Tarik Skubal - let’s say the asking price is 400 over 10 at the end of next season. Is that a contract that a mid-market team like the Tigers can afford to take on?

They certainly cannn, yes. Chris Illitch hasn't been as open to spending as his pops was, buuuttt in some fairness to him, the team hasn't been nearly as good until just recently and they did offer up big bucks to Bregman so now that Illitch is seeing the success, hopefully the wallet stays opened up where necessary and I think Skubal is a great spot to spend. As mentioned in the previous person's question, pitching is inherently riskier than hitting so it's always a little scary to give 10 yrs to an arm, but I'm not against the team investing in Skubes at all

Health permitting, Do you see Soroka has holding onto his position as a starter for the Nats?

I do, yes. I jumped on the train in spring and then back on board once he got off the IL!

Would love to know your opinion on Jacob Wilson in an 18-team dynasty (OBP instead of AVG. sadly). I get the Arraez comps but he arguably already has more power and speed upside. At what HR/SB level do you think he becomes considered a bonafide stud?

I definitely understand the Arraez comps, but totally agree w/you that there's more here with Wilson. He's already shown a good bit more fantasy juice in HR/SB than we've seen from Arraez. Even if he's at like 15 HRs/12 SBs with a .320 AVG, he's a stonecold stud! I'm REALLY come around on Wilson since he's come to the majors. Wasn't really eyeing him as a prospect.

OK y'all, I've got a meeting at 2pm CT (whoops, 4 mins late) so I have to run! Back next week, have a good one
