    I mean we also said this about Chris Sale and his funky arm motion + lanky frame and he eventually broke. They're all pitchers so the injury proneness is expected but given two equal pitchers you would think the one with the partially torn UCL is the riskier ticking time bomb.

    Toronto has a large Korean community.

    The Giants don't have a young core at all lol. Their best players are a 30 year old second year man and a post-post hype 30 year old starter who is once again a year away from free agency. Their farm has some intriguing prospects, most of which are teenagers or recently having lost that label and 2-3 years away. They're basically a year or two from beginning to clear some massive bad contracts and are in general completely loaded financially.

    Yajure and Canaan are decent prospects in their own respect. The former in particular has seen his stock rise with each year, he's described as a pitchability high floor low ceiling guy but the strikeouts have shown up in the minors while being age relevant as a prospect. I think the Pirates are quite content with the package they received for Taillon.

    Stanley Johnson is a legitimate rotation player now. Nick Nurse and the Raptors' development staff did it again. Also loving what I'm seeing from Yuta Watanabe on the defensive end.

    Taillon isn't the guy you give up multiple top 10 prospects for. Far too much of an injury risk even compared to the average starter.

    The frontload every contract crowd got their guy.

    6/120 is a non-offer, there were reports saying 5/115-125 wasn't getting it done and I'm sure most would prefer 5/125 over 6/150. It's pretty clear the Mets backed off on aggressively pursuing Springer, or they were kidding themselves if they thought he was taking a significant discount to play for them.

    I just don't see this upside. Seager is 33 years old and was basically equal to Gregorious this shortened season, was much better the year before when the latter was injured, and much worse two seasons ago when both played (roughly) full seasons. If anything I'd say Didi has the higher upside given that he's two years younger, is two seasons removed from a 4+ win season (consecutive ones at that), was at least as good of a player as Seager with the most recent data we have of them, and has significantly better positional flexibility - assuming it would be a lot easier for the SS to play 3B and 2B at a passable or better level than the career corner infielder.
  10. Orgfiller
    I don't really understand how you can be high on Seager but scoff at Gregorious despite the latter likely ending up costing less. Is it that Seager hits the ball a bit harder? They project to be basically the same player with minor differences in their hitting profile.

    His expected stats have always been like this, this is just who he is. He thrives on pulling the ball and putting it in the air often while basically never striking out. That works if your home ballpark is Yankee Stadium, Citizens Bank, and the Rogers Centre. It's not like his EV being low is a recent development, he's always hit like this. Sign me up for league average hitting with average to above defense at 3B and 2B with the ability to play at SS when necessary. We've had a black hole at one of our infield positions for the last two seasons, adding an "average" player like Didi is already a massive improvement, I'm certainly not scoffing at the 2.5 WAR that he projects at a reasonable price just because he's not a superstar. How exactly are you guys expecting us to address the infield situation?

    It's a Moneyball (the movie, not sure about the book) reference isn't it?

    Bauer and his agent are out to lunch if he thinks he can get a deal like that. I don't care how data driven he is and how he seems to believe he can pitch every other day, he's not Jacob deGrom. Bauer has no business getting a 5/170 deal after one elite season two years ago and one third of an elite season both in the worst divisions in baseball. I'd certainly welcome his addition to the rotation and I know it would take us overpaying to get it done but hard pass at those terms.
  15. Orgfiller
    What's so bad about what he wrote on Martin? Sounds like a pretty good prospect to me. It's fine to have a different opinion from the industry and present some skepticism for a guy, while I can't speak to "he did not look elite from an eyeball scouting perspective" which is dumn scouty talk he gave some potentially valid criticism of him while also praising his hitting ability. What doesn't make sense and contradicts this entire list is him listing a 60 FV, a 55 FV and 5 other 50 FV prospects along with Manoah on the cusp and claiming that this team will rank near the bottom of the farm rankings. Either his methodology for ranking farm systems is very flawed and he doesn't consider having a number of 50 FVs more valuable than a million 40 FVs or he's contradicting his own rankings of the 45+ and above tier prospects.

    What? Brantley isn't a pure DH, he's rated as above average by DRS and UZR the past two seasons. Signing Cruz gives us zero flexibility in shuffling Teoscar, Vladdy, Tellez, and any players with nagging injuries through DH.
  17. Orgfiller
    He sure wasn't talking about Pillar that way when he was on the team.
  18. Orgfiller
    Someone's "source" went rogue or were intentionally feeding misleading information. Safe to say they won't be a source for much longer.
  19. Orgfiller
    AJ Preller is gonna throw himself off a bridge if after the offseason they've had the Dodgers still get the best available pitcher.
  20. Orgfiller
    I think less important than conditioning the deal on the trade itself, i.e. the redundancy created by having Brantley along with Grichuk, Gurriel and Teoscar, is the 40-man roster situation. If they officially sign Brantley then they might be forced to make the move now whereas it becomes a lot easier to do this once a trade has happened.
  21. Orgfiller
    If a deal was in place they would just say "there is an agreement pending a physical". Looks like someone got bad info and they're the same source for all of these people.
  22. Orgfiller
    He got the yips at second and couldn't make routine throws to first. I'd be worried about putting him back there and ruining him but it's possible that's behind him and he can play a passable/below-average 2B/3B now.
  23. Orgfiller
    Three of those teams aren't pitcher rich at all.
  24. Orgfiller
    There's a Bradley in this year's FA class lol.
  25. Orgfiller
    Significant typo in the title had me worried for a second.
