    It's definitely strange. He put up numbers in 2018 that match his career minor league numbers and match his rookie campaign as well. Nothing about his hitting seems flukish and if anything, it seems like his defensive value should improve if he's left to play RF alone where he's been roughly an average defender so far.

I like your Peralta suggestions better.

    Shedding a portion of Teheran's salary seems like an obvious thing for the team to do. They certainly do not need him, particularly if they are signing any free agent pitcher as they seem to be looking at doing.
    Well the Happ part of my idea appears to be moot. You're right that Kepler doesn't move the needle much. But indirectly trading Teheran and Fried for him helps by freeing up funds that can be used to go after someone like Happ.

    Haniger would cost a lot. I've seen 135M as a reasonable surplus value, maybe more maybe less.

    That's something like Pache, Wright, Wilson, and Allard

    Maybe we take Swarzak back to lessen the package or just to get them to pull the trigger

    The Steamer projection seems to adjusti his BABIP down towards mean for all hitters and really jerks his ISO down. Of the two, I'm not sure why they project the power loss. Seems early for aging curves to do that much damage.

    I'd think getting out of Safeco would enhance his power

    Four top 100's? Not even Yelich cost that.

    Right, they can't get it all out of prospects, most likely. I'm not sure they would get all that projection back in any event.

    If they can't get it from the market their choice is to hold and burn a large amount of that surplus value this season and risk a bad season that would drop it even farther.

    But my guess is that they will hold him to use as their version of Freddie Freeman.

    Allard is not a top 100 on any list worth a damn.

    Yeah, I'm not down with a Teixeira-level package for a non-Teixeira-level player.

    Mish.

    Realmuto % Opening Day 2019
    (Entertainment Purposes Only)

    Braves 35%
    Mets 35%
    Yankees 10%
    Phillies 10%
    Astros 5%
    Other 5%

    This could be the final update.

    It's crazy. I wish I knew what he was hearing. I'd still love Realmuto. Having Flowers and McCann for the pinch-hitter role would be incredible and a big boost.
