ALL ABOARD

I was planning on making one, I've already talked to multiple people about it here. whats the scoring format and what service did you use

no
yes

All aboard

how is this not a violation of the rules.

STRIKE THREE

Right now it’s just a 5x5 head to head categories league but we can discuss options once enough people join. It’s a free league but if people insist on playing for something i’ll buy the winner a cheap trophy that says “King of /mlb/ autist” on it.

5x5 h2h categories. Obp, runs, hr, rbi, sb and w,k, era,whip, s+h. I’m flexible with it though. I just made it through yahoo because it’s what all my other leagues are on.

Hou-aboard brother!

nope

No

I'm of the opinion that h2h points is better, otherwise guys like billy hamilton and joey gallow are really good in fantasy and that's not a reflection of how actual baseball works

this is the thread don't mind those fake strosposters

I use ESPN in my other leagues, but I made the /mlb/ points league in Yahoo because the new UI for ESPN blows. I would change my other leagues to Yahoo but we've been playing on ESPN for years and nobody wants to change. I'm not sure we could get enough people to play both Categories and Points, we should just do one.

There is a Mariners user that wants to play, he asked that we draft later than 7PM PST, and there is also a Mexican flag user that wants to play.

But I'm a real houston native and fan brother

Awesome, I’m in. We could make fantasy specific threads before the drafts to fill out the leagues. If there’s enough demand another user could make a roto league if people want to do that system as well.

Yup, I think we should be able to get at least 8-10

You play well in the first half, your pitching deficiencies aren't exposed, you trade for Bumgarner at the deadline, and then you meme into the second wild card spot. That's your best chance

My hopes are that Phillips finds himself at the plate Soler dh's and Cuthbert never leaves Nebraska. Other than that I see a below average low 90s/High 80 loss team. Hope we see Singer next year

I'm actually from Bucks County, PA. Saw it in a theater about twenty minutes away from where some of the scenes were shot on opening night. I don't know if someone was fucking around or somebody hit a transformer or what but the power went out right when the first one jumped on the roof in the beginning. Some people were pretty freaked out.

Honestly, I'm still recovering from Saturday night, which isn't the best, but I'm still excited for my Dads. Their first couple games have been satisfying. Honestly not sure how to feel about the Dodgers leaping back into the mix for Harper. On one hand, it'd make games between them must watches, but on the other, it'd increase the difficulty to get to the post-season. A bone fide die hard Yaks fan said on the radio that it feels like a Yankees/Red Sox type of acquisition. I know I'm not the only one, but I'm on the edge of my seat to see how it all turns out.

Not at all. The White Sox were scouting Urias, had Tatis, and were in on getting Machado via FA.
And the Padres got all of them.
So, I don't care about the score of a ST game, but simply found the headline "Padres beat White Sox" particularly humorous from the standpoint of talent acquisition.

TULO WAS A STEAL, LOL

>BLUE GAYS

The farm system has probably been too productive for him to lose his job and he has had some really good acquisitions recently; Mikolas, Goldschmidt, even Gyorko. His whiffs have been pretty bad, though, and would be worse if he wasn't bailed out by the Angels and Cubs over Pujols/Heyward and to a lesser extent Boston with Price.

He also did a lot of shuffling in that outfield for no real tangible result. If they had just kept Piscotty, Pham, and Grichuk they might be better off. It's also hard to believe they felt like they had to drop $80M on Dexter Fowler when they had Bader in the system. Makes you wonder what they are evaluating if they didn't think he could play.

Except bader has never been a top prospect and there's no telling how he'll do over a full season. The cardinals' biggest weakness is still the bullpen and that's where mo deserves the blame desu

Attached: Dz7dld0WkAEthq0.jpg (738x494, 87K)

He can clearly play CF. He is a no doubt CF. They already had Pham as well when signed Fowler. I'm not even sure what you're arguing other than supporting what I said: it's a wonder what they are evaluating in their minor leagues and what they are looking at when they made the decision to give $80M to Dexter Fowler because they "needed a CF" [which is what they said at the time].

Fowler's entire career was spent as an average to slightly below average player in hitter's parks. It would be one thing if they dropped the money and they trucked through bad signings like the real big players do, but all indications are that Fowler is a guy for them moving forward to squeeze what they can out of that contract. Meanwhile Piscotty and Pham were both moved.

It's just weird. I don't really know what you're trying to argue.

Bader will be a 30/30 man this year with 100 RBIs

Well, if Joey Doughnuts says it...

Im not defending the fowler contract Im saying that there's no crystal ball that predicts if guys like pham and bader can actually be good everyday players. Bader has always been a mediocre hitter with really bad splits against right handed pitching, and there's no guarantee he can replicate his defensive numbers from last year, like how 2018 pham was bad defensively even though he was great the year before. also pham spent most of his 20's injured and inconsistent so thats why he was always under the radar
maybe jeff albert can help him strike out less but he's a candidate for regression

>Im saying that there's no crystal ball that predicts if guys like pham and bader can actually be good everyday players.
Across 2015-16, Pham hit .247/.335/.458. You are defending the Fowler contract. You're saying the questions around Bader and Pham, that the Cardinals organization saw every day in the minors or the majors, were worth an $80M+ contract for Dexter Fowler to ameliorate and safeguard against those questions. It really doesn't make sense to bring up Pham's defensive shortcomings in CF in this matter, since Fowler was never a well regarded CF. Again, I don't even know what you're trying to get across.

I'm saying that whatever the Cardinals organization was evaluating in the minor leagues to make them draw the conclusions they did about the players they did and the outside solutions they pursued in light of those conclusions can probably be justifiably scrutinized.

Damn you pwnd him lol. Intellectually cornered his ass. Nice man.

