    The best part is that he has a father and a brother that are also both named Rougned Odor. Jurickson Profar has a cousin who just signed with the Tribe Makesiondon Kelkboom-Profar

    he realized that he was the one propping up the team and now he doesn't want to play with losers

    i guess it just depends, would you rather have a player averaging 9.6 WAR/162g, owed 5/129 after this season, or 7.9 WAR/162g, owed 5/35?? after this season
  4. sneakypower
    yeah that's all it is, no new transactions for me

    Russell came in #31 on the fangraphs trade value thing the juicier bit was he's projected at 4 WAR for the next 4-5 years

    Hendricks i have no idea about because you have a guy top-25 in pitcher WAR in the span since he's entered the league, 26, injury-free, effectively free for 4.5? years and better in just about every measure of performance than Sonny Gray, who's assumed to be an elite trade chip...but there's always going to be doubt for whatever reason 1.5-years of Shark basically returned Russell and .5 years of Price & Cueto returned fairly sizable bounties, i have little doubt that if his medicals checked out (and he were made available), contenders would be in a bidding war for Jake

    i'm of course lower on Baez, but it's also that SS is becoming talent-rich league-wide where you can't see much more than 3 or 4 or teams where he'd present an organizational upgrade, and also his value drops a bit if you're forcing a move and you don't seem to hear him mentioned in any of the trade talks where other teams are setting a high line and he's the one they're after...possibly they conclude that he's more likely a losing player as he's shown to this point

    and FG doesn't span majors+minors, only an either/or
  14. sneakypower
    i'm too addicted to their arbitrary endpoints selector, which FG does have but not as cool/easy

    i get a tiny little bit mad every time i load his bb-ref & it shows "sparkles" for nickname horsefeathering brett
  17. sneakypower
    this is my best estimation as to what league-wide poll might show; we've seen GMs prioritize star potential over high-floor solid projections so i dinged AA, Baez, Hendricks some Bryant Rizzo ---- Russell ---- Arrieta Contreras Schwarber ---- Rondon Hendrix? ---- Soler Eloy Almora Javy Happ Torres ---- Edwards Jr Cease Vogelbach Zagunis Candelario
  18. sneakypower
    Bryant: no-doubt #1 Rizzo: top-5 Russell: top-25 Contreras: top-50 probably nobody else makes it
  19. sneakypower
    park adjusted, that's about 115 wRC+, more in line with .800 OPS in Cubs hitting environment fwiw

    Smyly's 12th in MLB for K-BB%; figure out how to reduce HR-charity (ditch cutter?) and you've got a stew

    context-wise, he's been kind of lousy http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2016&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=17&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&page=1_50 I don't believe net WPA includes either a position adjustment or any accounting of defensive value. true, but it better accounts for him [expletive] his pants whenever faced with any kind of runners-on-base situation his defensive value isn't really anything to sing praises for though

    In order to outbid all the teams that actually need a left fielder for Reddick, you're going to have to be prepared to give up a serious prospect or two for him. To get the upgrade from Soler/et al to Reddick, are you willing to give up 6+ years of someone like Happ? If you say we'll pay less than that, just keep in mind a team like Cleveland that may actually be one bat away. Do you think that the team is going to unload enough prospects to get a top tier reliever and a starter and bat? If not, which do you think they'll sacrifice first? Its an extremely valid point. Its kind of what I was heading towards when I posted needs and stuff earlier. I wanted to see the true supply and demand side of things to see where our best bets were. Even Theo has said he expects to add a reliever from outside the org, so that ones easy. But I think we'd need to open up the market to see whether its feasible to add both an OF and a SP on top of that. Or which one has the best chance to give us help for a slightly cheaper price. My legit guess at what we're dealing away...... Baez Soler Candelario Vogelbach Torres 2 of Zagunis, Caratini, and McKinney La Stella I think Happ and Eloy stick around. So does that group of guys get us a RP, SP, and an OF? Obviously, it could. But its dependent upon the impact of the guy(s) we'd acquire. Also, if we actually moved all or most of that group. forgot one
