Over under time...

https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/ar...win-total-odds

First impressions on some of these totals is...Under
Marlins (i dont even see them getting to 60 let alone 65)...Under Pirates...Over Mets (might be lighting money on fire tho)...but all subject to change due to the active collusion going on with the MLB owners and the free agents still not signed yet.

Someone (can't remember who for the life of me, and I could have exact #'s wrong but I'm at least close) pointed out yesterday that of the top 25 FA's per MLBTR, 14 remain unsigned, of which half are Boras clients. This might be a Boras thing, and not an MLB owners collusion thing.

2million total. Why not? Just kidding it's ******ed. Maybe to make sure he retires a Dodger? He's likely going to the HoF imo, but obv wearing a phils hat.

He doesn't feel HOF to me. Solid peak, but by the time hes done 1/3 of his career will be spent as a replacement level player.

Yeah, he is more likely to drop off the ballot the first year then to ever get in.

He isn't an overly strong advanced stats candidate, and he doesn't even have 2000 hits for the traditional counting # people.

Look at how much Jeff Kent has struggled to get traction. Is Utley that much superior to Kent to get in?

he was a better real player than he got credit for. never higher than 7th in mvp makes a hall case tough to make given a comparable like kent who actually won one isn't close

of course it's also not his fault he had a 9 war season and finished 14th while ryan howard was 1.8 war and 2nd

That's crazy that **** like that was happening in the last ten years.



5 straight years of 7+ WAR is strong.

Ryan Howard woulda won 4 MVPs if he played 10 years in Coors.

Utley out WAR'd him significantly every year and finished significantly behind in MVP voting each time. Chicks the dig the longball.

The AL central is going to be bad outside of the Indians. I don't understand how the Injuns can have the same projected W total as the cubs and yankees. Either the Indians have too few predicted or my cubbies and the yankees have too many predicted. Also, the Twins were a fluke, except for buxton.

$100? Cubs don't make it WS imo. Also, AL is a lock to win it all this year.
