HoF [REDACTED] v2.0: FUCK...We suck again!

Any notables left unprotected?

 

Bet Burrows will get scooped up by someone

 

He had a rough year last year

 

18) Kyle Funkhouser, RHP

I want him

 

the funk man

 

Rip

 

Gimme Salvatore Perez or Willson Contreras and I don’t want to pay much

 

MLB.com doing potential superstar trades and has Bryant to us for Fried, Waters, Contreras, and Bryce Wilson. I don’t really like it.

 

i could stomach Fried OR Waters but not both

 

I'd prefer not to include Fried but if we were sure to get 2016 Kris Bryant I'd probably be okay with it

 

For two years of KB? Is that really worth it?

 

I don’t think so. Fried is only going to get better and Waters is our best prospect imo.

 

Thinking about it, I don’t believe Puke’s spot in the bullpen is guaranteed. We’ve got five guys (Smith, Mark, Shane, Martin, Darren) penciled in already and four are righties. We still need a long reliever (would like to bring Tomlin back) and a LOOGY. That leaves one spot and I’d much rather have Webb that dirtball

 

Itd be one thing if they'd signed him to a long term deal but damn, we'd be left holding the bag if he chose to not extend.

 

+1 like for using "LOOGY"

 

isn’t the mlb essentially outlawing loogys with their minimum batters faced nonsense

 

Good point. That rule is dumb as shit. We still have to have more than one lefty though, maybe two with Smith closing.

 

Like how is that a response wrt speeding up games. “Situational pitching eats too much time, let’s force guys who labored through one at-bat to throw to two more guys.”

 

It's a terrible rule. has it officially passed? I kind of expect Newcomb to end up being loogy by the end of the year but maybe he will surprise us as a starter.

 

That is way too much for KB.

 

No

 

The Yankees need to trade Clint Frazier to us. He’s doing them no good in the bench and they could use another arm like Luke Jackson

 

Grandal off the market

 

4/73

nope nope nope

 

let's trade for realmuto

 

what would it take to get McCann from the White Sox. 1 year left at ~ $5 mil

 

Riley's huge, doesn't move great, but has a big arm. Let's stick him at C and just be legends.

 

Full disclosure: I tried this on my MLB The Show franchise and results were suboptimal.

But we also had a 6-8 pitcher with 101 heat named "The Nug" that went 30-0 with a sub 2.00 ERA, + Puig, so we made up for it elsewhere.

 

The Nug is a regularly Denny McLain

 

i found that all the positions were interchangeable on baseball video games so that's how my team ended up with mike cameron at third base

 

An important thing to me is that we won’t have to use our #FinancialFlexibility to acquire three relievers at the deadline this year.

 

Spoiler

 

Still would do it for the 7m savings

 

I want us to trade for Willson Contreras just to see if it would be possible for Tyler Flowers to break the record for passed balls in a season in only 40-50 games or less

 

I am pretty sure he fell off a cliff after the all star game too.

 

Count me among those who would love Ozuna. He’s killed us in Miami and St Louis so I’d like to not have to face him anymore. I’d also love to maroon Kakes in space and find some idiot willing to take Ender.

 

Wonder if it's an expensive LF or Donaldson, or if we are trying for both.

 

Would love for it to be both but I think we’re looking at two free agent position players who’ll take less that $20 mil a year and then trade for our third opening.

 

Anyone know what Yan Gomes’ defensive metrics were last year? He was pretty great in Cleveland and while his average isn’t great, he’s still got some pop

 

Solid. Middle of the road framing, good receiver, controls the running game relatively well.

I’d be please with Ozuna and Moose or JD and Puig. Give the Cubs Wright and Alex Jackson for Contreras and call it a day.

 

No pitcher?

 

Wheeler or Madbum. I’d actually forgotten that Wheeler is a hometown kid too.

 

I think Robbie Ray for some lesser pitching prospects makes a ton of sense.
