The light blue is what I don't like, which is odd considering how much I like the Twins powder blue unis. The navy blue is rad but it'll suck in the sun.

The unis could be easily improved by using something other than baby blue for the accents and sleeves. Is every team doing a local flavor uniform this year, or just both Chicago teams coincidentally?

I’ll agree with you on the normal Wrigleyville Bros antics, but I have my doubts on the sidewalk puke considering my sister works in Lakeview and has personally witnessed someone puking a mix of green beer and bad decisions right in front of the shop’s display window.

I already ordered the hat because I haven't bought a Cubs fitted in like 15 months and I'm Jonesing. I do wish it had the patch on the side with the municipal device that's on the jersey sleeve (that Y insignia which is a chicago thing, about the river).

Tbh, I kinda miss picking up dirt cheap jerseys and hats at the little Game-Used store in Minute Maid. They have all the titular game-used stuff for $$$$, but that’s also where they stick all the one-off event unis and caps that don’t sell. I’ve got a couple fitted Jackie Robinson Day and 90s throwback caps that I bought for like ~$15 each. That’s also where I bought a 2017 WS game-worn Rich Dauer jersey for $30, but that thing has gotta be cursed now.

Squall posted:It's a hilarious contract but at the end of the day the whole thing is like $24M. And, I mean, who knows, he could always figure it out in AAA. The problem with contracts like Kingery's isn't the money, it's that they can hurt a player's development. If Scott Kingery was on a normal contract, the Phillies would've sent him down when he struggled in his rookie year. But they were paying him, so they kept playing him even though he was like the worst hitter in baseball that year. That's a great way to ruin a prospect. The $24 million doesn't hurt the Phillies that much, but having one of their top prospects bust sure does!

I mean hey don't knock 2.8 WAR, that's a nice player to have on your team, but he was basically a league average hitter who still struck out almost 30% of the time and posted a pretty miserable wOBA. Not exactly the guy I think they expected him to be when they threw that contract at him.

He was expected to be a guy that played very good defence all over the place and could be an average to above average hitter with good to very good speed on the bases: exactly what he was in 2019. I understand that people wanna make fun of the contract and see him as a failed prospect, but he wasn't that going into last season when he got covid. And then he sucked out loud last year and then Phillies management turned over.

If a guy's expected peak is 2-3 WAR then why bother rushing to sign a pre-arb extension in the first place? That kind of player is never going to be all that expensive so you might as well let him go through the normal (extremely team friendly) process. edit: especially if that value comes largely from defense, which is typically under-valued in arbitration already bawfuls fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jun 8, 2021 |

seiferguy posted:https://twitter.com/portside_drive/status/1402056512801968129?s=19 I feel obliged to add to the chorus that this is one of the nicest most pleasingly designed uniforms I've ever seen. I really love baseball uniforms that stick to simple black/white or black/grey colors. For instance there were several years recently from 08-14 I think where the Red Sox had road unis with dark navy blue lettering over grey and they looked sick, then they went back to gross ketchup-colored lettering that looks OK on the white home unis but has never (and will never) look good on the grey road unis  The alternates are even worse, too, and the yellow/blue ones were unspeakable. I deeply loathe just about every Red Sox uniform except the standard home whites, which I only strongly dislike. I actually quite like pinstriped unis like the old Astros home unis (maybe my favorite of all) or the CO Rockies home ones - and the Yankees home unis of course, tough not to like those objectively for their beauty and simplicity. Astros have always had the best uniforms out of ANY team though, in my opinion. They even had those SICK black and white uniforms they wore briefly before leaving the Astrodome, and I don't even need to talk about their older unis. kaworu fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jun 8, 2021 |

That kind of player is never going to be all that expensive so you might as well let him go through the normal (extremely team friendly) process. I don't necessarily disagree that rushing to sign him was a bad idea, but if he was a 2-3 win player through that contract he probably would have made about the same thing if he was a super 2 player at that level, and a good deal more if he became a 3+ win 20/20 guy, which wasn't far fetched (and he could still be really). Why the Phillies felt they absolutely had to have him up at the beginning of 2018 is an entirely different question considering they were in the middle of rebuilding. He's definitely overpaid as a 2-3 win guy if he only has 3 years of arb.

I'm suggesting that the contract heavily implies the Phillies thought he was more than a 2-3 WAR player.
