Around Baseball 2014

[TwistedLogic]

Usually I hear about this, any idea who's there?

 

The video Hoffman posted made me think he was there, but it could have really been anywhere.

Hoffman has been there for over a month already.

 

Many of the prospects in the system have been there for weeks. There was a photo of those at the strength camp that I'm sure King thoroughly enjoyed.

 

 

Back row left to right: Some coach probably, don't know, another coach maybe, not sure, Ryan Borucki, Chase De Jong, Jeff Hoffman, Dwight Smith Jr., Danny Jansen, Maxwell Pentecost, don't know, Chad Jenkin's brother, some coach.

 

Front row: don't know, Roberto Osuna, don't know, Richard Urena, some coach, JD Davis I think (not DJ, JD)

That looks like 100% pure beer.

f***, when that was first posted, I thought that was snow, not sand. I thought they were toughening up to play in Canada!

Jerry Howarth is pretty dumb isn't he.

New, and potentially better than WOWY, catcher framing measure released on BP.

 

It uses mixed effects models to dampen the noise between different pitchers and umpires, which results in less extreme values like what were seen with WOWY.

 

Edit: Guess who comes in at 3rd best since 1988?

[Boxcar]

Whoa, Brad Ausmus was a beast.

 

Mike Piazza was a good defensive catcher all this time? Pretty impressive.

Put him in the HOF!

I wonder where Jimenez ranked in the minors. Red Sox looked to have turned Swihart into a great framer when it was questioned if he could stick behind the plate.

#Tigers announce Victor Martinez tore his medial meniscus in left knee during workouts last week. Scheduled for surgery with Dr. Andrews

 

lol

 

 

Navarro to the Tigers?

Navarro to the Tigers?

 

They have a few tasty relievers I wouldn't mind us getting our hands on

 

Alburquerque and Rondon in particular, but Krol could be somewhat interesting as well.

[StroShow]

Recovery time is like a month, month and a half.

Don't bet on it.

Last time they had to replace V-Mart, they acquired Fielder.

OMG, Tiger fans must feel snakebitten. Their two boppers are never healthy at the same time it seems.

 

But man, yeah, wouldn't they have slight interest at least in Navarro now? I'm not kidding.

 

Wouldn't this mean the end to V-Mart's season?

Oh that's it? It sounded more serious than that.

I really like Rondon. Romero + Navarro for Rondon

For a normal dude? - Yes

For an 60 years old dude? - No

[Stangstag]

^The Blue Jays uniform is not purple, otherwise good job

 

Haha thats the ACTUAL cover, not a photoshop.

[StroShow]

Yeah it's a pretty common knee injury, kinda like removing bone spurs from the elbow. I was walking ~2 weeks after surgery but the rehab lasted around 3 weeks to get the strength back.

That's true. I'm actually surprised he still has cartilage in his knees.

I've pitched a long time and had bone spurs removed from my elbow. You're right, it was a fast recovery. I've had three meniscus tear surgeries, too. Fast recoveries. But man, ligaments are a different ball of wax. The rehab, I thought, would take 2-3 months. But I've luckily not experiences one of those s***** deals.

Friend of a friend went to Cancun for his anniversary. They knew he was a Jays fan and brought this for him.

JA Happ kind of deal

Err... I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there's a possibility that you may be a bit colorblind.

Probably just the monitor settings.

[jaysfan2014]

JA Happ kind of deal

 

Watch him get traded along with other prospects for an ace or expensive pitcher at the deadline, especially when/if Farrell and Cherington are fired at mid-season if the team struggles, and ownership orders big moves to get the team back to the playoffs.. they won't be patient again if the team struggles, especially with $190M+ being spent..

 

Look, if these big moves fail to get the team back to contention, Farrell and Cherington will not last the season. Two 90 loss seasons (with a fluky World Series win in between) are not good for ticket sales on a big market team like Boston.

How about Austin Hedges adding almost 4 wins just on his framing?
