  1. In fairness, Colby wasn't exactly a wizard with his throws either. Gose does need to cut down the mental errors though.
  2. Yeah, it's more questionable for the BBDL, but even then new people should come around as old ones leave. I'd also assume some managers might like the chance at both if holes need to be filled.
  3. The reports on Morrow is that he's 100% healthy with no lingering concerns.
  4. I actually really like Price, but Choo basically puts up plus fantasy numbers in every single category, and there's no reason to think that he won't make enough emergency appearances in CF to maintain eligibility there for a few years. Add in the upgrade in MiLB draft position etc, and I like this trade for you far far more.
  5. Wow, I like that WAAAAY better for Dinger
  6. AA's suggestion that he's reconsidering the FA market suggests to me that the Jays do in fact have money to spend, they just don't like the prices at the moment (and if Santana and Jimenez really do each want 20M / year, then I completely agree). There could be some other interesting things that come out of the Tanaka situation though too, especially if Seattle gets him. Would they then turn around and trade King Felix for example? Would they be willing to trade for a guy like Rasmus in that situation (say Rasmus + Sanchez + Gose for Walker + Saunders + Franklin or something)? Worth thinking about, as they certainly do have some logjam to clear out.
  7. I wish I had known about the result of the changes to the posting system when the prediction contest started. I wouldn't have picked the Yankees for Tanaka if I had. Of course, my picks have been horrific so far so I guess it doesn't matter.
  8. Age: Anderson >> McGowan Stuff: McGowan > Anderson Skill: Anderson > McGowan Contract: McGowan >> Anderson Injury risk: McGowan = Anderson (imo)
  9. I'd say they're both about equal, with a nod to McGowan on stuff and Anderson on feel.
  10. I know that, like I said in Verlander's no hitter I'm sure I remember seeing some 101's and 102's, which is why I was surprised not to see him on the list.
  11. Without looking it up, it seems weird that Verlander isn't on that list. In that no hitter he threw against us, every fastball in the 9th I think was over 100, and I thought there was a few 101's and 102's.
  12. I think Maholm is extremely underrated (someone should get great value out of him), but with that said I agree with others in that he's not the kind of guy we need right now.
  13. I think it depends what you can move him for. If it's a decent player with several years of control, then absolutely. If not, might be better to keep him and get the pick.
  14. Ah, so it does. I totally missed it. The link should be made more obvious. Make the entire sentence the link.
  15. Poor Hentgen. Gets the BP job, has to back out after a single year because of his daughter's illness. That finally stabilizes and he returns to the BP job, then has to back out the next year because of his dad being ill. Poor guy. I may as well be the first to say it, but why the hell wasn't Halladay named the BP coach (unless he wants some time off or wants to be in the front office)?
  16. Apparently that total is not linear, so they start out only getting about 60 or 70M / year and it gradually increases. Still a big increase over their current deal (although doesn't kick in for another year or two). BTW, these 25 year deals seem like a really really bad idea to me, although at least Philly gets a stake in the revenue above the fixed amount per year.
  17. Cool! You should add a link to the google docs spreadsheet in the BB article also.
  18. I wonder what the other move would be that this would set up, since we'd have 3 1B/DH (unless we moved EE back to 3rd and Lawrie to second, which I hope we don't do).
  19. I don't think we will. I believe we will add one #3 or better starter, but I don't know whether that will come via trade or FA.
  20. Yeah, I noticed that too. Still never hurts to see how others are approaching a problem though, which can often spark other ideas.
  21. I don't think it's so much a 200+ inning guy as guys we can be fairly certain will make the majority of their starts. Morrow is a complete unknown in that regard, as are the depth guys we have.
  22. People might find this kind of interesting http://www.thegiantscove.com/2014-articles/january/major-league-baseball-line-ups-the-mobius-theory.html
  23. Out of curiosity, why did you decide to stack pitching rather than hitting (not that your bats aren't pretty damn good also, just not quite the level of your pitching)
