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 Willy in this new version of baseball value.

Gammons says that if Ed Howard was off the board the Cubs would have picked Nick Yorke at 16 last year. Yet another reason to love the Ed...

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, plus future command, bloodlines. I’d be surprised...

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 and Green the next 2 drafts they might be the Cubs...

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 pretty high on the prospects upside but that’s a...

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 for the Cubs has been around 10th and the revenues...

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 they “need” to be as profitable as possible....

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 like him anymore. There were no owners like him at...

Me - the Tatis deal is a good risk for the Padres

You - Jacoby Ellsbury’s contract was an anchor for the Yankees.

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.

2019 was pre Covid. 2005 was precovid. Jacoby isn’t a...

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 years.

Regardless, they’ve got money. They just...

Yankees 2005 estimated revenue - 277 million
Yankees 2005 player payroll - 207.1 million

Yankees 2019 estimated revenue - 683 million
Yankees 2019 player payroll - 225.9 million.

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 nearly as good. His contract with the Yankees didn’t...

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 he’d easily be on track to make that contract a win...

Me too. Sounds like they changed the rules because of 2020.

Regardless he should be in mlb when he’s pitching, but it’ll make...

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 guys ranked in that 15-30 range in the 21 draft...

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 he’s one of the elite pitchers in baseball and...

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 that signing wasn’t a home run either.

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 more than he was paid. Over the last year and a...

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 youngest player to make it, before he plays an...

Guess who is the youngest player on the list?

Exactly.
