    3 WAR = 6 WAR when you're a slugger like Vlad.
  2. Brownie19
    It is going to be fascinating to see if this is the real Vlad and he's going to be Miggy for the next 6-7 years. Is this sustainable? Who knows. I think there's a very real possibility this is mirage and we should cash in now, but I also think there's a real possibility he's finally matured and is going to be a beast moving forward. I lean towards locking him up now, but I'm still scarred by how s***** he was in 2022 and 2023 when we really needed him to be a star player. 2022 and 2023 likely finish differently if we have this version of Vlad on them.
  3. Brownie19
    Yes - my comments look worse after Vlad goes 8 for 15 with 3 Hrs, 5 runs and 7 RBIs in the past 3 games.
  4. Brownie19
    Yes Bloss will be our #1 prospect and yes these recent trades will help bolster the farm system. This is a good step in the right direction to drag it out of the bottom 5 in baseball. Good news is it's possibly to turn your farm system around in just a few years.

    I'm not going to lie, Loperfido has a bit of a Derek Fisher profile to him...Now personally, I'm cool with that. Give me the upside potential, but we know fans won't understand the probability of failure for a guy with his profile.
  7. Brownie19
    Brewers get Montas for Joey Wiemer and Jakob Junis Wiemer used to be a top prospect. Change is scenery may help him.
  8. Brownie19
    I thought he'd bring back a Top 100 prospect. This is a really good haul by the Jays. Definitely should be listening to trades for Bassitt given that return.
  9. Brownie19
    Doing what you have to do so you don't waste an elite pitching staff means adding legit bats (not Justin Turner).

    Is this a crack at all the reports of people s***ing in holes at the beach?
  11. Brownie19
    He's played 8 games at AA man. Those results are useless. It's his age 23 season and he was just drafted last year. Horwitz spent most of his Age 23 season in A+ ball too, which a lower wRC+. It's f***ing JUSTIN TURNER we traded - could you look at the bright side for once?
  12. Brownie19
    9th round pick in last year's draft, with a 148 wRC+ in A+ ball. 17% BB rate v. 14% K rate. He's old that level and will likely never amount to anything, but this still seems like 3 times the return I expected for Justin Turner.
  13. Brownie19
    Is Kopech anything really? -1.1 WAR over the past 2 seasons. Reclamation project for someone, just like Big Nate was.
  14. Brownie19
    I wonder if we shutdown Y-Rod soon anyway. 60+ innings on the season now after throwing 0 last year. Maybe he has a couple more starts in him? Good day for Clement and another utility guy or 2 to give us some innings.
  15. Brownie19
    If we're relying on Pop, Little, Burr, Cabrera, etc. to play key roles in our pen next year, we aren't competing. Personally, I don't think competing in 2025 is going to be feasible either way.
  16. Brownie19
    What is the point of this type of speculation? We've already made 3 trades and moved 2 of the expiring contracts. It's really just Kikucci left to move, plus Turner if anyone wants him (which is unlikely).
  17. Brownie19
    It's all really irrelevant. Outside of Green - the arms in the pen are all disposable.
  18. Brownie19
    Reds acquired INF Ty France and cash considerations from the Mariners for minor league C Andruw Salcedo.
  19. Brownie19
    Actually some tidy work by the White Sox. Signed Fedde from the KBO and cash in by trading him for a handful of prospects.
  20. Brownie19
    You said "RIght now Juan Soto is on track to out-war Vlad 10-3, but their traditional stats may end up in the same ballpark." Given the WAR values, I assumed you meant for this season...in which case, Vlad's traditional stats aren't very close to Soto's.
  21. Brownie19
    Couple of thoughts. I think people understood that Teo had 4 WAR upside. He always had big time tools, it was just a matter of whether he could unlock them at the ML level. I think Derek Fisher had the same type of upside. He had great exit velo, sprint speed, etc. He had all the tools, but was never able to unlock and utilize them with any success in the majors. Randel Grichuk was similar, albeit his tools weren't quite as loud. Players with this profile obviously are risk/reward types. There's typically a lot of doubt whether they'll reach their potential - otherwise, the cost/value to acquire them would be sky high. At first glance, it looks like we got a few toolsy players in these recent trades. There's probably a high probability they fail, but they have some upside and as you say, you only need 1 of those lottery tickets to "hit" really.
  22. Brownie19
    No offense man, but this is a stretch. Soto's traditional stats are WAY ahead of Vlad - so are his advanced stats. They aren't in the same area code this year, which is reflective in their wRC+, WAR, etc.
  23. Brownie19
    Could you elaborate why it's not?
  24. Brownie19
    Bingo
  25. Brownie19
    If the trade was leaked and seen on TV before it was officially then that's the end of this story. You want the Jays to call the clubhouse and give Jansen the heads up that they are closing in on a deal to move him - before it's even a done deal and/or official? Even if they've already had previous discussions with him to inform him of their intent to trade him? That's f***ing stupid. People hate the FO, which is fine, but you can't hold this against them.
