A Bichete deal makes a lot of sense to me

Both can be true. Snit was a net negative and the teams forgot how to play in October those years.

Your crying about shit that hasn't happened yet.

As much as we all love to shit on Snit. And I certainly was not a fan. He's not the reason those teams forgot how to hit and the reason Fried and Strider seemingly can't pitch in the playoffs.

The offseason isn't over my guy

Pretty good is not a HOFer. Among position players in the 80s Murphy ranks 12th in WAR despite having the most games played among anybody of that decade. And he was virtually non existant in the 70s or 90s.

Yes he was great for 7 years. That still doesn't make a HOFer when the rest of your career is meh at best. Mattingly is very comparable to Murphy. And he was in the biggest market of them all and still hasn't gotten in.

Just because he's a Brave? Murph just wasn't good enough for long enough. For an OF the Andruw/Lofton types are my diving line and anything below that level shouldn't be in.

No real argument there since Rice and Baines are in. But id rather not just keep putting in the hall of good players in

I honestly would only call the offsesaon last year a 'strikeout'. The 24 team had quite a few injuries that I'm not sure trying to bring in a bunch of guys to patch the holes was the smartest idea. And the 25 team was just bad/hurt and I don't think moving Igelasias for a 45 FV prospect was...

He def should be in. Wild that he's not. Not sure what eras committe he belongs to at this point but the next one should vote him in. edit: Looks like he belongs in the cotemporary era. No idea why he wasn't even on this ballot. Kinda absurd.

For better or worse let's keep an update going. 9 public votes in so far and Andruw has gained 2 people from returning voters and 2 first time voters have also voted for him. He missed by 35 votes last year.

Every year? Dude literally traded for the cy young two years ago. People really are letting AAs moves since the deadline of 24 effect their opinion of how he built this team prior to that. I'll join in on the criticism if this off-season is a bust but its super early.

44 war outfielders just aren't gonna make it. He's the Johan sanatana of position players. Kent was always borderline and it's hilarious he got in before bonds considering their issues. I will say this bodes well for andruw in a future committee vote if the writers don't get him in this year...

That's still not something that should stop a team trying to win the WS from making a signifigant addition to the team. But Ranger Suarez aint it considering the other options out there. IMO the only two guys worth losing this pick and pool money is Bichete and Tucker but both of those seem very...

The #48 pick would get bumped down a spot if someone signs Gallen for over 50 million which seems likely even after a down year. Also if the Nats, Angels, or White Sox sign someone with a QA offer attached the Braves 2nd round pick gets moved up a spot as well (or if the Braves sign someone and...

I'm pretty sure QO compensation only effects teams losing their 2nd highest pick and at best adds a pick for some teams (looks like only the DBacks this year) between competitve round A and B. All that is after the Baldwin pick so he's locked in.

According to fangraphs Riley now has 6.138 years of service time. So he actually would be hitting the FA market this offseason without the extension.

Williams is a good get for the Mets. Hopefully he starts to decline since he's on the wrong side of 30 now but he's been nothing short of great since coming into the league.

Not sure who that dude is but sure why not
