League is reactivated and I still see his name listed on a team.
Who's the third B? Did Derek Bell and Operation Shutdown get retconned out, officially, in favor of Berkman? What about...
@PhiSlammaJamma @chrisjent @Plowman @Ziggy @FLASH21 @Yaniv @Garner @sew @Ray Martinez @thejav
We should @ the rest of the league so they see the post.
Sure, it doesn't feel like basketball season yet, but here we are. I'll play.
This. Exactly this. The problem with moving catchers to other positions (especially a corner spot) is that their surplus value is tied to the...
I've broken down before why I think a big Realmuto contract would be a bad investment. Here's the short version: catchers are running backs....
You're totally right. They both deserved far more than they got.
Where's the option for "neither"? One is a "superstar" who necessitates the same roster building problems we had with Westbrook because he's a...
Where are you getting your numbers from? Baseball reference has Hand's WAR as 1.8 over those two seasons (1.1 and 0.7). If you look at...

I guess we'll see what the market actually calibrates the value of guys like Hand at. What I know is the Stros definitely need quality, veteran...
The team has been around for 60 years and has retired 9 numbers. The first two died during their career with the Stros and don't really count as...
Smith had a 1.80 ERA in 2019 and has a career 2.57 ERA in the postseason. He also seems to perfectly fit the way the Rays have prioritized...
The Paul for Westbrook trade was terrible. But that doesn't mean that Chris Paul was the right star alongside Harden. It just means that...
Some of y’all are a little precious about retired numbers, IMO. Mike Scott was at his peak the most dominant pitcher in the game, and he was...
