Around Baseball 2023

[BigCecil]

Minters pretty solid but Bummer can knockout some hitters im thinking. Gives me Andrew Miller vibes...

 

Bummer kind of like Ray before he got fixed. Wicked stuff - high K and BB rates. Who knows if they can "fix" him.

 

Shame about Soroka. Works out with my son at Webber Baseball Academy in Calgary a lot this time of year. Super nice guy. He just never has recovered from Achilles yet with 2 set backs, and the body over compensated giving him some arm issues.

 

6.56 FIP in 2023. Braves gave up on him and with him being a FA in '25 they got what they could I guess.

Way to quick man.

Wait, so it's too quick to give up on Soroka, but you want the Jays to trade Manoah this offseason? I'm confused dawg!

[jaysblue]

I'll take the win here

 

Have a nice weekend

 

You do hold a grudge against AA and his FO when he was here with the Jays. I wonder why...

 

Have a nice weekend as well! Hope you're enjoying your victory lap!

[jaysblue]

Can’t wait to see where anyone said there was a huge list!

 

All I stated was that every team in baseball at some point runs assets into the ground and never trade them at the opportune time. AA has for sure, and never denied that. To say he's the only GM who runs assets into the ground, give me a break. Like I said if he does it "spectacularly and at volume" like Laika said, give me a list of those instances when he was with the Braves.

 

You actually were becoming one of my favourite posters on this board who actually is rational in comparison to some of the shills on here. Don't know what I said that was so controversial but alright! Cheers!

[Carlos Danger]

Watch the Brewers swoop in and land Soto. Makes a lot of sense..

Pal I don’t really care who likes me or not lol. You continually look to pick arguments with anyone who is willing to engage

 

Nobody said AA was the only GM who “runs assets into the ground” literally nobody. The reason your arguments fall apart is because you put words in other people’s mouth in order to form your point

[connorp]

It needs to be stated again, everyone has their own idea what a good GM is. To the nerds, you need to sell high on any over performing asset to come out ahead on future WAR/$.

Some teams, especially big market and super successful teams, may not be as concerned with this.

They’re winning now (and not just Bluejay “winning”), and maybe less willing to trade for a future who won’t help now and may never help later.

Every team gets a boatload of picks every year to try to restock their farm.

Apparently, you didn’t. Idk. I don’t know what this world has come to. I read an article how the “cash me outside” girl is worth like $100m

[Spanky__99]

Are you okay?

Are you ok, nut licker. Which one of the Darrell’s are you blowing today?

If I had $60k, I’d pay for 1 year of school with it. If I didn’t have to pay for school, I’d probably treat myself to $100k+ BMW 8 series. One thing I wouldnt do, is spend it on porn. All free porn for me.

I have a hard time envisioning a school that costs $60k per year admitting you in the first place. This would likely be more up your alley:

Are you okay?

 

If it was too early to trade Soroka, same applies to Manoah this offseason then according to you.

[Frenchsoup]

Manoah has a lot of value, good time to move him

[max silver]

What are you on about this time? Manoah had a single bad season in his professional career and is a single season removed from receiving Cy Young award votes. Soroka has pitched 45 innings COMBINED in the last 4 seasons. If Manoah shits the bed for another 3 full seasons then he'll be a great comparable, for now it's nowhere remotely close to the same situation.

Not looking to pick arguments with anyone and I don't put words in other people's mouth. All I pointed out was Atlanta's reasoning behind those moves. You then got all triggered when I said it wouldn't have been a bad idea for the Braves to keep Nicky Lopez if they could have as a backup middle infielder. You were the one who actually picked an argument.

Spanky just said it was too early to trade Soroka after not being healthy since 2019.

 

I used Manoah as an example if he s*** the bed in 2024, and if Atkins traded him for pennies after or non-tendered him that would be asset mismanagement according to Spanky and Laika. I have no problem with the Jays giving Manoah another chance in 2024. No different than the Braves hoping Soroka could stay healthy and rebound after his surgeries. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Though Spanky said he was in favour to trade Manoah now before that happens.

I won’t say what I got on my SAT as you wouldn’t believe it, but yeah, I had bad grades and had to start out in community college, than an easy state school for the rest. I never brought a book home from 6-12 grades. Always scraped by in hs and college on exam scores and papers. Took a lot of 0s for assignments I never did.

 

The school is for my kid though d-bag

All jokes aside is that what it costs to send a kid to university in the US nowadays? That's a crazy sum of money for a single year.

 

On a semi related note my brother in-law sends both his kids to a pricey private school which costs over $20k a year per kid for grade school. That's a lot of dough by the time the kids are both finished school.

$50-$60k is pretty common for private schools actually. That’s not the expensive tier.
