    Let's assume it was consensual. He is still a man who willingly struck a woman and choked her into unconsciousness. No normal human being does this whether they're asked to or not. That's also ignoring that he has a long history of being hated in the clubhouse dating all the way back to his time in the minors.

    Mean while BJ Murray's 128 wRC+ at age 24 in AA is worthy of starting at 3B for the big league team, am I right?
  3. Tryptamine
    He put up a 124 wRC+ at A+ in his season where he spent most of it as a 20 year old. He didn't destroy the league or anything, but there's nothing wrong with that line for a guy who also plays good defense. It's far from "can't hit".

    Oh look, Keith Law is doubling down on a prospect(Caissie) despite him being a unanimous top 100 and mostly top 60 prospect in the game outside of him. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
  5. Tryptamine
    I don't buy for a minute that he wouldn't come to Chicago if drafted. With that said, I do strongly believe that Washington is going to do just about everything in their power to try and move up to #1 and bring Caleb home. In fact, I'd guess there have already been some pretty in depth discussions about it already. If no trade is made, I can't wait to hear what the asking price from the Bears was, because it better be big. 2,36 and 40 isn't enough.
  6. Tryptamine
    To finish around 10th in the conference and get knocked out in the play in game? Yes, absolutely.
  7. Tryptamine
    Yes, because as we know, Bobby Witt was the only one that Jed possibly could have thrown money at. There weren't and still currently aren't a multitude of FAs who are/were available.
  8. Tryptamine
    Maybe it's prospect fatigue, but it's going to take a lot for me to move off #1 even if it's just to #2. The more I see, the more I think the gap between Williams and Maye is not the toss up I thought it was just a couple months ago and actually might be somewhat substantial. I know this is ridiculous by the trade values sheet, but I'm seriously asking for #2, #36, 2025 2nd and McLaurin and I debate if the 2025 2nd shouldn't be a 1st.

    I really hate the Dodgers.
  10. Tryptamine
    Just over 2 weeks until spring training games start and almost half the FA top 10 remain unsigned.
  11. Tryptamine
    Not sure what has happened to the 49er's defense, but if it doesn't get fixed, KC wins yet again.
  12. Tryptamine
    Based on post Counsell expectations, I don't know how anyone could vote it as anything but disappointing, Bellinger or not. If they miss on Bellinger/Chapman we then enter disaster territory.
  13. Tryptamine
    DL Hall has stuff, but doesn't stay healthy. I'd wager heavy money he's a reliever. Ortiz is a good defensive SS, but I'm not overly enthused with the bat. He's a safe floor, decent upside guy. Frankly I can't believe they couldn't get a better lead piece.
  14. Tryptamine
    Someone's projections suck.
  15. Tryptamine
    I made my affinity for Harvey well known a dozen or so pages back. That would give the Cubs an absolutely fierce 7,8,9.
  16. Tryptamine
    Like a moth to the flame, any mention of Fields or Mervis will summon Kyle without fail.

    Chapman and Bellinger likely provide pretty similar value, but what the Cubs need now is offensive production. You can't have Ian Happ being your #2 bat. Happ should be the 4th/5th best hitter in a really good offense.
  19. Tryptamine
    28 years old, never seen any big league time and consistently carries a sub 9 K/9 and a very high HR/FB, He threw 24 innings against lefties last year and gave up 20H, 6ER, 3HR while striking out 25, sporting a 2.25 ERA and having a 1.07 WHIP. He's strictly a guy to throw against lefties as he had a 1.87 WHIP against righties in AAA last year across 40.0IP. This has got to be a pitch lab guy, because even his vs. lefties numbers were just OK in AAA.
  20. Tryptamine
    If Nabers/Odunze are gone I'd love to trade back to the mid teens. There's about half a dozen defensive guys in the 10-20 range I think are very similar value wise.
  21. Tryptamine
    I don't know if it's possible for me to care less about this Superbowl. It's the equivalent of a Dodgers/Astros World Series. There is no outcome I'll get any joy from.
  22. Tryptamine
    Lions putting it on the 49ers early.
  23. Tryptamine
    Underwhelming for sure, but if they add Bellinger it's okish I suppose. It really is a shame though, they had a chance to establish themselves as the clear cut power of the NL Central and instead they've chosen to ignore that opportunity.
  24. Tryptamine
    If they add Bellinger, I think they're around 87-88 wins, but there's going to be a good bit of variance with unknown quantities like Busch/Imanaga and possibly PCA.
  25. Tryptamine
    I know there really isn't a good answer, but man I feel gross going into 2024 with Wisdom/Madrigal at 3B.
