  1. It 100% depends on the pitcher. If a guy has 4 pitches and can save some looks for the 3rd and 4th time through the order, fine. If a guy has shown you everything his has in the first 2 AB's, get him out of there.
  2. $14M max? I just wouldn't pay him 20M for sure.
  3. Ok, so you prefer fWAR except when you don't like what it shows. Got it.
  4. Disagree. He signed the CC deal and stated after that he didn't agree with it. He signed Pablo and Hanley for dumb money.
  5. He seems to be a very good leader and a mentor to Raffy. I don't know enough about Semien to comment if he is that way too.
  6. I prefer Bogey to Semien. Semien was really good in 2019 and 2021, but Xander has been consistent every year starting in 2015. Semien's career started off very slow and is 2 years older than Xander.
  7. Baez is a good player. Bogaerts is a criminally underrated player EVEN IN HIS HOMETOWN.
  8. You could get Kikuchi for $10M, but I think you'd be better off going elsewhere.
  9. Landscape is changing. We'll see when the $$$ follows. I just don't see the course correcting happening this fast.
  10. Baez since 2018: 13.2 fWAR Bogaerts since 2018: 18.8 fWAR
  11. You aren't going to find a good SP for $10M.
  12. Bogey is better than Baez, so I hope he makes Baez money.
  13. I agree that I think they don't have JD or Schwarber, especially if JD opts out.
  14. You wouldn't dunk your pizza in ranch then?
  15. The only football that is better in person is if you are at a top tier division 1 college game with a good crowd.
  16. We'll have to see. I think starters will still get paid the same. I think the middle relievers are just seen as fungible assets that a team can burn through.
  17. Porcello was so underrated.
  18. It's how I feel about the shift. It's just a strategy that may become passé at some point.
  19. Max is the "win now" move. A team like the Astros would need to do that. Maybe LAA? Dodgers just won a WS, so they might be inclined to let Max move on especially since they are still on the hook for Bauer.
  20. Honestly, I'd rather them spend extra to just keep Xander and Raffy signed. I like Schwarber, but I just don't know how much it would take to sign him. I think Castellanos would be a better pick up, but I think we could see a rotating cast of characters at DH once Casas is promoted this year.
  21. I think the "third time through the order" talking point has firmly stuck it's flag in the ground. I think most fans get it now.
  22. Ray is a very unique case. He was a CY pitcher this year, but it's hard for me to see him repeating that performance.
  23. That's just buzzarding.
