  1. Wealthy suburbs bro. You can work in Baltimore and live in MD, VA, DC, PA. Not like Met’s players live in Queens.
  2. For every K from Kikuchi you can probably add X 2 BB or hits… End product results- Bassit any day of the week.
  3. Astros in talks for Varsho. Fuuuuuck. If Arizona moves him and he doesn’t come to us, I will be pissssed!
  4. Never said you did. I was just pointing out that even if we pivoted to Rondon, same penalty. Take a deep breath Thanos.. The world is at stake....
  5. Glad to hear you got a happy ending.
  6. So one of the reasons I didn't want Kikuchi is because his 2nd half after the All Star game he sucked. His velocity dropped and he was getting hit hard etc.. With Bassit, there was no correlation in performance with his velocity drop as I previously pointed out. Plus Kikuchi sucked prior to his All-Star season. Bassit has a nice track record of consistency the past few years.
  7. I bet he goes to the Padres
  8. Bassit from June 11th, so prior to actual second half only had four games where he went less than 6 innings. Of those 4 games, one was a 5 inning game and one was the last game of the season for a playoff team. During that stretch he went 7 or plus innings five times and he went 8 or plus innings three times. All this on a playoff team in a playoff race with a deep pen. Point being, even if his K numbers went down second half, his overall work kept him in games 6 plus innings on average. SP eating up innings, is what we need and want, so we can save our pen this year and stay in games and give our offense a chance to put it away.
  9. I normally agree with you about baseball related stuff 90% of the time, but not this one. Bassitt has been consistently sneaky good. He just gets the job done.. With his type of stuff, no reason to see why he can't continue the next 3 years. If you look at percentile charts etc, maybe not sexy, but at the end of the day a consistently good lay.
  10. Rodon has a pick with him also..
  11. Twice already... The guy beside me wasn't happy....
  12. YES!! I just saw this! I have been saying this is what we should do and my telepathy worked. Great move!
  13. Giants sign Manaea. Interesting. I thought they would go Rondon or Bassit. I guess they still could, but doubt it now. I am happy, Bassit still on market, just has the pick attached which is pretty big..
  14. Not anymore, not even in one league. He had a good 2022 season has multiple position versatility and is a switch hitter. Would be happy to have him. Jansen is like Buxton but with less track record. Got to play to be of value.
  15. Don’t get this one. I would love to have Urquidy.
  16. The WAR is v2.2...???? Version 2.2 Based on discussions with FanGraphs and others, we decided to drop the replacement level to .294 from .320. This means that 2013 MLB has 1000 WAR in the entire major leagues. This was applied retroactively, so that it was applied to all previous AL, NL, and NA seasons. Other Major Leagues (AA, UA, PL, FL) were maintained at the same level relative to the NL. After the positional adjustment was applied we forced the major league average to be zero across the league. A small amount of smoothing was done to transition between decade-long league-vs-league replacement levels. Fangraphs has a top 100 hitters list which posted 12/07/22. There are other catchers in the top 100. Happ is in the top 100, Jansen is not. Using a purely Fangraphs overall assessment.
  17. I am using Baseball Reference which has 4.4 WAR for Happ. Regardless. They might do a Jansen for Happ trade. The point of contention is you saying Jansen would get Happ plus. Or that Jansen in the real world is so much more valuable then Happ. Just the fact Happ is a switch hitter and we need a left handed hitting bat is extremely valuable to the Jays. Plus the fact he can play multiple positions both OF and IF.
  18. Yea, because you are extrapolating a catcher as if he is going to play every day and that Jansen is going to sustain that... The answer is No and No. Your WAR is based on extrapolating ABs. My WAR in the previous post is real life and actually what occurred. 4.4 for Happ vs 2.9 for Jansen. Jansen will be 28 a week into the season. His birthday is April. Jansen has one more year of control. Nothing you said means we would get Happ PLUS for Jansen.
  19. Happ was worth 4.4 WAR in 2022, Jansen was worth 2.9. Happ is a switch hitter who can play any OF position and various IF positions and plays everyday. They are both 27 yrs old.
  20. I think you are seriously overvaluing Jansen or undervaluing Happ... Not sure if you are serious..??
  21. The goal of the off season should be run prevention. Make it superior than last season where it was unsat! So far- The Teo move and KK does that. We made our pen better, we have a SP with upside, we increased our OF defense significantly. The off season is not over yet. However, the above moves are in line with what should be our strategic objective.
  22. We would have to send more. No way Jansen gets Happ plus... Happ is a valuable asset.
  23. Cohen watched the deGrom press conference and made an impulse purchase. Not kidding..
  24. If we can get Bassit at 4 yrs after Rondon is asking for 7, we should do that in a heartbeat!
  25. Bassit and Rondon still out there. Pablo Lopez and maybe some of the other Miami young guns are still on the market. I hope to hell not ref Kikuchi, but not going to panic yet....
