Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

Shocking: Hollander says they are basically done adding. 57,937 posts on X debating signing Chapman all for naught.. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/hollander-mariners-additions-likely-to-be-more-on-the-margins.html Saw that. Damn him. This article lists a bunch of other teams that are done ...

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

And since he has a no trade clause, they can't get rid of him unless he wants to be traded. And Trout can't carry the entire franchise on his shoulders. So either he plays his nuts off for the Angels hoping for a miracle, or he wises up and asks to be traded to a team that has a chance of winning t...

How I read it is winning a WS isn't what's important, it's winning one with the Angels that makes it important
Weirdly principled.
I kind of doubt it but I guess it's possible. I just think he's pretty comfortable.

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

When I signed that contract, I’m loyal,” Trout said. “I want to win a championship here. The overall picture of winning a championship or getting to the playoffs here is bigger satisfaction than bailing out and just taking the easy way out. So I think that’s been my mindset. Maybe down the road, if...

Re: Epic Busts

The baseball draft is a crap shoot. I think I saw an analysis once that said only about 25% of first round draft picks ever make the major leagues. Every team's fans can make a post similar to this. I don't think that's true. I think there are good drafts and bad drafts and lots of bad talent evalu...

Thanks. Really odd given he has great speed. Keep in mind he was over 3 years younger than his competition in AA. Based on how he killed it in Everett I think he can put up a .800 OPS when he repeats AA this season.
I think the K-Rate and BA will be critical.
