Except that park neutral makes absolutely no sense when they get to play half their games in the best hitting park in baseball

The Legend Continues
They listed gap to gap as an issue? They were 6th in oppo%. Even if Varsho is more pull dominant than Teo you look at that top 4 and that bottom 3, they all show tendencies to go centre/oppo.
Edit: and then they go ahead and list the Braves' and Dodgers' best trait as gap to gap lol.

Maybe Bernard for the 5th outfielder role? He would have to beat out Lopez. Without another outfielder added, this is how I see it.
Outfield: Springer (R) Varsho (L) Kiermaier (L) Merrifield (R) Lopez (R)
Infield: Chapman (R) Bichette (R) Espinal (R) Biggio (L) Gurrerro (R) Belt (L)
Catcher: Kirk (R) Jansen (R)
infield depth minors: Barger
outfield depth minors: Bernard, Lukes
That's pretty good depth.
Bernard will have to beat out Lopez and Lukes for the last spot.

Jays will have to scrap one of their jerseys. Likely and hoping it will be the red one. The greys are my favourite and i know it isnt a popular opinion but i hate the baby blues. They are ugly.
I agree with this;
Another reason to keep the greys. Powder blues should only be kept for Kikuchi. Reds are for Berrios. Everyone else uses regular blue, white or greys
Would have never guessed that Berrios is the only starter to have a winning record with all jerseys.

Genuinely thought i was the only one. Greys are my favorites and i also dislike the baby blues with the dark blue helmet/hats.

You and me both. Despise the baby blues and the reds. Really love the greys. Blues and whites are great.
Would love to see a true retro with the old logo;
I don't like the powder blues and the reds either. Although, I don't mind the powder blue hats.

I like all the jerseys except the red ones, but baby blues need to stay because the hats are a thing of absolute beauty. There isn't a nicer hat in the MLB, and therefore there isn't a nicer hat in the world.

So Margot Robbie turned Mitch White into Ace?
I mean if it is true and I'm not sure it is since I thought she was married, he would be aceing life.

Kinda surprised that with the new rules that they think 111 RBI's will lead the league.
I'm thinking that we will be looking in the 130's.
The greys stink! Keep the baby blues! Red only for Canada Day

I haven't really looked into it but I would guess their predictions are just the median guess for everyone and not a leaguewide prediction as a whole. With hundreds of players variation will exist, some will get lucky, some unlucky, some will perform better than expected, some worse, but models aren’t used to try to figure out which ones will experience the ends of the variation spectrum rather the median for every player. It’s why you often see predictions where the numbers For high end guys are lower than you’d expect, and for low end guys higher than you might expect. For example the crazy Manoah/Kikuchi ERA guesses that was in one of the models posted early in the offseason, but I can’t remember which one.
While Vladdy’s median prediction is the highest, there’s probably 20 or 30 players above 100 and one of them will experience high variation and get to 130 or something. Likewise for pitchers you probably won’t find a model out there picking someone to have a sub 3 ERA despite the fact a few guys do it each year. Perhaps they have DeGrom doing it over 80 innings of something, he’s likely the best bet.
