Rogers Financials

[Abomination]

For anyone interested, Rogers released the 3rd quarter financials today

Unfortunately they don't break down the Jays specifically, but the media division showed 10% higher profit over the last 3 months (would have been even higher without them buying The Score).

Sooo.... Cliff Lee???

LOL. Was just picking a pitcher worth 1/5 of Cliff Lee.

He's actually worth 25.6% of Cliff Lee. You just got math'd, son.

[G-Snarls]

But value doesn't quite work like that. The comparison isn't "3.91 Hughes', or Lee and three replacement-level pitchers."

 

You'd rather have one Cliff Lee than 3.91 Phil Hughes', because with Lee you have an opportunity to fill the other four rotation spots with above-replacement options. With the Hughes', you severely limit the potential impact of your rotation unit.

 

Are we really discussing this in real terms?

 

Wow, we're tired of this season aren't we???

Of all the things I don't want to argue about, I don't want to argue about this the most.

 

This is what the season has come to. sigh.

I may even start cheering for a Red Sox sweep, since it would accelerate the Free Agency calendar by a few days

 

Ban f***ing ban right now

Cliff Lee is worth 10 to the power of 100 times more than Phil hughes man.

Well, the market has seemed to agree with you.

 

Elite players should be making more than $25M per year. They're exceedingly more valuable than their $15M a year supporting cast.

 

I would assume that a lot of teams simply can't afford to pay players what they're actually worth.

That's what's so crazy about it

 

Kevin Youkilis' 39 year old replacement level ass can get 14M cause he's a "brand name" player

 

Mike Trout makes 500k

 

Felix Hernandez is with 10 times a Youkilis

 

Trout has to wait to get paid

 

I get some of that. Some of it I don't.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Sooo.... Cliff Lee???

 

Why?

 

I'd rather sink 100M into Tanaka. Atleast near the end of the deal you could move him. That is unless he flops.

Rogers stock price over the past six months basically mimicked the Jays season.

 

Peaked in April and absolutely tanked during the summer with a mild recovery in August/September.

 

Obviously a complete coincidence but funny nonetheless.

I'm glad the Jays aren't owned by Blackberry
