    It's super weird that they are only doing it in the 2nd half of the season, but yes it seems like they'll be moving the mounds back and the pitcher will throw from 2 feet further away.

    Rule changes to the Atlantic league, which many of these writers seem to think could lead to these rule changes being implemented at the MLB level.

    Scott Boras is the absolute worst. He's screwed up big time with a significant number of his free agents over the last few years, probably many more times than the general public is aware of. I wonder if athletes will start flocking away from him. Moustakas, probably Keuchel, and...? Most of this just seems to be the crappy reality of owners making a switch to the system where non-elite guys won't get long-term deals in their 30s and Moustakas and Keuchel (debatable) were left holding the bag. EDIT: And OK, I guess Maldonado. Pollock, Mccutchen, Eovaldi, Lemehiu, Murphy...all got multi-year deals and guess what these guys all have in common? Also don't forget about Greg Holland last year.
  4. KeithStone53151
    This seems like far and away the most likely result at this point, and probably a 1 year deal with a mutual option.

    I'm telling everyone here... he's gonna be REAL good for the Crew. I've had him as my top position prospect in the Top 25 votes since Mid-2017. He's probably staying there this season as well. The pitcher he hit it off is a nobody, and he was seriously struggling before the HR. The pitch he hit out was a belt high cement mixer on the inner half. You might as well put it on a tee. I'm not putting too much stock in that AB.

    The handful of games I've watched so far I've noticed a lot of strikes called much higher in the zone than normal. Probably a small sample situation for me then. The cameras are also a bit weird, coupled with me not watching baseball for 5 months.
  7. KeithStone53151
    How can nobody want this guy? Or is this a situation of the Steelers severely overplaying their hand?

    Guys don't always have their midseason velocity at this point in ST. This isn't overly concerning to me.

    I think Stearns is looking beyond this year. IF Grandal leaves in 2020, Pina will again be the #1 catcher designate. Plus his defensive skills are far superior to Kratz's. EK's age is against him too. I would like to think that even with Grandal leaving, we are aiming higher than Pina as the #1 catcher on a contending team. That we'd find someone else to be the number 1 next year if needed. Beyond that, Nottingham/Henry/Feliciano all show varying degrees of promise.

    Ray had a chance to throw out Jon Jay at home on a shallow-medium depth fly to right. For starters, he seemed to struggle judging a very routine fly ball. Second, the ball was rolling very slowly into the plate on the throw, not a good throw at all. I'm not sure that throw was indicative of a 50 grade arm. Ray really isn't an option in RF, he might not be an option in CF with that arm either.
  12. KeithStone53151
    This is my first time watching any game action this spring, is it just me or is the strike zone lower than last year? It seems like they lowered it back to where it was 3 years ago.
  13. KeithStone53151
    This is correct. Hader has 2 more years of min salary, and 3 years of arbitration.
  14. KeithStone53151
    90-91 is fine at this point in ST. Hopefully he can get a couple ticks back.
  15. KeithStone53151
    Unless Pina is injured, no, it is not possible. Injured or traded were the big 2 I was thinking. I also would generally disagree with this, but the Brewers seem to love Kratz and if Pina was bad enough in ST...I could see them wrongly giving Kratz the backup nod. Again, all longshots.
  16. KeithStone53151
    I don't consider this an impossible scenario. Definitely a longshot though. That is super lazy by rotoworld.
  17. KeithStone53151
    Thanks for the info.

    What did you end up getting? I did the same thing last year and did the movie night which was an absolutely massive hit with my kids. It was so great I ended up picking again as my blue. I got the movie night this year and was wondering a bit about it. Basically, I'm guessing I didn't really care for the blue rewards much and just clicked buttons. I don't have kids and don't care too much to do this. I was thinking about letting a friend of mine take his wife and 2 kids instead. Do they closely check ID's or anything, would this be possible to do in your opinion? Also roughly what time did this start up last year?

    Other teams got better too, and there's of course potential regression. The Cubs getting the real Kris Bryant back is going to be massive and can't be understated, and we barely edged out the Cubs. Plus, for all we know, maybe Maddon learned over the offseason how to not destroy a bullpen by mid-August. Who says the Cubs aren't going to regress? Bryant may be healthier, but still has questions marks. Can Baez repeat his near-MVP performance? Both Lester and Hamels are old, and the wheels could fly off. Darvish is a huge question mark. And it's Maddon's MO to destroy his pen, so I doubt he learned anything. I don't know how the Brewers can't be considered the favorites, until they prove otherwise. You definitely don't need to tell me about Cubs regression. I'm all over it, and I hope we are both right. You can't just look at last years results, the moves we've made, and that's it. Look how much better the Cardinals and Reds got. And the Cubs do still have a ton of potential in their position players. Maybe Happ or Almora or Schwarber breaks out like Baez did this year. For me, it's just hard to call any team in the NL central a clear favorite. Odds of winning the division are probalby something like 30%, 25%, 25%, 15%, 5%. I think we all know who the 15 and 5 are...but which of the other 3 is the 30%? And regardless, it's hard to call 30% a clear favorite...they would barely be a favorite. I think it's that close right now.

    I don't think Thames is having much issue with Ray. Apparently he just hit one into Lake Michigan
  21. KeithStone53151
    +1. The only reason he'd be in the minors is if he was unproductive or not 100% ready to pitch every 5th day. Service time is 0% of that equation.

    It's going to be tough to be a clear favorite with the Cubs, and the vastly improved Cardinals in our division. I know many disagree on this last team, but I also think the Reds will be a lot better than last year. They could contend if enough breaks right. It's tough to argue that any NL central team is a clear favorite. Heck I'd argue if the Dodgers were in this division, they wouldn't be a clear favorite either.
  24. KeithStone53151
    As for payroll. I think the Brewers could bump to $150 million without losing money, assuming they at least make the DS. Payroll taxes and benefits increase as payroll dollars increase as well, so it's not as simple as looking at salary only.
  25. KeithStone53151
    Is this true? That seems crazy to me. I mean, they sell the parking on their website and through SSH packages...why would they waste resources doing that if they didn't get a cut? They probably also own the land. I imagine some 3rd party probably runs the operation, and the Brewers get x%.
