They better front load the shit out of that contract. When he gets age 36+ Angels fan is gonna be hating it.

Can anyone recomend a good place to get started in fantasy baseball? I have not done it in 20 years and would like to get back into it.
Espn and yahoo the best places to join a league?


PS so happy Trout signed so we dont have to deal with the harper/manny drama from this year.

ESPN did a complete overhaul of their fantasy website.

It is a bit cumbersome compared to the old one. However, there are some improvements that I do like.

The app on your phone is very easy to use as well.

One hand I am happy that he is locked up, on the other hand I feel like there is gonna be an avalanche of "fuck you pay me" demands coming from Springer (FA 2021), Correa (FA 2022), Cole (FA 2020), and McCullers (FA 2022).

The Astros can't pay all of them, but they can probably pay two of that four. Verlander, Reddick, Brantley, and Gurriel are all roughly coming off the payroll the same time to around the tune of $56+m per year. Maybe they can keep three of that four... but I doubt it.

I'm sure Beckham is gonna wear one in the next series.

Mariners with the best record in MLB right now. 162 - 0 confirmed.

at the end it will be, but the first half or so will make it worth it overall.

Maybe. People thought the same for Joey Votto years ago and he's still absolutely worth every penny. And he's 35 now.

I mean they'll get that 430 million worth in like 5 seasons, plus what's having him do for the value of the team if they wanted to sell it?

I meant maybe it will be an albatross. I'm in agreement with you. Entirely possible Trout goes down as the greatest baseball player ever.

So much for front end loading that contract.

Idiots.
