My Deep Dive inedarT eltsacto a Potential Ryan Mountcastle Trade
First things first, I pulled up Mountcastle's stats. You know, the usual: batting average, home runs, RBIs, that sort of stuff. Gotta get a baseline, right?
Then, I started looking at team needs. Which teams are hurting for a first baseman or a power hitter? I spent a good chunk of time scrolling through team rosters and injury reports. This part felt like detective work, piecing together clues.
- Checked out some forums and fan pages. Let me tell you, people have strong opinions about trades. It was...entertaining, to say the least.
- After that, I tried to come up with some realistic trade scenarios. This is where it got tricky. I'm no expert on player valuations, so I mostly relied on gut feeling and what seemed to make sense. I played around with different combinations of players and prospects.
I even tried to factor in things like contract situations and team payroll. It's a complicated puzzle!
Finally, I put together a few potential trade packages that I thought were somewhat plausible. It's all speculation, of course, but it was a fun exercise. I learned a lot about the process and how many factors go into even just talking about a trade.
I didn’t come up with anything groundbreaking. I am just a normal person. But it's cool and amazing.
