    wish we were as good at fixing the top of the 40 man as we are the bottom, but hey, marginal improvements are still improvements i guess. Death by 1000 paper cuts, is what they called the bloom years. But we're looking for something to be positive about.

    Not the OF we got for Vaughn is a win for me. They were like this dude was just picked in the 8th round of the last draft, is likely to stick in CF, super athletic, and has raw power but needs to better his hit tool to fully capitalize on teh raw power. Felt like a good deal for Vaughn Grissom who i expected to get waived/claimed. And now we've also repurposed the 40 man roster spot without parting with the aforementioned acquired OF'er Thats some good work.

    I assume that by fastball they mean the ball doesnt drop like our eyes expect it to and therefore it creates an illusion to the batter that its rising. Im sure youve been in there against one. They actually do look like they are rising! Thats not just an expression. My only thing is this - they use to call that "good carry" a term Im sure youve heard. Thats what it mean. It stays up, doesnt have the usual arc, and gives the illusion that its rising. Not sure why the term change.

    Youre not bad at it mr: "rumors of papi's decline have been greatly exaggerated" When Ortiz had a relatively rough 2008/2009 (for his standards) and the youth worshippers wanted to kick him to the curb to make room for this Chris Carter (I think theres been a few) https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cartech01.shtml And we heard all the "would you rather have a player in his 30s declining and making big money or a player in his 20s making min wage" and all those other WAR per dollars arguments then too (jokers were trying to attach a prospect to papi just so someone would take his "bad contract" when he still had 5 HOF years left). Some of us remember

    oh no, we suck again

    that would be a salvage.

    Personally, I still think Bregman gets above 155m.
  8. drewski6
    I think he thinks bregmans market wont warrant a comparable contract to alonso (his opinion , not mine) I thought alonso was getting 6 and was wrong, but I do think bregman is getting at least 140. He didnt opt out to get a worse deal.

    If we turned Vaughn Grissom into that CF who was jsut picked 8th round with a surprisingly sexy write-up AND a decent reliever* with the vacated 40 man roster spot, thats good work *Assuming the of'er isnt the return for the reliever

    You are making a fine case against polanco. My only point has alwasy been that younger and cheaper isnt always better. Story was better in 2025 than Mayer was, and that would not have changed if Mayer made it through the season. There is something to be said for having been there before. There is something to be said for maturity and professionalism. As I hvae suspected for a little while, we are more talking past each other than disagreeing. I am not , at all, trying to make a case specific to Polanco. I would be disappointed with Polanco. My point is that some people, maybe not necessarily you, but some people poo-poo every potential player acquisition north of 30, and Im just saying to those people pump the breaks on that. There are plenty of 31,32,33 yr olds that are still helping their teams win. They dont give the championship to the youngest team. If you build your team around guys under 25, chances are, you are not a championship team. Im speaking more generally. I dont even really like Jorge Polanco. I liked Placido Polanco more. But I am sad about Alonso.

    Im not as interested in polanco as you are giving me credit for, i am more making the case that generally speaking guys who are around 32 in age tend to help their teams more than guys who are around 23 in age.
  13. drewski6
    At least we have this guy ^
  14. drewski6
    hahaha, nice
  15. drewski6
    Not matching 5 yrs / 155 when we were his first desired designation is pretty unforgiveable. Im legit sad.
  16. drewski6
    my apologies, mvp. I thought you were being cynical. Didnt realize it had happened. I was on a work call
  17. drewski6
    wait, did i miss something.

    You are the one who taught me not to let the bloom years jade me on the breslow years. Maybe ill give you your line right back to you Yes, bloom would let orioles outbid him for alonso. But breslow and his recent glow up (yes, hes having one, and it started when cora gave him the voice of support vs early breslow when him and cora were passive aggressive digging at each other through the media)....Breslow gives polar bear the sixth year.....and my prediction those of us who are anti six years for polar bear will find themselves surprised that they are happy

    to me: its not going to be 2 bats = 80% confidence (or greater) its NOT goin to be 2 bats = 90% confidence (or greater) the capitalization of not matters to me, and its where you lose me. I think the chance that we get a big bat and a second bat that is not hoskins level is about 60% unless you are putting paredes and that tier in the hoskins tier, i dont think thats fair though. hoskins finished 2025 in AAA
  20. drewski6
    You really cant see Alonso and Paredes? You are this confident? To put NOT in caps?
  21. drewski6
    100% agreement there.

    To get better prospects in the package

    Well, I meant guys over 33 not over 34 because I wanted to count Freeman twice. Lets not small sample size fluxuations here. Freddie Freeman is not a tag along on the dodgers. He is not still playing because of PR or ticket sales. They dont need him to sell tickets. Hes been part of their core. Now going into age 36 season maybe that happens. But age 35 AND age 34 (thats two full years): OPS+ = 141. Thats my point. The north of 33 hanger-ons are certainly there. Getting that next contract out of PR and name recognition. But the truly great players are usually still helping their team wins even when they are north of 33 and Freeman is a pt for team drew.

    very correct on the 1-2% being massive though. Imagine how easy it is to go from perfect-perfect on a fastball to slightly late. We're talking a less than 1% differnce in swing timing. Could be a difference between depositing a 3 run jack over center-left and a loud foul. No hypothetical about it. Margin for errror that slim. 100%
  25. drewski6
    For sure. Some things are especially linked. SOme weird connections but are too correlated to not be true. Gut health and leg strength are 2. Mouth health is a weird third. But I have my suspicion that mouth health and dimentia are correlated through a secondary correlation of gut health. Physical strenght for sure, but especially leg strength. Maybe its "dont be bed-ridden" But 1000000% when either the body or mind rots, the other soon follows.
