    Probably needs to wait until the trade deadline to sell Jansen!!! Seems like an optimal time to move him no matter what the standings say!

    Teams were being bad for multiple years on purpose. That's not the same as "tanking" in one specific year for a certain draft pick. It's not "tanking" it's just being a really horrible team for a long stretch.
  3. mvp 78
    People were specifically referencing tanking in this thread in regards to getting top overall draft picks, not whatever argument you are trying to make now. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

    It’s the 1950’s again!!!

    ‘20, ‘21 and ‘22 are the 3 lowest watched WS of all time, so I’d expect this one to be no exception.
  6. mvp 78
    I don’t think tanking is an issue in MLB.
  7. mvp 78
    Lose with him or lose without him? I'm not sure he would have been useful out of the pen.
  8. mvp 78
    I think you wouldn't trade the money. The team with the bad record still keeps the extra slot money and can pick later in the draft. The better team just has a chance to pick a really good player they would never have been able to get previously at the expense of the rest of their draft.

    I know you forgot Xander. It's fine. I'm just saying that it's "confirmation bias" that people believe that generally Sox players do better after leaving.
  10. mvp 78
    Teams are now given a draft cap based on their draft positions. Would you do away with that?
  11. mvp 78
    Not a big strikeout guy and he had a bad 2nd half. I think they just didn't trust him after how he was pitching in September.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't think the expectations are unfounded. Younger players tend to improve. It's not like people are saying that Devers is going to turn into a GG defender. Casas should just be better at 1B. He was much better in the second half defensively.

    Springs spent a year in the TBR bullpen. He was converted into a starter the following year and had a career year. He blew his arm out at the beginning of the third year. Seems like a normal Rays progression?
  14. mvp 78
    So far, Bloom's drafts seem to be better than the previous era of drafting. However, it will take time for a real review as you said.
  15. mvp 78
    Xander's wRC+ was the worst since 2017. It's just confirmation bias. You see someone doing good and you remember when they were on the Red Sox. You forget all the people that either continue to suck or do worse.
  16. mvp 78
    It's "fine." The overall picture of that stretch is UGLY. We haven't seen the dividends from Bloom's drafts either. Maybe they all flame out too?
  17. mvp 78
    If I'm the Pirates, I'd probably rather have Bloom than Ben if I'm being honest.
  18. mvp 78
    Ben got another chance, but it took a little bit. Bloom will probably get there again just because he was able to build the farm system back up. Someone will value that.
  19. mvp 78
    Notable pitchers taken in DD drafts: 2016 - Groome, Shawaryn, Nogosek 2017 - Houck, Scherff, Crawford 2018 - Feltman, Ward, Politi, Fernandez, 2019 - Song, Murphy, Bell, Walter A very mixed bag and no high end arms aside from Song and Groome who didn't work out. Development issue? Draft issue? Casas, Espinal and Duran seem to be the only potential everyday MLB guys that were drafted in those 4 years. Espinal maybe? The drafts from 2012 - 2017 were pretty horrible in retrospect.
  20. mvp 78
    Moreno is a cheap mother f***er and isn't getting rid of Minasian until his contract is up. Bloom is probably a better fit for a smaller market like KC or OAK/LV.
  21. mvp 78
    The major changes were getting rid of a hitting instructor they had for only half a season. "Don't. Stop. Me. Now."
  22. mvp 78
    As long as Crag doesn't go 20 for 20 on pitchers in the draft, I'll give him a shot. Will he elevate Romero to GM? Or is he going to chose someone else?
  23. mvp 78
    Who would take Rendon for even a portion of his salary?
  24. mvp 78
    Sacrifice defense for overall better players. Also, Casas will be much better at 1b this year.
  25. mvp 78
    They interview in alphabetical order and then stop once they hear a good pitch.
