  1. ok so Zunino is catcher Khalil Greene then
  2. The real one where they have two SPs under contract past 2017? When did the Cubs at least hypothetically trading for a SP (and/or pitching in general) become a strange thing to mention? it's strange to mention trading high-floor MLB-ready players at known positions of need next year for a possible position of need two years from now, which has been repeatedly addressed with affordable short-term deals to great effect
  3. why would this only affect one of them? Because one of them has more value tied to being a good defensive player at a premium position. but while Trout may turn into an ordinary CF, then a great corner OF - Harper will descend further down the rank of passability in RF, possibly even toward 1B...so i question that this favors either player
  4. did you not know that we have the best rotation in baseball right now, in what world does this make any sense I (kinda) said this 5 pages ago! http://gif-finder.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Anchorman-2-The-Legend-Continue-Ron-Burgundy-Will-Ferrell-Sorry-Gif.gif
  5. if anybody overtakes Trout (won't happen), it might actually be Machado now that he's at SS
  6. also, just four guys have a higher OBP than Willson Contreras in the PCL: three are 27 or older, and the other plays home games in Albuquerque (where he has a .606 OBP, lol) i think he's a top-20 prospect, currently
  7. it dawned on me the perfect Almora comp: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=12434&position=OF
  8. and it ultimately means no Kris Bryant
  9. this amuses me; DRS has him 8 runs behind Arenado and he's made 2 out-of-zone plays to Nolan's 26(!) but to be fair he's converted nearly everything within his zone, best at the position by far
  10. my waffling on Park, instead opting for Domingo Santana has all but eliminated me already
  11. Carlos Gomez (.182/.238/.248, 0 HR, 35% K, .293 BABIP) is Ian Desmonding his way out of any big FA deal...is this another Andruw Jones age-30 collapse? though, Desmond might now be Fowlering his way into a decent FA recoupment
  12. in terms of "i'm stuck playing these guys specifically at SS for the next 5 years": Bogaerts Lindor Russell Correa Seager edit: there's no right answer; all these guys are godly
  13. so maybe Addi is a 6-win guy already this season
  14. from August-on (including AFL), Diaz had a .348/.411/.634 line with a pretty normal babip (46 G) he might very well be a legitimately good hitter now
  15. so maybe Addi is already a 5 win player this year
  16. Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder are a combined -1.6 fWAR right now, and they are still owed a total $285M
  17. if playoffs were happening right now, Jorge doesn't even see the field
  18. he hit it better I bet Bryant's had a higher exit velo but not the launch angle!
