    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

    Miller Park and Rogers Centre are pretty similar when it comes to home run rates.

    Khris Davis would be nice! (Yeah, I know it's not happening). I wouldn't mind Henderson + someone though.
  4. Abomination
    I'd imagine the White Sox weren't exactly thrilled about Molina either. This was a trade where both sides lost

    Dirks makes Mayberry expendable imo. Likely slightly cheaper, and much better.
  6. 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.
  7. Abomination
    What lesson exactly is that? If the bosses wanted him to do it the previous year, they were probably a little firmer about it the next year. If he refused, he's probably fired on the spot.
  8. Abomination
    That's a nice little pickup, provided he's not playing every day.

    Fairly SSS, but Redmond has a career 3.25 FIP and 3.61 xFIP vs righties (with a good k/bb), and gets destroyed vs lefties. Moving him to a role where they can match him up better makes a certain amount of sense. Hendriks should be roughly equivalent to Redmond in the long relief role. Of course, the also probably could have just plopped Jenkins in that role.
  10. Abomination
    This seems a little odd, but I have to think he's the new long man next year. Throws strikes, youngish, cheap, some upside. Could be a lot worse options imo, especially since Redmond will almost certainly be graduating to higher profile situations. Seems like a bit of a waste to give up a player to get someone to fill that role though.

    The poor defense in actual games surprises me a bit. I could have sworn when Smoak was coming up, he was billed as an elite defender.
  12. Abomination
    Me too. Really glad he's been called up.
  13. Abomination
    Smoak's career road splits are quite a lot better than his home ones (mostly due to a babip more in line with what you'd expect to see). It's possible he's doing something different in Safeco, or for some reason just doesn't see the ball well there.
  14. Abomination
    Interesting. Also looks like Seattle is just about done with Saunders as Jack Z called him out, so maybe a Lind for Saunders swap?
  15. Abomination
    Yeah, this is very surprising. It would be interesting to know what Seitzer signed for in Atlanta.
  16. Abomination
    I have no doubt you'll be extending it next week too
  17. Abomination
    Nothing like my goalie giving up 5 goals and still getting the win.
  18. Abomination
    I don't believe it would, at least not right now. There seems to be a pretty high immigrant population, most of which doesn't seem to come from places particularly interested in baseball.
  19. Abomination
    It sure would have been more useful if Yahoo had told me last night that Kane and Nichuskin had been activated yesterday, rather than this morning when it was too late to do anything about it...

    Is there a little keyboard picture at the bottom of your screen (language bar)? If so, click on it and select the correct language.
  21. Abomination
    He'll get way too much money. Not worth the premium.
  22. Abomination
    Even the new WOW expansion went from 39.99 to 49.99
  23. Abomination
    It shouldn't be surprising. At some point, you (mostly) exhaust what you can do with the available stats. Then you wait until data collection improves and begin again. With MLBAM rolled out next year to all 30 teams, we should see an explosion in the next year or two. Also, as each new stat improves on previous ones, the amount of improvement is generally smaller. At some point, people (at least the public) don't care about the difference in the small amount of improvement, especially if it also comes with an extremely complicated formula.
  24. Abomination
    That part is rather interesting.
  25. Abomination
    That's an interesting point. I hope I can free up some time soon to give it all a go.
