  1. I mean, he's literally been a 1.5 and 1.6 WAR player the 2 previous years that he was a starter on the infield. Gurriel's broke 2 WAR once in his career and projects for just 2 WAR this year - yet costs almost twice as much as IKF, plus he gets an extra year and an opt out after year 2. Suggesting IKF's deal is 10x worse is just plain stupidity.
  2. Yikes. What an awful trade that's been for them.
  3. Rockies and White Sox are just atrocious organizations right now.
  4. If you're dumb enough to assume all the other players in the lineup will perform exactly as they did last year and you'll have no contribution from anyone else in the organization - then yes. But that's pretty stupid. Even if you did think that way, the Jays were 7th in MLB in wRC+ last year.
  5. Wow - that's unacceptable. You're a piece of s***.
  6. This just in - Danny Jansen isn't dead either and he swings a good stick. You can get Danny and Kirk in the lineup if you put Turner at 3rd v. LHP
  7. Lukes isn't on the roster man His speed was 61st percentile for the league last year and has been declining since 2019. Are you just looking at his SB's last year?
  8. Gurriel getting 3 years $42M (with an opt out) is one of the most baffling signings of the offseason.
  9. He actually hasn't been pretty damn good v. LHP over the last few years. 2021 - 95 wRC+ 2022 - 116 wRC+ 2023 - 111 wRC+ Solid - but not spectacular. But yes, if you want slightly more offense, that arrangement would work find. Of course that would mean Votto/Voggy can't be on the roster (which may be fine). Anyway - he projects to be a league average bat (100 wRC+). If he wanted to sign for $1-2M - sure, but it seems doubtful he does.
  10. Even if he's Mr. Rogers in the clubhouse, he's been a league average bat over the past 4 seasons and projects to be one again this year, without providing much defense. He isn't the big power bat everyone wants. Statcast page looks sexy, but there's probably a reason he's unsigned. Maybe he's holding out for big money - waiting for an injury? Who knows. Point is - he's still available! Do you guys want him taking at bats away from Babe Schneider or Clement?
  11. Yeah it does! Well 2023 does. She's a little colder in 2022. It is interesting he's still unsigned and that his results don't seem to match the statcast page. Perhaps teams know something we don't.
  12. That's fair - I don't. But I do know that since 2020, he's a .238/.325/.392 99 wRC+ hitter who doesn't play good defense. Now at age 36, I'm not sure I'd want him on the team taking at bats away from many other players on this team (on in our farm system).
  13. Pham's still available I believe. Likely in part because he's a POS.
  14. Just can't help yourself eh? Senior Wet Blanket
  15. I've been busy all weekend watching my 3 boys compete in the OMHA Championships. What have I missed? Let me guess - this place a burning pile of steaming s*** the past 2 days with the typical dipshits losing their minds - most of whom have disappeared today?
  16. It's a 1-1 game. Perhaps the doomsday crew could just STFU a hair more? These clowns have the emotional intelligence of a doorknob.
  17. 12 minutes into the season and the GDT is insufferable. It's almost like Eflin is a good pitcher?
  18. Just 162 more games of bitching and whining to go!
  19. Yeah we're making the playoffs far too often. He's make the rest of the guys look bad.
  20. It's just to break up the lefties. Kirk projects to be a 121 wRC+ hitter and he's batting 6th. The Dodgers 6th hitter only projects to hit 108 wRC+ (just a couple of points above what Varsho projects to hit). Hope that helps.
  21. Yeah I just wanted to add in the roster crunch component. There are a lot more Zulu's hitting waivers these days then there have been in previous years.
  22. There's a chance. Remember there's a huge roster crunch around the league right now. That factor might allow him to clear waivers - but even if he doesn't, it means there will likely be other interesting arms like Zulu available throughout the year.
  23. I don't understand this thinking. List of 2025 FA's Soto Goldschmidt Alonso Bregman Burnes Max Fried Bieber These star players are all heading into their final season before free agency without an extension. Are all these GM's massive failures too?
