@alexspeier Rehab update: James Paxton is throwing a bullpen session
-
Seems like he can hit. Seems like he can field well enough to at least play LF. Maybe he'll make the "unnamed" scouts and execs look dumb? Maybe not.
-
ACTUALLY, he's only a DH and the Sox overpaid for him! His defense is terrible!
-
From 2004-22, the only season the Marlins made the playoffs was 2020 when fans couldn't show up to games. Attendance did increase in 04 and 05 after their WS win. I think that fanbase just needs to be given a reason to show up.
-
If you haven't been paying attention to Masataka Yoshida in the WBC: @SmittyOnMLB Yoshida is 9-for-19 (.474) with a .571 on-base percentage, .842 slugging percentage, 1.413 OPS, two homers, one double, five runs, 13 RBIs, three walks and no strikeouts in six WBC games. The 13 RBI is more than any other Japan player has for their career at the WBC.

Hide it under a bushel? NO!
-
Could be a safe bet. Maybe treats it "more like a business."
-
Only the Mets have their numbers. We can deduce what is included in the Mets numbers when we look at what the Braves have presented.
-
That's why I put him as "maybe" because it would take an additional move. He's pitched well this spring.
-
Both the starting LFer and RFer were still playing in the WBC last night. We'll have to see how their defense can hold up. I agree on Mayer. He has a skillset that could rocket him through the organization. I'm bullish on his timeline.
-
Not in a galaxy far far away where sarlacc pits exist.
-
Sherriff maybe.
-
That’s Operating Loss. It ignores a lot of other Mets derived revenue that comes in and goes into the owner’s pockets (tv, real estate, etc.).
-
Cohen could absorb any sort of loss like that most likely. I'm just saying that their current payroll isn't high enough for the Mets to take a loss. The owners are just generating less net income.
-
We know from the Braves' filings that MLB teams make much more than 200M. He's not fronting any money for that payroll, especially in NY.
-
There are serious concerns with NBA dynasties, which existed long before the cap appeared in that league.
-
There are many pitchers that come back from long layoffs (Whitlock) and thrive. Why would this not be the case for Noah Song was just frozen in carbonite for the Navy? Sure, he's suffering from hibernation sickness. As long as Song doesn't fall into the sarlacc pit, which would certainly end his pitching career, he should be able to stick on the active roster for 90 parsecs.
-
Oh, you think he just forgot how to pitch over the past 3 years?
-
Since 06, the NFL has had 13 different champs. I think NBA has a particular problem that is not associated with the cap.
-
Since initiating the cap in 06, the NHL has had 12 different champs!
-
Vaz had 0.4 fWAR over 138 games in 2021. That's a pretty low floor TBH. The only year McGuire was under that was 2020 when he only had 45 PA's. Seems like another common moonsLav misconception!
-
I watched the Mexico/Puerto Rico game and the US/Venezuela game. It's been fun enough. The pitchers can be a very mixed bag. It appears that the better hitters are just hitting off a tee sometimes. I don't know how serious the tournament needs to be, but if some of the pitchers aren't going to ever show up, it can just be a quirk of the schedule going forward. Injuries happen at the WBC, but injuries happen in ST too. Gavin Lux is out for the year running from 2B to 3B. It's just the nature of participating in a sport. These guys need to ramp up for the season somehow anyway. Overall, I think it's good for the game. IMO, a few of the countries in the tournament shouldn't have fielded a team. If you can't even get 10 people onto the roster that were born from that country, don't let them into the tournament.
-
No, BASEBALL sticks out like a sore thumb because there is no real cap.
-
They are Mets fans. I think they want a Championship. I was fine that the Sox had to let a bunch of people go after 2004. I understood that my favorite player was going to go elsewhere. I wasn't a baby about it.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-positional-power-rankings-catcher/ FanGraphs put their positional power rankings up, starting with Catcher. 19. Red Sox Surprisingly high? I guess that's just the state of the position these days... McGuire/née McGee is projected to have 1.8 fWAR. Christian Vazquez is projected to have 2.1 fWAR, but makes 9M more per year for the next 3 years.
