Around Baseball 2014

[ElNik2013]

How does the timing for bans work on this forum? I just checked Spanky's profile and his last post was on 10:19, so if he was banned for exactly two days, does that mean he can come back in half-an-hour ish or he has to wait till reset time (12)?

 

 

He got 200 million dollars.

 

Let's count it down meat!

[Convo]

How is THIS going to look in 2-3 years???

 

2015 32 Detroit Tigers $28,000,000

2016 33 Detroit Tigers $28,000,000

2017 34 Detroit Tigers $28,000,000

2018 35 Detroit Tigers $28,000,000

2019 36 Detroit Tigers $28,000,000

2020 37 Detroit Tigers *$22,000,000 $22M Vesting Option

 

And people are complaining the Blue Jays don't give 5+ year contracts.

[ElNik2013]

Why, oh why, couldn't that happen to ME! LOL

Remember, he's a guy which = he thinks with his lower head.

[Convo]

When performance drops off like this there always seems to be the inevitable declaration of some kind of "injury"

[G-Snarls]

Illich isn't unloading trucks full of cash just to watch his team get to play in the ALDS

[Chappy]

He already got paid, now it's time to have some fun.

[G-Snarls]

He seems so competitive though...

[Chappy]

f***ing Orioles.

[Chappy]

He seems so competitive though...

 

He probably does have some kind of injury, he is too good and not old enough to decline this rapidly.

[G-Snarls]

Orioles bringing it against pathetic Tampa

[G-Snarls]

I sure hope so. Gotta be.

[Chappy]

Red Sox win.......

[ElNik2013]

I'm sure she makes him compete for it...

[Chappy]

The Rays suck so much.

[G-Snarls]

Orioles leave it tied

 

3-3 in the 8th

[ElNik2013]

Despite my joking around, I agree with this, guy is too good ...wait, you already said that. We'll see how things turn out.

[G-Snarls]

The Rays suck so much.

 

After 5 years of them being a terror, it's odd to get used to

 

But I've said for over a year it feels like they've been walking on a tightrope. They finally fell off.

I am very interested in this happening to me.

I was just about to say something like this. No matter how much some of the Jays moves frustrate me, this is the reason I still go to bat for AA every now and then. Say what you want about their policy on years when it comes to free agency and extensions, the Jays have some of the best contracts in the majors. When you look at the age of their roster and how many premium free-agent talents they have beyond arb-years, and the money they're making, it's insane. Almost every other team either has players that are significantly over paid, or players that are too young to have been over paid in the first place. The Jays do a pretty excellent job of managing their contracts. On a team where you have Edwin, Bautista, Reyes, Buehrle and Dickey, the biggest albatrosses on the roster are Romero making 7.5M and Morrow at 8M, two extensions that were actually excellent at the time they were signed. Everyone else is either worth the money they're making, or in almost every case, giving you an incredible bargain by monumentally outperforming their contracts. Despite the fact that he was traded, the Escobar extension was also to their credit.

 

If the worst thing that people can come up with when they talk about the Jays front office are the moves in the 2013 off-season, that lead to what is currently a contending team, or the fact that they didn't cave in and sign someone like Choo or Jimenez over the past winter, then the organization is in much better hands than many other teams.

It's kind of fun seeing it happen to them. I respect the organization for what they do with so little, but their lineup is pathetic. Will they even be able to fix this for next season?

We all are.

No

 

They increased payroll by 20M last off season and look at it...