I call him JoDo and I have gambled my family's lives on the accuracy of his tweets many times

well he's right, who the fuck wants to play in Philly?

Was the cardinals signing of the fowler contract a direct response to the cubs signing of the heyward contract? Why were they both such bad contracts?

yes they should swap those contracts maybe they would do better on their original teams

Was J.D. Martinez right?

For?

cbssports.com/mlb/news/red-sox-slugger-j-d-martinez-says-mlb-free-agency-has-become-embarrassing-for-baseball/

Machado just got $300 million.

i seriously hope no team falls for the meme and signs harper for a long term 300MM+ deal. you're fucking yourself over by doing that

What if the who's do?

Meanwhile arbitration players are getting fucked by essentially being forced to sign below-market value. Severino, Nola, and especially Whitt Merifield signed for peanuts because it's their one shot for guaranteed money until they hit the market.

When the strike happens it won't be because of mega contract players. It'll be because a lot of good-mediocre players aren't paid fairly. The distribution of wealth in MLB is fucked right now. I don't know how to fix it - maybe lower the number of arbitration eligible years and increase arb salaries for players who perform at a high tier.

just stop tanking teams

From a marketing stand point, it almost makes sense, from a baseball stand point, not so much.

Agreed. Again though, I'm not sure how to fix this. Maybe institute a salary floor?

Relegation.

Jason Heyward- 25 years old 6.6 WAR produced $180million 8 years

David Price- 30 years old 3.6 WAR $217 million 7 years

Zack Greinke- 32 years old 4.8 WAR $205 million 6 years

Yoenis Cespedes- 30 years old 2.3 WAR $75 million/ 3 years

Johnny Cueto- 30 years old 3.8 WAR $130 million/ 6 years.

Justin Upton- 28 years old 4.3 WAR $133 million/ 6 years

Jordan Zimmermann- 30 years old 3.1 WAR $110million / 5 years

Alex Gordon- 32 years old 2.8 WAR $72m/ 4 years

Chris Davis- 30 years old 5.3 WAR $161m/7years

Yeah, that seems pretty self-evident at this point.
It's a bad look.
On one level, talent and ownership seemingly being unable to agree on talent valuation is bad, and projected to lead to a work stoppage in 2021.
On another though, regardless of salary caps, I was under the impression that MLB ownership is swimming in cash following the most recent broadcast deal. Yes, the sport is the recipient of gloom and doom projections every day, and might not be able to compete from the standpoint of profitability when compared to Handegg, but I also think whether it be due to analytics-based valuation that leads to ownership wanting to pay less, which creates a supply/demand disconnect, or something else, there is the simple image of the people with money, being willing to spend less, which whether it is true or not, might also present an image of "poor baseball owners can't afford to pay what these players deserve" which is embarrassing. I wonder if part of the negotiations leading into 2021 might include ownership lobbying for a salary cap, now the George is dead. It'd arm them with an excuse why they can't pay what players feel they deserve if they can only spend so much to filed a complete team.

I can bet you he and Bryce both thought $300 was going to be where offers began before only going higher and higher. Everyone did. Ron Fowler said himself at eh end of the regular season, that there was no chance the Dads were going after Bryce or Manny, because they couldn't afford to be in the contract ballpark the two were expecting to garner. Don't forget that the team that gave him the $300 Million, only started pursuing him when the White Sox made it clear to the market that $300+ was in fact not where negotiations were averaging, and that they could in fact afford to dip their toe into negotiating with them after all.

>>>/eur/

greinke is the only redeemable one for a contract that size (in retrospect) Upton was criminally overpaid even given his prior trackrecord to 2015.

meant for

Chris Davis has to be the worst contract in American sports right now

SIGN ME FOR 400 MILLION DOLLARS FOR 5 YEARS THE MARKET IS BROKEN

Grienke is like 1 mph loss on his fb from being a complete 5 ERA scrub

cant punish the market for simply changing. besides, theyre still making millions.

can you blame teams for not wanting to shell out the big bucks for players like mark trumbo when they can just reach into their farm system and have more bang for their buck? teams less and less want to pay aging vets while theyre declining and the ageing vets agents' dont want to budge from their asking price (which was derived under contracts signed in a past market)

my point I guess being is that look at how much of those people ended up being flops/overrated due to either injury or other circumstance or just decline in play.

Heyward, Price, Cueto, Upton, Zimmerman, Davis, Gordon, were all awful contracts. Cespedes was alright and Greinke was worth it.Why wouldn't teams be more conservatives just given the track record of 2 years before?
Price although a solid piece is not worth ace money especially at that age.

Aww shit. I'll bet Harper regrets not going with the Whos now.

>going to twitter to find literally who whos fans
But why?

Eloy Jimenez - .200
OH NONO NONONONONONOOOOO

Some of the teams that are tanking are doing so because they spent a lot of money, can't get those contracts off the books, and don't see a way to buy enough good players on the market or have enough players in their system.

Detroit and Baltimore were trying to win within the last couple of years. They bottomed out. The Cubs, Red Sox, and Giants all have high payrolls and the former two have dead or poorly performing money on their books. If the Cubs could move Heyward for even 50% relief, they'd probably be bidding on Harper.

Not at all. Technically, I adore relegation on a conceptual level. I think it'd need to be proven as functional within an American league of a different sport however. I still think it works best if used with MLS and USL, but I think trying to implement it within MLB would alienate the core fandom it can't afford to lose at the moment. With that said, it is absolutely the best way to defend against tanking, but I think you'd have an easier time getting a team to pay Harper 10/350 before Opening Day than convincing MLB to implement it.

I'm following "Harper" in real time and it came up.
