I understand that prospect hit rates seem to have been higher in recent years, but giving out an 80 grade and two 70s seems like a bit of overkill. I also think they have been a little too loosey goosey with their 50 FVs in recent years. Usually, I don't think there are 120 prospects in...

Newk probably gets the edge for me as well, but honestly I prefer to view that group as a whole rather than individually. I don't have an extreme amount of faith in any one candidate, but I have a ton of faith in that group's ability to collectively provide a good back end starter for us. Some...

Agreed. Franco is one of my favorite prospects that I've ever followed. I mean, the dude is a switch hitting teenager dominating much older leagues extremely loud tools, including probably the best hit tool ever seen on a kid who still hasn't turned 19 yet. But there are some concerns with...

Yeah, Newk was a reliever last year so the sample wasn't all that big, but his BB/9 has decreased every season since he's been in the majors. If he could put up a 3.5 BB/9 this year, I think that'd be good enough to be a very good #4 or #5 in our rotation. I'd rather be in a situation where...

To be fair, cocksucker is a pretty tremendous word. I'm a particular fan of it when I step on a LEGO.

Round Robin with the top two teams playing in the NLCS? That sounds like a really, really stupid idea at first, but the more I think about it the more I think it would actually be kinda fun lol

25% would be a MASSIVE cut. That is too extreme for me, but cutting it down to ~150 games or so would be fine with me. There are some complications given that baseball is such a stat-heavy sport and the record books would be sketchy, but I don't think that's an insurmountable obstacle. But...

7 is an extremely weird number. 6 feels like the sweet spot. With the two best teams getting first round BYE instead of picking their opponent and the first round being bumped to 3 games instead of the 1 game wildcard. So a 3-5-7-7 format. Keeps the regular season important, only extends...

Yeah Joc would be an awkward fit from a platoon standpoint. Ozuna and Acuna are locked in, and a left handed bat doesn't jive with Ender/Nick. Let's trade for him and teach him 3rd base lol.

Yeah I actually thought that Wong was moving over from the Twins for some reason. Also didn't realize just how good Wong was at the plate last year. Definitely a big improvement for the Red Sox and worse for the Dodgers.

I'm interested to see if the Dodgers send any of the assets they received from the Twins to Boston. If not, then I'm starting to like this deal for the Dodgers a lot more. I also like this deal substantially more for the Red Sox as well. Getting Downs and Wong is much better than just...

That James Baldwin guy sounds like a real jerk! -Norm Macdonald.

I've run the numbers and there is approximately a 1.38174% chance of that trade happening, but if it did the White Sox might go from a 77 win team to a solid 82 win team. Might be worth it. If you can't tell, I'm the low man on the White Sox next season lol. I think the Twins and even the...

This is the main reason that I'm adamantly against dropping the Oxford comma. I experimented with dropping it for a while, but now I've become a bit of an Oxford comma activist intent on the destruction of the fascist "droppers".

I want my Cyndi Lauper records back.

I feel like a gay borg would effectively fill our needs at 3rd base, plus gay borg are usually pretty versatile by nature. Some are even known to switch hit, or at least experiment with switch hitting in their developmental years.

Is anyone else up late and wanting to talk about life? I'm currently debating whether or not to remain single for the rest of my life. I like pretending that I have a choice in the matter. I'm also pondering the merits of the transhumanism movement. It sounds cool, but I'm sure that is what...

Yeah I like the Angel's side of this trade. The only team I'm skeptical of after this deal is the Dodgers, even though they got the best player. I think its possible that they struggle with depth after these deals, and depth is one of the things that made them so good in the past. But its...

I should also say that Ross Stripling is an underrated piece for the Angels. He's not a world beater, but he should be pretty good for the Angels and provide some stability for either their bullpen or their rotation. I think they'll value his versatility.
