6/17... vs marlins
- Thread starter msstate7
- Start date
A 30 point increase in BABIP will do that to your numbers. Hopefully a team needs a 2B and doesn't notice.

Adams is only signed past this year, but for the sake of discussion.
Probably something like Sanchez, Sevi, Frazier, and Fowler at the very least.
I'd rather go off results than hype.

"You might not be able to tell from traditional park-factor data, but the new Atlanta ballpark appears to be much more hitter friendly than its predecessor. The fly balls hit by the Braves and their opponents to data haven’t been hit all that hard (“should have” resulted in .301 AVG-.846 SLG to date), but have actually resulted in much more production (.345 AVG-1.008 SLG, 137.9 Fly Ball Park Factor). In all of MLB, almost exactly 15.0% of fly balls hit between 95-100 mph have gone over the wall this season; 22.0% of such flies have done so in this new yard."
It's the new launching pad

To be fair with Judge, he was bad last year. Has been insane this year but hard to say if he'll be this good going forward.
Certainly doesnt hurt to ask for him in a trade for Freeman, hypothetically but i get sturg hates the FO currently.

Still think we need more data before we close the book on how the park plays. But the early returns are certainly what you are saying.
Of course you would lock up Adams long term and much cheaper.I Think now that Adams is in shape...this is the player he is. He is not Freddie of course, but he is more than adequate. If you added so much other talent (knowing the Yankees position player strength)...added with the position players we have on the way plus all our pitching...my oh my. I LOVE Freddie, but maybe you get three future all stars for one present (when you know most of his contract will be burned in non contending years). It's worth a thought.

Mashin' to Mississippi
Also drafted Victor Caratini that year who's playing well in AAA for the Cubs....traded him for Bonifacio and James Russell
Considering how Fulton Co played I suspect that this is just the way it is. Atlanta was the highest stadium above sea level until Coors and then Chase Field was built.
It is interesting to think about trading Freeman. Getting Adams kind of shows how its easier to find a hitter that doesn't hurt you that much on defense.
If you can trade Freeman for two potential stud everyday players and find a first baseman do you do it?
I say no because I have an insane man crush on Freeman but it is an interesting thought.

I am not sure how that has anything to do with the proposed trade offer about the FO.
Why would the Yanks give up two key young every day pieces, both on rookie contracts, for one key every day piece on a massive contract?
Is Freeman a monster contract to a team like the Yankees? I get what you are saying but you can't just assume Judge will be even 90% of what Freeman is.

I just love Phillips so much.
And that's what I'm thinking. I think I'm the end we will have one or two years with Freddie where it will matter. The rest of his years will be on losing and .500-.600 teams.

For a team like the Yankees who have unlimited money and i wouldnt say Freeman's contract is that big.
20+ mil for a top 5 1B is a relative bargain.
