    I don't think they were flopping on those two possessions. I think they were legit fouled that hard.

    Only when Mia is ahead by a bunch. As soon as it gets close ...

    What makes the quote interesting is the fact that they may have a 1st baseman / DH in mind this offseason (Billy Butler maybe?)
  5. Abomination
    Keep in mind that the Jays get a large amount of their "official" revenue in USD (possibly half).

    This is getting ugly.

    Some interesting quotes in Shi's column yesterday: http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/lind-deal-one-piece-of-a-developing-puzzle/

    If I remember right, I think AA made reference to something about injured players and steering away from them at the end of last year.

    I think I'm going to get swept this week.

    Also, for whatever it's worth (which might be negative), MLBTR has us taking home Melky, Lowrie, and K-Rod this offseason.
  11. Abomination
    Looks like the Jays re-signed Korecky as well.
  12. Abomination
    Very interesting. How does Vladdy Jr compare to his dad, in terms of ability?

    JV needs to start taking that shot. They aren't biting on any fakes, even a little. They're giving it to him for free, and he can hit them from there.
  14. Abomination
    He's definitely missed more than that. I know there were stretches of a week or so when the Jays said he had a tight back and wouldn't be starting, but he was available in a pinch, etc. Those are just the official ones.
  15. Abomination
    I wouldn't be overly surprised to see them resign McGowan at 1.5 to 2M
  16. Abomination
    This is my feeling too. Estrada should be an upgrade over Happ at lesser cost (assuming Happ is traded, which I get a sense he will be), and I think we'll see a big improvement in Smoak getting out of Seattle (not to the level of Lind with the bat, but he also shouldn't need to be platooned either). When you look at the players who are on the way out (aside from the guys they indicated they'd like to bring back in Melky or relievers), you get Lind, Rasmus, possibly Happ. All players who have had questionable clubhouse makeup. Players seem to get a kick out of Lind, but I don't get a sense that he fits in overly well. Rasmus much less so. Happ made quite a big fuss out of not starting initially, etc. I think this might be more about the clubhouse than anything else. As long as they DO address some things like 2nd base, I really don't have a problem with these moves. They have to follow this up properly though.
  17. Abomination
    I guess it depends on how many NL teams see him as viable at 1st base every day (I'm assuming the Brewers do). Otherwise, the market is pretty damn limited, as a number of AL teams where he would normally fit have no room for him. Happ would fit on most teams as a #5 at reasonable cost.
  18. Abomination
    SIERRA: 3.28, 3.26, 3.43, 3.90 In reality, if he's replacing Happ, then we basically just upgraded our 5th starting pitcher, and saved a few million in the process. Happ likely brings a similar return (if not more) than what Lind would have anyway. We'll have to see how it plays out though.
  19. Abomination
    If they view Estrada as a reliever, then this is a terrible deal imo. I think he's going to be starting though, in which case I think this is actually pretty decent.
  20. Abomination
    Yeah, I don't have a big problem with this, although I would have preferred to get some cheap bullpen arms rather than pay 3-4M each for them on the open market. I suspect AA will now turn around and trade Happ, with Estrada replacing Happ at lesser cost (or he's planning to trade Buehrle, and needs to protect himself for the lost innings). Estrada's xFIP last 4 years: 3.58, 3.48, 3.63, 4.19
  21. Abomination
    Miller Park and Rogers Centre are pretty similar when it comes to home run rates.
  22. Abomination
    Khris Davis would be nice! (Yeah, I know it's not happening). I wouldn't mind Henderson + someone though.
  23. Abomination
    I'd imagine the White Sox weren't exactly thrilled about Molina either. This was a trade where both sides lost
  24. Abomination
    Dirks makes Mayberry expendable imo. Likely slightly cheaper, and much better.
  25. Abomination
    A Mayberry / Lind platoon is an excellent option, but neither has much value defensively (although I think Lind's excellent ability to scoop the ball at first makes up for his poor range a little). It's tough to roster multiple guys best suited to platoon DH. At least Dirks doesn't fit that mold.
