Hall of Famer

I think Rizzo extends. I also think they should extend Contreras. I’m pretty convinced they could get more in a trade for Amaya than they could for...

https://twitter.com/pgammo/status/1364720806002126862?s=21 Gammons says that if Ed Howard was off the board the Cubs would have picked Nick Yorke...

If I’m going safe I’m taking Leiter. It’s weird to say a pitcher is a safe prospect, but he feels safe to me. His stuff is very good, 4 good pitches,...

Leiter or Khalil Watson would be on top of my list right now. For the pirates situation Watson might be the better risk. If they come away with him...

I’m not saying it’s the same type of rebuild but it’s still a rebuild. They just traded their best pitcher for 4 high school aged prospects. I’m...

Lots of teenagers on that list. I think he’s sleeping on Kohl Franklin.

I think the Ricketts are still below average among the current ****** Mlb owners. I pulled the numbers the other day but the overall player spending...

Right. I think Cohen will be better than Wilpon but he won’t be any different from the other owners today. Owners today would all like to win, but...

Right. George Steinbrenner didn’t have to spend like that either. He did it because he gave a **** about winning above all else. There are no owners...

More like: Me - the Tatis deal is a good risk for the Padres You - Jacoby Ellsbury’s contract was an anchor for the Yankees. Me - that’s a...

I mean, great, but that has nothing to do with anything we talked about.

Not sure what that has to do with anything related to Tatis or Jacoby being “an anchor” or yankee spending pre and post Steinbrenner’s death. ...

They had lux tax multipliers back in 2005 too. They just kept spending.

I mean if we factor in that they paid $34 mil in tax in 05 and $7 mil in tax in 19, the total player payroll actually went down between those 2...

Yankees 2005 estimated revenue - 277 million Yankees 2005 player payroll - 207.1 million Yankees 2019 estimated revenue - 683 million Yankees...

I think you are missing the point. Elsbury has nothing to do with Tatis. He was 9 years older than Tatis when he signed that deal and he’s not...

If Giancarlo Stanton signed his 13 year contract going into his age 22 season he’d already have 33-34 fWAR on that deal. Despite all his injuries...

Me too. Sounds like they changed the rules because of 2020. https://twitter.com/cubprospects/status/1362498861428793348?s=21 Regardless he...

Elijah Green in 2022 has a chance to be the most obvious 1.1 since Bryce. I’m hoping some AL team finishes worse than the pirates this year. For...

You are welcome to be wrong, but it’s still wrong. In this post you refer to him as “one of the elite pitchers in baseball.” 3 years into the deal...

Jon Lester earned 16.6 fWAR as a Cub. Using $8 million per win that amounts to $132.8 million in value. The Cubs paid him about $145 million. I guess...

You guys are nuts if you don’t think it was a fantastic signing. He got hurt in 2018. Over the next 2 years he was healthy and he was worth far...

Longenhagen has probably seen Preciado more than any of the other prospect evaluators and he clearly loves him. To rank him on that list as the...

Fangraphs top prospects list: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2021-top-100-prospects/ Guess who is the youngest player on the list?

Exactly.

Lol. How do you still not get it? The surplus value the Cubs gave up is Darvish. We are evaluating his signing here not his trade. I didn’t say...

Wow. You can multiply fWAR times 8. What a genius you are. If your argument is that he made very slightly more money over the last 3 years than...

LOL. The league doesn’t agree with you. He was acquired for more than he was owed. Also the average cost of a win in Free agency from 2018-2020...

It was a 500 foot home run. It was David Bote walking off the Nats. Players get hurt sometimes. He still leaves with more value than money owed....

You are a moron. 1908 said the Darvish SIGNING was a home run. You said it wasn’t. I said of course it was, he got injured in year 1 then he was...
