    Yeah I agree

    This Red Sox reporter doesn’t believe in saves or closers so is submitting a blank HoF ballot:

    I stopped following Rosenthal when he joined the Athletic - the majority of his tweets now just shill his articles for them.

    You’re joking right? Most casuals don’t really care about prospects, especially when the main one they’ll have heard of was acquired by AA. All they see is a title contender dismantled into a bad team while 2 division rivals have sustained success without tanking. It would be bizarre if Shatkins was super popular with the casuals.

    Apparently wagwan means what’s going on

    In theory, the shift takes hits away. In theory, hits are more exciting than outs. Ergo, limit the shift = more hits = baseball is more "fun".

    One or 2 veterans on relatively cheap short term deals. Gio Gonzalez and Jeremy Hellickson?

    There is no one in the world, let alone this board, who thinks that every prospect is going to make it. There's also a big difference between "pouring cold water" on a prospect, and tercet calling anyone who doesn't agree with his own opinion morons.

    Haha, nah it's not stupid to consider ways to limit the shift. IMO it won't happen but that doesn't mean it shouldn't even be discussed. For every person who moans that restricting fielders from standing where they want is against the unwritten rules, there's a person who moans about the lower numbers of hits causing games to be even more boring than normal.
  11. Bobthe4th
    Yeah that could work. In the short format versions of cricket (probably the closest major sport to baseball) there are fielding restrictions designed to increase the runs scored and therefore entertainment.

    This is predicting Espinal to have a breakout year:

    The biggest impact could be that now if a player defects from Cuba they will have to wait one to two years before signing for a MLB team. I can see players not wanting to wait until they are over 25 and a free agent (if their team doesn’t want to let them go before then), but it’d be risky either sitting out a year or two or playing in the DR or similar.

    They should just abolish it entirely. People already get up to ten chances to get in.
  17. Bobthe4th
    Maybe they have they deleted them since you posted this, but there isn’t a single comment critising the author. The top comment is criticising Fangrsphs overall but starts “I enjoy Sheryl’s work”.

    With 16% of votes disclosed so far the HoF tracker (link) that tallies known votes currently has Halladay and Martinez at over 90% and Rivera at 100%. Mussina and Schilling are both currently over the threshold too.
  19. Bobthe4th
    Even if we were tanking it takes two teams to make a trade. All 3 have enough flaws to mean that we may only have received very low offers (if any at all).

    Who is going to pay what it takes to get Realmuto? The Astros?

    Just a heads up as you already voted for her twice - Littlemoon is eligible for both foreign poster and rookie of the year (Portuguese with a join date of 18 December 2017)
  23. Bobthe4th
    Yeah we could use the middle infield depth and Russell isn’t going to play much with Jansen as the main catcher.......wait
  24. Bobthe4th
    Yeah absolutely, and losing either isn’t the end of the world either.
  25. Bobthe4th
    Assume he means not protecting Romano / Bergen.
