  1. I have never believed that Sandoval was signed strictly because of his postseason numbers. IIRC, the Giants made an offer to Pablo that was equal to or close to the Red Sox offer. If they had only signed he or Hanley, it would have been forgivable. Signing both was just asking for it. They were both kind of mercurial performers at that point.
  2. We know he bulked up between 18 and 19, supposedly looking to add power. It slowed down his foot speed radically. Appears it messed him up in other ways too.
  3. I wasn't saying it was better, just defending it.
  4. I like saying Recency Effect, personally.
  5. Not those misers.
  6. The Recency Effect has cost teams a lot of money, in other words.
  7. I think it's standard procedure in these cases. What else would you propose?
  8. Fighting words. Excellent!
  9. Seems to be intensifying. I'm sure Bloom won't sell too low on him. The teams that are interested know he has upside.
  10. You fellas appear to have even more free time than me.
  11. (Attempted notin impression) So just a listing of best players, then...
  12. In my books, it would be Xander except for one thing: that damn opt-out hanging over our heads.
  13. Velocity has to be a big part of it. Spin rate too, I suppose. (Also maybe zooming in on his face for any signs of discomfort...)
  14. It's all just for funsies anyway.
  15. I've always liked the term 'idiot tax' for the money governments rake in from gamblers.
  16. Not that's why this is a great forum - you can make jokes like that and not have your account suspended or deleted for some perceived offense.
  17. I'll call him that if he's still here for 2023.
  18. In the future we will look back and say he was a wicked bargain signing for 2019-2020, and a horrible overpay signing for 2021-2024/5.
  19. The only thing is, if we have a Wong on the team, we also need a White.
  20. MLBTR is calling it a 3 year/54 million contract. But with the deferred money I assume the AAV will be lower than 18 mill. Surprising to say the least.
  21. Liam Hendriks to White Sox 3/54 mill. Seriously? MLBTR predicted 3/30. What does this do to free agent prices the rest of the way?
  22. I do some betting for fun, mostly on football, on our provincial government's gambling web site. It's actually pretty amazing how well designed and easy to use it is. It might be the best work the government has ever done LOL
  23. It wasn't just a bad plan. It was two bad contracts. Both players hit the skids simultaneously.
  24. Which raises a question: has any player ever received a new deal basically in return for removing an opt out?
  25. In with Archie.
