It is pretty cool. Never been done in MLB History. Hell it would even be rare in beer league softball as youd walk the guy after 3 HR's / 9 RBI even with the bases empty.


In Baseball news, Steven Wright got busted for PED's. A Knuckleball pitcher getting popped is as good as a punter in the NFL getting nailed.

The shift one has to be the stupidest idea I think I've ever heard floated about.
Im shocked the NFL hasn't tried that one, seems more up their alley. Put all the defenses in a prevent to boost the scoring

Banning the shift sounds like what they do in co ed corporate softball. All right everyone, behind the outfield line, and two feet touching the infield infielders.

That's hilarious.

We could try teaching..... actual hitting again instead of launch angles, cattle steriods and pulling the ball.

It's not illegal to be Craig Council or Ichiro. Or is it now?

Why learn about launch angles and pulling the ball to try to turn into the next Jose Bautista, Max Muncy, Josh Donaldson, or JD Martinez when you can learn how REAL hitters hit and be the next Craig Counsell?

Robot umps - I think I’m for this
Banning the shift - lol, retarded
Batting minimum for relievers - probably a good idea
Changing mound distance - terrible idea

Professional hitters need to be professional hitters and hit away from the damn shift

I totally agree. If a guy can’t figure out how to hit to half of the field, he has no one to blame but himself.

Dude how much would Griffey make if signing a contract in his prime right now? A billion?


In the current market, I have to imagine it would be higher than anything we've seen so far.

In the past four seasons:

---Machado has had an average WAR of 5.8 (good for $300m over 10 years)

---Harper has had an average WAR of 4.4 (good for $330m over 13 years)

In his last four seasons in Seattle, Griffey had an average WAR of 7.6. However, he was 29 when he was traded over (was it a sign-and-trade? I can't remember), whereas Harper and Machado are both 26. Still, I think Griffey today would be looking at 8-10 years, $35m per year, easy.

Of course, they there's Trout. He's averaged a 9.2 WAR over the past four years and is 27. If the Angels were looking to offer him a market-value extension, it'd have to be more than $350m for 10, I think. Closer to $400m. There are rumors out there that the Angels might offer him a $350m extension, and I say he'd be crazy to take it.


Boy did I under-value him:

FWIW, looks like reports coming out now that this will absorb and re-distribute the years remaining on his current contract, so it's not truly a flat-out 12/$430m extension.

Awesome for Mike Trout, really disappointing for those of us on the East Coast who hope to see him play ever.

430 million!
