Karns really struggled pitching in the Trop, but is there even a HR difference between the two parks now?

Lance Berkman, after fighting against Transgender's to be able to use the Ladies room in Houston, now says

zero chance Dragmire is getting picked so even if you believe in him, why burn his first option? Guerrero if everything goes right is a utility guy. If you lose him, you lose him (I don't see them losing him). Robson is 22, has pitched 130 innings in 4 years and they haven't been really good. Again no one is taking him, and no loss if they do. So that leaves Dwight Smith. Gives the team flexibility to add AAA depth. Maybe make a Rule 5 claim ourselves.

Slap hitting guy that probably can't handle CF on a regular basis. Best case scenarios is that he's Ben Revere without the wheels (Boog isn't slow but he's not Revere fast)

3 years ago it was "where are the going to play all these middles"

The Rays will at least be smart enough to never play Miller in CF. He's probably an average defensive SS at best. He's also one of those big fly ball distance guys...who are expected to have an increase in HR's. He was a 122 wRC+ in his games at Safeco. And with Beckham there he doesn't have to face lefties. Speaking of not facing LHP...Lomo should not have 140 PA's against LHP. And with Guyer there he won't. A healthy Karns does well in Seattle.

I'm really not sure how mobile Boog Powell is anymore

Welcome back TL! Pockets might be worse than "cock is"

It could mean that he's offering you Appel for Wade Davis, or it could be that if you answer you like Mark Appel he feels that you are dumn and he could get Wade Davis for f*** all. For the record, I am dumn as I like Mark Appel still.

I can't move my players right now. They are tied up in deals in my head which I haven't communicated to the other side of the deal yet.

Last year's Comp pick teams. Rockies, Braves, Jays, Yankees, Pirates, Royals, Tigers, Dodgers and O's. – The Rockies let OF Michael Cuddyer’s leave in Free Agency — signed with the Mets – The Braves let SP Ervin Santana leave in Free Agency — signed with the Twins and has since been suspended 80 games for PED use – The Blue Jays let OF Melky Cabrera leave in Free Agency — signed with the White Sox – The Yankees let RP David Robertson leave in Free Agency — signed with the White Sox – The Pirates let C Russell Martin leave in Free Agency — signed with the Blue Jays – The Royals let James Shields leave in Free Agency — signed with the Padres – The Tigers let Max Scherzer leave in Free Agency — signed with the Nationals – The Dodgers let Hanley Ramirez leave in Free Agency — signed with the Red Sox – The Orioles let Nelson Cruz leave in Free Agency — signed with the Mariners

Oh yeah it's gettin' kinda heavy. Radical mind day and night all the time Seven, fourteen, wise, divine Maniac, brainiac, winning the game I'm the lyrical Jesse James

Zing costs an additional $30

but the Marlins...won't somebody please think of the Marlins.

I think it's safe to take a 180 on this thread now... I'll take OOGA CHUKA over the following: Cause you were Romeo / I was a scarlet letter / And my daddy said stay away from Juliet. Taylor Swift (I know she's a princess to some around here...don't hate me those are bad) I’mma make you my bitch / Cake, cake, cake, cake / Cake, cake, cake, cake / Cake, cake, cake, cake / Cake, cake, cake. This doesn't even take into account that she spells it Birtday Cake I love you Dre, but... “I kick plenty of ass, so call me an astronaut.” “Shorty just text me, says she want to sex me / LOL smiley face / LOL smiley face” And this is why Clay Aiken doesn't have a career anymore "If I was invisible, I would be the smartest man." It shames me less and less each passing day that I went to a Spice World Matinee on opening day but I still can't get past "I really really really wanna zig a zig aaaaaaah" Thong song "She had dumps like a truck truck truck" Does butt size affect the size of the dump? Nikki Minaj should be shot and killed "She on a diet, but her cock is eating cheesecake" not for those lyrics but just in general she should be shot and killed. Oh Snap "I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

had to bump...was feeling uneasy about the DDL thread being down with the federal election thread.

Got to say I've never heard anyone who left the Marlins say anything bad at all about Loria. It might be much more of a media/fan thing. Beinfest stayed with him for like 14 years (counting the 2 in Montreal), Hill has to be 13 now. Like I said before...the Marlins are a great job for a GM. If the teams suck, ownership gets blamed. If you succeed, it's because you are a brilliant GM, despite your bad ownership. It's much like another market, that i just can't think of right now.

it's safe to say that I don't think he's a good person, and am sure he's not a "solid person", there is loads of squishiness in his person.

Texture...get it right.

I could read I suppose.

The value to Rogers with the Jays is in cross Rogers promotion rather than owning SN (which they will still own). Selling the team (if the valuation continues to rise and there is a buyer) at a time when TSN isn't in position to bid huge on the TV rights, they could still keep the broadcast rights long term at the right price to make it worthwhile. Too much probably has to fall perfect to have it happen but if they needed liquidity for something, it's possible. Shopping Channel was a surprising huge revenue driver for Rogers in 2013 (a higher revenue than the Jays (team only, not broadcast) but this year they put it up for sale. For the record Media Division revenue in the second quarter was $582M, 3rd quarter (July, August, September) was $473M. If the Jays revenue shot up, someone else in the Media division brought it way down. I am not denying it was a great increase for the Jays...I just think in actual numbers the $50M is not close.

Where would you get that from? Oh wait BR... Similar Batters through 25 1. Lloyd Moseby (956) I loved Lloyd and believe he's probably the most underrated Jay of all-time, and their age 24 and 25 seasons are pretty similar but Heyward has a really good 4 year history prior to those, whereas Moseby had 3 really weak starting years. The seasons were similar, hopefully Heyward has a better back and hammy's than Lloyd. I'd like to add that the 4th most similar guy to Heyward through age 25...Barry Bonds.

I don't doubt that...which is why I don't think Shapiro will invest heavily in long term pitching contracts. The biggest concern of the Jays going full Phillies just took his Souvlaki and went home (or took his Cellulite to South Beach if Dinger is correct)

for the record the rankings of violations goes from barely an issue to IP ban and potential legal action Post naked pics of a regular poster you have dated Tell a mod to "Fan av och dö" dick pic Racist joke that is not racist Be related to a Jays pitcher who causes them to lose (careful what you wish for Ang) Bleacher report rape a mods family member Andrew Stoeten link.

Only way I entertain trading them at this point is a disaster first half of the season. If that is the case they are more likely to waive as well.
