OT: MLB Thread - Part XIX: Yankees Hire Boone. Joe Buck Still Unenthused

[Ghost of jas]

Is nothing sacred?

After last night’s first period, I would say not anymore.

Not to mention what Kreider did in the third period is illegal in 36 states.

 

[Cassano]

Maybe a comparison for Judge when he hits free agency.

 

[Machinehead]

Even in preseason, we apparently use whiffleball bats against Houston.

Judge will get a bigger deal than that I think. That Altuve extension kicks in 2020.

 

[Cassano]

Andujar sent down to AAA. See you in June.

 

[ThirdEye]

Kind of disappointing that neither Torres nor Andujar stuck, but not really unexpected. Andujar probably being the bigger disappointment considering how hot he started off and he's not recouping from an injury like Gleyber is.

Oh well, bring on the season already

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Incredible.

 

[Crease]

Incredible.

By next week three will be prepping for surgery #mets

Who here is modelling baseball for DFS purposes? @SA16 ? I may try my hand at that this season.

Adrian Gonzalez is f***ing horrible. Even if you're not a fan of Dom Smith, what the Mets are doing right now is sheer lunacy.

My body will be ready for the team to DFA him after he has already taken like 100 regular season plate appearances.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Dom is injured and he's not really proven himself yet anyway, but Gonzalez should not make the team. I don't think Callaway is dumb, I think Gonzalez will barely play, if he even makes the team. I'm worried about our offense though, we've barely scored any runs this spring.

I play but I don't have my own model for MLB. I had made a relatively simple one a few years back for FD but never updated it when I transitioned it over to DK.

The thing with baseball is so much is already known/solved that there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Just take one of the several very good season long systems publicly available and make adjustments from there for a specific day.

Makes sense. Probably have better luck breaking hockey. Instead of playing baseball could use the off-season to make that happen.

The average person is FAR worse at hockey. Not even remotely close. In baseball having Trout 70%+ owned on days isn't too uncommon. In hockey (barring 2-3 game days or some super egregious price) you very rarely see anyone even close to that.

Just for the lulz, how would you react to a Gary Sanchez-Aaron Sanchez swap?

Is this a real post?

Who is Aaron Sanchez?

 

[Cassano]

Who is Aaron Sanchez? He won the ERA title at age 23 and was just as highly regarded as Syndergaard when both were in the Blue Jays farm system.

And yet Syndeegaard is a much better pitcher than him. No I would never swap Gary Sanchez for Aaron Sanchez.

The ignore feature was made for certain people.

I suggest you use it.

I tend to enjoy the out of the norm ideas, unless they are absolutely completely insane trade proposals as we have seen from some.

Was is very different from is

Sanchez may be the best hitter on this stacked team

And the other Sanchez lost almost all of last year due to blister problems. One is locked in as an all-star, the other may have difficulty ever pitching a full season. (I should know, I had the latter as a keeper on my fantasy squad going into last season.)
