  1. Took Colin Sexton after Dinger's bro went with Bogdan squared.
  2. My god that's pathetic.
  3. I think they can land an ace without even bothering to consider putting Adell on the block. It's a mediocre system in that it lacks depth as you say but they definitely have some toolsy high upside guys to move along with some high floor stat scouty types which dumb fans like us can fawn over. It's a tragedy how much Trout's career is being wasted.
  4. Brandon Marsh? The Angels have plenty in their farm system to acquire Sonny Gray.
  5. This might be hard to believe but Trout is probably a better hitter than Miggy was. His career wRC+ is currently higher than Miguel Cabrera's prime (2003-2016) and higher than Albert Pujols' Cardinals career (2001-2011). Even Soto who is a generational hitting talent still has some ground to climb to match Trout's 20 year old rookie campaign wRC+ over a full season, although he might very well have done that in a full 2020 season.
  6. Trout is an inner circle great. Betts on the way to being a slam dunk Hall of Famer barring injury and Trout has nearly double his career WAR while only being one year older. He's just absurdly good. Speaking of all-time greats currently in the league, 22 year old Juan Soto projects to be the second best hitter and player in baseball lol.
  7. I was majorly despaired by the B2B OG and TJ Warren picks, but yeah I'm a big fan of Bertans. Guy gives no f***s about spacing and will bomb it away from anywhere on the court regardless of the defense and drain them.
  8. Differentiating lefty four seam fast balls from sinkers was a nightmare. They always have the worst angles too.
  9. Davis Bertans.
  10. The Jays have been reported to be interested in literally everyone available, I wouldn't read too much into it.
  11. You couldn't help yourself could you?
  12. Lol Maikel Franco is not boosting anyone's offense. He has a career wRC+ of 91 and projects to be as good at Travis Shaw was (and projects to be), who we just non-tendered.
  13. Bauer himself has claimed in the past that it's not possible to drastically improve your spin rate without using foreign substances. So he was actively "cheating" this season knowing that every other pitcher does it and gets away with it which is why his spin on all of his pitches improved so dramatically. Probably daring the league to do something about it if they really cared that much. I believe changing your arm motion to a short-arm like he has has more to do with having more consistent mechanics and possibly allowing you to add some more velocity.
  14. I think part of the reason that Realmuto is even more fun than a guy like Russell Martin is he's legitimately good at everything and not just elite in a couple of aspects - usually defense/framing being one - like most good catchers are. Since his debut Realmuto completely laps the catching field in value provided with his baserunning. Since 2015 he's provided 15.9 fangraphs BsR, the next closest is at 5.3, with the vast majority of catchers being negative (Martin included, young or old). He might be the best running starting caliber catcher EVER! The last catcher comp I can think of that matches him would be peak Jason Kendall.
  15. lol that's like saying Teoscar Hernandez breaking out as an offensive juggernaut (not saying he has) is boring because we've been there, done that with Bautista and Edwin. Sign me up for Martin-esque value/contract value from Realmuto any year.
  16. Lol this was good
  17. He was converted to a reliever last year and was working out with Driveline/other private independent instruction this season, apparently hitting high 90s. I imagine they held a workout with him and the stuff must have really impressed them. You can look through his twitter a bit and you'll see a ton of retweets of Driveline and other private development orgs.
  18. This is a stupid quote, but entirely in their defense is the fact that David Dahl is made of glass, is a pretty bad fielder and not a good enough hitter to make up for it. He literally projects to be below replacement level lol.
  19. Declining velo and for some reason his projections are brutal so the Reds' own projections must somewhat match with that.
  20. You can't get much out of 51 games of defensive data. His DRS over the past 4 seasons are -2, -14, -2 and -10. His UZR ranges from average to bad. His OAA was -2 this season fwiw (11th percentile), -8 the year before (4th percentile) and -4 the year prior (13th percentile). So he's maybe an average hitter with bad defense and whose baserunning has typically also been quite bad. He and Travis Shaw project to be about as valuable, do you want Travis Shaw as a stop gap for the players you mentioned? I also think you're vastly underestimating how close Groshans and Martin are to the majors. Maikel Franco is barely an average player, we can aim much higher while not breaking the bank.
  21. That's not how park factors work. Franco spent the majority of his career in a hitter's haven in CBP and was above average offensively twice, putting up a >.200 ISO once in his rookie year. He's also a bad defender at best, he absolutely will hurt you on D.
  22. Maikel Franco is Vlad without the upside or elite exit velos. Hard pass on him as anything more than ST invite with a chance to make the bench. He's not even platoonable lol.
  23. Jean Segura isn't really a shortstop anymore, or probably won't be going forward. If he's acquired it means Bo is staying at the position and Segura takes over 3B with infield versatility as part of his role ala Biggio. I don't think Segura is ostensibly a better defensive SS than Bo is, unless the public metrics are way off our internal evaluations.
  24. I'm not sure why they would need to move Nimmo if Springer was signed. Dom Smith and JD Davis are total disasters in the outfield and McNeil should realistically be playing 2B with the occasional corner OF start to give players a day off. Springer, Nimmo and Conforto can all coexist in one outfield, although neither of them are true CF anyway. The Mets are probably closely monitoring the DH situation in the NL so they can stop bleeding runs in LF and just plop one of those guys or Pete Alonso at DH.
