It was a terrible idea moving it in the first place. I don't think anyone in Atlanta was actively campaigning to get it moved. Stacey Abrams even said it was a bad idea. I'm assuming this is MLB making up for that.
Fwiw last time we had someone win MVP, we won the World Series the following year, so GET YOUR HOPES UP
credit to jeff for accepting the L him pushing the fakest stat of all time in bsr will never not be absurd
Nice to see some of the boys hitting nukes off the tee. Did a double take seeing Wheels play golf righty
Since the Rule 5 deadline is past, I'll assume that means we're planning on adding at least three more free agents. Two pitchers and a LF?
Bummer's advanced metrics look pretty strong and consistent, just bit by the BABIP bug the last two seasons (.384 in 2022 and .340 last year) and had a few too many walks last year. Under team control until 2026.
So this guy was one of the worst players in all of baseball last year. But was really good before that. Fingers crossed. Like all of these guys going to a non rival so we can still pull for them.
Missed a lot of bats and got a lot of ground balls even with surface level struggles. That’s enough to bet on and give Kranny a chance to fix the rest. Cleared out a bunch of 40-man flotsam.
I feel like I remember Bummer getting a lot of hype a few years ago. Either way, we aren't giving up much. It's a lot of names we know, but very little substance. Only one that makes me sad is Soroka.
The internal grief I’ll suffer as we watch Shewmake win five straight MVPs on the South Side will be hard to bear.
Soroka - 1st rd 2015 Shewmake - 1st rd 2019 Schuster - 1st rd 2020 Lot of top busts in that trade. (and yes, I know Soroka's situation is different but still)
This is a Snit managed team. He only needs 10 position players. The four infielders, the three outfielders, 2 catchers and one back up.
Yeah, it’s odd. He def outperformed his expected numbers, but his arb number would still be pretty small. Maybe they want to give the system guys a chance to show what they have?
