Well, okay, maybe not. All of next year perhaps.
-
Garrett might get a lifetime ban for that.
-
There's some suspensions!
-
Man do they look bad. It's almost comical ... or it would be if I had chosen differently in DFS.
-
Aside from his home run rate, I'd kind of prefer Gibson to Odorizzi even at even money, let alone a few million less. Hell, sign both, and forbid Gibson from ever throwing another 4-seamer again.
-
His WAR is likely significantly inflated from reality due to FIP / xFIP difference. He's basically a 4 xFIP pitcher as it currently stands. I don't like the idea of giving 20M / year for that. 15M I can get behind.
-
Unless Wheeler is closer to the 15M / year range, I really feel like he's a mistake. Some guys just don't put it together, whether from bad instruction or stubborness. He actually seems a lot like Bauer. All the talent in the world, but the results just don't match. Speaking of Bauer, in 2017 and particularly 2018, he finally breaks out by doing what? Increasing the usage of his best pitches and decreasing the usage of his worst. What does he do this year? Dramatically increases the usage of his two worst pitches and produces a 4.33 xFIP as a reward.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. looks in good shape
Abomination replied to KennerKid's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Struggling a bit in his rookie season may have been the best thing that could have happened to Vladdy. -
Boucher isn't ready to take on Gasol's role yet. I feel like his minutes are perfect right where they are right now - high enough to develop further, but low enough that the rough parts of his game aren't getting too exposed.
-
The cost also essentially decreases for each free agent. It's possible we could sign multiple free agents and take advantage of it that way. There's a few guys who could produce some pretty nice surplus value. We could theoretically sign guys like Ozuna, Grandal, Odorizzi, and others.
-
They may have taken performance with respect to age into account too (not that they should). Can't complain with either choice, but I think Cole clearly should have won it.
-
Lol. Doc Rivers' son asking the ref to give his dad a technical, that was great!
-
Yep. Exactly. I have zero issue with teams picking up on a pitcher tipping pitches or relaying signs from second. There's really no difference in cheating between the catcher sending signs to the pitcher and a player on the field decoding them and sending them to the batter. Doing it with technology during the game though, that's a definite no. MLB needs to get their act together and figure out a way to stop it, as well as dramatically increase the penalties associated with doing so.
-
It might have more to do with the roster spot as opposed to nickel and diming him. They'd probably prefer someone more likely to give innings.
-
We played great. We lost the game, but down the number of players we are, on a back-to-back, I think we served notice we're legit contenders.
-
Hell of a game. The Lakers didn't really play poorly either. That second unit was all over them.
-
FVV needs to stop giving up his dribble unnecessarily.

Offseason Starting Pitcher Options
Abomination replied to Todd Van Anus's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Lindblom actually sounds kind of interesting. I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Jacob Barnes for the pen either, and he'd be controllable for 3 years. -
Offseason Starting Pitcher Options
Abomination replied to Todd Van Anus's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I was just thinking this. -
I'm fine with Wheeler. I just don't want him at the price I think he'll get. I was pretty clear about that.
-
Salazar shouldn't cost a ton. If he goes down, he goes down. I don't really care if it's rotation or BP, but he probably won't sign to be a pen arm. I don't really want Wheeler. I think he's going to cost a lot and never live up to the arm. I mean, if he comes "cheap", of course. I feel like he's looking at 5/100 or more though.
-
Ryu and Salazar would look good imo. Of course I'd like Cole, but I'd be pretty thrilled with getting those two.
-
What a catch by Tate!
-
Big yes to Salazar, no to Teheran.
-
Heh. That would get fixed in a hurry.
