Unrelated note: Anthony Rizzo is still unsigned. Rizzo produced a .735 OPS during his four year stint in New York.
it rarely makes sense to want to sign a player for their entire career. The Cubs exited at the right time.
Do we expect Paul Goldschmidt will have a meaningful improvement in his age 37 season?
I was surprised to see his 1.3 wins above replacement level last year. It sure felt like less.
I forget our daily game thread grievances. Allowing a run in the first inning. Batting orders, strikeouts, leaving starter in too long, taking starter out too early. Iām sure Iāll remember tomorrow.
Ace is probably too strong of a word when your ERA is almost always around 3.80. At the same time, he is a reliable starting pitcher.
if he was a free agent, he would make double or triple his salary.
Corbin Burnes allowed 11 hits in 2.2 IP in the same game Peralta allowed 8 hits over 3.1 IP on Friday.
Iām not worried. I assume Peralta will be around his career average 3.79 ERA this year.
Ben Sheets had terrible outcomes every spring, too.
