The Cincinnati Reds leader in SLG% is neither Votto,Bruce or Frazier, nor is it Mesoraco or Byrd. Zack Cozart and his .558SLG leads the team and all major league shortstops. His .931OPS is 21st best in all of baseball. He has a career .662OPS through 1774ABs 39 year old Alex Rodriguez's .299ISO is his best since 2007 and 5th best of his career. Minor League journey man Steven Vogt now has 9HR and 30RBI in only 119PAs. His 2.1fWAR is 2nd in baseball behind only Trout. His 1.098OPS is 5th in baseball. The Phillies are on pace for 86HRs as a team; the Dodgers are on pace for 258.
They can't afford him. The GM said they were tapped out after adding Cuddyer, how could they add another 20M annually? I mean Colorado can eat some of the money if they get enough in return, but it's likely not going to be enough.
If the Mets want to throw Syndergaard+d'Arnaud at us or Matz+Herrera+Molina then by all means. Until then I'll keep my 25 year old 3 time all star who is only making 8M on average over the next 4 years.
If I remember correctly, Japanese players need to fulfill 7 years of service time before they can be posted and last year was both Fujinami and Ohtani's first season, so you're looking at them both being posted in 2020.
How in the hell do you let Lebron touch the ball for that last shot. I'd rather give JR Smith a wide open 3 than let Lebron take a covered shot in that situation.
It's funny, even after graduating Soler,Russell and Bryant we still may have 5 top 75 guy,3 top 5, in Schwarber,McKinney,Torres,Almora and our draft pick. Then you have other guys like Underwood who still have a good shot at the back end as well.
I would be absolutely shocked if Dansby didn't go in the top 10 and quite pissed off if he was there at 9 and we didn't take him. Edit: Didn't realize you had two Bregmans and #2 was supposed to be Dansby.
