Lol, i'll walk it back again but I just meant to say I'd rather pay (and/or overpay) a mid-20's position player rather than a entering age 40...
True but the Stros of late have a much better record 'un****ing' an outside pitcher successfully...... lasting until the pitcher leaves for...
Nice factoid. Chassy Fizz was easy. The other one... not so much.
If I'm Arizona, i still don't make that deal either. You're asking for two players of the most expensive trade acquisition class: above avg MLB...
Lol wut. Goldschmidt ain't going anywhere. He's MVP candidate on a playoff team. Similarly Arizona is not trading their 4.1fWAR first baseman...
This. I was assuming 300 wins was the biggest reason he picked 45 y/o to pitch to. Given aging curves, that might be the exact time he gets to...
Ivy league education 30 years ago /= recent Ivy MBA well-versed in data and analytics. Ausmus has been around the game a long time and is a...
I mean, fine. Make the number $130-150m/6 instead of $180m/6. My point was that it makes more sense to pay the guy a few years shy of his physical...
(I fully understand my opinion is not how the MOY award is voted on). Dusty DGAF about the MOY award after getting the ring. I just think that...

By combined pitching and batting WAR, Ohtani (combined 9.4 fWAR) is second to Judge (11.4fWAR) anyway. They both had legendary seasons for...
Agree. Can't really go wrong with any of Rizzo, Abreu, Bell. I lean Rizzo personally. Let's see who wants to channel their inner Hector Neris...
Lol. I don't "deserve to experience a world series championship". Laying it on a bit thick there guy. We can disagree. You'll notice I never said...
What is full market value though? We're all guessing. Scherzer got $43.3m AAV and already way underperformed that. Is FMV for a guy 2 years...
Dubon is an average to above average multi-positional defender. Still flabbergasted how that manages to piss so many people off. I think you can...
Crazy as it may seem, but I still got Biggio ahead of Altuve on the all-time astros list. Obviously Biggio has him on the career numbers; he...
Yea, he'll definitely catch on somewhere. There's some egg on his face but the cache of being the reigning world series GM clearly overcomes that....
Timing is everything I suppose but its a shame Putilla bailed out before the job opened up.
I realized fantasy baseball wasn't for me when some guy named Trout was higher on the leaderboard than Maldy.
