    The CBA (as far as competitive balance tac is concerned) really needs to have something in it to balance the tax differences for different teams.

    Have you been to the Vatican?

    Something that occurred to me this week. Vlad doesn’t bring much to the table other than his bat and I am not sure anyone would argue that he has a better bat than Yordan but is getting paid much more with a far larger guarantee. Him and Antony took the Jays to the proverbial cleaners.

    Gotta get in the lineup to go yard. I miss the days where guys played everyday.
  5. mphenhef
    I can't see this happening at this point. Scherzer also probably needs the time between starts to recover at this point.
  6. mphenhef
    MAybe we should try him leading off ;) ?
  7. mphenhef
    Hopefully in AAA

    What makes this even worse is the fact they haven't exactly been facing tough starters thus far.

    So depending on where you place the value of 1 WAR, he is either already costing more than his value or just barely providing excess value. Not what you want in a mega contract that will most definitely age poorly.

    It's not the Rendon contract

    What a masterclass in how not to negotiate a long term extension this was from Atkins/Shapiro. The last half of this one is going to be painful and I hope I am wrong but I'm not sure Vlad has the profile to provide excess value in the early years due to his position and defensive/baserunning shortcomings.

    The one I found was just that Ketel Marte was using a similar bat since around 2019.

    Someone needs to draw a $500 million dollar check on the inside half of the plate to draw his attention away from the outside junk.
  14. mphenhef
    Davis Schneider needs to be off this roster.

    Torpedo bats have been around for far longer than two years. The new piece of this puzzle is that they are analyzing the swings and where the players hit the ball on the bat typically and fully customizing the placement of the barrel for their players. Brilliant if you ask me.

    I will go to my grave believing that Royals team was stealing/relaying signs in the late innings. Too many games where the bats came alive in the late innings.

    I have said it before and will say it again I am sure. The biggest failing of this front office has been the complete inability to draft and develop any pitchers. They haven’t even managed to draft and develop relievers even. Middle relievers should not be the types that you spend any money or trade assets on but this front office has had to time and time again due to this complete failing to develop ANYTHING.

    Did Vlad switch agents?
  19. mphenhef
    I was shocked to see how high his Caught Stealing Above Average was last year on Baseball Savant (97th percentile). He made some serious improvements despite a poor pop time.
  20. mphenhef
    It's been a week, the power surge could just be small sample size. I hope it isn't and the fact there are mechanical changes that could be leading to it is a great sign.
  21. mphenhef
    I had the same thought, then I realized somehow Ketel Marte had turned 31 already. I would have sworn he was barely older than Vlad.
  22. mphenhef
    These are guys who already had generational wealth from their fathers. They had no need to negotiate a deal early for their long-term financial health.
  23. mphenhef
    It was so close he probably would have been save had he run through it.
  24. mphenhef
    Volpe, Jazz, Bellinger, Goldy and Wells are all using them. Stanton too when healthy although he may be blaming the bats for his injury too. Apparently it was suggested to Volpe when an analyst saw the most common spot he was making contact with the ball was lower on the bat so they adjusted it. I wonder how custom the bats are per each player and if they are moving the new sweet spot to suit each one of them best.
  25. mphenhef
    I would do 133 personally
