, potentially even returning to the Dodgers. The upside he offers is high enough that even a non contender can sign him and flip him immediately at the deadline for a solid package if his first half numbers are in line with the Bellinger of old.
  2. Well neither does Edwin Rios. They'd be good bench bats/utility players with the ability to cover as a starter in case of injury at 3B or an OF corner.
  3. Will entertain offers on some of my catching options: JT Realmuto, Adley Rustchman, Shea Langeliers. Looking for SP, RP, and prospects (prospect should not be the headliner for JTR or Adley). Will entertain prospect for prospect swap for Langeliers.
  4. He's Joey Gallo but literally worse at everything and the power wasn't even above average, max exit velo of 107.9 mph, league average at AAA at 28 years old. Hard pass. Brian Anderson and Jeimer Candelario are two guys who got non tendered that are significantly better and offer either versatility or more upside in general.
  5. A top 10 MVP finish is minimum a 4+ WAR season, if you're already signing Bellinger to a discounted rate (at least $6M below his projected arb contract) then the team would take an elite season under $25M for a one year deal any time that's offered.
  6. Maybe they should have used him given how their other preferred arms - Munoz, Penn Murfee, Paul Sewald, Robbie Ray?? (lol) - performed in the postseason.
  7. Maybe he has the inside scoop on the bust pitching prospect from the Phillies/Rangers and knows a transition to position player is imminent. Unfortunately he's also a righty hitter, but maybe switching to LHH's batter box is what will save his grim MLB career.
  8. This was his first start back from the IL since like September 18.
  9. Went with Jerami Grant.
  10. Sorry everyone, I'm out camping until Tuesday and reception isn't the best. Went with Jacob Poeltl for my missed pick. Apologies, and I accept the reduced window penalty.
  11. Not to get involved in this, but the reason the Jays have a lot of guys with Sam Haggerty's skillset is they just simply have a significantly stronger group of position players, which speaks to their depth.
  12. I feel like if you look at risk profiles for a prospect, especially hitting wise, Vlad is so low on that chart. Which of these issues would you rather have on a seemingly prodigious hitting talent with one flaw: - Injury prone/a headcase (Fernando Tatis Jr.) - Too contact-oriented/swings a pool noodle (Wander Franco) - Crushes the ball, all the time, but far too often on the ground (Vlad Jr.)
  13. Not to mention, Vlad is 20 points higher by wRC+ than his first two seasons (where he was 20 and 21 lol) and his defense now is a lot better/much less negative than it used to be then. The projections see him as a ~150 wRC+ bat moving forward, and despite my own frustrations with him that seems quite attainable for a 23 year old with a career wRC+ of 133 through 500 MLB games. Like that's really all you need to mention, he's 23 years old with over 2000 PAs in the MLB and a career wRC+ of 133. Yes, the position and lack of value added on the bases hurts him, but just about every projection system would have his current track record as a generational hitting talent. And his one flaw is that he hits a lot of grounders? It almost seems like a joke that fixing/improving on that by a bit is all it takes for him to become great. Doesn't strike out much, walks enough (2021 levels would be even better) and has unteachable raw power and contact ability.
  14. Even crazier is in a scenario where this would happen you would assume Gimenez would just get most of the value from defense and baserunning, but he's actually quite ahead by wRC+ over JRam.
  15. Yeah, and my argument is, does he need to be? Everyone knows he's throwing sliders all the time and yet most of the time (this game notwithstanding) it's effective.
  16. He throws more sliders than he does fastballs...and it works. I feel like people complain too much about his slider usage, it's clearly effective.
  17. Cimber in general doesn't give up much hard contact at all, he rarely ever gives up homeruns.
  18. I mean come on, we can give props where it's due. He one handed that ball he was way out in front of 365 feet. He earned that after the bullet from the last AB.
  19. Whit cannot buy a hit, he's been making good contact lately with often not much to show for it.
  20. The BP has lowkey been pitching a lot this past week. Multiple bullpen games, Romano just went yesterday, Yimi Garcia has gone in B2B games, etc.
  21. I mean the fact the offspeed was a hanger and a half didn't help much either lol. A low changeup could've worked since Vlad possibly could have overadjusted to being behind twice on the fastball. Not necessarily bad gameplan, just brutal execution.
  22. Not a lot of balls are gonna be dropping in the outfield with Zimmer and Bradley out there.
  23. Who said this bullpen didn't have swing and miss?
