    4th I believe (Verlander pitcher earlier). More importantly, I think he's 10th in WAR. (qualified)
  2. Abomination
    The Cards just put up 8 extra base hits in one inning!
  3. Abomination
    1) It may not have been their decision. In fact, I think that was already widely reported on that they wanted to blow it up and weren't allowed to. 2) Saying it wasn't the right move because of how things turned out doesn't mean it wasn't the right move at the time. You can get good results from bad process and bad results from good process. If the offer was too low at the time, then they made the right move to turn it down regardless of how things ended up.

    It's possible, but seems very unlikely. More likely is talks just didn't get to a point where his agent thought it necessary to tell him. Maybe the Jays aren't too enthusiastic about extending him, or maybe Stroman's side is just asking for too much to be worth exploring. Who knows. I seriously doubt there's been no discussion at all between them though.
  5. Abomination
    We don't know what Stroman is asking for. If we're dead set on trading him rather than paying him 5/75 or something, then management is being outrageous. If he's asking for 6/150, thanks for the memories and good luck.
  6. Abomination
    It's really incredible just how much sink Stroman gets on that fastball. He's not quite Derek Lowe territory, but he doesn't have the same angle to work with either.
  7. Abomination
    Yes, but that's not the point. The point is, the return probably would have been light at the time, and turning it down was probably correct (depending on who the other piece was).
  8. Abomination
    Looking at the date of the tweet, it sounds like that would have been offered in the winter of 2017 or early spring 2018, when we still expected Donaldson to be elite and part of a competing team. It wasn't last offseason (for obvious reasons). That return probably would have been a little light for someone coming off 8.7, 7.6, and 5.1 WAR seasons.
  9. Abomination
    Same basic risk today or in 5 days though, only they'd get him for one more start. I don't see that as an excuse for waiting. I think teams will wait until the last minute for buyers and sellers to shake out, since there's so many bubble teams atm.
  10. Abomination
    Well, if they pulled the trigger now he wouldn't be pitching this evening.
  11. Abomination
    He'll start unless there's an imminent trade. He won't make the start on the 29th or 30th though.
  12. Abomination
    You might be able to make an argument that he's the best starter available even if those guys are on the market. They may have more upside, but all 3 are having subpar years at higher cost.
  13. Abomination
    Yankees are pretty lucky to only give up 1 in that situation.
  14. Abomination
    Nothing like a closer coming in and walking the bases loaded.
  15. Abomination
    I think someone said 180k peak (which probably equates to more than 180k people). That's pretty good.
  16. Abomination
    Those were some absolutely wicked pitches to McKinney.
  17. Abomination
    It basically sounds like the players only games in the NBA. The Danny Jansen interview was awesome though.
  18. Abomination
    They don't have the rights to this game.
  19. Abomination
    I miss Buehrle.
  20. Abomination
    Yeah, no way in hell that should be a hit.
  21. Abomination
    This has been my stance for quite a while. Reduce the season to 150 games, add a round to the playoffs, eliminate the wildcard, and have each round best of 7. Attendance would probably go up 20% across the league.
  22. Abomination
    They could still be evaluating Shafer. The injury didn't look good, and that would solve the problem.
  23. Abomination
    The problem is the 40 man, not the 25 man.
  24. Abomination
    Maybe they DFA Davis. It's hard to see many other options though. Font I guess.
  25. Abomination
    Tonight.
