    Don't get much shorter than Madrigal 😉 But really, maybe they'll shock us and sign Bregman haha
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    I think if they don't get Chapman they will be fine letting Madrigal and company hold it down and bridge to Shaw or even Murray if Shaw doesn't work out. But I think arm strength is less of a concern to them than most people realize. They don't need to make the Rolen and Arenado plays, just be rock solid on the routine plays and at least have the instincts and make the right reads.

    Jed has to ask: is it worth $25M to gain the extra win or two they would get from Bellinger over Tauchman + PCA. Then factor in oncoming regression. The juice might not be worth the squeeze.

    Boras isn't gonna get it this time, calling it now. He projects for 3 war; even if we credit his approach and give 4 war, those types of players don't usually get 6/150, do they? He's just an interesting case because he's young enough to project decent CF defense for 3 years but you probably don't want to keep him there for much longer than that, and if you move him to RF or 1B the offense needs to be 130ish to be worth it, and its hard to say it will unless he defies the normally accepted age curve. There's a good possibility you are paying out the final 75 to a 2 win player at best.

    I didn't realize that stats for minor leaguers such as contact rate vs specific pitches were available. How do we find those stats? I'll be honest I don't like hearing that he struggles vs curves and sliders. I feel like we have enough of those guys already and teams just start to bury them and withhold the heat. Hope he can get them to adjust but it seems like that's how he'll be attacked.

    They really gave up 48 points in the 3rd HFS
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Jorge isn't much of a slouch but I really really want JD. Get a FB monster. His HR% was absurd last year.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty funny he said that; a few weeks ago amid the panic here I compared it to the 3rd or 4th inning of an IGT.
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Stated to be in the mold of by random evaluators? Yeah prob.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    We sure this guy isn't asking for ownership stake?
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Great delivery
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    No he doesn't and it's a pet peeve of mine when people throw around the "2.0" stuff as if there hasn't already been like 25.0 since that player played.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Holy horsefeathers that's a desperation move
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    The Brewers projection made me crack up. It was dismal AF, and if they trade Adames or Burnes LOLOLOL
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Triolo is 6'3 with an approach at the plate. He's not a slap hitter. Plus he's a 55/60 with the glove, that is significant.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Just to play devil's advocate, neither QB ever had an elite OL or anything close to it. The 2 times in my life where 1-5 was solid-great, they went to the SB in the window. They are just braindead when it comes to this. Cutler suffered from this horsefeathers too. horsefeathers J'Marcus Webb lmao.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Surprised the slueths didn't uncover all of this sooner
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Triolo looks pretty solid. No power but a really solid approach. Interesting idea.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Although I am not gung-ho about pursuing Chapman, they cannot be prisoners of the moment over something like that. Matt Chapman has not been below average with the bat in 7 MLB seasons and his 110 last year still counts even if it was due to his April and May. I hope they don't go beyond 3-4 years but I would still be confident that he would turn in a 110+ season, and that is very good.

    The Dodgers turned Oompa-Loompa Muncy into a fine/servicable 3B. I think a lot of this is unnecessary hand-wringing.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Have we shown any interest in Stanek? 98 avg on the FB and huge whiff rates on his slider and split. Easy to see a potential bounce back. Tom mentioned him; I think we should be all over him.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Stroman gets 2 years with a vesting option for a 3rs with Yankees. AAV unknown.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Suter's deal is 2.5 this year with option for 3.5 in 25. Would have loved to have him at that price. Stroman signs with Yankees for 2 years and a vesting 3rd.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Well if a lot of the concern with him lies in his arm, Madrigal just showed he could provide value there even with a noodle. I think they might not believe in Morel's instincts there, on top of the arm slot concerns.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Man you nod off at work and miss everything. This is a shocker. I am pretty confident the Dodgers will iron-out Ferris' control issues and will be a top prospect next year. Busch has hit everywhere but they also play in hitter-friendly environs. I like that he had a 72% contact rate in the Majors despite the high K rate and a 50% hard hit rate despite horrid results. Feels like he's gonna figure it out at the MLB level and be a solid hitter.
