    Hell yeah

    I've been pulling for a Teo return from the beginning of the off-season. Hopefully this takes us out of the running for Bellinger.
  3. BatFlip
    It's a one year deal and it's likely due to a lack of options. I don't feel bad about it, as i said, I really enjoyed watching him. Hopefully they have an actual LF bat still coming and KK ends up with ~300 ABs similar to last year with some stellar D.

    KK had a great bounce back season and really enjoyed watching him last year.... But he's turning 34 in April. Varsho is highly likely to be a superior defensive center fielder over the next year or two and almost certain to be a vastly superior center fielder beyond that. I'm not sure people appreciate just how good Varsho is in the field... and he's 27.
  5. BatFlip
    Haha! That is amazing.

    Merry Christmas to everyone! Had a great morning watching my boys open their presents!
  7. BatFlip
    Yeah, that's some real tomfoolery. Varsho has a lot of value in centerfield.
  8. BatFlip
    The guy had a spring invite meltdown.
  9. BatFlip
    Yeah, no thanks.

    The difference in Bader's career splits are crazy. +130 slugging percentage vs. lhp. Bader probably more accepting of the platoon role as well.
  11. BatFlip
    .750 career ops vs LHP and .914 vs LHP in 2023? And he can cover CF? Yes please.
  12. BatFlip
    I agree with all of this.

    Do you mean 2.5 WAR is the most likely average of possible outcomes, or you think 2.5 WAR is the most likely outcome? I agree, this guy is an enigma wrapped up in question marks. He could put up a 0 WAR season, a 2.5 WAR season, a 6 WAR season - I feel like none of these outcomes would be a surprise and all are equally possible. It's hard for me to see him as acceptable gamble at the likely price tag ($160-$200M) and I don't think there's any statistical magic that indicates he's most likely 4-6 WAR player moving forward. I'd prefer they go the route of shorter term signings and save the payroll space for stronger FA classes next year and the year after that. It's just poor salary management to pay for the upside scenario on someone who has such a variability in possible production. I'm still going to be pumped if we land him, I'll just be crossing my fingers and hoping the dice fall in our favour.

    Either of those things would completely ruin Christmas.
  15. BatFlip
    Surely he is trolling us on Brandon Crawford. That guy is past his expiry date.
  16. BatFlip
    I was shocked too. Good run.
  17. BatFlip
    That's basically all Atkins has to do. Jump on his chromebook, push up his glasses, and type http://www.baseballtradevalues.com. +5 on this one? Checks out, we got a deal.
  18. BatFlip
    I agree with what you're saying, but not sure if Gallo is the option I'd go with. I think Teoscar has more upside with the bat, just not sure how many years his market will end up at.
  19. BatFlip
    100% - he can handle the corner for sure. Projections seem to have him and Chapman at similar offensive contributions next year and Adames is 28. Adames isn't a disappointing Plan B, he'd be a pretty solid option at third. Just not sure what the acquisition cost would be with a couple years of arb control remaining.
  20. BatFlip
    You'd think so wouldn't you? The Jays have a bunch of guys that can step in and provide some kind of reasonable floor at 2B if Davis isn't the next Mike Trout. That's the one position you save some money at so you can blow your load on LF/DH.
  21. BatFlip
    Amen.
  22. BatFlip
    Contract didn't look half bad on first glance, but Wacha has an opt-out after first year. If he shits the bed he has a $32M guarantee from the Royals, but if puts together some real innings, he simply opts out and looks for more dollars next year.
  23. BatFlip
    That was my mistake, should have been last two years not three years. Still a fourth line grinder that's imminently replaceable. Disagree?
  24. BatFlip
    He does kind of resemble a fourth line grinder.
  25. BatFlip
    Whit can bring that high level small ball approach to another team. Sorry to say, I'm not going to miss watching that guy. Noodle bat that hasn't put up 1.0 WAR in the last THREE seasons combined. Not sure why so many fans seem to have a hard on for this guy.
