  1. There’s actually a decent market for Bradley right now. The CF free agent market is depleted, and the trade market is headlined by Bradley and Starling Marte. Bradley has the disadvantage of having one year left and being represented by Scott Boras. Marte is controlled for longer, but there are questions surrounding his ability to even play CF anymore. The Diamondbacks and Mets are two teams currently looking for CF help...
  2. That happens all the time there. Any real life trade gets posted. Many don’t work out with their numbers and requiring “fudging” by adding money. A lot of them that don’t work out are actually pretty close. Sometimes the values they use just are not realistic. But sometimes GMs make stupid deals, which isn’t really their fault. If the website existed at the time, I’m 100000% positive it would have never accepted that Shelby Miller-Dansby Swanson trade. But that wouldn’t be a flaw. The whole world knew that was a bad trade except one guy. Unfortunately for Diamondback fans, that one guy was their GM at the time (Dave Stewart, I believe.)
  3. To me the most overvalued player on that site is Barnes. That’s a lot of surplus value for a relief pitcher who cannot pitch on back-to-back days...
  4. But they do factor in salary and future performance experience projections, which is all that site really does. The biggest flaw in that site is that’s all it does. But there is no programming logic in existence to account for a GMs desire to acquire or deal a certain player...
  5. If the Sox want defense at 2b and the budget is as Shaughnessy tells us Henry says, then the Sox should just sign Yolmer Sanchez. But otherwise, this doesn’t look like a position the Sox plan on spending money on. Tzu-Wei Lin and Jose Peraza might be a platoon here...
  6. The spending dry spell is over. Trevor Hildenberger is on board. (Actually it’s a minor league deal. So it’s a good thing.)
  7. And that everything they do is recorded for use against them ...
  8. Actually I think his case against the Yankees is pretty solid...
  9. I thought Tarpley was supposed to be the incentive to get a team to take Happ's salary. I guess you're stuck with Happ now...
  10. The overwhelming majority were AAAA retreads who’d all struggled and failed to impress in previous MLB appearances. Did anyone really expect anything out of Gorkys Hernandez, Chris Owings or Josh Smith?
  11. Not all that. It’s just easier. Plus it sends a better message to the kids about stealing...
  12. He was DFAd, but he’s still part of the Sox organization until he either gets traded, waived or refuses assignment...
  13. More so than prune-faced medical staff?
  14. Or... just call everybody out at second base...
  15. I don’t recall you making that statement...
  16. Not so sure. He makes a good case. After all, in high school he was the same height and weight as Corey Seager. (For those of you who have not read about this case, that’s actually part of his argument. Seriously. Go read about it.)
  17. I call it an apples/oranges comparison for the two best defensive players ever at their respective positions. Both should be enshrined...
  18. Epstein signed him once, too. And for a lot less money...
  19. So you’re saying they’re on crack and pot?!?
  20. I’m thinking Ryan Weber has some serious dirt on Bloom or Henry or both...
  21. Also he ruined the career of budding star Garrison Lassiter. At least that’s what the lawsuit says. But then, a lot of A-ball pitchers also ruined the career of Garrison Lassiter as well...
  22. You could make the same argument for Andruw Jones. Except the SS part...
  23. Is the cause for this exuberance the acquisition of Brice or the DFA of Hernandez? Both moves might be equally impactful...
  24. Well a lot of that is the open-to-interpretation rules and how some overturned calls can be problematic for positioning base runners...
  25. The simplest thing would be to enforce the existing pitch clock rules
