    They shouldn't sign any veteran starters.

    How many hitters going into free agency have had their numbers artificially suppressed relative to Judge because they didn’t get to use a juiced ball, potentially costing them millions of dollars?
  3. formermav43
    Why might it matter that a more lively ball-which means more likely to be hit for a home run-was apparently used only in regular season games featuring a guy who happened to be chasing a single season home run record (and who also happens to be playing for the league’s highest profile team)? Hint: it doesn’t have anything to do with the outcome of a particular game.

    No. Seemingly for Yankees games in general, particularly towards the end of the season (when he was chasing the record). MLB Used Two Balls Again This Year, and Evidence Points to a Third (insider.com)

    4 years at $17/yr is right on the fangraphs crowdsource prediction (and is below what Clemens projected for AAV). If you have been wishing for Contreras, you should know that’s what it’s going to take.

    I thought that was his point. *Most* teams do after just a few guys.
  7. formermav43
    Meh. That could be about literally anything.

    None. Abreu’s the superior player, and making less than $3mil/year more. If anything, that makes the Abreu deal look even better. The extra year might backfire, I guess, but the AAV is right in line with projections, while Bell looks like a big overpay. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-top-50-free-agents/

    Fair enough. I don't.

    "Belong" is an interesting way to phrase it. If the 12 team format were in place this year, for instance, you'd have teams like Kansas State and Utah in. Do you think they belong on the field with Georgia or Michigan?

    Which is again why giving a guy with one good season in his career 8 figures for the next 3 years was probably not a great move.

    Texas also beat the #1 team in the country.

    I don’t know that he would be. He has an additional year of team control, is a better defender than Reynolds, and has the added bonus of being your backup catcher if you want. Reynolds bat is better, but Varsho’s is still above average. For what it’s worth, baseball trade values rates him as more valuable than Reynolds.
  15. formermav43
    Varsho would be a great addition, but I doubt he’d be cheap.

    It’s never been that way in the illustrious 9 year history of the playoff…great point.
  17. formermav43
    You think so?
  18. formermav43
    Like that.

    I also think Garcia is generally underrated. But I think it’s Urquidy, not Brown, that fans tend to overrate.
  21. formermav43
    Fwiw, baseball trade values accepts the deal. It’s almost exactly equal in value by their calculation.

    He contributed more than Gurriel. Diaz put up .6 fWAR, 1.0 bWAR in only about 90 games. Gurriel was negative in both. I guess you can argue he won’t be as big a negative if he’s only playing part time, but that’s offset by trying to play him at positions he’s incapable of defending (Diaz is average or better everywhere but SS). Even if you don’t want to sign anyone else, it’s a worse idea than seeing what a prospect can do or even just bringing Diaz back. It’s irrational.
  23. formermav43
    I don’t care about the money, because I don’t think that’s enough to keep them from adding anyone else they want (especially if Crane is serious about going over the tax threshold if needed-I assume his deal is only 1 year). The bigger problem is it’s a horrible use of a roster spot.

    Did you miss the one 2 weeks ago?

    The unwritten rules are confusing when it comes to what sort of cheating is allowed.
