Prolly gonna just post everything Sheryl Ring writes in this thread, but this is really interesting:

Gonna state the obvious here - the breakeven point on a contract like Meija's being only $3.6M is absolutely absurd. Even if he is just okay and doesn't become nearly the stud catcher we all expect him to, he's still going to hang around the big leagues long enough to earn that type of cash.

How to determine if you have da gawd bullpen:

1) Look for Josh Hader on your roster
2) If you have Josh Hader, da gawd bullpen confirmed. If not, cry a lot.

This the same bullpen that has blown 4 leads in the past 5 chances?

Seriously the whole Aaron Judge will never ever repeat what he did in his rookie year take was the bad take...

Get real, he put up 8 WAR in his rookie season despite having a stretch of TWO MONTHS where he could barely swing a bat due to injury and hit about .100.  The rest of the year he was basically Barry Bonds.

A guy who plays like Barry Bonds 2/3rds of the year his first year is never going to hit .284 again because his strikeout rate is elevated?  That's ridiculous.

The thing with Judge is he has always had elite, generational physical abilities.  That was ALWAYS true.  He's always had the biggest frame, most power, fastest bat, and strongest arm in baseball.  He's always been crazy athletic.  He can hit a 500 foot homer, steal a base, rob a home run, and walk 3 times in a game.  How many guys can do this ****?  He's a freak.

The surprising thing isn't that he's turning into a superstar its that he wasnt a bigger prospect to begin with.  It just shows you what generational physical ability + hard work / humility + good coaching can turn into.
