I'm telling you guys, this is a half finished AI that Microsoft or Apple decided was headed for failure so they just released it to f*** with people.

Edit : also looked and Saw his contract prior to that was five year 28.5 mill which is Basically

5.7 mill per year so my offer might be low but not really that far off either it would seem !

How will he be Remembered...

Talented guy with a 2 cent Brain ( the Anti stroman)

True Talent never Reached and Damn those

Having a 2 cent brain is preferable to having a boatload of erroneous coding.

His agent should be a shoo-in

 

Lol you're acting as if he got the Chris Davis deal and it was apparent at the time.

 

In the offseason of 2010 when this deal was signed, Romero was a 26 year old workhorse starter whose two first seasons were worth 2.3 and 3.7 wins. The 5/30 that he got was considered to be a team friendly deal at the time, his knees just unfortunately derailed his career, and I don't think it's fair to praise his agent for being a genius or the acting FO to be stupid for offering the extension. It was a relatively low risk potentially high reward deal that went as bad as it could have.

 

It's basically the Bautista deal except it went in the complete opposite direction, for an obviously less talented player and half the money.

I'm not mad about the team giving him one. It didn't really f*** as that bad and seemed like a good idea at the time. I just think his agent did an excellent job for him. We're talking never have to work again, generational money. There's definitely more lucrative mistakes but those are usually done via overspending in FA. I'm sure there are better examples but I can't think of a young player signing extension like this and it working out so well for that player. Jon Singleton would be another one.

Assuming he's confident it's authentic, I could see Bautista even buying it lol.

 

it comes with all the authenticity papers - although I'm not expect as to whether those matter or not.

I remember thinking it was a steal and wished it was longer. It was not a bad contract. Nothing is guaranteed in baseball. Who knew that he would Billy Koch it, by that I mean fall off a cliff.

I have a theory that BBBB is an unfinished rogue AI.

This went to the 2018 thread in error

 

 

He has his Masters in Health, Excercise, and Sports Science. Was a good pitcher with Pacific U before his Tommy John. Decided to go into coaching rather than try and rehab it for playing. Young (just 27), should relate well to the pitchers, has had his career ended by injury and believes in alternative training methods. Great hire. Get him on the podcast

Huh? What's wrong with Keegan Matheson?

 

It's a tongue in cheek joke, man. *remember kheegan site*

 

I'm sorry, I still find him as a caricature to this forum.
