You could lop 96 million off that plan and still be in pretty good shape.

Not trying to imply that he's been a fluke, it's just that pitchers are pitchers and it's hard to count on any of them.

Yeah Giolito is pitching in such a way that it looks like they only need to be serviceable major leaguers. Will that continue? Idk, but it's a lot easier to envision a solid enough rotation with this version of Giolito.

I wouldn't say they would be better with any level of confidence, but his carrying tools should give you a playable second basemen as is.

yeah, I was only being half serious

I remember an interview with Eloy where he talked about how much he missed Dominican rice and beans in Birmingham, and then an article a little later where James Fegan ran into him in the Waffle House down there. It would cost ,what, 100-200 grand to cater every game?

There's your next market inefficiency.

He's obviously richer than hell, but I imagine being around a bunch of broke 22 year olds all the time does not help form good habits.

If he's anything like me in college he goes spinach and white sauce on thin crust and convinces himself it's healthy.

It didn't quite land on the stairs, it landed in front and bounced up them.

Google Maps has the distance from home to just before those stairs at 465, 500 would appear to clear the deck completely. I was able to go around the bases and come out to 358, just for an idea of googles accuracy

I'm not sure Madrigal couldn't give you as much or more than Yolmer right this second.

Abreu would snatch up a QO so fast it would make your head spin

Well they have awfully similar numbers KenHahn is so going to get bailed by those mopes huh

Tim Anderson and Machado. Idk, but I’d sure as hell rather have Machado than Yolmer Sanchez.

Stockholm syndrome

Yeah Larry from SSS threw a fit about that. In their defense, I’ve read those sites for years and had absolutely no idea they had a tagline

I just peeped Anderson’s defensive metrics and man that dude loves to dig a grave and pull himself out of it. He’s just a hair below average at this point.

It’s honestly amazing it took 100 years for people to figure that out. Not even like you need to do any math to figure it out.

He’s such a clown, nice change of pace to see a freak talent not be a giant hard ass

I’d give him a one year deal that’s about it.

I forgot how fun this game was at the end there

Still don’t think he nets anything worth trading him for. We’ll see.

Regression is balls falling that we’re caught before, not forgetting how to throw strikes

His wRC+ is <100 he’s been struggling a lil
