Rhys finally got signed (I saw it was posted earlier but here's the report)
Congrats man.
Congrats man.
It does look like he figured something out, but we only have a little over 38 innings of proof.Stephenson to Angels be glad he didn't sign in Philly. He is very volatile in production year to year.
That's quite the fall after the unknowns were added. He was at 39.4% in the public ballots. He and Sheffield had the biggest drops.
Vizquel was at 11% in public. I believe he had the biggest increase.
Let's just say those opinions track with what I think of non-public voters. Sexual harassment is bad and all, but don't you dare have a peak less than a decade.
Not a great crop added to the ballot next year. I guess Ichiro & Sabathia are the only ones that could go in first ballot if at all of that group.
Pedrioa got more award recognition but Utley has noticeably better analytics of the two.
Agreed on all of this. I'd be stunned if Ichiro pulled less than 90%, probably 95%. Sabathia could theoretically get in first-ballot, but I expect he'll make it eventually either way. Beyond that, next year feels like a cleanup year for the near misses from this year.Ichiro is a lock. He'll get 90+%
CC and Felix will get votes too. Either way Utley should see quite a significant increase in votes next year

I am very much looking forward to some games at Camden Yards now that Angelos is gone and the team is worth seeing again.
*Edit*
Both BA top 100 guys, but nowhere near major gets. This did have the feel of it being cheap.
I do not like the lettering or color of the letters. Overall scheme is pretty good
Pretty good? Its f***ing atrocious.
Because baseball actually hires front office people who are qualified to make high level decisions and not former ex-players who overvalue intangibles.It always is for MLB impending FAs. They're comically cheap compared to other sports
