    This deal would be getting crushed if any other team but the Rays extended it. It doesn't make much sense. Loney doesn't walk, has no power and his defense is good but overrated. And there's no upside other than the always-present possibility of a fluky BABIP.

    C'mon, you were a punchline throughout the first half! I would give you "Most Improve Fantasy Player" as well if that makes you feel better, you definitely did improve significantly by the end of the year.

    Nobody picked this in the FAP Contest.

    Not $25M a year though! Hamels is $22.5M per and his deal ends with his age 34 season (2018, with club option for 2019 at $20M). It's well under market value and worth paying real assets for.

    I LOVE THIS. So smart and edgy. Knuckleballers fail because there aren't any resources available to them. Nobody knows how to teach it, nobody can catch it, nobody can scout it, and teams generally find it embarrassing. Well, the Blue Jays are going to change that and it could pay massive dividends (if they keep it up and sign a few more guys). And at almost no cost.

    I love it! Exactly what we should be doing.

    Seven players have played for the Blue Jays, Nationals and Expos: Shawn Hill, Tomo Ohka, Jon Rauch, Matt Stairs, Brad Wilkerson, and the Batistas.
  10. NorthOf49
    If you're talking about franchises, then Matt Stairs counts in the other direction (once Blue Jays, twice Expos/Nats).

    Shawn Hill too: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hillsh01.shtml (2011 was spent in Marlins org.)

    I even beat MLBTR to the punch

    I see that stuff as different. Equipment and the warning track may be new changes, but they don't change the aesthetic of the game. This will. Very rarely does a collision at the plate lead to anything. This rule will remove a very real number of exciting plays from a season. If a team is really scared of their catcher getting hurt, they should teach him the swipe tag.
  14. NorthOf49
    The play at the plate is the most exciting play in baseball. You can't get rid of it because a catcher gets hurt every few seasons. If you want to do something, start calling obstruction properly. Adding additional rules to the game is wrong.

    Not even, they're semi-pro. Indy Leagues actually have some legit talent. This is like the Alaska League, but for more than just college kids.

    lol that profile even lists his blood type! The guy behind him's best career achievement: "Fall high school baseball tournament, Aichi Best 4"
  17. NorthOf49
    It's a slippery slope...
  18. NorthOf49
    Yes the offseason is complete
  19. NorthOf49
    I like it! Now that the whole org has learned about knuckleballs, may as well invest more in it (at little cost).

    Sierra is 25 and 2014 will be his ninth professional season. If his power hasn't played yet in games it likely never will. Maybe he could be a cheap short-term platoon partner for Lind, but that's really it.
  22. NorthOf49
    A Major Transaction would receive its own MLBTR post. Ban.
  23. NorthOf49
    LOL. So true.
  24. NorthOf49
    Keep doing so! They're hilarious.
  25. NorthOf49
    AA said the deal has a "three-way component". Maybe he's taken note of my nine-team proposal and this deal actually has three such components?
