    He's not wrong, but I don't think Biggio will stop being valuable as a result. He either continues with his current approach which I think would still make him an above average hitter even with a deadened baseball, or he starts selling out for pull power a bit more at the expense of lower BABIP and a few more Ks.
  2. Orgfiller
    I would like a Trout offer. I actually think I have the pieces to get it done or at least to be competitive in a bidding.

    Seeing High-A Vancouver is gonna take a bit of time to internalize. That rotation could be a lot of fun to follow too, Kloff/Van Eyck/Palmer all have a shot to make some noise and put themselves into serious prospect consideration.
  4. Orgfiller
    Yeah if anything this is a huge win for us. None of our hitters are hitting wall scrapers aside from Biggio and he has other positive qualities. On the other hand shitbags like Tanner Roark and whatever the rest of our rotation currently is would benefit greatly from the meatballs that they're serving not travelling as far.

    Oh I'm not saying Ozuna isn't a lot better/valuable than Grichuk. Just not buying the 5 WAR thing. I'd say it's more likely Grichuk is a ~1.5-2 WAR player and Ozuna 3-3.5 than 1 vs 5 kind of thing.
  6. Orgfiller
    Strongly disagree tbh. I don't buy Ozuna as a JDM esque hitter after one excellent third of a season and previously peaking as a 5 WAR player exactly once 3 seasons prior and that was when teams viewed him as an actual outfielder which for some reason no longer appears to be the case.

    Zac Veen, Brandon Marsh, Brandon Nimmo, Brian Anderson, Bobby Dalbec, Mark Canha all available. Looking to upgrade on Nate Lowe at 1B, so he could be coming back your way in such a deal. Also looking to upgrade SP. Would prefer to move from the MLB side over the prospects since I already have a tough time finding starting opportunities for all of them.

    No? You're not signing Marwin Gonzalez to supplant one of your full-time players. Aside from the corresponding 40-man roster decision a Marwin signing should be independent of any other moves to acquire pitching.
  9. Orgfiller
    Marwin Gonzalez would be the perfect bench infielder to give us some depth at a number of positions.

    Is the prospects promotion cutoff the same as before? 500 PA for hitters and 50 pitcher events?
  11. Orgfiller
    You really gotta commend the job done by Rachel Luba. Her (and her team) and Bauer killed this free agency process.
  12. Orgfiller
    Tbh I don't feel bad at all for Mets fans. Good for them to have a rich owner that isn't the Wilpons I guess but they were on their "Uncle Steve" ******** all offseason so it's fun to see them get clowned on all the big FAs.

    Keep in mind for a lot of players it's not just the financial security, but the stability of knowing that this will be your home for the next 5+ years. If you're a family man, knowing that you don't have to move your kids around every 1-2 years has to be a strong consideration for these guys. The mercenary approach to free agency might be good for Bauer and free agency as a whole - as it sets a precedent for value on short term deals for good players - but I have to imagine it's not something most players would choose even knowing that they might get the highest AAV out of it as opposed to signing a long-term, 6-7+ year contract. It's why no-trade clauses exist in the first place and why the top tier players often demand them.
  14. Orgfiller
    I think his plan is that because he's not getting the big payday like he was expecting to get. No one was offering 5/150 or anything nearly as ridiculous so 1 year deals with some security it is while he proves that he's really an elite pitcher.
  15. Orgfiller
    If he got an ST invite the minor league deal is kind of implied if not downright assumed. You think the Jays management just told him "hey Francisco, feel free to come on down to Dunedin and hang out with the boys"? Of course he signed a minor league deal. He's a NRI to ST, there's literally no other contract he could have signed for this to be the case.
  16. Orgfiller
    You literally already talked about this lol.
  17. Orgfiller
    It's both most likely.
  18. Orgfiller
    I wouldn't read too much into Nightengale's tweet past the actual signing lol. He's the same guy that tweeted this (later deleted) [Nightengale] The #Whitesox $3 million signing of Carlos Rodon, their former closer, gives Tony La Russa tremendous options on days Liam Hendriks needs a rest while also limiting his innings He then tried to save face by tweeting this instead? He has no idea what he's talking about.
  19. Orgfiller
    Definitely. But why so consistently? How does he own a career BABIP of .274 over 400 IP, is he sacrificing a different animal every day before a game? Is it the same species every time?
  20. Orgfiller
    Colome is a pretty fascinating pitcher in that he's beat his DIPS his entire career - albeit in a smaller sample than necessary to stabilize since he's a reliever - and especially so the last two seasons, despite not inducing an extreme amount of groundballs (he's pretty much average at that), or an extreme amount of infield flies (an average pitcher like Borucki has induced more) and while he's had some success missing barrels for the most part, it's nothing special and his induced EV and hard hit % have consistently ranked between bad and awful.
  21. Orgfiller
    JDM was also a far better hitter with a much longer track of success for what it's worth. Ozuna has one excellent season in 2017 and one monster season in a shortened 2020. JDM was basically averaging Ozuna's best two seasons (offensively of course) the 4 seasons prior to signing his deal. I agree that I don't understand where Ozuna's DH only reputation came from, he was an average or better defender as late as 2019 by most metrics. I guess the eye test says he's awful because he looks goofy out there and has plays like this on his lowlight reel?

    Who? The child predator?

    I'm pretty sure Kirk will start in AAA regardless, I'd imagine the aim if we were actually interested would be to have him and Jansen split time. Of course, a trade of Jansen for a starter cannot be discounted in this scenario.
  24. Orgfiller
    Doolittle's fastball velo tanked last season. Yates was also the best reliever in baseball the season prior. We paid accordingly and so did the Reds. They are currently not in the same ballpark in terms of perceived value around the league.
  25. Orgfiller
    Doolittle is done. Yates may be done, but is much more likely to be good.
