Besides waiting for your article, do you know why his HR/FB has been so ridiculously low? Is it his ballpark, or the league in general?
-
Well Peralta is a possibility for the Cubs for sure. I say an opt-out because if I were him and had a off year and was still in prime age i'd want an opt-out, especially with the very recent velo bump I have no idea how much teams will pay. He's a weird case.
-
Seiya? Wow, good for him.
-
I think Peralta will demand an.opt-out. Lots of possible variance on Peralta and he won't come cheap, I have doubts the Cubs sign him. I don't even think the Cubs need a huge correction on the SP they target. Just would be nice to get 1 or 2 top end types along with their usual signings. They did get Stroman before the last lockout so I think Jed will be swimming in the deeper waters for SP. I suspect most of the quality SP besides Skubal will be signed before the lockout again so coaches etc can get to work on them. Skubal doesn't need any help anyways lol.
-
Skubal probably signs after the new CBA is signed. Dodgers will probably go after him if the new CBA makes it still possible. Ohtani may not pitch next year and Betts/Freeman are probably age-regressing.
-
I checked his game logs. He was throwing just as hard his previous start, and his velo was almost as fast his last couple of regular season starts. But I'm weary of the stats for any seasons for any player while in a Brewers uniform. His stock has risen though.
-
The story is funny.
-
BAHAHAHA.
-
Unlike last year the Brewers have been really good all year. Didn't need a ridiculous hot streak this time.
-
I'm very weary of Bauers based on 1. lack of track record, 2. career year at age 31, and 3. the Brewers overachiever factor. As 1908 said someone will overpay. Certainly give him more than Hoyer would be willing to pay based on the risk involved. If he had another full season hitting well on a non-Brewers team then id take a closer look. I assume the projections next year will show a big drop, probably closer to 2025 rate stats, maybe a little higher. I don't even know how well he plays defense especially corner OF.
-
Yes. They could also make a trade however.
-
There's some interesting buy-low SP this winter. I think they'll grab a couple of those along with some more reliable SP.
-
I'd like to see Cleveland win it all.

You can't spell "happy" without "happ".

Apparently the Rooftop Freeloaders Are Still a Thing

Ah ok thanks for explaining. -

Stratos replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Not sure i understand. Are you saying some people (like yourself) don't like rooftop owners? If so, why? Genuinely curious. -
He had around 145 PA vs LHP last year. Hard for anyone to draw conclusions based on that sample size. Unless you could drill down and see a big dip in bat speed batting RH or something else physical.
-
Happ's wRC+ against RHP was 127, the same as ever year the last several years. He hasn't regressed and just had really bad year vs LHP, which is subject to small sample size variation. That said, he is entering the typical age regression years. On a shorter deal id take him back in a second.
-
I didn't like look into any underlying metrics like you, but just looking at the other stats, Sato looks similar to Murakami without the high walks. His hitting tool seems to be just power, so there's lots that can go wrong there. I'm not that interested.
-
I agree with you. However, when I think about it, if they did trade Swanson, stick Nico at SS. and put maybe Shaw at 2B it would free up a lot of money. Enough money where it wouldn't hamstring this team elsewhere to go after someone like Skubal. That said, 1. it's probably a downgrade in WAR on the middle infield, and 2. It very likely doesn't happen, and 3. I'm not even sure i'd do it anyways
-
??? Dansby's arm strength is terrible but he makes it work.
-
Won't they have the lockout to find any new coaches, if it takes that long?
-
Does he deserve it though? I wouldn't really care if he got canned or not,
-
The Cubs could use a few more good pre-arb players so we can spend more on pitching Would be nice to fill our corner OF with those types. Probably Shaw/ Ramirez/Alcantara next year in one position. Maybe by sometime next year our other minor league OF can step up. If I were Jed i'd explore a trade for a young MLB-ready corner OF with an arm that could play in RF. Someone better than Alcantara. If they resign Happ I can't see Shaw's arm playing well in RF, he's more of a LF. Shaw's range would play in RF though and could make up for that a bit. I'm willing to trade Shaw with Ramirez on the team.
-
Skubal might sign after the lockout anyways given the money involved.
