    They should have waited until the season tickets went on sale. Between the time people heard we signed Doc until the time they got to the part about him retiring they probably could have put an addition thousand butts in the seats.

    Considering the injuries we've had the last 2 years, improving the bench might add more value than anywhere else J/k, but in all fairness, he can't force something that the market isn't ready for. If he can't get the SP or 2b yet, then he should absolutely get what he can (as long as it doesn't impact the other later).
  3. Abomination
    My guess would be Ogando.
  4. Abomination
    Interesting! And (depending on the return of course), good to see Alex looking to move a reliever.
  5. Abomination
    Maybe both their prices get jacked up, Mariners get both, and we somehow manage to nab Iwakuma and Franklin out of it. Yeah, probably not, but it's nice to dream.
  6. Abomination
    Not really, but it is more relevant than a thread created about David Cooper imo...
  7. Abomination
    Apparently other teams aren't the only ones asking for a ton for their players! That trade would be all kinds of win though.
  8. Abomination
    We need to let Jack Z keep his nuts and first born. Maybe they'll breed more really dumb GM's for us to exploit!
  9. Abomination
    Well, he let one go. Gotta maintain the quota!
  10. Abomination
    I think everyone was told at the time that Cooper's injuries would end his career.

    Neither is obviously ideal, but Choo strikes me as a complete disaster waiting to happen - possibly worse than the A-Rod / Pujols / Hamilton / Fielder deals when all is said and done. Jimenez I think is under-rated (but won't be underpaid).
  12. Abomination
    I don't know how anyone else feels, but I suspect Choo is going to get paid a LOT more for a LOT longer than any team should be comfortable giving him. I'd much rather give 16-17M / year for 5 years to Jimenez than 20+M / year for 7 years to Choo.
  13. Abomination
    I can't believe he's apparently getting a major league deal.

    How can anyone immediately assume this will happen? People do both around here, including me on occasion. From a personal perspective, I have a hard time believing AA would put that big a dent in the offense to try to help the pitching unless he has another move lined up as well (like signing Hart perhaps). Regardless, until a more concrete rumor comes along, I'll chalk this up to a bored journalist.
  15. Abomination
    Yeah, 300 wins today is probably unrealistic, but I agree that Halladay "feels" like a HOF. As much as my heart wants him in the hall, I question if the lack of longevity in the game makes him deserve it. Does him being one of the game's elite pitchers over the last 10 years make up for it? Another way of looking at this though could be that Halladay has more career fWAR than Alomar. B-R lists him as 136th overall in career WAR.
  16. Abomination
    Interesting. Won't be a trade though imo, or we'd probably see at least some kind of sign. Has to be some kind of free agent signing or extension (or possibly something about the new ST complex?)
  17. Abomination
    I bet Friedman could have some real fun with an Ouija board and a camera on April fool's day...
  18. Abomination
    Might have been smarter to say you over-performed, otherwise they probably told you that you were grounded until you starter working hard enough to realize your true talent...
  19. Abomination
    No, it isn't. It's an evaluation tool to help us see past personal bias to determine what a given team should be able to attain all things being equal. It can't account for things like freak injuries (or freak good health), or trades that haven't happened yet for example. Using them in hindsight is a misapplication of them, as is believing that they are designed as some sort of absolute predictor of the future.

    I don't follow the nba that closely other than watching some of the Raptor's games when I'm bored, but that return seems terrible.
  21. Abomination
    Well, Delmon does hit lefties well. He can't possibly be any worse at 1st as he is in the outfield, can he? In all seriousness, we could probably do worse than him as a motivated bench platoon guy with some pop.

    NHL Thread

    Abomination replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    Thornton said that it wasn't his intention. Which part exactly? It seemed pretty hard to mistake that for an accident...
  23. Abomination
    Even better would be to trade them a reliever for Gardner ourselves and extend him, then trade Rasmus to Seattle to fix 2nd base (and get good young controllable talent to boot).
  24. Abomination
    Yeah, if everything goes right they could be deadly, but that's asking a lot especially of aging guys. I also don't like their rotation very much.
  25. Abomination
    It would be so hilarious if they skimped the rest of the offseason to just squeak in under the cap, then had someone trigger a forgotten about bonus at the end of the season...
