No one would take that Stanton contract There is a reason that the Marlins backloaded it at the time (other than them knowing they would not be the ones paying it)

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:I'm just sick of the last 3+ years of the national baseball media soiling themselves over how good this guy is and how special and what a "unicorn..." Then the last year has been nonstop, "Will he be traded? If he goes to FA will he resign with the Angels? What about a mystery team? He probably wants to stay on the West coast...how does that affect his market?" Then he blows out his arm and won't even pitch for a year+ but still wants $50 million or more per year and carte blanche to determine his own schedule and routine and a gurantee that he can pitch again... Suffice it to say I'm not interested in the nonsense. Happy the Yankees don't seem to be making serious overtures in his direction. Legendary Ptarmigan posted:Get back to me when the guy wins a team award. If he and Mike Trout were that good, those two and 24 jabronies should have been able to back into a number 6 seed for the playoffs at least once.

Bregor posted:Sparky Anderson? Sparky only played one year in the majors. Imasalmon posted:Smoltz? Nope, forgot about his brief stints in his last season. Right, he pitched like 50 innings with the Cardinals and Red Sox to demonstrate to everyone's satisfaction that he was finished. But also he played his first 2+ seasons for Chuck Tanner and Russ Nixon before Cox took over as manager. Well Played Mauer posted:DiMaggio maybe? I think he was exclusively under Stengel. Nope, Joe McCarthy was his manager the majority of his career actually. waffy posted:Jim Palmer? Good guess, but Hank Bauer was his manager his first 3 years, and Joe Altobelli his last 2. I also got a PM which I hope the person doesn't mind I quote without attribution: quote:I just lurk the thread now but my guess for longest time with only one manager: Mel Ott. Let me know if I’m right? Inspired, but Ott's career was just too drat long. He played for McGraw and Terry, and managed himself his last 6 years. GPTribefan posted:Is it Don Drysdale? I think he was with Alston from start to finish  WE HAVE A WINNER! Don Drysdale played 14 seasons (1956 to 1969), all of them for Walter Alston. Mike Scioscia played 13 seasons (1980 to 1992), all of them for Tommy Lasorda. Sandy Koufax also played his entire 12 season career (1955 to 1966) for Alston, and there may be others at 12. Kirby Puckett actually played for Billy Gardner the first season of his 12 year career, Tom Kelly the rest.

Just need to point out that Christy Matthewson is one weird single start with the Reds (LOL - a complete game 8 run WIN) from being the answer with 17 seasons under John McGraw. Edit : VVVV - well poo poo. I guess I forgot McGraw start date there. Tony Phillips fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Dec 1, 2023 |

Not quite! Mathewson started with the Giants in 1900. John McGraw didn't get there until 1902. If that weren't true you could totally put Mathewson in there with an asterisk IMO, since Mathewson was his own manager for that one start.

Still funny/sad that the answer isn't some player under Connie Mack considering the lack of free agency and him being the owner/manager. But whoops - every few years it was time to sell everyone off.

It's also just that it's very common for star players to go to another team for the last couple years of their career. For instance, Gettysburg Eddie Plank played 14 seasons for Mack... then jumped to the Federal League, where at age 39 he was the best pitcher in the FL in its second and final season, then pitched a couple years for the Browns before finding his life's calling as a Gettysburg battlefield guide.

Giancarlo can come hit bombs in GABP in exchange for Jonathan India if the Yankees are paying 2/3 of his salary in imaginationland.

FlamingLiberal posted:So I just looked at the ‘best’ Angels 1st round picks since Trout, and the two that are basically identical in terms of BWAR are Randal Grichuk and CJ Cron at about 12 BWAR Grichuk didn't even play a game for the Angels until 2023. Over 1/4 of his career bWAR is from his rookie season in St. Louis.

It's cute how Stanton is talked about like he's a commodity with any value at all, and definitely not a 34 year old DH who hasn't been healthy in 5 years and put up an 87 OPS+ last year

Artix posted:O's supposedly kicking the tires on Hader, Chapman, Kimbrel, and Hicks. Hader I'll believe when I see it and not a second before, and Chapman can gently caress off but Hicks seems like that might be a good buy? Even for a team that's going to spend no money because John Angelos is a piece of poo poo, 3-4 years at 8-10 mil should be very affordable and would help close that hole at the back of the bullpen right now. Hicks is the last reliever I would want to sign to a multi year contract. Velocity guy with an injury history and bouts of inconsistency? Cardinals fans can put me in my place but I feel like I have seen enough of him to where I hope a team I don’t like gives him a fat contract.

My official statement: The Cubs are an acceptable place for Shohei. The Blue Jays are slightly less acceptable and also a weird place for him, but still overall acceptable. I will be able to buy jerseys without feeling bad. No other teams will be considered acceptable. This list is complete.

We interrupt Ohtani Cubsposting to inform the Twins fans that Cory Provus is the new TV PbP announcer for the aforementioned Twins baseball club. Good. Get him the gently caress away from Dan Gladden and into the booth with Morneau or Perkins or literally anyone else.
