i would have loved for the Cards to have made this signing, it looks like a pretty awful deal for the O's -

could've fooled me Well you were missing maybe the best guard in the B1G, haha. still hard to fall back on that when his sub scored 25

sounds like the Bears are in the danger zone

Schwarber was on pace for 44 HR this year and basically plays for free
-
he's in sweats if we keep this one within single digits, i'll consider that a success

like Kevin Siegrist?

you just love to see a team trading away their franchise player to appease a coach who'll wear out his welcome within a couple seasons

and KU is even better than that

pretty cool of Jim Caldwell to wait until mathematical elimination to start incorporating any type of offensive creativity in the playcalling and aggressive decision-making on 4th down...gutless choking dog
-
he's done nothing his entire Michigan career. This is the most unexpected outburst by a Michigan basketball player since Spike in the NC game. well, big men do typically develop much slower...but while i'd love nothing more than for this to be a kind of breakout, it might be more likely that the Illini (Beileini?) have the same indifference toward post defense that we do
-
160 or so at bats per year of poor offensive production is pretty significant when you're paying someone 20 million a year. From what I've heard Schwarber's minor league track record against lefties is rather good. If he can manage to put together an OPS of around 750 against lefties, while Heyward continues to struggle to the tune of around 660 or so, I'll be curious if there will be consideration of putting Baez in a Center Field platoon (atleast in smaller parks). i hate to tell you he's going to have like 400 or so plate appearances of poor offensive production

So fast before Tampa can try and take the offer off of the table. My love of dong heavy offense disagrees with that, though I acknowledge Kiermaier's presence as the best defensive CF'er in baseball and how valuable that would be allowing Heyward to stay in RF where he is the best defensive RF in baseball. With how defensive metrics aren't particularly exact, I wonder how much of Kiermaiers WAR value is skewed from flawed metrics? He was a 7.3 rWAR and 5.5 fWAR player last year. And it was pretty much all defensive value. Is it worth having a light hitting ultra elite defensive outfielder over an average fielding and above average hitting outfielder? EDIT: He was 7.3 rWAR, not 7.7 he had crazy statcast readings; (going off memory) he led baseball in OF throws over 100 MPH and had something like the 3rd fastest average max speed, right up there with some absolute burners who you'd expect in such lists i don't mean to argue that i wholeheartedly agree he's worth 3 wins or whatever from catching baseballs, but between his incredible physical tools and reading a (great) piece like this that illustrates his dedication and talent you get the idea he's indisputably very valuable all that being said, he's probably a bad fit for Wrigley imo

fwiw nobody with a strikeout rate above 25% hit .290 last year
