make it stop
-
Miller for sure
-
yeah i think here they looked at AVG / hitting streak and stopped there, because Zobrist shreds Murphy to pieces in WPA and WAR also Trout probably should've won, but i'm sure that's true just about every month -
cameraman on the Bryant HR was basically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
so apparently i'm nearly a year behind with my mlbtv feed...
-
he made a sweet ranging backhand stab in shallow CF on a low LD by Crawford to rob a base hit
-
[expletive] HR, should've been a K #RobotUmps
-
ok so ultimately tim & gr refused veto so as not to be left without a paddle this league is broken, you can replace me after the season
-
Castro's 19th/26 among 2B (who've logged 250 inn.) in converting balls within his zone to outs, and he hasn't really made very many plays outside of his zone (Cano's somehow made more than 3x as many) so it adds up to a pretty poor fielder he's been pretty average in terms of errors though so it can be understood if Yankees fans aren't particularly aggrieved at obvious blunders he's been making, it might be more that he has relatively poor reactions due to unfamiliarity with the position
-
eh, like you alluded to in the article, the Starlin Castro experience (which i still remember more fondly than i probably ought to) kind of taught us that no ground ball should be taken for granted
-
post-2017 pitching isn't something i particularly worry about; we'll most likely have similarly elite defense throughout with Russell, Almora, Rizzo, Bryant, Heyward? as fixtures and a powerhouse lineup upon adding Contreras (and possibly? the NL DH) so let Jake & John walk and just sign Tanaka/Garcia/Cobb/Darvish/Chatwood/Tillman/Pineda/Eovaldi/Duffy/Lynn/Buchholz/Liriano...there are at least a dozen guys that are perfectly fine options like Lester, Lackey and Hammel currently are and the year after has Fernandez/Harvey/Keuchel/Richards/Kershaw?/Price? plus, fwiw
-
it's like the Matt Kemp trade where the names sound ok but it's complete highway robbery in all actuality
-
i'd guess that xOBA might consider Bogaerts to be middle of the pack for their lineup in terms of hitting quality so far; he's floating on an otherworldly BABIP right now Ortiz & Bradley have for sure been better, and probably a case to be made for Mookie & Shaw, and maybe Pedroia
-
...or they could just promote the MLB-ready in-house option fresh off a .324/.419/.657 May; could go either way, really

Victor Robles has those sweet IsoDs but then you realize he's somehow been plunked more times than he's walked
-
i think the laughable part was how heavily featured KC is, but this is still slightly better than last year's mockery
-
i don't care a whole lot about Eovaldi but still mostly love the idea of trading Baez now (instead for Miller?) and then filling his role with any of a number of guys who should be freely available and don't figure to be much of a drop-off: Gordon Beckham/Marwin Gonzalez/Chris Owings/Andres Blanco/whatever have to think anybody in the Sands/Je. Baez/Tseng/Berg tier would get that done, similar to the Haren derby last year
-
apropos of nothing, i believe we nearly acquired Eovaldi in the Dempster talks, but that still worked out for the best of course
-
i more meant to communicate that i disqualify players who've been in the league for a short while but haven't technically surpassed rookie limits, like if Corey Seager still qualifies or whatever; so to omit guys who can now already be considered "proven MLB talent" so consider Joey Gallo among the list if you wish
-
i mentally omitted SS, because their value immediately gets badly diminished here for 2+ years which for Law's updated list, leaves Giolito, Urias, Glasnow, Devers, Benintendi, Reyes, Moncada, Snell, Bregman (ranked higher than WC) - Urias is tempting, but innings management is a worry for partially throttling his value - Giolito has a near-5 RA in AA with shaky periphs, but he has been un-dongable, to be fair...he & Reyes, Glasnow are all tantalizing before the F pitchers mantra overcomes - Devers is still just the faint dream of Cano - Benintendi looks like Flyin' Hawaiian with a little more bat - Moncada looks like Joe horsefeathering Morgan still, mostly for organizational fit and team-preferred hitting approach i prefer Contreras to all but Moncada and possibly Urias, Bregman but i have in the past stated preferences toward keeping Castro & Soler over eminently better talents in the end, so it might be hot-streak intoxication clouding my judgment...also i should include disclaimer that i don't have any way of knowing if Contreras has Doumit/Gattis-level problems with receiving that might prove terminal
