shit i'll do it. fair warning - i was WAY wrong about trevor bauer not being a completely terrible person. though i only thought maybe he was douchey and maladjusted in a more normal fashion, and i was willing to be somewhat contrarian on the matter. i'd like to think i would've picked up on a few red flags if i had been paying closer attention. but then, the dodgers signed him, and they're not quite a fuckup organization.

ooh, did not know that about gausman. go get him! fangraphs fwiw has rated the top 50 free agents and has pitchers in the following spots: 4. scherzer 7. Ray (QO) 8. Stroman [CROSSOUT]13. rosario (QO)[/CROSSOUT] 14. gausman [CROSSOUT]15. Syndergaard (QO)[/CROSSOUT] 17. Rodon 18. kershaw 19. verlander (QO) 31. matz 32. gray 35. Kim 36. DeSclafani 37. kluber 38. cobb 40. grienke 47. pineda 50. kikuchi

it might go totally against "get someone healthy" but would you consider kershaw? he doesn't have the QO attachment that gausman has. i also just read that we would lose the 14th pick which, well, is a significant factor.

well... i think i might have a new angels fan in the household. damnit. i was really hoping we'd be able to keep him. sentimentally, of course.

i think we could do worse than gausman. granted, gausman can do worse than gausman. but it feels like he's maybe finally putting it all together. i wouldn't go super-crazy on him, but i would definitely like to bring him in. or, y'know, scherzer would be fine too. but yeah, we gotta make sure to get stroman back at a minimum. I'm very cautious about expecting anything out of degrom right now. i'd need to be convinced otherwise, and think the mets should build their rotation as if he's not there. and if he's healthy and available and degrominant, then we just move peterson/megill to the lower levels of the depth chart.

i'm not feeling particularly confident about any of these. except conforto to the phillies. because of course that's where he'll end up. and the mets will probably get nobody i would want and/or expect them to. 1. Carlos Correa tigers 2. Cory Seager yankees 3. Freddie Freeman braves 4. Max Scherzer padres 5. Marcus Semien blue jays 6. Robbie Ray angels 7. Trevor Story rangers 8. Kevin Gausman boston 9. Javier Baez mets 10. Starling Marte astros 11. Kris Bryant mets 12. Chris Taylor astros 13. Marcus Stroman blue jays 14. Clayton Kershaw dodgers 15. Nelson Cruz twins 16. Nick Castellanos giants 17. Brandon Belt yankees 18. Kyle Schwarber giants 19. Justin Verlander angels 20. Kyle Seager mariners 21. Carlos Rodon giants 22. Anthony DiScalfini yankees 23. Raisel Iglesias phillies 24. Michal Conforto phillies 25. Zack Greinke giants 26. Eduardo Rodrigues tigers <-- i'm cheating. i just got a notification that he signed with detroit 27. Anthony Rizzo boston 28. Aaron Loup dodgers 29. Kenley Jansen yankees 30. Noah Syndergaard mets

regular guess: matt harvey, who seems like the kind of guy to turn down a first round invite that wasn't quite good enough.

this is perhaps the guy i'd most want to add this off season.
