    try squinting really hard!

    Tyler 10:29 Which team has a sneaky good offence and which has sneaky good pitching Jeff Sullivan 10:29 Twins/Cardinals 10:30 or A's/Rockies, if you prefer kevinthecomic 10:30 Regarding the Jays, projections don't just look at how good a team is, they also look at strength of schedule. The Jays are almost certainly better than the Twins and the Twins almost certainly have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Jays. Jeff Sullivan 10:30 Even on our schedule-adjusted playoff-odds page, the Jays are projected to finish two games better than the Twins https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds?lg=lg&date=pre The schedule narrows the gap between the two, but it doesn't dissolve it

    The Man With No Name 10:22 Suppose you're a team and can choose between Lynn's and Cobb's contracts. Gotta be Lynn, right? Jeff Sullivan 10:23 Absolutely Even though I do like Cobb more, I don't like him that much more https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-3-23-18/

    Good lineup/roster. two things would make it better for me (realistic things...) 1. If they had signed a veteran RH OF, and some were there for signing. 2. Ok, this one is less realistic, if they had traded for Realmuto I mean, sure, Darvish would be great, but when that didn't happen, Lynn was a better idea than relying on Hughes, imo. A WC contendor.

    What is reprehensible about that? They aren't conllecting the revenue, and deciding how it is split up. Do you belive that if a MLB took less money, that the owners would pay their minor league (or other) employees more? Like, one guy says, "I'm going to sign for less money than I think I'm worth...." that the owner will send that money anyplace other than another MLB player or his pocket?

    THE Average Sports Fan 9:12 On the CF list, where you more surprised the Mets were 3rd or that the Twins were 6th? Jeff Sullivan 9:12 The Mets came up quicker than I expected, but the projections pretty heavily regress baserunning and defense, so I see how Conforto wound up elevated above Buxton. Buxton's best skills are likely to be underappreciated by a projection system

    People way overestimate the order, as having meaning. Other than trying to line up Berrios for Puerto Rico, it's random pretty much.

    Just in, Mike Trout is amazing. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-center-field/

    Congrats!
  10. Mike Sixel
    There are other options. If not, the team is in trouble.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I dismiss the likelihood, given how Kinley performed in AA last year, true. Not impossible, not likely.
  12. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side....the language seems to only be about not paying overtime....so it could be worse. Of course, players are still not paid for spring training, or extended spring training, or off season "voluntary activities", among other times they are working....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Buesnitz has options....that's part of his appeal to me. The team has set themselves up with very little flexibility in the pitching staff, the opposite of the Dodgers, for example.
  14. Mike Sixel
    That is not what I expected.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I did and didn't. I have some money in my IRA....so I've been "day trading" with it this week. Just buying AMZN when it drops, and then selling it. Worked today, not quite as well as earlier in the week. Oh, but the rest? crying emoji
  16. Mike Sixel
    League median....a RH OF would have made a ton of sense this off season. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-right-field/ Much more sense than Tyler Kinney, for example.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say it didn't matter. I literally said other things mattered more. That statement does not say it didn't matter. I even literally said that I didn't think there was no impact.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather someone with options be in that role. I'd rather someone that wasn't bad in AA had that role.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I might be in love with this post.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That is not an argument I've made, is it?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I think we are likely to disagree on the importance of every single person on the roster being useful.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Because they are trying to win this year, not audition RPs. I get the logic, I don't agree with it.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Because one was good in teh majors last year and one was mediocre in teh minors last year, and that's more indicative of future success than a few innings in spring training.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Given that owners are even more wealthy, I wonder why we'd ask players to "help" and not just expect businesses to pay living wages. BTW, minor league hockey players make more than baseball players, and get a free furnished apartment....and yet minor league hockey still exists. It's close to law. I'm sure some of you will be happy when I am barely here anymore....I'm good with that.
