  1. Also I own the Skaggs pick on the MiLB side. Traded Porcello for it.
  2. Once again. Abom has #65 and I have #4.
  3. I own Abom's #4 waiver and he owns my fourth rounder.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I have no idea what Spanky was doing. Must have been trying to replicate that draft room thing that he was talking about before.
  7. 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.
  8. And then there's Andruw Jones who was probably better on both sides than Vizquel.
  9. 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%.
  10. Does anyone want Paul George? I'm kind of sick of his s*** but he's an elite player and an easy keeper for anyone. Don't really know what I want so feel free to offer me anyone.
  11. Jansen seemingly spent last offseason turning himself into an elite defender, and we saw the dividends that paid off during the year. Now that he's working on improving upon his hitting (or at the very least getting back to his 2017-18 levels) he's going to be an absolute monster for us this upcoming season.
  12. Joe Panik isn't taking playing time away from anyone lmao. He's a minor league signing which means the team expects nothing out of him and somewhat improves our awful infield depth. Injuries exist and Biggio and Bichette aren't likely to both play 162 games, Joe Panik of all people isn't going to be the reason why one of them isn't playing.
  13. I'm glad this will take off the "Altuve is the greatest Astro" blasphemy that I saw some people around baseball social media spouting off and rightly go back to being the monster that was Jeff Bagwell.
  14. What Atkins said is good. SRF is only 24, he was good the season prior, and terrible in this one. Stretch him out, hope he rediscovers (or ideally improves) his 2018 control and is good depth in AAA. You can sign any random reliever that will provide as much value as SRF would give us next season, and if he's hopeless then like Atkins says you can easily make the transition to full-time reliever.
  15. Definitely an alternate set. It would be too early to do a whole redesign and people like the current uniforms.
  16. Injuries suck
  17. The Orioles are literally the AL East's dumpster. It's so great.
  18. Is there any functional difference between him getting his ~100-150 innings as a bulk guy as opposed to a regular starter? Like if we want Pearson to have an innings cap of 5 innings per start, shouldn't he be good enough to go in the first inning facing the top of a lineup? I don't mind the idea of an opener but for talented starters like himself I'd rather them begin the game and go for their predefined inning or pitch count limit if one exists. We expect him to be good enough to be a traditional starter going forward so why not put him into that role from the start.
  19. But they also have guys like Cionel Perez, Rogelio Armenteros, Tyler Ivey, Cristian Javier, Francis Martes who apparently still exists, Brandon Bielak, etc. All of them should at least be as good as Austin Pruitt. Is Cy Sneed really that much worse? Many of those guys can spot start, be converted to multi-inning relievers, be bulk guys paired with an opener, converted to traditional relievers, or just straight up traded for a better reliever than Pruitt.
  20. I don't really get where you're going with the second sentence but okay lol. It kinda just seems like you're describing essentially a replacement level reliever, which has very little value when most teams should have a couple of his ilk in the minors, especially the Astros who are loaded with superfluous non-elite pitching talent.
  21. Really? Mediocre K rate, non-elite walk rate, doesn't seemingly suppress homers or induce weak contact, has interesting spin rates on his curveball but nothing crazy on his fastball. He's also 30 already.
  22. The Astros traded two guys for Austin Pruitt whom the Rays probably would have given away for free and takes up a 40-man spot. Granted, I guess Stevenson and some random ninth rounder is basically for free. Really odd deal for them.
  23. The Astros had to ADD to Cal Stevenson to acquire Austin Pruitt who is awful, a ninth rounder from the most recent draft. Uh yeah I'd say he's very much filler.
  24. He's like an extreme Grichuk. Even higher bust potential but also immense ceiling if he can cut down the Ks to respectable or get the walks way up.
  25. C+ prospect is being very generous to Stevenson.
