Injuries and slumps will continue to happen at a pace where you may think that your team is cursed or hit especially hard by the bug, but its just a noticeable increase league wide trading blocked prospects is how you find yourself playing dudes directly off waivers like eaton and lowe or pretty much scrambling im a fan of hoarding, but i also understand that we have finite resources and holes to plug, so sometimes you gotta but its worth noting that campbell/garcia provide plus depth.

There has been about 30% contract inflation since story got 23.3 AAV, so that would put it around 31.5 / aav as equiv. 5 yrs at that amount, puts him in the high 150s. I think he does a bit better, but I think this is in the ballpark. I think the projection is solid 5 yrs at 175-200. I could see a little lower but not much. my prediction is 5 yrs/180.

Hes going to ask for 200 and settle for 170. Maybe 150-170 but hes 2x'ing his g'teed money and its why he opted out. Not sure if its here and not sure on years.

yeah, didnt he like miss an important game because he was busy trying to flip an antique car or something. Dude loves money. Surprised hes not caught up in a gambling ring. Knocks on wood becuse I love manny.

Bruins and celtics are not particularly watchable at the moment, either

I was on the fence on whether or not to submit Reese McGuire

Hes hitting the ball well this postseason for them

We paid manny 2m this year and will next year too.

Agreed. Also if we are competing with dodgers for the Japanese 1b/3b, max muncy is doing us a solid right now. Not like they have a DH spot to move mucy and/or freeman

I think that no amount of money JH could offer could compete with the opportunities that arise from being associated with ohtani.

Especially if he picked a righty-heavy lineup and i selected hunter greene.

I would destroy Gio.

The only bad statement is the one you left in the drafts

Sounds like a dodger to me.

He would have been a better fit on the chicken and beer teams. Singing drinking songs with his arm over lackeys shoulder. Fun team. Maybe not a very focused team. But a fun time.

your jokes arent bad, but your joke filter is bad.

I was once offered a beer by manny del carmens brother, eddie del carmen. we both bonded over how much we loved cocoa crisp. He told me that hes never gotten even a whiff of snootiness from cocoa about how cocoa is a ballplayer and eddie is a ballplayer brother. He said that cocoa is the humblest dude on the team and loved by literally every single peson he ever met. I asked if cocoa could join us, and he only promised that hed ask but it was a red sox/yankee game so he told me to temper my expectations cuz the game could go on late, or the team could be partying themselves if they won, but he said hed try to get cocoa to join us. The game went to like 15 innings and it ruined the plan. I did meet Luis Tiant at a hibachi restaurant in mass though. He pulled out a signed picture of himself and gave it to me. But i gave it to my uncle because that was his era and before mine and he wanted it more.

deadwood.

Im keeping ian mcshane though. Al Swearingen.

I assure you, the roster that is current. If next year began like this, we would NOT lead anything in doubles.

Keep dreaming, keep keep dreaming. For goodness sake. No, Peralta is not available. And probably neither is Greene. Aces on playoff teams are not available!

Ive got a cynical take for you. Redbird capital are fans of the cardinals (its in the freaking name) and are bitter about 2004 and 2013 and bought into our organization to get their "revenge is a dish best served cold" Seriously, whose dumb idea was it to let a "Redbird" group buy into our ownership mix when 2 of the last 4 freaking championships we have BEATEN UP on red birds! Its like hiring a company called "Mr Weasel" to protect your henhouse! Ever think this dude might be a plant for big weasel?

If it ever appears that im being unfair or aggressive or yelling at anybody here....I promise you that I am using you as a stand in for some of my good friends (who I lvoe dearly) My friend Joey, he is a season ticket package (not 80 games) holder. But he pays for like that 20 game package and goes to fenway. He goes when we are out of it. He doesnt stress about losses. Hell never cancel his tickets. He says "I just want a team that isnt embarassing". Every year, he has this especially optimistic view of all our players. He thinks we can (and will) beat the doders with casas and yoshida. He told me everyday that Verdugo was good and I was too hard on him. HE really wanted Justin Turner back and James Paxton and JD Martinez back. He thinks those were the mistakes. Every year we argue postdeadline over whether the sox botched another one or whether "they'll be fine". Every time we make a trade he gasps. He is perenially scared of giving up someone who he has grown to like. Ive been in fantasy leagues with him. Ive never seen him make a single trade. Cuz his guys are better than your guys. He honestly believes it. He panicks whenever one of his teams makes a trade. He always makes excuses for ownership and is always in favor of just rolling it forward. I love my friend Joey, I babysit his kids for free. I hang out with him all the time and we never bicker in person (we bicker a lot over text). I have this other friend who is just so optimistic its annoying. Every year he thinks the PC friars are winning the NCAA basketball national championship (he honestly thinks this). He predicted a super bowl for the patriots every year during the mac jones era. Every one. He really thinks this. He thinks everyone who puts on the boston uniform is awesome. I love him too. But I am arguing them using stand-ins. BUt dont worry , I give it to them too. And sometimes I regret how passionately I come at them.

Between now and the end of the week, I predict that I will alternate between rabid fan and indifferent analyst at least 6 more times. Maybe 5, we're alrady halfway through wedsnesday.

They *could* make a deal, or they can continue to have fun eating frog legs on their yachts and look at the roster and say, fixing this is not worth my sunday, Im going back to the caviar
