Luckily you must have some good recipes to share by now...
-
If you were the GM of the Brewers and were currently looking at defending your NL Central title with Corey Spangenburg at 2b, would you prefer Holt or Nunez?
-
That’s what I thought. There are also some popular chain outlets in a lot of ballparks. I think the only money the team/park owner makes is from leasing the space...

Don’t be such a buzzkill...

I assumed the owner of the ballpark (which isn’t always the team) leased out space for concession and memorabilia suppliers, who handle their own finances regarding sales. Memorabilia suppliers likely purchase MLB-licensed gear, but that is a separate transaction. Anyone ever worked concessions at a ballpark? Who signed your check?

Ok here’s a fictional un-rumored 3-team trade that can be shredded using Steamer and fWAR and steamers at war. Atlanta gets Eric Thames (1 yr $6mill) Milwaukee gets Brock Holt (1 yr $3.3mill) Boston gets Arodys Vizcaino (1 yr $4.8mill) The Braves are looking to upgrade over Adam Duvall in LF. The Brewers get the infield help they are reportedly looking for. And the Sox get a closer who is exactly DD’s type - an oft-injured flamethrower. The biggest downside is Thames is right-handed, meaning a poor platoon option with Duvall. I doubt Atlanta views Holt as a strong side platoon for a corner OF spot, hence the third team. Atlanta could use switch-hitting Johan Camargo that way and use Holt as the bench role and Milwaukee could be cut from this deal altogether...

This thread title is misleading. When does the off-season actually begin?
-
Wait! I can pile on! Better to Shed him before to Long than be Stowers who just hid him away...
-
The lack of a need for the 40 man roster spot was probably the biggest reason the Yankees acquired him. He might have a great hit tool, but it didn’t show up much last year. However, his plate discipline was on display...
-
You’re right. That is a really bad pun...
-
You’re sure it’s not Shedward?
-
Torreyes has been around a long time with a lot of teams. Not sure why anyone would get excited about him. But this year, maybe we get the Full Throttle Hype on Tyler Wade...
-
He can be added to the Fun with Baseball Names list for building names along with Phil Roof, Matt Stairs, and Bobby Doerr...
-
He is less. 3 tools max...
-
No socialism!!! Take away their health care!!
-
Every source everywhere seems to say the Sox are not concerned with the luxury tax. So the decision to not exceed the highest threshold appears to rest solely with Dombrowski...
-
But that was with Sheffield, so the system has taken a big hit...
-
When did he write that?
-
As a pitcher, he might have a shot as a LOOGY. But it probably won’t happen until after the Sox finally release him at some point...
-
True. But given the amount of press coverage they typically get, I would imagine it’s difficult for the Yankees to maintain mystery team status for long...
-
History typically says the “mystery team” is made up by the agent as a negotiating ploy...
-
Shawn Kelley is a good pitcher. Not my top choice from the $5mill bin, but there are plenty of worse options available...
-
My tenth best option on page 16 of this thread...
-
Not really. There’s still plenty of free agents left. Cervelli’s propensity for concussions is another matter...
-
Don’t confuse objectivity with contradictory. I don’t expect the Pirates to trade Vazquez for our Vazquez for numerous reasons, all of which have nothing to do with fWAR and Steamer600. The entire proposal was geared at exposing that as the sole criteria for why Pitt would be disinterested, hence the sarcastic “Perfect trade” closing. But to drum up bizarre reasons like it’s one’s sworn duty was where it got comical. I do think Pitt would love C Vazquez and like to move Cervelli for 2 big reasons Steamer ignored. 1. At $10.5mill, Cervelli is the highest paid position player on the Pirates. 2. His catching ability is potentially limited due to his frequent concussions. I think they’d love Christian Vazquez. But they are unlikely to deal Felipe for him...
