    Miami acquired a 36 year old who hasn't played all season and gave him an extension on top of it along with Jae Crowder who honestly isn't that good. I'd rather stay put than give up anything to make the same additions.

    Dennis? He would fix exactly zero things for the Angels' present rotation woes lol.
  3. Orgfiller
    Now that's interesting. You gotta think it's someone like Gonsolin or Stripling going to the Angels.
  4. Orgfiller
    His acquisition cost was a top pitching prospect, so he wasn't exactly cheap to acquire. We're looking at SWR+ likely, which isn't worth it at all for us.

    And Maeda with his 175-134-125-153 IP seasons is that guy? And yes I understand the Dodgers dicking him around had something to do with that but matter of the fact is he still hasn't really put in the innings either.
  6. Orgfiller
    Yeah but Maeda wasn't even that great last season and he's 31 going on 32. Graterol is a potential (not likely) top of the rotation arm with huge stuff and pretty good minor league success while only 21. I don't think it would be shocking if he was more valuable than Maeda over the next 3 seasons. Maeda isn't the kind of guy that pushes you over the hump against the Yankees of the world, a Graterol who hits his 90th percentile outcome could actually be.
  7. Orgfiller
    The Twins must believe with like 95% certainty that Graterol is a reliever, because trading him 1 for 1 for Maeda seems f***ing awful on the surface, and has to be a clear market value loss for them.

    Don't feed the troll bro.

    Despite this telling me that their jumps are similar, I have a hard time believing it's simply throwing errors which accounts for the massive difference between Teoscar and a couple of excellent defenders around him like Grichuk and Aaron Jude (94th percentile). It's not like Grichuk is known for his arm. For instance Byron Buxton, who is among the premier defenders in the league (97th percentile) has a rather pedestrian jump, and Acuña just above him is a far worse defender despite having better jump metrics. Also, dear god Kiermaier. The man laps the field in every defensive category.
  10. Orgfiller
    For the record, OAA believes Randal Grichuk was elite (90th percentile) last year, well above average in both limited CF sample and his larger bulk in RF. He's never not been an excellent defender by their measurement.
  11. Orgfiller
    He wasn't. At best he was kind of bad, at worst he was horrible. UZR and DRS both think he was around average in LF, which was a big improvement from horrendous the year before, and really bad in CF. OAA on the other hand thinks Teoscar was bad in LF and surprisingly just below average in CF.
  12. Orgfiller
    Grant will be ecstatic to learn he's back with the organization.
  13. Orgfiller
    Yeah but Matt Olson is exceptional at baseball so I'm not sure this is an apt counterexample to bring up.
  14. Orgfiller
    For what it's worth, and not that it goes against your argument, but Moustakas did play a handful of games at 2B last season, and he rated about average by DRS, UZR, and slightly above by OAA. He's probably not as much of a butcher as some people are expecting him to be.
  15. Orgfiller
    I'm pretty sure the only side that argue FOR pitchers hitting is NL fans in their antiquated view that it actually adds something (positive) to the game. If the baseball subreddit is any indication (yes Reddit is a cesspool but there's a large community there) then there are a large number of fans that actually want to keep the DH to the AL only. Granted, I'm sure this is a change that people would forget and welcome a couple of years after it is implemented.
  16. Orgfiller
    He's young and highly rated so he has a lot of value to move for a top tier piece like Lindor, and he's kind of in a positional limbo. His best positions ostensibly are in the infield, where the Reds don't seem to view him as a SS, and superior players Eugenio Suarez and Mike Moustakas are now occupying 3B and 2B for the Reds. They also signed Akiyama, perhaps signalling that they also don't view him as a good enough fielder in CF (or they just like the former more), and they have a logjam on the corners of guys who can all hit but may likely not be good defenders.
  17. Orgfiller
    Also I own the Skaggs pick on the MiLB side. Traded Porcello for it.
  18. Orgfiller
    Once again. Abom has #65 and I have #4.
  19. Orgfiller
    I own Abom's #4 waiver and he owns my fourth rounder.

    I certainly wasn't expecting his first offensive explosion to come in the way of raining threes but I guess in today's NBA that shouldn't exactly be surprising from anyone.
  21. Orgfiller
    Holt is a backup utility player. He shouldn't be signed under the illusion that he's getting guaranteed PT. We're not signing him so he can platoon with anyone, he'll organically get playing time through injuries, rest days and late game substitutions. He's also not a heavy splits guy, given by his career 94 wRC+ against RHP and 91 against LHP.
  22. Orgfiller
    I have no idea what Spanky was doing. Must have been trying to replicate that draft room thing that he was talking about before.
  23. Orgfiller
    My guess is it would have to do when his best/worst seasons with respect to RA-9/FIP came from relative to league average? For instance in 98-99, at the height of the steroid era, he had a 3.25 ERA in '98 and a 3.54 ERA in '99, with FIPs of 2.77 and 4.07 respectively. That averages out to a 3.42 FIP for those two seasons, and a 3.40 ERA (presumedly slightly higher RA), yet the RA9-WAR is 12.3 and the fWAR is 11.6. You have enough of those tiny differences between enough seasons and since WAR isn't exact to the decimal place, you end up with a career fWAR of 79.8 and 81.0 RA9-WAR. Edit: for further reference, league average ERA/FIP was 4.43 in 1998 and 4.71 in 1999.
  24. Orgfiller
    And then there's Andruw Jones who was probably better on both sides than Vizquel.
  25. Orgfiller
    I was going to say the same thing. Boo hoo Jeter wasn't unanimous, f*** him he's not even the best shortstop to play for the Yankees in the last 20 years. Two of the greatest players the sport has ever seen are barely scraping 60%.
