Meaning he'd be 11th, I think he'll be very good. 

Ah, I thought you meant you ranked Bregman lowest in Frobby's list of 20.

If I am picking players that I can keep for a full ten years with finances not being considered, I would be picking the younger players on the list as a general rule. And I would avoid players whom I think may not age well/are already rather mature/are biding their time until they inevitably become Designated Hitters. Thus, I would take Bregman before Martinez, Arenado, Harper, Judge, Stanton, Altuve, Yelich and Chapman. At least in this hypothetical exercise I would. ?

Cruz = Mountcastle.

Who would you rather have at 1B/DH?

What's that got to do with me wanting to do what the current regime is too chicken$#*! to do?  

I'm going with Cruz while I stick my tongue out at you.

As for the rest of the ten I'd like to have:

Acuna

Trout

Betts

Lindor

Harper

Bregman

Vlad Jr

Correa

Chapman

You said they wouldn't know what to do with the draftpick.  I replied that the draft pick they got for Cruz was used to select Mountcastle.  I then asked if you would rather have Davis or Mountcastle, I player that was taken with an equivalent pick to the one they didn't get for Davis.

Sorry, CoC, you're just too hard to keep up with.

    • At this stage, I don't care how we get in - just get in. As been said on here a zillion times, the playoffs are a crap shoot. As bad as it seems right now - WHY NOT?
    • Oh, I forgot Mountcastle.  He had a 2.2 bWAR season going (1.4 oWAR). And he's effectively been replaced with O'Hearn who is a 1.3 bWAR player (which has been dropping) of which he has a -1.4 dWAR and a 1.8 oWAR. So there's a net negative there, too, going from O'Hearn part time to him FT and losing Mounty's bat. Injuries are a part of any given team, but I don't think it's unfair to say this team would be at 88-89 wins with even half of those guys back. 
    • While agree that taking this year's Santander out of the offense would hurt. This is the only year that he has performed at this level. He's OPS is 37 points higher this year, than his avg. His OBP stinks and he goes cold for fairly long periods. He's had a couple of heaters that have padded his OPS. His career OPS+ is 114 and that is buoyed by this years 132. I am not saying he sucks or is even at a replacement level player. But he is a pretty flawed player who is not likely to repeat this year which has been pretty flawed as well. I like Santander and I think he provides valuable leadership. I just don't see him having the value that it will take to keep him. I also don't think he is the type of player that ages well. 
    • You really should have to finish in first place to make the playoffs. If the divisions were large from back in the day then I could understand having 2nd place teams make it. It was such an accomplishment back then. We can all agree 3rd place teams making it is a joke. 
    • Agree 100%. I had a different thread chatting about The New Guys.  If we look at just the guys that are getting playing time because of injuries/trades/opportunities that are still playing on this team: Austin Slater: 0.4 (0.2 oWAR, 0.1 dWAR) Livan Soto: 0.3 (0.2, 0.1) Emmanuel Rivera: 0.1 (0.4, -0.3) Eloy Jimenez: -0.2 (-0.2, -0.2) Jackson Holliday: -0.3 (-0.1, 0) Coby Mayo: -0.7 (-0.5, -0.2) If we just go off of their oWAR, that's a combined 0.  Zero. Ramon Urias had a 1.6 oWAR this year. Jordan Westburg a 3.4 oWAR. Even Jorge Mateo had a 0.8 oWAR. Those 3 guys would be getting regular to semi-regular playing time. Eloy/Holliday/Mayo wouldn't play and their near -1.0 oWAR would be replaced with guys that had a combined 6 oWAR anywhere from months (Westy, Mateo) to weeks ago (Ramon).
    • You would think it would be closer to 74 with the way they are playing 
    • Elias said it the other day
