  1. If Rizzo is stupid enough to write it in as "salary difference" Jays should pay him $16M and have him donate half to Jays Care
  2. not counting those that were ignored when they attempted to tell about it in the 60's and 70's.
  3. Revere has 2 years left he was a Super 2.
  4. Revere was a 2 WAR OF. That does not mean he will be this year. All his value is in his legs and he's less versatile than Pompey. It's removed the one area of depth on the team...but it filled a hole and by projections improved the team short term. If Saunders can just get a blade put on after his amputation, the depth is back.
  5. I'd also like to point out that I feel vindicated in calling Rizzo a complete idiot all these years. Although I guess I can't call him National League Anthopoulos any more.
  6. Storen closing...Saves like $3M over Osuna's 4 arbitration years.
  7. That's Blair saying "oh f*** there is Jays news...I need to come up with something quick"
  8. AL East back end of pens Balt - Britton, O'Day, Brach (or Matusz) Bos - Kimbrel, Uehara, Smith NYY - Chapman, Miller, Betances TBR - Boxberger, McGee, Farquhar Tor - Storen, Osuna, Cecil.
  9. One of the fun stats from that trade the "throw-in" vs. Longoria after the deal Throw 14 HR, 46 runs, 47 RBI, 1 SB .314/.356/.526 Longo 17 HR, 51 runs, 55 RBI, 3 SB .269/.317/.439
  10. Halladay and Clemens are basically the same person.
  11. I think it means that TJS gives Abom Aboner. Even though Cook's issues are forearm issues.
  12. Bautista can stir the pot and Rodney shoot it with his imaginary arrow. It would be so fun
  13. 3rd year at best. He's got Mariano on his first ballot and Jeter on his second.
  14. yeah I was the dumb one. I hated Napoli, called him platoon guy on the wrong side of the split.
  15. Nope, I just don't like the man.
  16. I think in baseball they know that staying GM in Toronto with Shapiro coming in, staying would have been viewed as a demotion. So this becomes a transition thing. I'm sure I could come up with some names if I thought about it. But Doug Melvin comes to mind. He was GM of Texas, spent a year in Boston doing scouting and then got the GM job in Milwaukee. I think AA got out before being exposed as a fraud...but I'm not the best judge of him. Having former Jays employees in Tampa, I'm sure Friedman was given fair warning that AA is not the guy he's portrayed in the media to be, but Friedman refused to believe that then, lets see what happens once he has to work directly with him. As for his pay, I'm guessing it was pretty good. I read somewhere that an $11 an hour intern with the Jays was offered $110K to work for the Dodgers so they might throw money around the front office pretty well.
  17. He's also one of 5 former GM's in the org though. Although, I think it's a great move...he'll never get any blame. He's only getting fired if he has a major personality conflict and he sits building up his reputation as a GM that never got fired and brought a team to the playoffs. Of course it's also going to be a job title that doesn't stop him from interviewing for any job.
  18. I job shadowed Mugford at IMG and he's just a very likable, and way too smart of a guy. We talked about how crazy it was that only 7 MLB clubs had mental conditioning teams. As for Herp's comments Mental conditioning is very different than Psychiatry. Much of it is about focus exercises and stuff like that. We got to do one of IMG's dot tests (where you stare at this board from like 12 inches away and have to touch the dot that lights up). It's such a simple test but the results improvements are insane after even 5 minutes of mental exercises. Matt Martin the Wake Forest catcher still has the record for the best time on this test...followed by Kei Nishikori.
  19. I think NJH and I have Dexter Fowler and Mike Fiers under our belt and Carlos Santana, Glasnow for Urias.
  20. i think I've publicly stated this before...I haven't even watched a hockey game since I gave you Tyler Johnson for nothing.
  21. I genuinely missed the reference you intended there because I fell after a night of drinking with Nox and cut the s*** out of my hand (although it was actually my left hand but that didn't work in my masturbation joke).
  22. stupid drunken night. Had to masturbate left handed for 3 whole nights.
  23. I'll take the Juan Francisco 70 power comp for Devers. What would Juan Francisco who doesn't strike out and pull the ball every time look like? http://media.cleveland.com/plutoblog_impact/photo/ramirez-pluto-june3jpg-c2941a33035e003e.jpg
  24. and he got rocked. can't handle the older boys. You guys do know that he was moved up to Greenville because they were the only affiliate still playing on September 5th. There is a small chance he's still in SS ball next year.
