    When the Angels make a big off season signing, it means the players career went in the shitter.

    Thought there was a Giancarlo Stanton thread somewhere.

    Oh well. Cards have to keep looking.

    cant argue with that...they might be sneaky good if ohtani is any good...trout/ohtani/upton/Calhoun aint a bad little middle of the lineup..

    Great news for the Dodgers. This totally kills the Marlins' ability to negotiate and drive up his trade value.

    LOL Cardinals. You can't really blame a person of color if they don't want to live in Missouri.

    marlins are threatening to tear the team around Stanton down if he doesn't give in to letting them trade him to one of the teams that will give them the best deal...



    somebody needs to teach jeter a lesson in leverage and negotiations...

    Stanton could have saved everybody a lot of trouble if he had decided this up front.

    Dodgers may have the best team in baseball now so why would they make the major change it would take to get him.

    Just tidying a post you no doubt made in haste.

    I’m a stickler for accuracy when it comes to the Dodgers. Too much myth & hyperbole. Please check that shit at the door

    TIA

    Thanks but just throwing National League in there would have been enough.

    Lol @ Ohtani saying he "felt a bond" with the Angels, who coincidentally have the current ownership group most willing to just light money on fire. I'm sure there is an extension drawn up already for Pujols type money, but the Angels will have to wait a bit to stay "in the rules". I kind of hope he just crashes hard out of the gate.

    Also don't really think he is going to hit much, unless he is an absolute stud doing both right from the jump. Just pitching in the AL isn't going to do him any favors either. If after the first month if he is putting up just around league average stats both hitting and pitching, it'll be "ok kid, time to just focus on pitching" time. Don't forget the Japanese league season is about a month shorter than MLB. He hasn't started more than 24 games in a season yet. If he does both regularly he will be hitting a wall come August. Also, while the pitching looks to translate well, his hitting doesn't really stand out anyway.

    Don’t forget Bird who was out much of the year

    Get rid of Headley or Sanchez (defensive liability) and this is win x 162

    Ridiculous offense

    If you took + 650 my hats off to you

    I think Judge will regress a fair bit. His BABIP was so high coupled with his high K rate. He'll probably hit a ton of dingers, but that OPS will fall.

    think youre right...he had that one brutal stretch at the end where he was K-ing in damn near every game...I was surprised he had a good of a year as he did...at 6'7 I cant believe there isn't a ton of ways to exploit him because he's so big...

    He was getting raped by umpires on low pitches called for strikes. Strikes for typical humans but obvious balls for him. Force of habit was hard to break for Umps

    This became a talking point during playoffs and you could see the umpires’ adjustment as it obviously got back to the league that this was proving a public MLB embarrassment

    So who has to adjust exactly?
