2025 Trade Deadline Thread

[Nerfherders]

After Sale's generation retires, we may never see another 100 game winner (as a metric for longevity). These guys burn out too fast.

FV is wrong about almost everyone. Using FV for players on the verge of the majors is fine but FV for kids in rookie ball is retarded. And I dont need anyone elses projection system. Its reallt not that complicated. Read a few scouting reports and look at the key indicator stats and I bet you could guess what FV fangraphs would give them.

Scouting reports have famously never missed on guys, good point.

Using FV to generally gauge a player’s value is fine, tell cy’s mom to remove the dildo from your cheeks and you’ll feel a little better I think

Can you repeat that for ‘Scheff in the other thread? Thanks.

I think for some we’re long past the point of removal

Its fine like using runs and RBI to quantify how good a player is fine. I heard Acunas wife had a son. What do you think his future value is? I heard it was a very short labor so he already has plus speed. Gotta be a 50 atleast.

already has great speed... that was pretty good

This is just pure stupidity revealing a clear misunderstanding of what FV is and what it’s claiming to measure. There’s a reason MLB teams have poached almost every original contributor to that system, and it’s not because it “wasn’t that hard”.

If it’s so easy you should probably start publishing your own superior prospect tracking information. You’d probably make a nice chink of change with the internet traffic it would drive. But you won’t because you can’t because you don’t know what FV does, how to improve it, or how to make an alternative.

Speaking of starting pitching, sorta pisses me off that despite drafting nothing but pitching, we have to talk about acquiring starting pitching every year.

Given the volatility of pitching prospects, the optimal resource deployment would be to focus on position player prospects because they are a better bet to turn into MLB players. Let other teams go through the pain of developing pitchers, then use the easier to develop hitting prospects to acquire pitchers who survived that development process.

Given how little the Braves have spent on hitting prospects and the number of impact bats they have developed, I’m a little surprised they haven’t gone more heavily with hitters. Investing so much resources into risky pitching was a poor decision.
