  1. I made room.
  2. I'll do the 2nd round entry.
  3. I agree with giving one up for Fowler, but we've had some pretty good picks in the late 1st, sandwich in the recent past with Stroman, Sanchez, Beede (even though he didn't sign), Syndergaard, etc. It's not like the quality of player you can get is inconsequential.
  4. What's the cost?
  5. Sorry, my point being I think you can make a case that the last 2 years didn't just come out of nowhere, but have really been roughly the norm for the last 5.
  6. I'm not sure that's entirely fair. He put up ghastly defensive numbers in 2012 and 2014, but was approximately average defensively the last 2 years (definitely seems to have improved, or was fighting injury those other years). If you give him average defensive numbers those other years, he's probably 3 to 3.5 war in both, maybe a tad higher.
  7. Stroman's xFIP this year was even better in the second half, once he stopped with the stupid approach. 3.01 xFIP with ~4:1 k/bb.
  8. I'd be okay with this even with the loss of draft pick. Once you start getting up in the 20M / year range though, it gets a little more iffy.
  9. You guys DO know that the Great American Small Park is more home run friendly than Rogers Centre, right? He probably gets a road boost from playing games in Yankee Stadium and Boston, but overall numbers are probably right about where he was last year home run wise.
  10. If we traded for Billy Hamilton, we could probably go with a 5 man infield.
  11. I feel like the combination of Bruce and Upton could approach just north of 2 WAR if used right (counting a strict platoon at the one position, not other playing time that Upton gets as well). You probably get a 120 wRC+ bat with slightly negative defense before positional adjustment, assuming Bruce has figured stuff out and doesn't regress to 2014/2015 offensive approach. There's a LOT of other options I'd prefer, but I think the general doom and gloom could be a little exaggerated.
  12. Can't until mid year.
  13. I really don't know what to think about Bruce. I kinda feel, if properly platooned with someone like Upton, he's more valuable than the metrics indicate. I wouldn't want to really give up anything of consequence though.
  14. Eovaldi was released by the Yankees. He could make an interesting addition to the pen, possibly as a long man. If he could rediscover his slider from a few years ago (his velocity has actually increased in general), he'd be an intriguing later game arm. He only made 5.6M last year and wasn't claimed, so the price would likely be affordable. edited: Didn't realize he had TJS. Wouldn't be the worst guy to pick up on a 2 year team friendly deal.
  15. I wouldn't be happy if they did either. I just feel like it was a legitimate post, not something worthy of the flack he's receiving. People should be pointing out exactly what you just did, not laughing it off as some kind of joke.
  16. I don't think it was full tard at all. I don't agree with all of it, but the only top end guy he has us signing is Fowler. He seems to have tried to match our needs with keeping an eye on the budget. I don't know how he's taking the flack he is.
  17. I'm sure people will still complain that it's sexist or something. But yeah, horrible name.
  18. We're getting a little bit of a favorable whistle for once.
  19. 34 in the 1st, 0 in the 2nd lol.
  20. What do you consider cheap for Gordon?
  21. I think people are greatly underestimating just how good Liriano can be as a starter.
  22. I don't see why not, although I suspect in his case he might be healthy enough coming into spring that you might not get away with trying. Still, you could make him the long man if need be, especially if we have 26 man rosters.
  23. Brasoban (maybe), Haley, Weiss. If a commenter is correct about Ziomek being available, him too.
  24. They won't win an appeal. At best the league will say they messed up and they're sorry.
  25. There's no way they even look if we're Cleveland and Lebron takes that shot. Complete ********.
