GDT(3/3): Los Angeles Dodgers @ Toronto Blue Jays - Nolasco vs. Rogers - 7:07 PM ET

[Arkadium]

Looks like it, what's your point? What abilities are being wasted at second base?

 

He's a plus defender at 3B. At best, he's an average defender at 2B. His arm and explosiveness plays way better at 3B.

[Angrioter]

AA better call Jay-Z and tell him 7/$200m

 

Pedroia 7/100M = Cano 7/120M

 

Do you want to overpay for him?

 

I'm 30, Cano is 32 or 33

[Howard Roark]

Cano's best years are already behind him. I never understood overpaying someone for what they've done in years past when you goddamn know they're not going to play anywhere near as well for you, going forward.

 

Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton say hi. Oh, and about a kadjillion others I'm too lazy to name.

[AuntieJPA]

Melky could have at least done a good throw in

Doesn't look like we have a farm, nor does it look like that AA wants to rebuild

 

If he wants to win, then f*** it, outbid the Yankees. Hopefully A-Rod's contract still stays, the luxury tax will f*** the Yankees

[Howard Roark]

The fact that this team sucks so bad but Fat Alice is hemming and hawing over trading one reliever at the deadline and missing the bigger picture is depressing.

 

Apparently we're contending in 2014? I know, doesn't make much sense to me either, but I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks.

 

The Peter Principle explains all.

[Arkadium]

It's hard not to like Lawrie when he's not being a stupid douche.

Arod contract is over......wait and see.

[IronLadle]

He's a plus defender at 3B. At best, he's an average defender at 2B. His arm and explosiveness plays way better at 3B.

 

Right now he's a better defender at 3rd than 2nd, your right, but range/quickness and arm strength are far more valuable at 2nd than 3rd.

You are getting my hopes up bro. Can you imagine the upgrade Cano would provide this team? MASSIVE

So in 3 years when we're paying a precipitously declining 34 year-old 2B $25m+ a year for another 7 years on a rebuilding club how happy are you going to be?

 

DO. NOT. WANT.

[Arkadium]

Holy s***, Reyes slid for the ball.... *proud*

[o2cui2i]

seem to be hearing "Reyes cant make the play" a lot

A never-ending platoon of Boni / DeRosa / Lawrie / Izzy at 2B sounds so much better... THX

[AuntieJPA]

Imagine Hech there and put Reyes at 2nd.

If it were up to me, I'd blow up the team now

 

But if we're f***ing ourselves anyways, might as well do it with someone good

[fatcowxlive]

Imagine Hech there and put Reyes at 2nd.

 

Imagine Escobar there and Reyes at 2nd

[Arkadium]

Hech basically provides you nothing on offense.

Actually, considering where this club is likely to be in 3 years' time, that DOES sound better. This isn't MLB 2kxx man, in 3 years Cano will be as unmoveable for this club as A-Roid is for the Bankees right now. Think please.

Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Arod is 37 now and still has 4 years left on his contract. Cano would be 37 when his hypothetical 7-year contract ends. Who's not thinking?

 

Edit: Not to mention comparing ARod to Cano is pretty stupid to begin with.

[Howard Roark]

That was literally the only answer you could have given me that would not make you look like a moronic douche in my eyes. f*** you.

 

MOAR suffering! Let's go for the gusto! We're gonna suck with no farm anyhow, let's pile some big-name overpaid, unmoveable long-term contracts on top of it! Ohhhh f*** yeah, whip my balls while you do that too! f***kkkkkkkk I'm gonna cummmmm, pour some of that hot candle wax onto my dick!!!11!!!!11

Still you. You need to try harder to save your e-peen from shrinking a few inches on this one.

[AuntieJPA]

He is hitting over .250

Nice retort, retard.

Reply to first part: Why thank you!

 

Second part: What. The. f***

[AuntieJPA]

Escobar hitting .248, Hech .253

[Arkadium]

Everything we hit gets caught... WTF

[fatcowxlive]

Ouch

[Howard Roark]

Nice retort, retard.

 

Name-calling? Good job. You sure showed me.

[Jimcanuck]

Hech basically provides you nothing on offense.

 

Hech's batting stats are roughly identical to Izturis, are trending in the right direction, and come with gold glove defense. And he's young.
