Hmmm, I thought it was 3.7 per year. That seems like a pretty good deal for Miami.
-
Probably just in house. Izzy at 2nd and Navarro at DH.
-
That's probably fair, but heftier than I would have wanted to give him for on the bench / part time platoon.

Griffin mega interview with Paul Beeston
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Definitely some interesting stuff in there, especially regarding blackouts with games and Chapman and Tanaka (sounds like we definitely had interest in him, since they mentioned him specifically with regards to having an impact on sales). -
You Predict: Sign, Acquire, Trade
Abomination replied to Dr. Dinger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
My guess at what will happen: Sign Ubaldo, Trade Buehrle and Santos, Acquire an outfielder, 2nd baseman, and pitcher. What I want to happen: Sign Ubaldo AND Burnett, trade Janssen/Santos + Izzy + Happ, acquire Ackley or Franklin -
You Predict: Sign, Acquire, Trade
Abomination replied to Dr. Dinger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I think we'd have to kick in a little more, but I could see them having some interest in someone like Happ since I doubt they'll really want 2 rookies in the rotation to start off the year. -

You Predict: Sign, Acquire, Trade

Hard to argue with this! I wouldn't be surprised to see multiple signings and multiple players traded in the next two weeks. I could easily see us pull off trades with both the Dodgers and the Mariners. -
3rd Annual - Predict Hech Slash Line
Abomination replied to tercet's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Lol, my prediction system has him at .262/.311/.367/.678 Might be time to re-evaluate my weighting and regression. -
Lol on being able to bet on the temperature and weather!
-
I wouldn't be surprised to see Saunders put up a 120ish RC+ next year, and a move to a corner outfield spot probably puts him slightly plus defensively. He's also controllable for the next 3 years, and we're gonna have outfield issues in 2015. Anyhow, everyone needs to have one or two factually unsupportable breakout candidates or they aren't real fans
-
I still think he's a big breakout candidate, but yeah I did draft him too high. Also, I don't think Seattle wants to trade Ackley (and certainly wouldn't trade both).
-
Saunders and Franklin would be awesome targets for US imo.
-
One thing is for certain, they appear to be trying to corner the market on players who can't play defense.
-
Where the hell are the Mariners going to play him?
-
I should also mention that not all grass is equal either. Some stadiums keep the grass longer and some shorter, which affects how much the ball slows down before it gets to the infielders. What we need is FieldFX, and the sooner the better.
-
People also have to remember that Alomar was pretty much literally playing on carpet. Ground balls would shoot through the infield like a bat out of hell, so I have no doubt that defensive metrics wouldn't like him as much. Even today I think our infielder's metrics are affected a little by the turf (which I don't think they take into account), and the stuff we have now isn't even close to comparing with the old carpet.
-
You must not have been watching the first half. Beyond ugly.
-
Soooooo painful
-
Yeah, this is painful

Ben Nicholoson Smith: Jays in mix for Stephen Drew
Abomination replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Santos for Ogando! -
Hard to at 3.5M or whatever, but he might not be the worst option in the world as the 4th outfielder / pinch run specialist.
-
Ah, good
-
Yup. One of the things from last year that stood out was that a home run early in the game gave people in the competition nothing extra to cheer for the rest of the game. The extra points for things like 2 in a game, etc help that a little. Maybe something like bonus for walk offs, home run in extra innings or late in the game, etc.
-
Furthest home run that week? The occasional time with all home runs counting is kind of nice too
