I didn't know Charlie Mortons #'s the past 2 seasons were that strong?! Holy crap.
Maybe he is worth the money. Another neat tidbit - he lives in Bradenton, Florida, some city as me, and only 30 minutes from Tropicana field. https://www.mlb.com/rays/news/bahama...rs/c-302131226 |
Re: Waiting for Baseball
After all the talks, and all the anticipation, Bryce Harper most likely will be resigning with Washington...
https://www.mlb.com/news/bryce-harpe...?tid=282421090 ...and it's a big ol' fat contract, 10 year 300 million, that's big ol' fat. |

Re: Waiting for Baseball
Yeah, the research about a pitcher's effectiveness diminishing each time through the order has been out there for awhile and now we're seeing the big market clubs start to make major personnel decisions based on it. Elite bullpens offer more benefit for each dollar given how expensive reliable starters are, at least for now. After a year or two of this, though, it could start going the other way.
The Kershaws and Verlanders who can remain deeply effective late in the game are still exceptionally valuable, but it's pretty hard to know who's going to be that guy, and anyone believe that tier probably isn't offering enough marginal value over the guys on the lower end of the middle range, given the relief help you could buy instead with the difference in salary. |

Damn this is a boring offseason. I wish Machado would just sign with the Yanks and be done with it. If he chooses New York though you know Baltimore will Boo the living hell out of him.

DJ Lemahui (mispelt) just signed with the Yankees. Most likely they're gonna land Machado, and theyve spent a megaton of money rehauling their bullpen. The Yankees are gonna be scary tough next year.

Re: Waiting for Baseball
DJ is the guy you get because you've decided not to get Machado, I think.

On the flip side of the MLB payroll coin.....I so hope the Ray's land Matt Davidson. https://www.mlb.com/news/rays-lookin...?tid=282421090 |

The Ray's might land Avisail Garcia. If he can stay healthy we may end up hitting better than ever before. Seriously, the guys no joke.

Re: Waiting for Baseball

Re: Waiting for Baseball
Pitchers and catchers reporting is right around the corner! @Holden Pike. You in this year? I can promise you its not nearly as easy as fantasy football.
|
Re: Waiting for Baseball
Even our fantasy football league isn't nearly as easy as fantasy football. ;)
|
Re: Waiting for Baseball
I'm not sure if I understand what you just said. But I like it.
|
Re: Waiting for Baseball
I mean that most fantasy football leagues are a lot easier. Especially, like, 10-team ones.
|
Re: Waiting for Baseball
I love 10 team leagues! Maybe we should do one on the side next year just for fun.

Re: Waiting for Baseball
When's the draft? Look forward to this?
