If the Beefy Lad fulfills his destiny by no longer being beefy, does it really count?

He's going to come out of the gate hitting like absolute poo poo, regain all the weight by the ASB, and then proceed to hit over .300 with roughly a million dingers for the second half. Because you don't realize how much you need the beef until you've lost it.

I have my doubts that Frazier will give the Yankees a discount. This might be his best shot at a big 3 year contract and I would think that the Yankees don't want to give him more than 1.

I would be fine with a 2-year deal as long as everybody knows that he may not be starting for the entirety. I'm actually more adamant that CC be signed year-to-year, which is weird. EDIT: Pretty much I want them to get under 197 this year with the assumption that they're willing to spend back above it at least next year, it's so doable. And Cashman has already been in touch with Todd's agent. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Dec 12, 2017 |

Am I being crazy to say I don't want to dump like Adams and Sheffield plus others for one year of a guy, with no guarantee that he'll re-sign, coming off a bad year? I assume Machado is going to rebound but that seems crazy to me. Edit: Yeah I'm over valuing prospects here pretty bad I think. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Dec 13, 2017 |

We need some views that will unite us, not divide us. A Sage Baseball Mind posted:There’s some good information in there, and it (analytics) expands your fan base because a lot of people love the game of baseball who couldn’t play it. That’s how they connect with Major League Baseball, through numbers and analytics. But what it’s also doing, and something I hate, and that’s driving guys like myself and older baseball guys who have been around baseball a long time — especially scouts — it’s driving them out of the game. Surely nobody could guess the announcer. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/ct-spt-white-sox-hawk-harrelson-analytics-20171212-story.html

It would be nice for the Orioles to ignore the Yankees so that the Giants "yeah he's okay" tier prospects would look better. I deleted it earlier because for some reason my brain thought Machado was a 1B (I don't care for the AL much okay), but yeah, have your pick of all this cheap young talent that nobody's projected to very high.

Machado's positioned to making absolute bank in 2018, and his agent is Boras. Sorry, but he's not signing an extension.

Been keeping an eye on the ballot tracker (http://bit.ly/hof18 ) and only like 10% of ballots are in, too few to draw any conclusions really, but it's pretty shocking to see Johan sitting at 0%.
