    I was looking at PCA's contract more than anything. 6/115. Meaning, if Nico got 6/120+ he’d be making more than $20m/ year. That is where I’m getting hung up. I just don’t see defense demanding this kind of money around the league. (And please explain how PCA is a ‘glove first’ center fielder? I must be missing something.)
  2. JunkyardWalrus
    This just seems crazy to me. If Nico freaking Hoerner is the first Cub to break the $200m barrier, I will be gobsmacked.
  3. JunkyardWalrus
    I just don’t see a glove first 2b as a $20m a year player. I also don’t think, as many here have argued that Nico is worth the same as Kyle Tucker. I’m in the minority, I’m aware. I'm an old man yelling at clouds drowning in rain. But a glovey second basemen with zero thump doesn’t light my heart afire.
  4. JunkyardWalrus
    If his contract is more than PCA, I’m going to be salty.
  5. JunkyardWalrus
    Going with one less than Milwaukee. Until Jed proves he can win a division, he still hasn’t in half a decade. He has more extensions than division titles.
  6. JunkyardWalrus
    Not complaining, it’s a great gamble on my current favorite player. And yeah, I’m ecstatic when Jed quells my doomboner, not matter how abbreviated, for how he runs the franchise.
  7. JunkyardWalrus
    So… it’s 7 years and 116M (If including 2026 as part of the contract)
  8. JunkyardWalrus
    Two extensions seems ambitious, but Jed has surprised me all off season.
  9. JunkyardWalrus
    Hard to not think of him. Poor bastard.

    What I thought Killian was supposed to be (and was for like one ST outing a thousand years ago.)
  11. JunkyardWalrus
    I loved the Guz.
  12. JunkyardWalrus
    Anyone else feel he has a ‘run-you-down-in-a-cornfield-with-a-tractor-to-water-the-crops-with-your-blood-then-feed-those-crops-to-your-family’ type face? Not saying that’s how I feel, just, you know, something I’ve heard around.

    This we can agree on. Rampant capitalism is a sickness. Richest country in history and if you don’t work, you don’t eat. (Unless you’re a corporation, then you’ll be subsidized so CEO’s get their bonuses.)

    *If all three are healthy for extended periods of time.
  15. JunkyardWalrus
    Thanks (I also have now discovered Savant and can do this for myself next time!) If Seiya is out for any period of time, I hope they let KA have the first shot (of course, then he’ll have his usual ice cold April and May...)
  16. JunkyardWalrus
    Were any in the air?
  17. JunkyardWalrus
    Yeah, rose colored glasses sounds about right. I do the same thing with Alcanatara as well.
  18. JunkyardWalrus
    Then do the total WAR for 1st round players/Top 100 prospects who were traded prior to making their MLB debut. (or point me in the right direction if possible, because now I’m curious.)
  19. JunkyardWalrus
    Our 3rd best prospect comps to Zach McKinstry? Woof. I always thought there was supposed to be more there than a 112 wRC + and a 3 win infielder. *Again, thank you for taking the time to write this up!
  20. JunkyardWalrus
    Yeah, Kepley and Harshorn are fun. Would be nice to have some draft picks turn out. Looking back at their first rounders the past decade is pretty abysmal until the last few years. It would be nice if Alcantara could ever figure out how to not look lost in a batter’s box.
  21. JunkyardWalrus
    Is there a #3?
  22. JunkyardWalrus
    That’s who I was thinking of. Not sure how I conflated the two.
  23. JunkyardWalrus
    Last standing from the Darvish trade?
  24. JunkyardWalrus
    Bregman or ST games... can't have both in this economy
  25. JunkyardWalrus
    Kingery has to lead the team in abs
