Well that Padre experiment didn't last too long.

 

[Dominican Power]

Todd Frazier is alright and all but dude isn't all that.

 

[Malo]

Judge and Mateo for Tyson Ross.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Aubrey Huff has announced plans to come out of retirement. Get hyped, everyone.

 

[Silver Arrows]

if their team is going to be awful the Braves are going to need something to draw people to the games....the Chipper as Manager dream is alive!

Does Chipper espouse Sandy Hook conspiracy theories during the seventh inning stretch?

 

[CygnusXS]

Judge and Mateo for Tyson Ross.

What about Judge and Mateo and Sanchez for Teheran? He had some issues maintaining consistency with his mechanics last year, but his stuff is still all there, he's signed through 2020, and he'll just be 25 next season.

if he did that he wouldn't have time for a hot wings run.

Sub out Sanchez for someone else. I highly doubt they trade him now that the back-up catcher position has been opened up.

 

[Dominican Power]

Judge and Mateo for Tyson Ross.

Are you out of your mind? Tyson Ross isn't worth all of that.

 

[Malo]

Ross' strike out rate and groundball rate tho. Also, Judge's play at AAA has soured me on him a bit.

Kapielian. Although I might also accept Jagielo and Cave instead.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Zack Wheeler can be had people

 

[Malo]

Kapielian. Although I might also accept Jagielo and Cave instead.

From Baseball America:

RHP James Kaprielian (1st) was working at 92-94 and touching 96 this summer, which is a bit higher than the college scouting reports. Also, both his slider and changeup received 65 grades on the 20-80 scouting scale

Kaprielian isn't getting traded breh. You can have cave tho.

Zack Wheeler can be had people

Gardner for Wheeler.

 

[Dominican Power]

And his walk rate. I can only imagine what would happen if he gets in trouble in Yankee Stadium. And I take minor league numbers with a grain of salt.

I support this.

His walk rate isn't great but it isn't atrocious. His ability to get ground balls is elite, and he strike out a lot people, he's exactly the type of pitcher you want in Yankee Stadium.

As for judge, he always had some issues with off speed pitches, but once he got to AAA it got magnified. Now, I'm not saying he's Pedro from Major League, but it's something he clearly has to work on.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I support this.

Five months into his tenure:

Mariners acquire Leonys Martin from the rangers for Tom Wilhemsen.

DiPoto wheelin' and dealin'!

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Well now the Mariners have a CFer. He doesn't seem to hit much, but at least he is competent defensively.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

light hitting CFs are a Mariners tradition.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Someone needs to give Juan Pierre a chance.

 

[jbug617]

Mariners acquire Leonys Martin from the rangers for Tom Wilhemsen.

Full details

@RangerBlake: The Rangers have acquired RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, OF James Jones, and a PTBNL from Seattle for RHP Anthony Bass and OF Leonys Martin.

 

[BFIB]

light hitting CFs are a Mariners tradition.

We have a Jon Jay ready, willing, and able. Well, ready and willing.

 

[Future Foundation]

Kris Bryant wins NL ROY. Apparently, it was a unanimous pick?

Either way, congrats.

EDIT: Yes it was!

EDIT #2: Carlos Correa wins AL ROY. Lindor finishes in 2nd, Sano ends up in 3rd.

 

[jello44]

Good, Correa wins ROY

 

[rando14]

Bluemax is rolling in his grave....

 

[jello44]

Votes were 124-109

Wow

 

[Dominican Power]

Correa only won because he's more popular right now.

 

[jbug617]

Here are the ballots where you can see who voted for who.

I think it's because he started so hot while Lindor took a few weeks to get going. Correa instantly made a huge impact so the narratives were already set in stone for many, feels like.

 

[Chris R]

Mariners acquire Leonys Martin from the rangers for Tom Wilhemsen.

Noooooooooooo not the bartender Fuck, he really turned it around last season after we got rid of fucking Rodney. Also looks like we lost Jones too.

FUCK

I guess it will all be worth it if we make the playoffs next season.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Duffy 2nd place. He didn't have a great last month, which probably sealed it for Bryant.

 

[zroid]

:lol

 

[CygnusXS]

I was just reading BPro's scouting report on Newcomb, and I realized he's now the best pitching prospect the Braves have had since Julio Teheran. I'm still not satisfied with him as the return for Simmons, but Newcomb could be really special.

 

[Windu]

speaking of Baseball Prospectus. Does anyone subscribe? Is it worth it?

:lol

McCarthy got dat Twitter game on LOCK

 

[Meier]

Join the GAF OOTP league already. ;P

SF has been doing terribly the last two seasons under my reign, lol. Injuries and Bochy retiring didn't help at all.

I'm late to the party on the new version -- only just bought it the other day since it was $10. I've actually done this for the past few seasons.. I buy Football Manager usually upon release but OOTP much later. Could do the same with FM too to be honest.

 

[BumRush]

MetsGAF, besides a solid 8th inning option, what should be our number one external priority (I'm assuming Murphy is replaced by Herrera at 2B)?

I need to get into OOTP.

As for FM, I skip it every other year. Helps keep it fresh.

Plenty of openings in the GAF league still, including the Doyers I believe.

In other news, Giants trying to give an extension to Crawford.

Now that he's an All-Star Gold Glove Silver Slugger winning shortstop with multiple World Series rings, I'm guessing he'll be asking for a lot more.

 

[CosmicQueso]

No really, if you own OOTP and like the beisbol, join the GAF league. It's great fun, low pressure, and we're currently just starting the offseason prior to the 2018 season. Now's the time to get in.

It's great fun. Someone has to unseat the 2017 World Champion D'Backs.

Need a SS if you ask me. Solid defensively with this pitching staff.

 

[jbug617]

Jose Fernandez Speculation

@CraigMish: Growing sentiment around Baseball and internally with the @marlins is Jose Fernandez will be traded this offseason.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Jose Fernandez Speculation

o damn. they'll get a real nice package for Jose based on what Kimbrel got.

 

[jbug617]

2016 is David Ortiz last year. I guess Hanley will play 1st for 1yr before moving to DH

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.
