  1. The steroid argument is always a wildcard and the one reason Bagwell took too long to get in even though no accusations were levied against him at the time. I think HOF voters will start to care less and less about the steroid issues and Clemens, Bonds, ARod, et al will all be in (and rightfully deserve to be). I like Edgar. He should be in the HOF. I just like Papi better. With Edgar, he hit and played 3b a little but didn't bring much else. Papi hit a s*** ton, had so many memorable heroics, won 3 WS, was a mega superstar who was always smiling and was the face of one of the most important franchises for over a decade. I think stardom plays a bigger role in a guy being elected to the Hall of FAME. I don't believe Edgar put butts in the seats. The only guy I don't want to see in the HOF is Rose who just turned into an absolute grifter.
  2. I think Chavis missing out on AFL time due to injury is a big issue. This guy is always hurt. You can't develop when sitting on the bench. I think Dalbec isn't really a Cora guy (too many k's) so he could be trade fodder, but I'm not sure sticking with Chavis will net you anything on this major league roster. I'd rather Dalbec in a some sort of DH/3B platoon on my bench than Chavis who is a worse defender and can't stay healthy.
  3. I'm not worried about Dalbec's glove. I want to see the swing and miss of his bat not get worse as he progresses into the upper minors.
  4. Kiermaier was also coming off back to back 4 win seasons. Maybe the bigger issue will be NYC and LAD driving up prices this offseason and increasing player value going forward? We'll see. Let's see what type of dollars AJ Pollack gets and then we can see what the ceiling for JBJ would be.
  5. I still believe that a market for JBJ doesn't develop the way people think and that there is a very good chance he stays at $10 AAV.
  6. Overpay to keep Mookie and Xander IMO. Then you still have a core of Mookie, Xander, Devers and Benintendi which is basically what the entire top of your lineup will look like in 2 years.
  7. Do the Sox win in 2013 without Papi?
  8. Papi has 230 more HR's, 200 more R's, 500 more RBI. Sure, Edgar got on base more, but his peak era was during the 95 - 01 which was also the peak era of scoring in baseball. Wonder what Papi's numbers would have been like then.
  9. Hard pass at $15M. I don't think he gets higher than $12 and I'd rather him to be at $10.
  10. "It's almost Thanksgiving" and DESPERATE DAVE has yet to make one move. WTeFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
  11. He was hot garbage.
  12. Chavis Dalbec Casas D Hernandez Houk Mata Flores Feltman
  13. Platoon at 3b? Maybe. Devers to 1b? Hell no.
  14. Pumping up trade value?
  15. He's spent his whole life having people tell him his s*** doesn't stink. He's not worth $30AAV. Any team that pays him that deserves to lose.
  16. + 5 Intangible Asset to Youk + 5 Intangible Asset to JBay + 3 Intangible Asset to Yeszir
  17. It's a shame that Pablo and Hanley didn't work out. They would have been fun as hell to watch.
  18. I think he should be probably ranked 9th or 10th. I'd put Feltman ahead of Groome right now. Just because Groome is ranked too high doesn't mean the system is completely void of talent.
  19. That's what my post infers.
  20. The hate FL is getting today ignores the fact that yesterday they banned greyhound racing, reinstated voting rights for 1,000,000 people and banned offshore drilling. But NJ is giving us that great human being Bob Menendez. Moral of the story, clean up the s*** in your own yard before complaining about the dogshit down the street. ...and that concludes mvp's quarterly political opinion post
  21. If Pablo was actually productive and played.
  22. Championships: making madstorks extinct since 10/29/18!
  23. This team was so f***ing good this year that nobody is posting the past few days. There is barely anything to talk about since we are all in the afterglow of one of the most dominant MLB teams of all time.
  24. Being "valuable" has nothing to do with being MVP. If so, Trout wouldn't sniff the MVP since his team still would have been below .500 without him. It's always been about who the best player was regardless of who his teammates were. Betts was the best player by almost any metric. He should easily win.
  25. I blame Steamer and Schiraldi, not Buckner.
