Votto has no shot at HOF

 

Will likely finish this season at 42 career fWAR. Only 32 years old, career .311/.423/.536, good for a 157 wRC+. Highly regarded as having one of the best eyes in the MLB for quite some time now, and has been recognized as the league MVP once. He has a good shot at the HOF, his hitting profile is a positive one as he ages and inevitably starts declining.

I really hope the Reds trade him. He's putting up such good offensive numbers and its a complete waste for a s***** Cincinnati team that looks to continue to be bad for a while.

Boston Red Sox continue to play decent baseball. They have moved out of last place past Tampa Bay by beating them 8-7 tonight - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2015_09_21_tbamlb_bosmlb_1#game=2015_09_21_tbamlb_bosmlb_1,game_state=Wrapup,game_tab=box

 

Luckily the Yankees have to play the Red Sox for 4 games starting next Monday and hopefully the Red Sox will help the Blue Jays clinch the AL East by beating the Yankees in 2 or 3 of the 4 games.

 

Red Sox are going to be very good again, soon

 

They have several top end young cheap position players and plenty of money to buy some high end SP

 

Only Hanley R is a dog, though I suppose Ortiz must be almost ready to retire

Wow, Bryce Harper is so close to finishing the year with a wRC+ over 200. Only one other player in the last century has accomplished that at age 22 or younger...Ted Williams.

 

And no one has done it since Barry Bonds

 

Yes, that's pretty good company :)

He's getting paid 25M a year for his ages 34-39 seasons. Not many teams are going to want to take that on.

probably exclusions

 

Nope, just picked up a new Majestic Blue Jays hoodie and got the 25% discount. As long as the item is regular priced, you're good! Jerseys, New ERA caps, t-shirts are all 25% off. So for those buying stuff down at the Rogers Centre, check out Sport Chek first. Limited selection for player jerseys (location I was at only had Tulo, Martin and their were a few of Price) and sizes were very limited for hoodies, jerseys, caps etc. Though if you purchase a different size/player jersey, you have 60 days to exchange it for the size/player jersey you want. I wanted to pick up a Josh Donaldson or Marcus Stroman jersey, though they had none - might head back tomorrow or check the one downtown at Maple Leaf Square tonight.

Poor Astros

 

They are a dangerous team. bombers. Colby has become so bad in the OF. A 2013 5.5 fWAR player. Kind of hard to believe.

Rangers/Astros series is going to be huge...

 

Hamels vs. Kazmir

Holland vs. McHugh

Perez vs. Keuchel

 

Rangers sweep sends Texas to Toronto, New York (more likely Toronto), or Kansas City for the ALDS.
