  1. They have enough value that they are at worst just salary dumps and neither of those teams are in a position to give away prospects to rid themselves of a player.
  2. He probably wants to bet on himself after a down year coming off Tommy John surgery. If he rebounds, he's going to get a nice 3 or 4 year deal.
  3. I presume you mean Urias? Actually, his account was hacked by clancy.
  4. I can see for Lyles and Lyles and Lyles and Lyles and Lyles.
  5. This is a good deal and the type of deal you should use a pick on.
  6. First in Boston now us? He needs a change of scenery as often as I need a change of underwear. I think this might be more of a you problem.
  7. It was bad at the time and there was no hindsight because a lot of posters said it was bad when it happened. Yes, those who undervalue FIP/xFIP or overvalue draft picks. I don't think anyone was predicting that Claudio would revert to a 3.5 BB/9, which ended up being the problem. No, people ignored hard contact rates and the fact that he should only be a LOOGY, which is fine but again, you can get LOOGYs anywhere for next to nothing money wise.
  8. It was bad at the time and there was no hindsight because a lot of posters said it was bad when it happened.
  9. Alex Claudio trade keeps getting better.
  10. Grandal got a 4 year offer from the Mets last year and turned it down to bet on himself on a one year deal. The Brewers probably didn't want to commit a multi-year deal to Moustakas not knowing how he was going to handle 2nd base.
  11. Traded to Miami for Easton Lucas.
  12. Unfortunately, Justin Fields has better secondary moves other than back pedal and throw off your back foot so you'll likely need some sort of spy or be damn confident that your rushers can not only get pressure but maintain their lanes.
  13. Meanwhile. The Admirals have won a franchise record 13 straight games.
  14. The article doesn't really offer anything new. As noted, it says that the Brewers are willing to listen on just about any player on the roster - including Hader. And Rosenthal quotes 'major league sources' that say Hader is available. The price would be huge, and most any contending team (at least with money available) would love to have Hader. Rosenthal speculates that the Mets would be interested - but he doesn't have any specific evidence for this (and says so) - other than Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen used to represent Hader (and Van Wagenen has acquired several of his former clients). He notes that Hader has been used heavily the last two years, and that he will get expensive very quickly. Those two factors may make the Brewers willing to listen if teams comes calling. Again, none of this is new stuff. Just Rosenthal chatting up the possibilities, which his fine. The other interesting note is that while his projected arbitration salary is $4.6 million the CBA allows his agents to argue that he is a player of "special accomplishment" enabling them to compare him to any reliever, not just those in his service class.
  15. So all the new merchandise sales means we're signing Cole, Strasburg and Rendon right?
  16. Cursive on uniforms looks great. Block letters do not. Get rid of the block letters for cursive and my opinion shifts dramatically.
  17. The blue jerseys are the only ones that aren't hot trash.
  18. Powder blue is hideous. I don't want them to go to the BiG logo but if they do for the love of God go with navy.
  19. Now do all the raises a bunch of our players are going to get.
  20. Hader averaged 95.6 on his fastball, Rogers averaged 94.8.
  21. Depends on if we're using the juiced ball or not. Hiura is probably an .825-.850 OPS guy with the old ball. Maybe last year he was. He's only 23 and has the skill set to significantly improve his production in the coming years. Just like with Happ and Schwarber, projections should be assuming young players will improve at least through age 27...especially those that are elite prospects with elite bat speed. He had a .402 BABIP. Even if he improves his strikeout rate, he isn't going to improve on that BABIP.
