He has the 16th most wins since the 90s, 3rd most since the 2000s. Likely to be overtaken by Greinke and Kershaw.
-
...as opposed to them to them blowing chunks or getting injured at the college/prep level?
-
I think that was just aging lol. Yeah Vlad Sr. did not age particularly gracefully as he entered his mid 30s but he still had a pretty athletic build and never let himself go to the point of being out of shape, he just followed a pretty standard aging curve for a guy his size. I don't think he even looks as out of shape now at 45 than Vladdy has the last two seasons. -
Keepers (listing 6, if it's 5 for dispersal draft purposes then it'll be the ones in bold) LeBron James Paul George (still really wanna trade his annoying ass if there are takers) Jrue Holiday Zach Lavine Jusuf Nurkic CJ McCollum
-
Not really but if you do need the help then I'll do it.
-
So with the season starting on December 22nd, is setting the keeper deadline to Dec. 13 not a little too tight? We could always have short windows naturally, and maybe I'm overestimating how long the waiver draft will take.
-
This is such a Rockies trade. No one of note being moved or acquired, team not really attempting to fix any of their glaring holes.
-
Catchers are really hard to develop and probably is the position with the highest variance outside pitching. If you can sign a bonafide catcher star like Realmuto it opens the door for trading Jansen, Moreno, Kirk, etc. in a package for a large upgrade in a position of need (or in the case of SS, a bilateral upgrade at 3B by virtue of moving over one of Bo or Biggio there). Cleveland would sure love to get their hands on one of our young controllable catchers.
-
For what it's worth, if we're talking in the context of Giannis then it's an international player who has played in Milwaukee for the entirety of his NBA career. You have to think Toronto, Canada is less the boogeyman for international stars than it might be for American ones, especially if those stars are coming from small market cities.
-
I think from an optics perspective it makes sense to hang on to him at least until midway into next season, otherwise it's bad look for other Japanese IFAs the team might want to sign in the future. If it looks like they're the kind of org who will cut a guy in circumstances like the past season where Yamaguchi barely even pitched in then it doesn't make us a desirable destination for other guys like him.
-
Are you okay? The Raptors get laughed at and hung up on if that's the best offer they make.
-
For an ace with 3 years left on his contract, a potential 3-5 win upgrade at 3B and a formerly elite reliever who's probably an environment change away from being good again? How else do you think we'd be in play for a package like that, even with Bryant and Kimbrel's values being down?

General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
Orgfiller replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
December vs April though. -
I disagree but I don't have sources to back up my claim so I'm not going to argue on this. I feel like if this is the second time for Cano he was probably always using and has just happened to be caught twice, less so that he was dumb and took PEDs twice and they popped him both times.
-
I'd be willing to bet a significant percentage of the league is on some kind of PEDs. Most are probably just getting away with it.
-
Yeah of course lol, I was just pointing that out. Rare occurrence for a team where they're able to come out ahead on a mega deal contract.
-
The contract worked wonderfully for the Mariners. He gave them 20.7 WAR for 5/120 (roughly $6M per win) and then netted them a top 10 prospect +. Enviable position for any team to be able to get elite production for the first half of an ugly contract before it becomes an albatross and then not have to pay a single dime of that back end, let alone get a top prospect for the privilege of not doing so.
-
That K/BB in 2020 looks pretty mediocre. I looked at his NPB stats and they're nowhere near the good Japanese pitchers (Darvish, Tanaka, Maeda) and significantly worse still than some pretty bad Japanese MLB pitchers (Yamaguchi, Yusei Kikuchi). The best case scenario I can see from stats alone is Hisashi Iwakuma and the latter was still a good deal better in the NPB. I obviously also have no idea what I'm talking and could not know less about NPB run environments in recent years.

deGrom hasn't had long hair for quite a while now.

Marlins franchise GMs: Don Mattingly 2017-present Michael Hill 2008-2013, 2016 Dan Jennings 2013-2015 Larry Beinfest 2002-2007 Dave Dombrowski 1993-2001 I think she'll be fine with the not being a latino thing. Also "they must believe she is clearly the best person for the job" should really go without saying.
-
Keep in mind it wasn't just the Pujols signing that set the Angels back financially. Even if like BTS accurately points out there were some big red flags with Pujols entering free agency, he was still a first ballot HoF and one of the more recognizable names in the sport so some team was gonna pay him. They also took on the Vernon Wells contract in the midst of a dead cat bounce, and they gave huge contracts to Josh Hamilton and CJ Wilson, all of which either were albatrosses immediately or became so very quickly. Neither of those three players finished out their contracts playing for an MLB team. The Angels consistently have shot themselves in the foot past the Pujols signing.

*Looks over in Miguel Cabrera's direction*
-
Defensively? The only offensive number that's trended up is his K rate, he was 9th percentile in EV and 15th percentile in hard hit rate this season, I suppose that's some improvement over the 4th and 6th percentile marks the year before? Yay for trending up I guess.
-
You may have contracted Abom's disease. Nothing to worry about, but you'll always overvalue players immediately after they've had a significant injury.
-
You literally just provided a reason why African Americans might be underrepresented in baseball lol. Travel baseball is extremely expensive, especially for kids from a lower socioeconomic background - of which African Americans are disproportionately a part of.
