  1. Yeah it's just impossible to know what to expect of him in the future. I think some of the offense is going to stick and he won't totally revert to being a shitbag at the plate. I think the low end is likely in the 110 wRC+ range but the high end 99th percentile projection is pretty tantalizing.
  2. That's a pretty risky addition on the pitching end though as Paxton seems just as likely to miss the entire season as he is to provide enough 100 innings to the team. Kikuchi for all his warts has been really durable, and removing him in place of a high risk pitcher like Paxton is greatly increasing the probability that the team is going to need to dip into it's pitching depth.
  3. I think Gruber is likely fantasizing about feeding Ross Atkins a s*** sandwich as we speak. Oh s*** can't just throw out insults with no baseball content. So I recently compared Bellinger to Altuve on the Statcast xWOBA differential chart. I noticed Altuve has basically ran a large differential between his xWOBA and actual WOBA level for much of his career so I'm curious if this could be something to potentially expect from Bellinger. Sort of like pitchers who typically beat their FIP levels year to year due to factors not accounted for by the performance indicator, there could be players who have the ability to outperform their expected stats due to the system not accounting for their batted ball distribution.
  4. I think Teoscar is going to be in tough to produce like late career Cruz as Teo strikes out too damn much. I have a hard time seeing that improve a great degree in the future with a guy who's already 31.
  5. His "good year" saw him manage all of a 2.1 FWAR. His 106 wRC+ was the worst since his rookie season. It's crazy to think but he actually had a positive defensive contribution after Fangraph positional adjustment. I'd much rather have Teo personally as I think the offensive upside is much higher of the two. It's just a matter of whether he's going to cost more as he's a single season removed from producing a 130 wRC+.
  6. Is this Yelich or someone else?
  7. Are we still allowed to toss out insults as long as there is still baseball related discussion contained in the post? I'm uh asking for Spanky.
  8. Yeah it's very fair to question what kind of shape he will be in several years into the future as he seems to have yo yoed up and down in the past. He's still likely the most gifted hitter the organization has produced so it's not an easy question to answer with regards to a future extension. If he shows up in great shape the next two season with 150 wRC+ type of production to match I'd still do the extension in hopes that he has the personal pride to maintain this type of conditioning. Even having said that I don't know how much a factor his conditioning has been with regards to his offensive performance in recent seasons.
  9. This idiot must be a glutton for punishment if he keeps coming back for more.
  10. Don't kid yourself you'd still find a reason to complain. You aren't happy that Vlad shares pictures of him in the gym because according to your infinite wisdom only people that don't regularly work out do this. Now the guy very well may actually be in the best shape of his entire life and you still aren't happy. FFS.
  11. I don't think Vlad has ever shared photos of himself in this kind of shape. This is also his first offseason exclusively training in Florida as well.
  12. It sounds like the team was willing to spend the necessary money for Semien but he simply chose the Rangers offer for reasons beyond the team's control.
  13. That's the thing, Gurriel just produced his best ever full season WAR at a whopping total of 2.1. He's a complimentary player at best.
  14. Back to baseball related discussions. Who pitches more combined innings over the next 5 seasons, Ohtani or Glasnow?
  15. By my count it was more like 18. I can't decide if that is better or worse than grammar check police and arguing about some jerkwad that got himself banished from MLB.
  16. We could use some Blue Jays additions soon as the board has reverted to Bauer arguments and Filipino/Filipina grammar discussions.
  17. Would you prefer they didn't even try in the first place?
  18. Was there any mistake in my statement though? If my quick bit of research is correct I would have erred if I referred to her as a Filipino in a singular sense, however it was technically correct to refer to her as Filipino in descent.
  19. Yeah if Ohtani actually wanted a chance to win as he was claiming then the Angels were the obvious outlier. There's really no reason for you to be dunking on the Jays front office here. Even though signing Ohtani was a longshot they took their shot in the off chance that they managed to convince him to sign with the Jays.
  20. That is true he isn't exactly a saint for deferring this money by any means. I do wonder what sort of salary he would have been paid had he not suggested the deferral scheme in the first place. Perhaps this deferral idea could even out over time if the ultra stacked Dodgers team wins multiple world series championships while he's there, with an end result of greatly increasing the eventual endorsement money he's able to rake in.
  21. She's Filipino man, you obviously don't know your Asian chicks for s***.
