Cy’s mom is introducing her DTF package for 2024

Beat the herpetic, poorly groomed wheeze kids. And Los Doyers.

Hey, isn't it time to name this year's forum?

If they've decided they'd rather have Guillormé, they might as well send Fletcher and $4m somewhere for a fourth outfielder.

I would do it, but the Braves won't. But a fringe contender who really need a starter ought to do it. MKE. SAN. SFO. BOS. He's an asshole, but he's not a criminal (she is). And there are assholes all over baseball.

I love how so many lauded Ozzie's contact approach. I did it. Then he turned out to be a totally different guy. Kind of like Pedro, or even Strider. You looked at them and said, no way this guy's a power pitcher. He's only 5'10". Then, boom, bum, bam

For me, it wasn't the cutter. It was the four-seamer that he would start at the lefty's hip and bend back and snick the inside black. He did it for 15+ years and never had to change it. An incredible pitch.

Not necessarily. Murphy hit .999 the first half and .585 the second half. He was awful. Yes he's the superior defensive catcher. But after the all star break, he couldn't hit water from a boat.

It’s all about contact for Kelenic. For six weeks last year he did it and it was glorious. Like, .900 glorious. He really didn’t do himself any favors when he was coming up and complaining loudly to anyone who would listen that he was being service-timed, Sabre-rattling about getting the union...

We are short one RHH OF who can play CF still. He’s gonna add one, right? We’re not rolling with Luplow and Martinez, right?

Mariners fans would be furious.

Well, it’s the Hall of What Happened. Not the Hall of What Could’ve Been. I’m sure Mauer’s bilateral leg weakness wasn’t his fault, but it sure impacted his career. And he didn’t have power to start with, and then he became a $23M/yr 1B averaging two WAR a year. For half a decade. He should’ve...

I don’t have any personal feelings, I’m sure Mauer is a fine fellow. I don’t think he’s a Hall of Famer. That’s my judgment, and it’s as valid as yours.

Agree to disagree for all the reasons I stated. He had a short prime and hung around hitting singles and standing next to 1B for five years to earn his $23M per. He should have been indicted for stealing $115M from the Twins.

I have liked Jim since I first heard him, and I will miss him. That said, we have the best young voice in baseball radio with Ben Ingram. I was really pulling for Ben to get the TV gig but he wanted no part of that mess. Turns out he was right.

Where could we find a top drawer LHP in FAcy next year?

Boy, do I agree with you on Mauer. Nice player, but really? His last five years were an average of 8 HR, 58 RBI, .278/.359/.388/.747, OPS 105, and he DHed and played first base - didn't catch those years. 580 PA/yr. Average WAR 2.1. He didn't have 1000 RBI in his 15 year career. I don't...

What I’d really prefer is for Acuña to hit 700 times and steal none of them. Maybe clean up his defense a bit.

Really good defender. Fast. Especially for a guy his size.

He's certainly borderline elite with 33 bombs last year, .850 OPS, 16% Ks, a .233 ISO and wRC+ of 124. Even if he was a little down with the glove. I haven't even seen three of those jokers play. These lists are always stupid. I don't know why I read them. They just piss me off. They'll...
