Marcell Ozuna to STL

[onejayhawk]

And yet they have more WS wins in the last 100 years than the Cubs!

True. They reloaded successfully once. They only 2003 starter from the 1998 team was Luis Castillo. Turnover in pitching was total.

Wasn't there a movie about an owner wanting to lose so they could move the team?

There was. They won the pennant.

It's hard to pay $29 for .280-35-115

For what it's worth, if you add in his 93 runs from last year those numbers were worth ~$32 last year in a 12 team NL only. Taking his avg down from .280 to .260 only reduces that a couple bucks.


So it should not be hard to pay $29 if you truly expect that kind of production.

With any inflation at all, I think $29 for Ozuna is a definite keeper.

10 or 12 teams? Inflation? 5x5? Probably a little worse lineup than the one he was in last year. Last year was probably a career year. He doesn't run. He hit between .259 and .266 for 4 straight seasons before last year. It's hard to pay $29 for .280-35-115 and that seems maybe generous with the AVG? I do love the power though.

Yeah, I definitely should have added the league parameters...sorry. 12 team, 5x5 with pretty steep inflation. For example, Goldschmidt went for 61 last year.

Thanks for the numbers Ken, much appreciated.
