    They traded Teel, Montgomery, Meidroth and Ehrhard. They completely whiffed on a few high draft picks (Zanetello, Anderson). I think they've really improved the pitching infrastructure. I think the hitting side has stayed the same. The only difference is that they get hitters to succeed at AA, but can't figure out how to bridge that gap to MLB. It could be luck. It could be their focus on hard hit rate which pumps up numbers at lower levels and then reaches a high water mark at some point. Maybe something else?

    Springer pulls the ball, but he'd only be a platoon DH. Is he an upgrade over Jones or Romy? At least they can play the field.
  3. mvp 78
    It's gotta be the only reason people keep supporting him.

    Is tonight a bullpen game for the Doyers?
  5. mvp 78
    It's actually really bad for your legs due to sudden lunging (acl tears, leg strains). I wouldn't recommend Roman play it. More likely to get injured playing mini tennis than real tennis.

    Coddled. Will never take ownership of his actions.

    Not dealing with his problems in an appropriate manner is "not growing up." Having the mental health issues isn't the problem. It's that he's letting them linger and causing him to exhibit self destructive behavior. He needs to take ownership and grow up. He's dealing with his depression the way a 15 year old would, because he's been coddled ever since that age. Well, time to put your big boy pants on. Reality is here. It's true. You haven't been good enough. What are you going to do about it? Throw another temper tantrum and lash out at teammates, coaches and fans? Sorry, but time for you to put some work in.

    A Rockies unicorn. Usually, the argument is "well, he still has a good OPS away." When I've looked, all the big names had huge splits and then fell off after leaving COL.

    None of us truly know what Brez thinks because he runs a tight ship. All the leaks we hear are from outside his circle. He loves catchers. I wouldn't be shocked for him to upgrade at catcher. He probably wants more pitching depth. He'll try to get a value bat that he can plug in at DH, LF, MIF. It will just depend on what deal works for the model.

    I would complain if my legs fell off too.

    Harrison's fWAR is higher than Sonny Gray's. It exceeds the combination of Durbin, Monasterio and Seigler.

    You can't hide behind "mental health struggles" if you also refuse to do anything about it like go see a therapist. You went on Netflix and told your story about wanting to blow your brains out. Maybe realize you need to talk to a professional? You clearly aren't able to handle it on your own buddy! He's completely self destructive and there's not support system to real him back in because he doesn't want one. He thinks he can do it all on his own. Get some help! It's ok! It's normal!

    He's hitting off a tee again.
  15. mvp 78
    I don't know if there's much of a difference between him and Cheng. The only issue is the team can't workout with him during any work stoppage this offseason if he's on the 40.
  16. mvp 78
    He's a nice and personable guy, but he just has no self control. He's just a dude that has never grown up. At this point, he never will.
  17. mvp 78
    At some point, the return doesn't matter. My hat is off to the rest of the team for not piling on the dude. If they had left him in Sacramento, he would have deserved it.
  18. mvp 78
    I think the glove is about the same. I think Cheng has seen better pitching. Arias has the much higher ceiling, but could hit a few bumps along the way.
  19. mvp 78
    Park factors aren't solely calculated based on how many home runs are hit at a ballpark, but in comparison to how players play elsewhere. This means the visiting team are hitting more home runs at Dodger Stadium too. The home/away splits were nasty for the pitching staff last season (almost 2 to 1 HR at home).
  20. mvp 78
    Sometimes you win the moves you don't make. The trade deadline is fun, but can really hurt your team long term.
  21. mvp 78
    The Notin plan sounds like what I was saying last week SP/RP/LF/DH. I think the MIF market isn't so easy to trade for unless you are getting a glove first guy. Maybe they can upgrade on Cheng, but is it an upgrade on IKF? I agree that C is fine enough. Trade Duran???
  22. mvp 78
    You better have Nick on speed dial if they trade a bunch of prospects!
  23. mvp 78
    Sell Duran? Yes!
  24. mvp 78
    He's caught a total of 30 innings the past two seasons combined.
  25. mvp 78
    We know the reason: they were valuing him as a 6-7 win player. Nobody else believes he's that good.
