So Bellinger to CF, Judge back to RF, Dominguez in LF. Still have huge holes at 1b and 2b/3b, with Jazz playing one of them.
Just platoon Bellinger around CF/1b/dh? Feel like most of Bellinger's value is you get multi position + defense in a way the two positions don't normally correlate. So you find a fringe corner infielder and fringe of to pair with which is easy. Then you play matchups.
Problem is they have had to play those fringe OF and 1B together 162 games for 2 years straight and hit them leadoff/cleanup 50 games.
It sucks after sitting in an empty stadium for three years being sold a long term plan. That plan worked! Then new folks came in and decided they knew better. I think most would take our 2015-2024 run in exchange for another rebuild though. It just seems so unnecessary. Around 2018 they were set up for at least another decade. But people are flawed.
Omg they brought back Sox fest after canceling it for the past two seasons what a fucking line up Chris Getz might get shot
MLB released its report on pitching injuries and why they happen. The report was pretty obvious as far as the causes (chasing velo/spin, max effort, not enough rest in offseason, not building up enough innings in the minors, etc.). The reaction seems to be that nothing is going to change.
Phillies signed Kepler to a one year deal. hopefully whatever happened to him last year was an aberration.
Was too busy planning his wedding photos at a shitty fast food chain to get a meaningful hit in the playoffs smh
I'm totally ignorant on the numbers, but what type of long term deal is Kyle Tucker expected to get? Is this Walker deal a lot cheaper than what Tucker will get?
Unless his health or performance falls apart next year, the floor on Tucker's next deal is probably 10 years/$400M. And the more likely is probably something in the range of 12/$500M.
He’ll be entering his age 29 season, id be surprised to see him north of $40 million per unless he destroys the ball this year
I remember the story of some rookie giving up his seat to Rickey because he had tenure. Rickey said corrected him and said he had 15 years.
I think the majority of those Rickey stories have been proven false, but that doesn’t mean I have to acknowledge it. RIP
