    Drew Smith seems like a terrible return for Duda.
  2. Abomination
    Not for Liriano. I'd be all for grabbing him, but I doubt we could without drastically overpaying.
  3. Abomination
    I hate it when the home plate ump calls a check swing. That's a rule I'd like to see baseball change.
  4. Abomination
    Please no! All we'll hear about is him bashing advanced stats all game long.
  5. Abomination
    I'm really glad for instant replay. It's so much nicer to see no arguing, but players simply asking for it to be reviewed. I'll admit though, the throwing of bases, dirt kicking, undressing, etc was at times amusing.
  6. Abomination
    Yeah. He'd seem like a good type of player to gamble on, and has the upside to be a solid, every day player at the major league level.
  7. Abomination
    I don't think we're going to see a big center piece for him. Something like a Sparkman, Burns, Starling type guy is probably all we could really expect (with the Royals picking up the remaining money). I wouldn't mind trying to nab Dozier through, if we can find a way to do that. With his bad season at AAA, he's falling behind on the depth charts. He could be available.
  8. Abomination
    Butterfield probably sent more guys into obvious outs than Rivera does. I remember it happening frequently. Sometimes putting pressure on the defense to make the play isn't a terrible idea though, especially when outfielders have to move into more awkward throwing positions.
  9. Abomination
    He's just such a horrible fielder. Seems to ALWAYS throw to the wrong base, doesn't hit the cutoff man, etc (and this is his 7th year in the league). Those don't show up as errors, but they most certainly lead to runs for the opposition. His bat just doesn't make up for it, and even that has been below average prior to this year.

    The ump has been hearing it all game from both sides, and clearly has had enough. I don't think this was a little man thing. With that said, it didn't appear there was any reason to toss Stroman there, and definitely not Martin. I think he's just fed up with all the complaining in general. I wouldn't be surprised to see an Oakland player get tossed before the game is over either.
  11. Abomination
    I wouldn't got THAT far, but they basically gave up a run-of-the-mill reliever for a guy who could be a solid, everyday position player. Maybe he never does, but it's not like they lost anything of consequence.
  12. Abomination
    That was a wicked slider.
  13. Abomination
    He's apparently using some different grips to try to prevent the blister issue. While it worked last game, I'm not surprised that he could be up and down for a while until he gets a good feel for it.
  14. Abomination
    IMO that's a really, really nice deal for the White Sox.
  15. Abomination
    Nola has now given up 2 or fewer runs in 7 straight starts, with 60 k's over that period.

    Morales!!!
  18. Abomination
    How many of those are a) easily acquirable (not a rookie), willing to dh, c) still have a positive WAR after you take into account the big negative adjustment that DHs suffer? Hell, of the guys available on the FA list next year, how many do you think would sign for less than Morales did per year to be a full time DH, and produce positive WAR? There's always gonna be guys who suddenly break out like LoMo, but that doesn't mean you'll be lucky enough to find one. We got really lucky with Smoak. Of the guys on this team, Carrera MIGHT be able to put up positive WAR as a DH (with the added benefit of not seeing him throw to the wrong base).
  19. Abomination
    Finding available, positive WAR hitters (at league min) at the DH spot might not be as easy as you think.
  20. Abomination
    Jays have been making a habit of doing that to pitchers recently.
  21. Abomination
    He's been doing a lot of fishing for breaking balls, and teams have been happy to give him a steady supply of them. As soon as he knocks that nonsense off, he'll be fine.
  22. Abomination
    Done
  23. Abomination
    Looks like someone needs to revert back to the 11:27 pm revision last night, and then reenter today's stuff.
  24. Abomination
    I do now!
  25. Abomination
    If we're trading away a SP, it would be interesting to nab Brett Anderson for the remainder of the season. Get a look at him while it doesn't matter. Maybe you can sign him for the min the remainder of the season, with a team option for next year if you're guaranteeing him a spot the rest of the year.
