If the GG voting is still the same formula where managers and coaches are 75% of the vote I just....I can't take it seriously. Of course I spent my formative years watching Derek Jeter get multiple Gold Gloves and Rafael Palmeiro get one when he spent almost the entire season as a DH so my view of them is eternally tainted.

The 2020s Astros strike me as akin to the 1990s Chicago Bulls in a way: incredibly successful in spite of the fact that they have a miserable rear end in a top hat cheapskate owner.

Everyone's favorite "225-pound" C/3B/1B, Willians Astudillo, is going to continue his pro career with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in Japan.

Maybe the Yankees keep losing in the post-season because deep down they know that their fanbase doesn't deserve a championship team.STAC Goat posted:Yeah I can’t imagine them playing games or seeing a way to spin losing Judge. They played hardball with him last spring and this is the cost. Losing him now would be the sort of poo poo fans talk about for generations.  before dumping said truck full of money on his doorstep.

What if it turned out that the price to pay for having Jeffrey Maier helping kick-start their 1990s dynasty was that the Yankees basically had to become MLB's Sisyphus of the 21st Century?

bawfuls posted:Yes, if you crunch the numbers as Eric Stephen did, it becomes clear the Dodgers are going to be just over the tax this year. To get under they’d need to shed salary in trade, by moving valuable pieces or dumping good prospects along with bad money. Both options make the team worse so the rich fucks who own the team need to suck it up and pay for their Bauer mistake.

Niwrad posted:They are very deep in good, not great pitching prospects. I don't necessarily think that's bad considering how much pitching prospects vary as they develop. Hope being that a couple guys will turn into frontline starters and others can provide depth. Their problem of course is they have never been able to develop pitching.

Related Hall of Fame note: former Indians prospect/washout Alex Ramirez was voted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame....last week? He hit 380 home runs in 13 season in Japan and also managed an NPB team for five years. He was elected along with Randy Bass - the first two foreign-born players elected in three decades.

Criminal Minded posted:Leaping back to a post from like six or seven pages ago re: Ozzie Smith, from 1982 to 1992 the guy had a 96 OPS+ at a time where like only two shortstops could hit at all. And he was the best fielder in baseball history. He had no power but he got on base, he was a great baserunner, he slapped lots of doubles. There's nothing remotely questionable about his greatness, he approached 80 WAR. The difference, of course, being that Brooks didn't end up on the Orioles because of a dumb trade (sorry Padres fans).

Criminal Minded posted:they still might not overcome how brutal the Steve Carlton trade was, zero-sum Oddly enough, even though he didn't get it and the Phillies were in last that season might be the best argument for a pitcher winning MVP in the expansion era. If you look it up at BBRef, you'll see that Carlton went 27-10 and the rest of the Phillies starters went something like 17-57.
