    You guys are brutal. He's got a torn meniscus.

    How much safer is corner OF than CF?

    You can also look at Mike Trout's present status. I'd say he has officially become an albatross, barring a remarkable return to health. (Which is a shame, I hasten to add.) Baseball just seems to be much harder on the body than we want to give it credit for.

    Depends what rate of inflation we assume, of course. To be brutally frank about it, if you're paying a guy $45 million a year and the last 3-4 years of the contract he's useless, that's gonna be an albatross under any reasonable estimate of inflation. We could look at the AAV assessment on Ohtani's contract. The AAV is about 2/3 of what it would be with no deferrals. $70 = $46. So they have calculated that $45 million paid in 10 years would have a present value of about $30 million.

    You probably won't have to wait until spring to know if there's reason to be pissed or not. I agree that we can't freak about every signing. But the fact Kikuchi and Snell are already signed for pretty big money suggests that we could be seeing a much faster pace of action than last year. It might be a really bad year for waiting around for just the right deal.

    I do think the age benefit might get overplayed just a wee bit in some cases...Soto is young but he's also played a lot of MLB games, been through the grind of long seasons, hasn't missed many games...all that might age you just a bit in itself.
  7. Bellhorn04
    15 might be the max before MLB starts to consider it a tax dodge (AAV spreader).

    Crochet had the big bad peripherals this year, that's why he's a hot commodity.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Abreu/DHam/Wink = the 2024-2025 offseason moon standard package. 😀
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, but that's only because he's the true unicorn, a player who excels at everything...

    Stop it! (LOL) How can Pivetta get $100 mill+ just one season after Snell and Montgomery got stiffed? Did Boras really torpedo his clients that badly? I thought maybe the Snell/Montgomery stiffing meant teams were getting a bit more leery of handing out megabucks to pitchers. Kikuchi seems to have been revalued upwards based on the haul the Jays got for him, and then he kind of validated it with the Stros.

    Based on pure offensive numbers, Manny is a pretty good comp. Without digging into it, I'm guessing his WAR took a pretty big hit from bad D.
  13. Bellhorn04
    How massive are you thinking?
  14. Bellhorn04
    He chocked (sic) when the Mets needed him most. 😉
  15. Bellhorn04
    Pitchers are different. We've become accustomed to them having strange and frequent injuries.
  16. Bellhorn04
    If the Dodgers sign both Soto and Sasaki, I think it will impact the game itself in a bad way. The other 29 owners will be pissed and they'll try to figure out how to address it in the next CBA. Major, major yuck.
  17. Bellhorn04
    He declined an offer, but I think he's getting a bad rap on it. He said the offer wasn't enticing, but he also said he knows he has to improve in certain areas to earn a bigger offer.
  18. Bellhorn04
    If they let us down this time, we'll all be ballistic.
  19. Bellhorn04
    It's kind of a relief to see that others are even more cynical than me. 🙂
  20. Bellhorn04
    I must say, Casas is becoming a textbook example of how fast you can go from highly touted prospect to "trade him while you can".
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, pretty incredible player, image largely undone by his steroid use, weird personality and number of postseason flops. His 2009 postseason should have put it all to rest, but that too is tainted by steroid suspicions.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I have to ask Brock if they can get a better picture of Kyle Teel up on the front page. He looks like Gomer Pyle in that picture.
  23. Bellhorn04
    They've certainly earned the skepticism.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's more guaranteed money than 2023 CYA winner Blake Snell got from the Giants.

    I never really look at '04 as the Yankees choking. I'll settle for it being an incredible comeback assisted by some remarkable good fortune, as if the baseball Gods finally decided to take mercy and pay the Sox back for all the bad breaks and dumb moves over the years. Game 4 Rivera blowing the save Game 5 a) Tito leaving Pedro in too long, almost Grady-esque in letting Pedro face Matsui with the score 4-2 Yankees and 2 men on. Matsui smokes a sinking liner that Nixon makes the catch of his life on. b)Torre makes the worst move of his career, bringing in Gordon instead of Rivera in the 8th. Rivera would end up pitching 2 innings anyway. c) Tony Clark's ground-rule double that would have scored Sierra if it didn't bounce over the fence. d) The adventures of Wakefield and Varitek. Game 6 a) Schilling's amazing recovery or whatever you want to call it. b) The umps getting it right twice without replays.
