But how many of those are ranked just because they are a warm body. Like a WR taken behind hooker, does he have a value of two just cause he saw snaps? If he saw snaps and sucked what does it matter? QB is the only position where mostly just one guy and that's it the entire time. Seems a bit apple to oranges, no? Like Kendre Miller was taken just a couple spots later. He has a weighed value of 3. He has never had more than 150 yards in either season. How much of htat is just him existing versus being a productive player?

He's a third round pick. 90 percent never amount to anything

It’s not the nfl or nfl where you have good players on free agency. In mlb now, it’s basically a couple top end guys, and then a bunch of 33 year olds that are just a shuffle the chair situation. Remember most mlb player don’t hit free agency until 30 at the earliest cause of how the system is set up (drafted at 21, few minor league seasons and then six years of team control) most are old or broken or both, so when critiquing we also have to look at what was available. Wasn’t like he signed these guys with with some 27 year old there willing to take a 1/13

Remember just cause you can do algebra doesn't mean your ready for AP calc

There are currently 24 lefties, both starters and relievers, in the majors whose fastball averages at least 95 mph

lol they can try doing it 365.

A) I am OK with trading most prospect. B)Chas is right on this one. No reason to make a trade just to make one and lots go in it so just blaming one person with no details or anything is a bit unfair. Maybe another team hates our prospect, nothing you can do. Maybe the player begged not to play there and his old team helped, nothing you can do. C) no guarantee a trade makes you better. If we beat the Yankees and go to the ALCS, its not gonan matter.

These are the high profile moves i hoped for. Bye Bye Skubal

Again, most articles this time of year way over estimate teh cost.

Yes rare, meaning in frequent, not never, which is why I said rare. But outside of that can you remember any 4 for 6 deadline swaps involving multiple big leaguers? Would you remember price if we weren’t involved? almost all deadline deals are 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 swaps where a major leaguer goes for prospects

Trades that complicated rarely happen at the deadline

At this point price is always speculated higher than it actually is. Remember last year one top 100 guy got moved.

Not a lot of good 26 year olds available

You only need to get to 2 to beat Skeens.

Not even close. These read like Monroe and inge for Pujols

No they dont. They did in 1995, not today. If your bad you dont care about filling those innings well. And 4a guys you have your own stable so no reasons to add someone else's. Everyone would rather have a lottery ticket and that's exactly what teams took last year at the deadline. Guys like Ennis, Jung have little value. They can be traded but it would be for like a blah bullpen arm.

Super pumped when I pulled a 10/10 purple refractor of a series 2 standard pack at target. Even better it was a tiger. It was Alex Cobb

Drafting one player you've never seen play over another play you've never seen play

I was in the right field ones

That's jsut silly. Everybody and thier mother would do that deal.

Portland - It seems like there is a BGH here and people have romanticized Portland as a baseball town, since baseball does have an appeal to more intellectual folks. But has minor league baseball ever thrived in Portland? Plus, the politics in Portland is a nightmare. Someone isn't up on their current events. The legislature just passed a bill for $800 million in bonds for the stadium

Cause it's a big overpay

Its Bowden, there is a reason he ain't a GM anymore

you are allowed to do it two years in a row
