Harold's Leg Lift

With all this shit swirling around the Astros I don't know how someone signs with them even if they are the highest bidder.

The Braves are a very well run organization. This deal is going to be good for them.

Nailed it. I'm kicking all kinds of ass in the MLBTR free agent contest.

Tim did a Q&A while on a flight yesterday. There's a lot of good stuff here but this one made it move. He's so good when he stays inside the baseball. This is the approach I want to see Eloy use. Be dangerous.

I agree but this is where that ridiculous extension for Abeu comes into play. It would be nice to have that money to make sure they get this done.

They traded The Great Jake Peter to the Dodgers in the Joakim Soria deal. Boy that one sure bit them in the ass.

Zack Greinke throws a changeup faster than his fastball because he's Zack Greinke.

He has a slow bat. He can cheat in AA. Can't cheat in the big leagues.

Sheets can't play. Move him for a bag of balls. Heuer is interesting. I'd ride that one out.

Yeah. Hang on to them too long and guys figure out they can't play. Best to move them when there's still some shiney new thing on them.

Isn't a less useful Joc Pederson Kyle Schwarber?

Miggy.

WAR flags fly forever.

Yep. Don't tell me if you won a World Series tell me how you won it.

Chapman pitched in 13 games that postseason. Maddon overused him but they don't even get to the WS without him.

I'm in then sign Conforto to a big ole fat extension.

It's always follow the money but with this clown it's follow his former clients. Nimmo (a former client) is projected to make $1.7M in arbitration this year. No reason to trade him now. Michael Conforto (Boras client) is projected to make $9.2M this year with another arb eligible year in 2021. That's a significant savings.

Ha. Preller traded for Jurickson Profar. Should have seen that coming when he traded Urias. It was only a matter of time before he got his man.

Bingo. Finding a league avg 2B should not be difficult. They just released one.

Robert is the only one in that group I wouldn't trade.

They can't rat hole these "assets" forever. Not every minor leaguer is going to be an everyday big leaguer so getting value for the ones they don't see helping the big league club is a smart move. They better move soon because some of them are depreciating quickly.

Trolling fanboys is always funny.

Mancini hits right handed.

Mike Trout struck out 184 times and won an MVP. Guess he's a poor hitter.
