    No kidding. I definitely didn't want him at 17.5 per.
  2. Abomination
    Alternatively when he starts you could move Bautista to 3rd and go with a 5 man infield with Gose and Rasmus in the outfield. Would be an interesting experiment, especially if Porcello keeps the high gb rate with 7+ k's.

    I don't get it either, and reports from this year seemed to indicate that he's made good mental improvements. His walk rate during rehab this year was fantastic.

    Those are some very interesting points. I wonder if they could also be interested in Izzy returning, especially if they were considering trading Kendrick (whether to us or elsewhere). Perhaps a Romero and Blanton swap as well could be interesting for both sides. The best part would be if JPA went the other way. It would be amusing to see which of the wills would win between JPA and Scioscia.

    It's back a few posts

    If we're going to trade with Detroit for a pitcher, I'd rather nab Smyly over Porcello
  7. Abomination
    Maybe this will spur Detroit on to trade for a few of our relievers ...

    Avila was about 2 inches away from a broken hand on that foul tip.

    Fielder looks terrible at the plate (looks a little heavier to me too)

    Interesting to see the lack of success for the Rays since 2007.

    AA seemed to be pretty clear about wanting to upgrade the defense. When he makes these little hints, it always seems to be his focus. I don't think we'll see him pick someone up who isn't plus defense at 2nd.

    Well, I didn't mean JPA back there for the next 6 or 7 years. McCann at the end of that contract is going to look every bit as bad as some of the other monster deals signed recently. JPA can be cut and replaced at will.
  13. Abomination
    I'd be happy with 4/60 plus an option, but that's about it. I'd rather have JPA back there at 2M than McCann at 20M for 6 or 7 years, and that's saying something.

    One thing that could be worth noting is that the Canadian dollar is expected to fall into the .90 range vs the USD next year. Since we pay salary in USD and take in CAD, that difference might also affect the payroll number a little.

    It's actually interesting seeing the difference in runs scored / allowed between then and now. Back in '07, only 4 teams gave up less than 700 runs and only 2 scored less than that. Last year, 20 teams gave up less than 700 runs (5 with less than 600), and 19 scored less than 700 (2 less than 600).

    Does anyone know of any studies available relating injury rates in Japan where they pitch once a week with higher pitch counts to here where they pitch more frequently with (usually) lower pitch counts?

    Verlander is being out-bearded
  18. Abomination
    Yeah, I saw that article yesterday. That is one writer that needs to be looking for a new line of work.

    I really dislike the overall idea of making everyone in the bullpen a specialist, especially in the playoffs. You never know what pitcher is going to be on or not any given day, so if you have one who is I think it's idiotic to pull him after one batter and play Russian Roulette with the next pitcher. If 2 lefties are coming up next inning, bring in a lefty, etc. Don't match up batter to batter in general. Just my opinion.

    I think he realized that most of the talent in the farm wasn't going to pan out, at least not along the specified timeline. With the pressure from Rogers to produce he didn't really have the option of a second rebuild. It didn't appear that we were a preferred destination for FA's, so he traded. In a few years (assuming he can get us in the playoffs and isn't fired), he'll probably take over as president and someone else will rebuild. Really, in spite of a fairly high ranked farm, it hasn't produced a whole lot. With 2 or 3 exceptions, most of what we traded away looks like we made the right decision on.

    Canucks managed to give up about the worst own goal you'll ever see...

    If a star player was qualified and accepted, they could almost certainly trade him for roughly what they'd receive with the pick, if not more. (maybe the rules would have to be changed to remove 10-5 rights if the player accepts). It really only affects players who are generally not elite who the team thinks isn't worth the QO but will decline it to sign a multi-year deal somewhere, which isn't really the intent of the rule, is it?

    Machado having reconstructive surgery on his knee. Wonder if that will affect his range and prevent him from moving to short?
  24. Abomination
    I think this is an excellent point. Guys who have had success their whole careers probably haven't had to make a ton of adjustments. A marginal guy has probably had hitting coaches from 20 teams try to monkey with his approach and mechanics, and has practical experience with many different philosophies.
