Philly is literally and geographicly d.c. north now .
-
Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Phillies and free agent shortstop Trea Turner are in agreement on an 11-year, $300 million contract.
-
I would say Degrom.signing is some meat on the bone
-
Henry kicked my ass, the master of the big inning (consecutive rolls on his card )
-
Its 19.99 for two seasons of play. If you recall you pick your park then we auction draft. As pat found out ballpark effects are huge
-
I believe each season takes four weeks to complete of daily play of 6 games per night
-
Mikey would get Joe , joes son, nzncy etc..I could send out the invites
-
Mikey and myself are thinking about starting up Strato league again to bridge the gap to throwback day. Last time we had Henry, Schmeggs Mikey, Pat, Hook and myself from here as well as six others .if you recsall you get two seasons with the purchase , so 2021 season regular and unabridged version would be natural choices
-
I'm not optimistic , but hopefully there is some meat on the bone at this years Winter Meetings . Last several years it has been.mostly middle relief, platoon OF, retreds returning from Asia, and former big names ( like bellinger) getting a one year deal. Would be nice if some players of significance ( like trea turner ) would get signed and sone big trades made
-
Geez I owned Harper in all three leagues I'm in at or near 60$ in each.
-
I was going to keep Harper in both leagues , wonder how much he will go for at auction now . Have to think a rebuilder will go up to 40$ maybe
-
I’d like to trade some prospects for expensive bats. Make me some offers!

In 2018 he missed a couple months after having a bone broken by a HBP. An oblique strain in 2019. Neither are reasons to thing “injury prone” (repeated oblique strains, maybe). It seemed there was a lot of “too big to play baseball” nonsense—which we should be way past by now.

Judge being injury-likely was a really common take in his early years. 2018 & 2019 seemed to be good evidence. But last two years he's been a horse. The iron giraffe.

btw, Hoskins has 11.5 fWAR since 2017. He’d be tied with Brett Gardner and Mitch Haniger at 32nd on this list. Was he really in our discussion with Judge and Belly (12th)?

Another way to look at it: the top-10 guys on this list are Judge, Betts, Trout, Soto, Yelich, Springer, Harper, Marte, Acuña, and Bryant. Would you really be surprised if Judge played in more games next year than say 5 of these guys? I guess I expect Betts, Soto, and (I hope) Acuña to play more games than Judge. Maybe Harper if his recovery goes well but he’ll just be DHing.

Here’s a quiz for you Brew: think of the 20 best OF by total fWAR since 2017 (Judge’s first full season). Judge is first on this list in fWAR—where do you think he is in games played? Do you think he’s in the top 10 or the bottom 10 of these guys in games played? Maybe it’s not fair to include Acuña and Soto so let’s replace them with the next 2 OFs—now where’s Judge?

Maybe a total games appeared bet would be easier.

Judge does not have a baseball body, same as Stanton. This past year IMO will be his high water mark for plate appearences . I'd be willing to set an over under bet on his at bats for next year a little closer to the season .
-
Full circuit 5 years ago: 3 year trade ignites much discussion about the future relative value of Rhys Hoskings, Judge, and Bellinger.
Full Circuit today: Judge’s 62nd home-run ball goes up for auction and Bellinger is released.

Here is the Dave hill obit for the four of you that knew him, even mentions his passion for fantasy sports : https://www.kahlemoore.com/obituary/David-Hill
-
I joined Henry and Mikey's league as well, and already have had three trade offers
-
CEASE got runner up for Cy Young
-
Nice pick up of Bieber for Gray and Ward over there Mikey
-
i looked at that Mikey, the available team wasnt half bad, and this league is full of mizers and thieves , very few fair offers
-
I joined Henry’s other league and have already made five trades. I think maybe we’ve gotten a little complacent here…
-
He didn't care for Eric or Nick so much
-
yeah, that is sad news. i definitely enjoyed interacting with him. always good for a laugh
thats 3 people now that we've lost from that league now. AARIP, indeed
-
Wow that’s sad. I enjoyed playing with him in AARIP
-
He also enjoyed playing with and especially against Charles in H2H
-
John, Kevin, Brent.....Dave Hill died of a heart attack on Saturday at age 55. He liked you guys very much. His personality was very much like Brent, happy go lucky, got along with everyone . He was the original Big Lummox.
-
Of course surprising things actually happen…I was pretty surprised anyone on my team not named Yordan or Strider got hit with any arb $$.

It would be pretty surprising/disappointing if Grissom has a starting job at any position for the Braves going into 2023.

I put Grissom on my trade block, if Swanson signs elsewhere that changes things

Day 1 trade! Nice work.

Yeah, Bat, I think it's unusual and I also realized during arbing that I was spending a disproportionate amount on pitching across all my leagues. Just a bunch of really good young arms right now

Beer got the least arbitration at 14$ , close to the minimum of 11$
-
I was told when I started in the league that nobody's arbs pitchers or prospects so much , and to not arb guys I want to trade for
-
Perhaps younger and or comeback SP that were lower priced had break out years
-
(I didn’t count Ohtani in the 7 so I guess it’s 7.5.)

Anyone else feel like they spent a surprising amount of arb $$ on pitchers this year? Looks like 7 of our top 11 arb targets are SPs (and I put $1 on all these guys too except Strider who I couldn’t arb and Manoah). I don’t know if this really is unusual but it feels like it is.

If anyone is interested in another league, there's an opening in a league I just joined. Here's the team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1350/team?team=9260
It's a $20 league with a $80 side pot so there's good cash prizes. And lots of experienced managers.
Message me if you're interested and I can figure out how to connect you to the commissioner.
