With Meyers to LF this leaves Margot in CF and Renfroe in RF with Pirela, Cordero, Jankowski and Szczur competing for back-up roles. So Pirela looks like the biggest hit on PT. Even if they move him to play 2B Spangenberg and Asuaje are also competing for PT. The Padres line-up is starting to look half-way decent.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostTurns out that Boras knew what he was doing...again. Instead of the 7/140 floated for months, he actually got 8/144. A little less in AAV, but an extra year for a slightly above middling 1st baseman. Not a franchise killer for the Pads, but not a winner by any means either, IMO.

That's why Darvish took the Cubs deal...they offered the extra year(s), at pretty much the same money. Don't know if the Cubs were Yu's 1st choice, but the contract made it virtually impossible to turn down."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Myers definitely improved in fantasy when he moved to SD, although that may have just been a natural progression.

Originally posted by madducks View PostI seem to recall reading something about how changes to neighboring buildings changed the way the ball carried at Petco Park in recent years.

The numbers try to edit that out, but it is not always effective.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
