    It's the Yahoo player's list (o-rank and rank)

    Finally loaded for me. He was throwing 89 to 90, with a curve and change. Add a few ticks out of the pen, and who knows.

    Huh. Could be interesting. In a fangraphs.com article from two years ago, it listed him #10 among pitchers in the Italian League (scout-), although that was as a starter. I'm having trouble getting better data on him (the wbc site is being annoying for me), but he pitched vs the dominican republic's stacked lineup in the WBC, and gave up 2 runs in 5.1 innings. Gave up solo shots to Reyes and Cano.

    He was a pick in the 60's. Could have been a lot worse. Adams, Negron, etc were pretty smelly. McGuire isn't looking good. Garry Harris, the #2 overall pick in 1980 didn't make it out of AA. I don't know what the story was though, whether there was injury or something.

    I don't mind the deal for that. I'd like to see us sign Axford still.
  6. Abomination
    And sign Beachy, move Sanchez to pen.
  7. Abomination
    If it wasn't for that vesting option, you could trade Buehrle for Papelbon, then sign Shields.

    I'd just like to say thank you King, for finally selecting an avatar photo with a shirt on.

    The entire offseason for the sport is an exercise in bad journalism. Blame twitter followers, "insiders" who retweet each other and add their own exaggerations, and click bait.

    Board links are not capable of penetrating the ether.

    In other news, girls suddenly begin renouncing alcohol. Breweries mystified.

    No you don't, you really don't.

    Plus, for the vast majority of baseball history, pitchers basically NEVER faced just one batter.

    My team of prospects is only 2 points back of you
  15. Abomination
    Well, that WOULD shorten the game. Soccer games would also probably feature more scoring than baseball games.
  16. Abomination
    I wonder what that would do to pitcher injuries, whether it would increase or decrease them?

    This was from the KHL skills competition. Sweet move!

    Probably about the same as Scherzer just got, except without the deferral.
  19. Abomination
    I really like that suggestion.

    The prototype technology they're showing off during the game is really cool!

    Lets be honest, most of the people on this board would probably give them Beeston for free, and celebrate for a week afterwards.

    It's funny that almost all the leaks and sources I've seen are ones that primarily cover the O's and associated area teams. I don't know if there was any tampering or not, but the O's organization seems to be rather porous. Most of any damage caused was probably their own doing.
  23. Abomination
    That's one of the big benefits imo. Anyway, as much as it eliminates some of the strategy, it would also add some strategy as well. Also, it's very rare that the opposing manager would be able or willing to replace that many bats. It's not something that would be happening every game or anything. As JFaS suggested, you could reduce the warmup pitches, but many pitchers talk about BP mounds being different feel than the game mounds at times. Not sure how viable that would be in practice.

    I really like the idea of relief pitchers having to throw to more than one batter (I've suggested it before here). There's nothing worse than seeing innings where you get like 4 pitching changes in a row. Completely kills any kind of momentum in the game. I'd say each pitcher should have to complete 3 full at-bats, or have the inning come to an end. You can make the rule only for the regular season if you really want to. As for the shifts, definitely NOT in favor of that. I'm okay with a pitch clock, as long as it's only designed to speed up a few of the "human rain delay" guys. I think it would be interesting to experiment with added visibility on the balls, to allow batters to pick up the ball and spin a little easier. Not sure what the results would be, but it could be played with in the AFL, etc.

    I wonder if we're the team in the lead for Beachy?
