Arenado's OPS is 200 points higher at home. That's pretty damn significant and is right there with Charlie Blackmon. While you can't ignore their home stats, you can definitely consider them inflated.

And that's what OPS+ and wRC+ are for. Is Arenado a top-3 player right now? I don't think so. Is he in the top 10? Yeah, probably.
Just dropping in to check on the Rockies offseason thread, everything going okay in here?
MLB Tonight on MLB Network is doing an Astros spring training feature tonight. I guess they do a different team each day or something.

TED & Daddy will help carry this team for years and years to come. We need more nicknames in baseball.
You gotta be careful though, Farmer. We can't be anointing young prospects with nicknames they haven't earned yet, even if the guys in the clubhouse are the ones to do it in order to have a little fun.Farmer1906 said:

We earn our nicknames around here.
I love all the little off-the-wall things baseball teams do. Feel like you would never see an NFL or NBA team do this during their preseason training.
That's why our motto in 2017 was #earnit. It wasn't about championships. It was about nicknames.Beat40 said:You gotta be careful though, Farmer.

How is this dude so weird?
****in insane
Pujols part 2
He'll only be 36 at the end of the deal. Bad but not Albert bad.

I don't get it.
Not only is he not worth that much anywhere but the padres were 66-96 last year. They ain't competing anytime soon. Machado doesn't change that.
Seems like it's spending to spend and going for the big splash.

You're just upset that doesn't work for you.
It doesn't seem like a 10 year/$300 million deal for Machado lines up very well with the MLBPA carefully constructed narrative over the last few months. It's a great deal for him and he probably could have signed it in December. The last few months have just been smoke and mirrors posturing for the upcoming CBA fight.
I honestly cannot figure out how Machado landed a contract like that. He's not a top 10 player in baseball

Padres have the number one farm system in baseball.

I know. But all that talent is still down on the farm.
Meaning it's not like they're rebuilding and he's the last piece of the puzzle to make them a contender. I still think they're a ways off.
Still seems a bit early for them to be spending that kind of money on a FA. Especially one who's not worth it.

He can play SS
He's a good hitter (top 15-20)
He hit the market at 26
That is why it makes so much sense to do what we did with Altuve. He's locked up through his prime. We help him out by basically letting him out of his under market deal. We still get him cheaper than what he's get on the open market (26M vs 30M per).
It comes with an opt out after 5 years. I'm assuming he's thinking it's more lucrative for him then?
