bawfuls posted:I'm pretty sure he does, and it is only a matter of time before the Dodgers cake-walk to first in the division every year is over. Dodgers need to win two more rings before that happens. i guess but the dodgers were maybe the best team of all time last year so like not a cakewalk but being projected to win 100 games a year is absurd

FlamingLiberal posted:The Rangers signed David Dahl for $3 million/1 year. That could potentially be a great bargain if he can do anything close to what he did in 2019. ya definitely, he's not that far removed from being a big time prospect and i have no clue why the rockies dfa'd him unless they know something folks don't. def one of those prospect names one just kept hearing about for a while with the rockies, like brendan rodgers or ryan mcmahon, that just don't fully work out? or i play too much ootp

Sure he's not amazing but I thought studies had shown that the coors effect wasn't really real once players got off the team? Like sure he's probably a 45 bat in CF with 40-45 defense and not great health but for that cost, there's no harm. That could be a solid player. Fwar likes him a bit more too, seems like if he ever gets healthy he could put up a 3 win season. Also, and this isn't like directed at you, Sydin, in particular, but is a thing with baseball these days - dahl is a former top prospect who is 26, plays an up the middle position, and has had a close to league average bat, it's insane that the reaction to him would be "not sure i want him on the team," especially at that cost. You can probably get 80 percent of him at league minimum unless he hits like a 90th percentile season, which is the reason he's available, but yikes at baseball

i can't believe i looked into that but they get -2 for 2019 and +2 for 2020 if you count prorated wins like you did later for the dodgers so it's a 6 year run that's at 10 which doesn't seem that bad considering most teams don't approach anything like that in a decade ya lol one of the best 50 dynasties ever if you go by his list and your additions

just gotta make the playoffs once in the next 4 years and they'll be at 10 for 10 years which is a longer time period than a lot of teams on that list - obviously ya that would go against the hot take since it's a different core but i guess i think that core did a lot, it's hard to be that good for 4 straight years. the fact they won 90 games each year and only won the division twice shouldn't be held against them when the central was really top heavy those years. edit: cleveland is at 9 over the last 5 years but would be at 10 plus if their 93 wins in 2019 got them into the playoffs. they'd be at 11 if that had taken the division edit2: vv of course, just in context of the hot take at the top of the page i was commenting on how the long run wouldn't feel necessarily the same uggy fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Dec 30, 2020 |

also fyi the cardinals and red sox totals are still present and running since they havne't gone to zero yet as somebody who doesn't count the prorated season that the dodgers had, the cardinals present total of 24 from 2000-2020 is actually second highest present cause the yankjees suck

your hot take and dynasty points talk was fine - it's that you couldn't understand why people disagreed with your hot take that got folks responding. there was a good discussion but it ended with you being like "jeez i can't understand why folks don't get it" and then the goal posts moved to "luck is involved in even winning one ws" which was not the original point. if you post a hot take be prepared for push back and for folks to not agree, that's all i liked the discussion, I was very involved in it and I think talking about the teams of the decade is fun. I know the ringer did an article on that and said the astros were the team of the decade, which I can't fully disagree with but maybe it is just the giants cause rings. edit: and tbh i have enjoyed this a lot more than folks just posting twitter links - there's not enough discussion on stuff like that in this thread

secular woods sex posted:Take 3 minutes and read the methodology for yourself. I mean regardless that site isn’t the end all here. A good, very young up the middle player with an extra year of control seems pretty similar in value to a number 2/3 pitcher. Zips projects way more value from gleybar over the next couple years

Inspector_666 posted:Or the mound has to be lowered. There's a school of thought that moving the mound back might actually make things worse because you are able to add even more movement to your pitches. I thought part of it was just that pitcher mechanics have been repeated tens of thousands of times and now you’re asking them to throw further? Wasn’t injury risk a thing that makes moving the mound further a non starter?

There are LOTS of great ballplayers out there who won't ever make it to the show, but if the entire minor league system is dominated by MLB teams, they have no real home to go to. What in the world
