    Yes, it is

    I'm still not upset about d'Arnaud. Maybe he ends up being great, but his injury history is terrible and when he was with us in the minors his walk totals were kinda JPA like. The throwing arm was better. It's highly doubtful he can stick behind the plate, and whether or not he provides reasonable value at 1st or DH is anyone's guess. Syndergaard I hated losing, but I think there is a good chance that Dickey in the 4 years we have him (including last year mind you) puts up higher WAR at the MLB level than Syndergaard does. After that of course it likely changes. I'm not trying to say we didn't overpay for Dickey, because we clearly did.

    He posted 2 WAR while pitching injured half the year, it was incredible value (salary wise) even in hindsight.
  4. Abomination
    There's a few here from well before that.

    I bet the third prospect they want isn't a scrub either.
  6. Abomination
    I don't think it was, but I saw that a few mins ago. I hope AA told them where they could go.
  7. Abomination
    Can we get a best suck-up category?

    I think someone on the old boards tracked it back for several of us and the sign up date was in 2000 or 2001 some time, although I think ESPN switched to new boards around then resetting everyone's date (that happened again in 2004 or something). I'd have to dig up really old archived e-mails to see if I have some kind of welcome message from before then (if I even saved it).

    Lol, well thanks, but I'm definitely not a new poster.

    Looks like Cano wants to make up for lost time with the facial hair too now that he's out of NY.

    Assuming it doesn't cost Sanchez/Stroman, I think I would much rather try to nab Ackley or Franklin via trade than sign Infante. Both would probably provide similar WAR, but would come much cheaper in salary which gives us more for pitching.

    That might be my favorite Law quote ever!
  13. Abomination
    I love this! As I said earlier, hopefully this extends to the draft rather than just throwing away those picks meant to free up draft budget.

    This doesn't change the sport in any negative way that matters. In fact, in some ways the enforcement of it improves things. I hated how catchers would set up in front of the plate without the ball, or at least without having the ball in a position where they could tag the runner, blocking any possible avenue the runner had. That's just as dangerous for the runner to try to slide through all that equipment to have a chance at the plate they're supposed to have anyway. They have two options, slide into the equipment and risk injury, or bowl over the catcher and risk injury. BTW, for the record I think they should make it a rule that players can not intentionally make contact with a fielder (such as at second) unless the fielder is blocking their path. (Ie, no going out of their way to get a piece of the fielder, especially after they're already technically out)

    Nice, I forgot about those 5 games of Ducey.
  16. Abomination
    Does this mean Ohka becomes the first and only player to ever play for the Expos once and Jays twice? No harm from this signing though, and makes perfect sense to sign where a knuckleballer can actually help him. I'd love for the Jays to do their 5k-freeing-up-draft-slot-bonus signing on a college guy with great pitchability but subpar stuff, with the express purpose of turning him into a knuckleballer.
  17. Abomination
    No kidding!
  18. Abomination
    The courts disagree.
  19. Abomination
    There were more rumors, yes. And apparently they were all false ones. I'd rather hear what we have this year (which has seemed plausible regarding Jays related stuff), than have every journalist play us to pad their status.
  20. Abomination
    Goins is the backup SS
  21. Abomination
    Probably, but I doubt the Mariners would give up that much.
  22. Abomination
    Guess where Garza ISN'T going
  23. Abomination
    The trend is rather amusing. GM gets a big park. Clearly the rational thing to do is sign guys who can't field...
  24. Abomination
    Well, I think two things are certain: The Mariners offense has improved dramatically, and they may set some kind of record for poor defense next year.
  25. Abomination
    No idea (Jack Z is insane). Both could be fully expendable though, especially if the Mariners land Choo.
