  1. I don't think the NL was underrated by AL fans. This board is largely populated by AL fans who mostly assumed the Dodgers were going to take the title almost unchallenged...
  2. Or because he receives other offers in the 6 year range...
  3. I'm not so sure I like the idea of moving Renfroe to accommodate Marte. Marte's 5.4 fWAR season looks like an aberration and he will most definitely be looking for multiyear deal...
  4. He's the best value out there, but tht operates on the assumption that he will do something he has always struggled to do - namely stay on the field...
  5. But will it be the longest offer he gets?
  6. I'm leaning towards poorly, with potential for disastrously...
  7. Better than Rodon?
  8. So the Marlins are expected to dole out a $340mill/10 year deal? Let me guess on the backloading. $5mill per for the first 8 years and then the final 2 years at $150mill each…
  9. And that call can still be reviewable. It's not even remotely the same call as the runner stealing second and breaking contact for a fraction of a second...
  10. For those who still love Scherzer
  11. Unless they were referring to the noise level emitted by the pen during the process...
  12. Not very well...
  13. There will be an umpire. And he will call it like he did before instant replay...
  14. Yes. Once you exit the bag's air space, you are in play...
  15. The simpler term is "pentagon"...
  16. A bit of recent trivia Who leads MLB in home runs over the past 4 seasons? If you guessed Nelson Cruz with 126, you're wrong. The correct answer is Eugenio Suarez with 129...
  17. I don't see the Red Sox non-tendering Renfroe. Of course, CJ Cron seems to get non-tendered and let walk every year despite hitting 87 HRs over the past 4 seasons...
  18. Rule 2-35 The strike zone is that space over home plate, the top of which is halfway between the batter’s shoulders and the waistline, and the bottom being the knees, when he assumes his natural batting stance. The height of the strike zone is determined by the batter’s normal batting stance. If he crouches or leans over to make the shoulder line lower, the umpire determines height by what would be the batter’s normal stance.
  19. Vs the demands of JDM, and more accurately, the asking price from Boras. I'm sure he is already crafting his offers from mystery teams...
  20. When does he become a minor league free agent?
  21. Where Baddoo would have been is immaterial and pretty much speculation. Whether or not Baddoo had TJS actually doesn't matter much, since there was no AA season in 2020 anyway. For his actual accomplishments, he posted a .683 OPS as a 20yo in A+ ball. That's hardly any reason for people to write folk songs about him. Jimenez was a 20yo in A ball with a .751 OPS and a better defensive profile. Both are those "toolsy" types that rarely live up to their hype, but often excite minor league talent evaluators. I could see Jimenez getting selected. Of course, there will be other toolsy types left unprotected as well who might be chosen instead...
  22. And the numbers associated with the positions he doesn't play, i.e. all of them...
  23. Once he is no longer above the base, he is considered to be running to the next base. The base "air space" is active once the runner makes inital contact until he moves past the base...
  24. And this is the proper solution...
  25. Could they really? No one wanted him last year when his price was clearly just $3mill. This year he will command a raise and necessitate giving up prospects or something to acquire...
