  1. I always liked Vargas's potential, but for $6.5M to get a guy who is proven, is more versatile and only 3 years older? Seems like a no brainer of an upgrade.
  2. I don't see how you can say they got burned and this was stupid and a failure without any future knowledge of what is going to happen with him.
  3. I am the commish of a league that has been going on for nearly 8 real life years and in-game we just finished our 21st season. Fully fictional league with 30 teams. I love the game. We have a few teams open if anyone is interested into dipping into the online league world, it's fun and we have a lot of good guys.
  4. In the next 4 years Greinke is making: Age 34: $34M Age 35: $34.5M Age 36: $35M Age 37: $35M 144/6 for Darvish only comes out to $24M a season and would take him through age 36 just for reference
  5. I'd rather take Darvish and keep the prospects and not to mention Greinke is already 34.
  6. Plus the deal is only for $4.5M. If Rodney ends up getting the $6, he hit incentives, which means he was probably at least semi-valuable this year.
  7. He wasn't as bad as his ERA was last year. 4.23 ERA compared to a .303 FIP and struck out 10.6 per 9m, but he will be 41 next year.....
  8. I'm a Rogers believer. He has the stuff but tend to think he he over pitches and over things out there. Outside of an awful month of July he was pretty damn dependable last year, I'm going to predict he turns a corner this year
  9. It's confirmed. Sad, sad day for baseball.
  10. This isn't GM of the year, it's manager of the year.
  11. Where would you put De Leon then? A 25 year old with 25 IP of major league experience with arm problems. Better than a 4-5 back end starter? Dozier made $6M this year and$9M next year...where is the $12-15M coming from? If we wanted to shed Dozier's salary to sign pitching that's one thing but the guy has been nearly a 5 WAR played for 4 years running for his production.........is extremely cheap.
  12. I got 40. Man there were a lot of different pitchers used. Hit all the position players, even though I thought about Goodrum for way too long.
  13. Lock him up. The risks outweigh the rewards by going year to year. All it would take 1 year in the next 3 for Sano to harness his potential and put up 50 HR, 130 RBI with a .380 OBP and OPS of .900 for his price to go up dramatically. Health will always be a concern, but we should all know players of his talent don't come along very often.
  14. Even if that was the case, the Twins were not in any hurry to deal him. It's not like he was a pending free agent after this season. It was more based upon....was 2016 a career year outlier or Dozier was he improving as a player? Even if the Twins would have won 70 games this year if Dozier put up the exact numbers that he did, I don't think it would have changed anything.
  15. Fun thinking...but how plausible? I say either A) Start Sano the majority of the time and retain Esco for when he DH's. Sign Moustakas if he hits FA and move Sano to DH full time.
  16. It's a long season. Celebrate while you can and get back to work. Bring on the bubbly!
  17. Yep, gotta agree. At first when I saw they were letting him go I felt bad....then the more I thought about it, I can't imagine why he would wnat to stay.
  18. Little early to be declaring them winners. Sale is having a phenomenal year, but both teams knew he was an elite starter, so it shouldn't be surprising, he has had 5 straight years of Top 5 Cy Young voting. Kopech had a great year in AA and is only 21 and Moncada after a super slow start is starting to show why he was a top prospect over the past month. The other two pieces haven't advanced past A+ ball yet. A lot of time left to decide this one.
  19. I hate the Yankees so much....so, so much. What a demoralizing series.
  20. He has 5 passed balls on the year which in the realm of things is excellent. Are people mixing him up this season with Gimenez who has allowed 12? I know the one last night sticks out, but really passed balls with Castro have not been a problem this season.
  21. What are the odds this one gets played? It's gotta be a good sign that it hasn't been canceled by now, right?
  22. For a visual
