    My bold prediction *last season* was that Little would be closer by the end of last year. All aboard!

    Vance Law?
  3. Bull
    Maybe, but not based on today. He was get squeezed. Padres we’re not chasing.

    Just bumping this thread to see if anyone has found a workaround to see the games in Japan. The free T-Mobile mlbtv isn’t available until the 25th this year.

    Can we add a “?” or puzzled emoji reaction? Until then I’m going use the laughing emoji as a lol wut.

    Definitely de Jesus. It was the shape of the nose blob that gave it away for me.

    But I'm sure you see that the two are inextricably tied. No one hopes that their favorite player strikes out, but that's a strawman; now on is saying that. The point is that the same behavior that leads to harder contact also leads to more strikeouts. So the strikeout RESULT is not as bad because it is part of a PROCESS that leads to greater results more often. Though I'd suggest that Anthony Rizzo's going for contact with 2 strikes is an interesting balanced approach.

    But it’s not just home runs, it’s hard hit balls you’re looking for. A ball sneaking through the infield at 98mph instead of grounded weakly at 78 mph, a double in the gap instead of a looper to the shortstop. But then sometimes it’s a swing and miss instead of a weak grounder or looper. And sometimes it’s a line out screaming into a rightfielders glove instead of a bloop single. The results vary, but usually swinging in a way that has a potential for hard contact gives better results than weak contact.

    Derwood gonna Derwood.

    The most incestuous of results.

    I would love to see Wicks come out and dominate. If the knock is a lack of a third pitch, any chance he can become a bullpen lefty answer? If Little can gen healthy those are two significantly different lefty arsenal options.

    Can someone who can do it off the top of your head take that list (plus any other pitchers on the 40 man) and note who has options, and who has to be rostered or lost?
  13. Bull
    Still, I think he's worth mentioning above several names listed.
  14. Bull
    There are several pitchers on your list that I would put behind Jordan Wicks. I'm guessing the assumption is he'll begin the year in AAA.

    This will never happen, but I’d love them to go trade disgruntled DHs with Boston. Devers plays 3B 60% of the time, DHs 40%, while Shaw picks up that 40% and 40% at 2B letting both Hoerner and Dansby rest or DH. Give or take 10% here or there.

    hey-O

    Glove, fine, but don't expect him to hit anything until May.
  19. Bull
    While I agree with most of what you said, I'll eat my hat at the end of the year if the difference between Bellinger and Tucker is less than 3 wins.
  20. Bull
    If only there was a team that could take on $22.9m this year.
  21. Bull
    How dare you acknowledge reality?!
  22. Bull
    Let’s get some folks on the record before the contract comes out. 1. what is a fair contract? 2. what numbers represent “overpay” (give me 3,4,5, and 6 year contracts)? 3. What will the contract ultimately be?
  23. Bull
    Question for anyone: If you have to pick one 1. Mid rotation arm in trade for non top 100 prospects 2. Strong hit-first 1B/DH bench bat 3. Another high-end relief arm. any of these choices costing in the $10M range, which do you pick?
  24. Bull
    So if Houston re-signs Bregman, does Paredes get traded again?
  25. Bull
    They were kind of in the same spot with Tucker, Bellinger and the Yankees earlier. Nice to see them in those conversations though.
