I grabbed SD +1150 ten minutes after the trade last night. I was already looking at them as possible value as is. Now go get YU.

What else we looking at this year?

I feel like this group always finds a good RSW or two. What teams you feeling?
 
Mets will probably be a trendy RSW over especially now with an owner ready to drop some serious jack. Hoping Bauer goes to the Angels and out of the NL.

Nats could be sneaky, especially if they somehow get Realmuto.

Also would be nice to know if there will be a universal DH next year or not.

This is how you build, AND take advantage of the prime years of all star caliber players. Exactly what the Halos failed to do with Trout.

Top farm system, yet they held onto almost all of their top talent. Patino (#3) was the most the gave up. Gore is a future Kershaw, and he and Paddack will be battling it out for the #5 spot. Just an excellent rotation, especially in 2022 with Clevenger back. Excellent pen, if they resign or add one, too.

They have Tatis for 6 more years if he were to leave in free agency, so now's the time. Machado in his prime, and solid around the IF. 2 intriguing players at 2B. Can go on, but it's a lineup that'll be exciting/productive. Gonna be epic divisional battles between them and LA for years to come. Difference from the old days is that they'll both be in the postseason no matter what, so excellent value there.

Once they get to the playoffs too my god

Assuming they go 3 starters early, lament, Snell, Darvish with gore and paddock as swing guys in relief.... scary

Adding Kim will help too, surprised he was so cheap, and also up the middle their D is gonna be incredible with him and tatis

The Angels problem is that they never had any good young players besides Trout. Preller is second to none when it comes to building a farm system. Look at what has happened to Texas since he left.

The Angels spent plenty of money trying to win with Trout but you can’t win exclusively on big free agent signings and they never drafted and developed well enough to win. San Diego has become a powerhouse after Preller changed course after making a fool out of himself trading away prospects for washed up has beens like Kemp.
 
Padres with another nice under the radar move picking up an underrated Musgrove from the Pirates. Pittsburgh will be the worst team in MLB & may compete for the worst team of the past 20 years with the 2003 Tigers & 2018 Orioles.

The NL Central is by far the worst division in baseball and the Pirates could lose 110. What a joke organization they are.

im kinda shocked they didn’t get the DH in place, thought for sure that was gonna stick.

their roster kinda says that but playing so many games against the central might get them up over 62 wins, barely.
 
I still like the fish, that rotation has some young studs. The East looks pretty tough tho. I dunno if they can hang for 162?

My final bets.
Pirates under
Royals over
Mariners over
Braves under.

Nats WS +5000

good value on nats. I don’t see much reason they not back this year with all the additions they made? I got them at like 35-1 at all star break year they won it :) id think the pitchers be much better off now after getting to rest last year after the WS run that taxed them! Of course not off to a great start with apparent covid issues. I know we all talking bout pads and doyers out west but the East looks really freaking tough top to bottom! Like the opposite the central, lol.

Yeah it's gonna be a grind for the NL East. Figure Dodgers and Pads are locks. So that leaves just two spots for the NL East.

Just like the value on the Nats. Bell and Schwarber help. I'll take my chances with Stras and Max in a playoff series if they make it. Just worried a bit about Max's age.

I would think the limited innings last year be a help? They brought in Lester also, even at his age he could be a really strong 4th! I’ll take a healthy Stras vs just bout anyone to win a playoff game, he has proven it!
 
Think phils biggest issue just the strength of the East, if you stuck them or Marlins in the central think both could compete for the top!

They brought it in last year due to the uncertainty of getting all the scheduled games in.

12 games into the abbreviated season last year, I was cashing a monster! Alas, the season didn't get cancelled that day, so it went up in smoke.

yea makes sense. I realized that was the most likely case after the 1st post. My fingers sometimes get ahead of my brain! lol
 
12 games into the season! Lol, just caught that. Ive often wished a game would just end already, never a whole season!! That woulda been something had they called it off after 12 days and you got paid!!
 
I worry bout rays this year, replacing couple stud starting pitchers with some old or kinda washed up potential bums, I know they no strangers to overhauling but hopefully they have some young studs in the works to come up? Also think their pen already has suffered some injury setbacks. Throw on top of that the jays on the rise, I think balty can be somewhat competitive (for awhile anyways), and Red Sox prob being better think it be tough for rays this year.

clear attention to high velocity fastballs in the revamped pen. I'm not a huge fan, but Bradley definitely throws hard if that's the only thing you care about when retooling a bullpen

power arms are def in vogue, think I’d prefer my guys to be able to pitch a little bit! I’d happily sacrifice a few tics of velo for some control!
