    In round 2 also, ouch. So, does that mean he's damaged goods going for a penny on the dollar?
  2. Abomination
    Looks like Leon Draisaitl was called up by Spittin, and should be removed from his prospect list.

    Thought I'd remind people about this: http://fantasy.sportsnet.ca/sn/hockey14/promo

    They do seem like a good fit. They really need to move 2 outfielders, and they likely have an extra infielder (unless they move Gordon to SS and Guerrero in to 2nd). You have to wonder if a bigger deal might not work. Let's say Reyes + Buehrle + Navarro + Romero for Kemp + Crawford + Guerrero. I know Kemp's contract hurts (and for a long time), but short term this would really help both teams imo, and longer term Guerrero should at least help balance out Kemp a bit. We'd save about 8M in the deal next year (and could free up 7.5 more trading Lind, since one of the outfielders could move to first/dh) to hopefully sign Martin, and we'd have C - Martin 1B - Bautista 2B - Guerrero SS - Izzy? 3B - Lawrie LF - Crawford CF - Pompey / Gose RF - Kemp DH - Encarnacion Our outfield defense is probably a wash, but our infield defense improves very dramatically at SS (even if it's Izzy), 1B, and C. Offensively we also improve quite significantly. The Dodgers also improve, filling needs at SS, C, and SP while replacing Kemp with Pederson. Crawford is probably equal production wise to the platoon of Ethier + Van Slyke.

    Someone needs to put that owl in the crowd out of it's misery.
  6. Abomination
    Yeah, although Petit was stretched out heading into the playoffs. Jenkins was basically a 1 inning guy.
  7. Abomination
    Yeah, I'd keep those two over him also. Romo second half of the season was pretty damn good though. 10.35k/9, 7.67 k/bb, 0.85 whip, 2.89 xFIP. He should be closing somewhere.
  8. Abomination
    Ah, I missed that part of the question.
  9. Abomination
    Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell and Guillermo Mota to the Red Sox for Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez, Jesus Delgado and Harvey Garcia.
  10. Abomination
    Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay to the Braves for Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Beau Jones?
  11. Abomination
    I'd be all over it if I was in the league. Good buy low opportunity. I'm protecting him on my BBDL team.
  12. Abomination
    Of course there's other things that could be done with possible better result. The interesting debate was about the merits of giving up three young potentially high end guys for a controllable and still relatively cheap elite player.
  13. Abomination
    Anyone interested in Hjalmarsson? Lots of blocks, not looking for a big return.
  14. Abomination
    It is an interesting question, isn't it? I think it's worth keeping in mind that those 4 arbitration years (especially the last 2) could be pretty damn expensive also (although still worth it). If we had essentially an unlimited payroll, I'd say absolutely. If they stay healthy though (big if), those three guys might be capable of putting up 10+ WAR next year, at ~3M. We saw what happened this year when we were forced to plug a bunch of holes with scrubs. In some ways, I think we might be better off having multiple above average players than one star and a bunch of scrubs (yes I realize the two choices shouldn't be mutually exclusive, but they probably are given recent history).
  15. Abomination
    I might have some minor interest
  16. Abomination
    The financials say the following:
  17. Abomination
    Lol @ Jones and the pigeons.
  18. Abomination
    We seriously need to get Gose a batting helmet that actually fits him.
  19. Abomination
    More like monthly, and the announcers daily lol
  20. Abomination
    Wily Peralta with 9 k's in 4 innings, only 63 pitches.
  21. Abomination
    We should start calling those slides by Pillar the "safeplant".
  22. Abomination
    Yeah, I agree. I really think we need to develop our own pitchers, and pay for hitters. Getting any FA pitchers to come here is going to be a nightmare.
  23. Abomination
    Getting back to the spirit of the thread, I'll throw a crazy one out there. I wonder how much the Yankees would be willing to eat of A-Rod's contract to get rid of him? If they were to cover, say, half his contract, plus the bonuses if he reaches them, and take back Romero and Izzy (which would free up money next year for us)... They'd get Izzy plus save about 23M and the headaches, and we can plop him at 3rd and move Lawrie to 2nd. He probably earns roughly the 10M / year we'd be paying.

    AA knows baseball just fine for the position of president. Half of it is liaising with the ownership anyway from what I understand, with the other half coordinating everything that isn't related specifically to players. It's far less critical than it is for the GM who actually signs the players, and having someone as President who was actually a GM can only be an advantage.
  25. Abomination
    Maybe the best approach is to have Beeston retire, and move AA up to President. That may be a better fit for him anyway. Then pay a bunch to lure a proven great GM away from someone
