2020 MLB Thread.

Well, I'll start off by saying this: what the fuck, Yairo Munoz? I've never seen someone bail on his team the way he did. Hopefully Edmundo Sosa can earn a spot on the 26, because he's paid his dues and he's the best defensive utility player we have.

Stipling, May, Nelson and Gonsolin miss out on the rotation and could be better than what some teams trot out.

I'm awaiting the offers for one or more of them. The Dodgers like to have multiple spares, but some nice prospects would be good to nab from a position of strength, to keep the pipeline going.

If any of them get dealt IMO it would be Price and Stripling. Wood and Nelson are free agents next year. Urias has 3 more years of control and Stripling 2. Price though is a question mark with the Sox paying half his salary for the next 3 years. Kershaw is also only signed for this year and next. It's possible we see a rotation in 2022 or 23 that's led by Buehler with Urias, May and Gonsolin behind him.

Probably not Price. The Dodgers have more money than almost any team, and he still had negative trade value.

I hate the DH and the myth it creates offense.

Not sure its a myth?

Couple years outdated but shows the AL with higher runs per game for 42 straight years?

And the funny part to me is look at how much more. You going to tell me scoring 4.02 over 3.98 per game is great fantastic or better baseball? Not sure on that. Also thank you for falling right into the trap, more runs does not equal better baseball.

Hold on, you said it was a myth the DH creates more offense. 42 straight years the AL scored more runs per game. That means it's no myth that the DH creates more offense.
Now you're changing the topic to equalling better baseball? What trap?

Like it or not, the DH is the future of baseball. I'm pretty sure the Dodgers, with their prospect pool, would love to have a guy there to bat for them ahead of, say, Buehler getting hurt running the bases, tweaking a muscle at an at-bat, or getting nailed by a pitch?

The Dodgers are the team set up better than anybody else without a doubt. Doesn't mean I have to like it or think it will be better baseball. Just like stupid fucking gradient numbers on a football uniform.

Good on Price to do that. The minor leaguers need money to sustain themselves, and I'm hoping that the Cardinals aren't one of those teams who cut their minor leaguers instead of paying them.

Good I hope they can't reach an agreement and hurt the sport. So tired of both sides of this argument.

Draft's on today. Cardinals selected Jordan Walker out of a Georgia high school. He's a big third baseman with lighttower power from the right side. I've heard a Kris Bryant comparison, so I'm stoked. I hope we can sign the kid.

I heard more Joey Gallo with his amazing swing and miss.

Was on MLB Network when I heard the Bryant comparison (not from that idiot, Harold Reynolds who picked Jermaine Dye for his comparison, but from someone else, I believe O'Dowd.)

But even Joey Gallo is a good mark to reach towards. When was the last time the Cards had a fifty home run hitter? Mark McGwire, I believe? If Walker reaches that potential, we could have two forty home run hitters in him and Gorman. That's huge.

Speaking of which...Bobby Miller to the Dodgers. What are your thoughts?

Our pick looks like Walker Buehler. Lets hope he turns out the same.
