The one and only Masahiro Tanaka posting and bidding thread
Abomination replied to SAAviour's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Could be just as much fun if Seattle "stole" Tanaka AND Cano from NYY. That should really rile them up. -
This is interesting: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/01/gammons-on-top-starters-shields-blue-jays-drew-polanco.html As much as it's Boras which makes it incredible unlikely, if we don't like the FA pitching prices and he's willing to play 2nd ...

I don't think Kershaw's will have an impact (although I'm sure the agents will try). If Tanaka gets closer to 18M per, it's going to kill the other FA. If he gets 22M-25M, it's going to elevate them like crazy. It all depends on Tanaka. -
I'm not really seeing a lack of effort, just bad results. These kind of nights happen.

Looks like the contract is back loaded

Why do I have an image of JFaS writing an article about all this right now...

I'm fairly certain Beckett will be traded if they get Tanaka.

From what I understand, advertising rates in the USA are far higher than they are in Canada. Also, a condensed audience is often preferred as it's easier to target specific demographics (this is how I understand it, I'm not a marketing person). Longer term deals also may lose the network money in the short term while making them a lot at the back end, unless they're structured like the Phillies deal is. Finally, audience I believe is calculated differently. It's very hard to find specific information on this. I think it's safe to assume that Rogers is getting WAY more benefit from it than they're awarding to the Jays, but honestly as long as we're given a reasonable payroll to work with (and we now have been), I'm okay with that.
-
Would they be eligible for both though? That part is a little unclear (remember our prospect draft will be before the MLB one since we're just starting out)
-
What happens if someone doesn't make the cuts in time? (Just curious in case it comes up in the BBDL). Also, how are you handling things if someone in the prospect draft picks someone ineligible, then puts the next person on the clock?

Nice! -
The one and only Masahiro Tanaka posting and bidding thread
Abomination replied to SAAviour's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If his wife wants to do movies and things like that, they shoot a lot of them in BC as well which would add to the appeal of Seattle for him. As for the scouting reports, most of what I've seen has suggested a fastball more in the 91-93 range, but he can reach back for a little extra from time to time. I don't recall seeing anything about him sitting in the mid 90's or higher. -
Several of their pitchers seem suspicious to me too. Regardless, it appears that A-Rod wants to try to take everyone with him. He's going to get years worth of lawsuits thrown at him if he isn't careful.

Nice job! Might be worth noting that the only actual winners are probably, like always, the lawyers. Yankees are a close second though -
WHO??? seems like the appropriate comment to make here

Love Braden's attitude regarding being forced to retire: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/01/dallas-braden-to-retire.html

Looks like minor leaguer Will West got suspended again for failing the drug program DURING the time he was already suspended for failing the drug program lol.

Sickels Preliminary Jays prospect list
Abomination replied to John_Havok's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Seems rather pointless for him to just post the list that he will be analyzing, not to mention if he feels there are 42 worthy of analysis, why the hell not do the extra 7??? -
I like what we have better, but that seems like a decent deal.

I remember going to Quebec when I was a kid. The police were on strike, and were standing with picket signs in the parking lot of a donut shop (I'm not kidding). Wish I had a picture of it! Everyone seemed pretty friendly overall, although that wasn't Montreal. -
Lol, go Spanky! On the plus side, you probably have significantly better odds of that happening than winning a similar amount in other forms of lottery.

Looks like you can get it from extra skater as well: http://www.extraskater.com/teams/on-ice?sit=5v5&type=total

Here we go, this should help! http://stats.hockeyanalysis.com/teamstats.php?db=201314&sit=5v5&disp=1&sortdir=DESC&sort=GFPCT

It doesn't help for right now, but it looks like http://www.hockey-reference.com/ is coming soon Stats aren't really populated yet for it.

If he keeps this up, he may have to be the first baseball player to defect TO Cuba to play.
