Bryce is getting TJ, out for the first half of 2023: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/bryce-harper-undergoes-tommy-john-surgery.html It's not entirely surprising, but it means the 2023 Phillies will likely regress.

The "absurdly preliminary" '23 ZiPS projections just leaving current FAs out of it entirely, have Atlanta leading MLB at 96 wins somehow?

Atlanta has been absolutely on top of signing their core talent early to long-term deals so they never end up in a situation like, say, the Yankees where a many-WAR player might leave, so this is the sort of list they'd definitely show high in

91 wins for the Dodgers huh The last time they had a win rate that low was 2016 and it hasn't been below that since 2012 Intruder fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Nov 24, 2022 |

R.D. Mangles posted:lol it is incredibly dumb to do projections before we know who will even be on a team quote:These 2023 projections are guaranteed to be awful, wrong in many ways ranging from tragic to comic. But despite being absolutely premature and littered with horrible misses, projected standings at this point are actually quite useful, and useful is the best description any kind of predictive model can strive for. Standings at this point are a poor predictor of the 2023 season — and even the eventual 2023 projections themselves — but what they are able to do is give a “state of the union” estimate for each team. These standings represent the best estimates ZiPS can make at this point about where a team sits in the league’s pecking order, based solely on the players currently under contract with the team. It’s hard to get where you want to go if you don’t know where you’re starting. To his point, I'm sure almost all teams (hi Rockies!) have an internal version of this to help guess which teams are in on which free agents, where they have surpluses and needs for trade, and to help assess signing impacts and competitive positioning. I mean, to some degree the options are something like this or having the Jim Bowden of your staff assess every team's needs going into the offseason. Since Jim is no longer a viable front office member and peddles his crusty, vibesbased insights in The Athletic, it's nice to have a more applicable counterpart in the public domain too.

Speaking of Jimmy's insights, The Athletic had him review beat writer proposed trades for Blue Jays catchers.quote:Nootbaar and RHP Michael McGreevy to Blue Jays for Kirk quote:San Diego Padres send OF Trent Grisham to Blue Jays for Jansen quote:Chicago Cubs trade OF Ian Happ and RHP Adbert Alzolay to Blue Jays for Jansen quote:Chicago White Sox send RHP Liam Hendriks, OF Gavin Sheets, OF Yoelqui Céspedes and $10 million to Blue Jays for Kirk quote:Boston Red Sox send RHP Josh Winckowski or RHP Kutter Crawford and OF Jarren Durran to Blue Jays for Jansen quote:Minnesota Twins send OF Max Kepler, RHP Jordan Balazovic, RHP Cole Sands and $4.8 million to Blue Jays for Jansen quote:Cleveland Guardians send Cal Quantrill and OF George Valera to Blue Jays for Kirk quote:Detroit Tigers send RHP Joe Jiménez and a lottery-ticket prospect to Blue Jays for Jansen

that cubs/jays trade is the most loving insane thing i've seen, sure i'll trade an all-star outfielder and potential stud setup guy for a backup catcher. also happ is not a viable second baseman except in an absolute emergency. e: oh wait, he's from Elmhurst, let's do it.

bawfuls posted:Right, but those guys aren’t collectively worth 20 wins. Maybe it also doesn’t include Kershaw who has technically not re-signed yet though reports were he was close several weeks ago. Still a wild drop. Which is to say assuming the entire roster returns and ignoring age-related changes might sneak the Dodgers up to 100 but even that would be pretty rare by projection standards. Last year's final ZIPs, for instance, saw the projections range from 64 (baltimore) - 93 (Dodgers), where reality had 4 teams below 64 and 6 teams at 93 or above.

Haha yeah, the Cubs trading AS talent for this kind of return is nuts. Blue Jay's would have to throw in like, at least 2-3 17 year old A-ball guys for Jed to bite.

here's how much of a dum-dum i am: the first several times i saw someone write they wanted to trade for a TOR starter, i kept thinking how many good pitchers do the Jays have and why does everyone want them?

What’s funny is that it 100% takes the pitcher out of the game, and you only have like 4 RPs so if that happens to your guy in the first you’re hosed for like 3 games

Yea and 2K hasn't made a baseball game in nearly 10 years now with this last one they made being on a last minute renewal of the license. It just seems odd since Sony let it go to the other consoles while also porting their own exclusives over to PC and The Show didn't make the cut could just be a weird rights thing between MLB and MLBPA holding it up like zoux said even though MLB is co-publishing the Xbox/Switch versions

Tony Phillips posted:This just happened. Short relief appearance. I like it when you have a mobile catcher and a slow catcher or DH is hitting and your catcher can get the out at first, despite the death of your pitcher. That's dedication to the play. Also, you can hit a ball directly into the groin of the pitcher, and they don't suffer an injury, just a loss in their mojo (morale).

KICK BAMA KICK posted:The "absurdly preliminary" '23 ZiPS projections just leaving current FAs out of it entirely, have Atlanta leading MLB at 96 wins somehow? I was about to say that no matter who MN picks up, they will get 85 wins and just barely miss the division while being miles back of a wild card. They could somehow land Correa and Verlander AND Kershaw and still somehow collapse in August.
