Teams With The Most MLB Rank Players

Mets 6
Dodgers 6
6 in the top 40... that's good right??
1.25 mil for a guy who comes in and pitches to one or two guys most of the time
Altuve at 10 is low. He's coming off a recent MVP season, had great numbers despite being injured part of last year, and is in his prime.

So if he's ever around for Player's Weekend this goes on the back of his jersey right?

The Astros are pouncing on Miley after only a few starts' worth of proof that his adjustments are sustainable, just like they did with Morton two years ago. So don't think of Miley as a replacement for both Keuchel and Morton. Instead, imagine that Keuchel and Morton went off into the woods, got lost, and Keuchel ate Morton before wandering back into Astros camp.
Well that guy is an idiot.
Lol
I think the 3 batter thing is ridiculous.
Are we going to force replacement offensive players stay in 3 innings? For 3 ABs?

That is definitely the most impactful rule change in my opinion. Makes LOOGYs worthless basically.Farmer1906 said:

A 3 batter rule is silly. Sometimes a guy doesn't have it and you have to get him out of there.
In Game 5, Brandon Morrow gave up 2 HR, a 2B and a BB on like 8 pitches. Roberts should have taken him out after 2 batters. Hell, he should never have been used. He clearly didn't have anything as it was his 5th straight game to pitch in. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad he stayed in. But that's because Roberts was an idiot.

If we bring Framer in and he walks the 9 hole on 4 pitchers in a class game then I don't want to have suffer through 2 more batters vs the heart of the line up if he can't find the plate. There are countless other hypotheticals that would go against the 3 batter rule.
If a 3 batter min rule had been in place last year, or the year before, would Tony Sipp ever have been in a game? I'm pretty sure the answer is no. And if he's never in a game why would you even have him on your roster?
This rule would actually hurt fringe players like Sipp. They would never get a contract. I can't believe the players and the union would ever support this change.

what rule takes precedence? 3 batter minimum or mound visit limitation? can a manager visit a mound 99 times because he can't take out the pitcher yet?
It's just going to change how people analyze warm up sessions. It'll be interesting to see how they limit tech but i wouldn't be surprised if teams try to find a way to see if a player has his rotation/etc while warming up.mathguy86 said:

They're going to adapt and move on.
I assume they think it'll make relievers as a whole more valuable since you have to be versitale now. It'll cost a few guys their job, but as a whole good back end, but not closers will get a pay bump out of this.mathguy86 said:

I wonder if MlB would allow a team to send a lefty reliever to RF for one batter then come back to the mound, like we had done with Sipp before

I would imagine that's why the got the 26th player added. Now you can afford to carry a fringe player.
This guy loves the new rule by the way
Trout and Bregman will be consensus 1A and 1B after this year
McHugh is taking one on the McChin this afternoon. Ouch.
