  1. Not quite sure where he plays, but the Twins have an interesting and deep lineup
  2. Cano will probably tail off but he’s done fine for the first half of the contract at least
  3. Jackie Bradley homered again.
  4. free agency ain’t dead yet
  5. Machado to the Padres
  6. Bryant and Rizzo should def be better, but I think Schwarber and Contreras are who they are. Can you count on Baez repeating his MVP caliber season? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the problem for the Cubs is they are relying on old pitchers not dropping off precipitously (Lester and Hamels) and guys coming off injury or down years (Darvish and Q). Their bullpen should be good.
  7. But at the same time, the owners are making more money. The tv deals are huge. Yet payrolls are going down! And teams aren’t paying guys past their early 30s but at the same are manipulating the service time of prospects to delay their free agency a year. It doesn’t smell right. As a baseball fan, I want to see the Harpers and Machados play. Frankly, I don’t care if they’re overpaid and some billionaire shmuck like Hal Steinbrenner doesn’t get the ROI he wants.
  8. I’m a big fan of using data in sports for use in predictive decision making, but college football is too random to build an accurate model. In most cases, you’re talking about 19-20 year old kids that are still learning and still developing on a weekly, if not daily basis. What occurred in the past is going to be less predictive of the future than a model for any pro league. The rosters are also giant so it’s difficult to predict and project playing time and samples are so small, it can be challenging to quantify actual player skill. I admire his intent in trying to quantify results and I think it does portray what happened fairly well, but college football is often random as fuck as we know, and I can’t buy into any predictive value being derived from S&P. I’ll leave that for aggy suckers
  9. That doesn’t sound ideal
  10. Only a minor league deal. Have no idea how he would make the 25 unless there’s an injury. We already have plenty of outfielders who can’t play the outfield
  11. In this age of college football, it’s actually not the dumbest thing. Just pick a new grad transfer every 1-2 years and profit. That’s the Lincoln Riley way
  12. It’s been a long fucking time since we could say this and mean it.
  13. One of these hats is not like the other
  14. Universal DH please.
  15. Haven’t been following last few days. Any chance at Lakia Henry or he gone?
  16. Manny on the South Side and Bryce in San Diego wouldn’t suck. Too bad the Pads blew their load on Eric Hosmer.
  17. That was the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. And I’ve read plenty of shit on TexAgs
  18. Another interesting piece.
  19. These are pretty rosy projections. Maybe the Reds do know what they’re doing?
  20. Anything for A/C in the summer
  21. He was right!
  22. Take it for what it’s worth but my friends buddy works for the Knicks and he says the Mavs are in “deep talks” for Porzingis with DSJ going the other way.
  23. I think you’re scouting the stat line a little too much on Tatis. He was the youngest player in the TX league by 6 months and mashed. He’s only going to improve on what was already an impressive baseline.
