    There's really no way to do that, at least not for all cases. For example, let's say evidence came out about a player cheating 2 years ago, and the player has since switched teams. Why should the new team, who likely knew nothing about it at all, be punished for it (beyond the player suspension which is unavoidable)? What they DO need to do is differentiate between classes of PED, and circumstances behind taking them. If it's obvious the player couldn't have taken it accidentally (via a supplement for example) and it's a heavyweight PED, throw the book at them (at least a year). If it's something like a recreational drug, even 50 games seems a little harsh. Etc. Right now the suspension isn't high enough to make the penalty worse than the potential reward in some cases.

    With the length legal trials can go, that would probably allow A-Rod to finish out his contract, then retire.

    I don't think the Mariners want to trade Ackley anyhow as he can back up center as well. It seems more likely that they'll look to trade Franklin, but Janssen and Happ wouldn't get it done.

    I don't think AA would do it even if people would believe him. He seems to be very careful to say nothing at all rather than taking even the chance of saying something that's not 100% truthful. Regardless, the teams involved will bid each other up just fine without our help.

    I wonder how much of Beckett's contract they'd be willing to "eat"? Maybe we could toss Romero back their way plus a reliever or something.

    Once he (presumably) clears waivers, he might not be the worst option in the world as a 4th outfielder and bench bat with some pop. At the very least, it would probably add far more revenue to the club than his contract would cost as it would get some of the casuals excited. If things didn't go well, cut him and bring up Pillar or something. (Still prefer someone like Baker though)

    Hurl, did you get my PM?

    God I hope someone doesn't have a gif for that...

    Looks like Rogers is also preparing to launch a Netflix / Hulu type service: http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/rogers-readying-hulu-streaming-compete-netflix-report-210842457.html

    Not to mention there's a lot of people outside of cities who have internet not capable of streaming a lot of stuff (especially at a high quality).

    I'm not sure it's even the baseball mind, since he lets the catcher call the game. He's just good at attacking hitters and sitting on the corners. I really wish more pitchers would take his approach though and just worry about hitting their spots (thinking Drabek and Morrow in particular)

    I wonder if the effectiveness would decrease as the velocity got too high (ie, would it move more or less?)

    Good think Dickey won the knuckleball category ...

    Thanks!

    What are you using to download the data, and where from?

    I've always thought Mills would be an ideal guy to try sticking in the pen rather than as a starter. Bring the fastball up to 89 or 90 along with that nasty curve and he might actually be able to provide some value.

    AA may in fact be waiting for something like that. If he can't sign a FA pitcher, he needs the prospects to trade for one (what I'm thinking is his line of thinking). If he can sign a FA pitcher or two, he can trade for the 2nd baseman.
  19. Abomination
    what the hell?
  20. Abomination
    Quicker and easier to clean too
  21. Abomination
    Ah, yeah I thought that response sounded familiar!
  22. Abomination
    Let me guess, you tried to pry Taylor Hall away?
  23. Abomination
    It's surprising there hasn't been more rumors about Tanaka so far. This thing feels like it's going to drag on the full length at this point.
  24. Abomination
    That '97 season was insane, made even more impressive by the batting average to go along with the power.
  25. Abomination
    To like Tanaka? Absolutely. To like him at ~20M/year? That's a little harder. He seems to profile very closely to a Kuroda / Iwakuma type of pitcher, but with the advantage that he's only 25 and could improve past that benchmark. It's hard to see Tanaka being much less than a #3, and probably not more than a high end #2. There's no question that he's not on the Darvish tier. I really do think AA will be all over him (which doesn't mean he'll get him). We know AA wanted to trade for Iwakuma pretty badly which further bolsters that imo.
