Silly thought "experiment" that's been rattling around my noggin

If each division made a team using All Star rules of at least one representative from each team, which division would field the best squad?

I know Mets and Braves had a lackluster postseason showing, but I think the NL East would be pretty solid, though guys like Albies and Chisolm being injured hurts things a bit.

But Alcantara, deGrom, Scherzer, Wright, Strider (also assuming fully healthy), Fried is a p solid rotation, plus Diaz and Iglesias in the pen.

Honestly I expected the Giants to sit it out a couple years given the surging Dodgers and Padres, so it'd be neat if they said actually nah gently caress that noise and went all in on signing Judge + a couple other top tier FA's. That said Judge's all fields HR approach would get suppressed to hell and back by Oracle.

Imagine setting the AL home run record one year and the MLB triples record the next

Hearing the Braves are considering a trade that would send Jesse Chavez to Atlanta for Jesse Chavez. Mixed feelings, obviously. I love Chavez and want him back, but not if Atlanta has to give up Chavez to get Chavez.

The Astros made the World Series without Verlander in 2021 and also ran Rodon in under 3 during the playoffs that year.

Maybe losing JV will be a huge blow, but I don't see it given how 2021 played out.

I also look forward to another complete replication of the 2021 World Series. As a Barves fan, thank you for this endorsement

No problem. Would you like to hear in grave detail about how Jorge Soler crushed my hopes and dreams? I had a wonderful view from Section 209.

Shout out watching enormous Cuban men obliterate home runs in games 6 to propel our preferred team to a World Series victory, may it continue for 10000 years (Atlanta just gotta find a new one for next year)

Red Sox are signing Adam Duvall.

1 year, $7 million, which means he's going to earn $2.3 million purely to strike out. Worth a gamble, though, that he will produce a positive WAR and stay healthy. Dude can deliver some moonshots.
