  1. Your prediction is off to a good start lol.
  2. Severino might be slightly amped up lol.
  3. Holding off on Kluber seems iffy, since you don't want to exit after game four with your ace on the bench. Still, it could also allow them to start Kluber in game 1 of the next series if the series doesn't go five. Hard call.
  4. Most guys are linked to someone, and have agreements in place. I'm not sure to what degree that's allowed, but that doesn't seem to be considered a problem. Paying their agents, or paying them under the table, etc IS. Given that the GM resigned near the conclusion of the investigation, I think it's pretty likely they did something blatantly illegal.
  5. They probably got as much from ticket sales and stuff when they announced it as it cost them anyway.
  6. The Twins are a feel good story, and anything can happen in a single game playoff, but it's almost impossible to argue that the Yankees aren't the more deserving team.
  7. I think I'd be fine with taking that full contract off their hands, in spite of Stanton's injury history. I wouldn't want to give up blue chippers in addition though. He probably earns the contract in the next five or six years, which makes up for the last few being a little ugly.
  8. Avoid Reddit, avoid comments to articles posted on new sites, avoid Twitter. Take what Atkins says, and try to figure out what players he may be interested in. Debate their merits with other level headed people. You'll be much happier, enjoy the process, and probably learn some stuff too
  9. You can add as long as Yahoo says you have room and a valid roster (ie, no one who is healthy but occupying an injury slot on your team). You can call a prospect up immediately, but once you do, you can never send him back down. The 60 GP limit is the mandatory games limit that a prospect has to be called up by (at the next cutdown).
  10. Damn you, now I gotta scrub my YouTube history.
  11. Still a pretty good deal for him. He'll either get a big payday, or he'll get a second signing bonus.
  12. If he was declared a free agent, would he still be subject to the bonus pools again, or be an actual free agent?
  13. Aside from protecting himself against injury, the biggest advantage for Donaldson in signing early is not having to fight with other elite guys in that stupidly good FA class next year.
  14. Maybe not, but if he wasn't looking for a longer deal now, his timing to go to the front office to talk about it doesn't make much sense.
  15. He'd form a pretty incredible 1-2 punch with Kenley. I think Morrow is a FA (and this is the first year he's been healthy in a long time), Cingrani has been great over the last 2 months, but not especially great prior to the trade. Most of the rest of the pen is fairly forgettable. I don't know if Zobrist would waive the no trade, but he'd be a beautiful fit for us and shouldn't cost much to acquire.
  16. Yeah, that's annoying. With Pittsburgh and Oakland winning too, this win could cost us three spots in the draft, depending on the tiebreak.
  17. Well, the game means nothing. The wildcard game will be a sellout no doubt. I wonder if it might allow us to leapfrog them in the average attendance though?
  18. I'd kinda like to see Alford get a full season at AAA next year.
  19. Sign Otani, extend Donaldson, trade Osuna for Joc Pederson, sign Smith (he seemed to indicate he'd be open to that when leaving), trade for Zobrist, trade Morales (getting exposed on the breaking balls in a division with some wicked ones) and Pearce (he isn't being used right anyway) for salary relief. Kidnap Manfred, and torture him until he agrees to replace the blisterballs. Chances of ANY of that happening: probably next to zero.
  20. The question would be, can we replace him at the kind of value he currently represents? He may be a guy who you keep until free agency, then part ways with.
  21. The Raptors play a preseason game tonight at 10 (Sportsnet One).
  22. Goins almost managed to catch Bautista in SLG lol. I really hope he's injured or something, and it's not just age.
  23. MLB.TV is apparently free this final weekend (er ... tomorrow).
  24. Yeah, it is interesting. I took a peek at his Twitter feed though (always dangerous to do), and there's hints that he's still rehabbing. Whatever the injury was, I think it may have been a lot more serious than assumed.
