    Interesting. I guess I'll reserve full judgement until we see who they bring in, but I'm still leaning towards not liking the move. My suspicion is one of the new coaches might be Alomar.

    I think it's more of the difference of how much you'd make without them. If someone told me I could play ball and make 100 million clean or 200 million taking banned substances, I'd probably value my health more and take the 100 million. If the choice was between being in a minimum wage job or making 100 million, I think 99.9% of us would take the steroids.
  3. Abomination
    True, but I'd still expect to see some improvement (at least in technique) considering how bad they were at it. Also, CM had been working with some of the guys in the minors for a few years, so I think some of it is fair to pin on him. That's about the only bad thing I can say about him though, and I was surprised and disappointed when I saw the headlines yesterday. I still think there's more to this.
  4. Abomination
    Some of the fundamentals (like bunting) were horrid as well, but I would have kept CM unless there's something we don't know about. As I said before, maybe he didn't get along with Gibbons. If Cito takes over as hitting coach, we had better sell high on all our left handed bats immediately.
  5. Abomination
    That felt kind of familiar ... He sure turned things around this year though aside from that.
  6. Abomination
    They did that the previous year with Yunel and Johnson too. The pitcher feels the slightest thing and they're out 6 weeks. A batter can barely walk and they're playing the field regularly. Doesn't make sense.
  7. Abomination
    I'd love to know exactly what you think you read from my post...
  8. Abomination
    I suspect this was Gibbon's decision rather than AA's. Maybe Chad and Gibbons simply didn't get along.
  9. Abomination
    I just can't do it. That crooked cap annoys me too much (not fond of his celebrations either).
  10. Abomination
    NOT funny... I'm going to have nightmares about that for the next 6 months. As others have said, there has to be more to this. Glad to see Murphy gone, but Chad seemed like a perfect fit.
  11. Abomination
    Seems like a bit of a waste to bring Jansen in here.
  12. Abomination
    I think the only way I'd let them have Hutch and Sanchez in a trade (wouldn't include Morrow) for Phillips would be if they took back some dead short term salary in return as well (can anyone say Romero?). Perhaps throw in one of our non-elite relievers too.

    Canucks are making the Oilers look really bad right now.
  14. Abomination
    In fairness, basically all of that value came from the glove, not the bat.
  15. Abomination
    Maybe the fans should now sue A-Rod for emotional distress or something. I wonder if this will spur the Yankees to try to void his contract?
  16. Abomination
    My point was that if you consider 2011 to be a career year, then 2013 was the only year he's declined, which may have just been a bad year (or perhaps he was battling some minor injuries).
  17. Abomination
    I'm not convinced he's (significantly) declining as much as just having had a bad year. 2011 was probably a career year for him, but his previous seasons were all pretty much like his 2012 was, which was almost bang on his career averages. His defensive numbers were also pretty much in line with what you'd expect, with the exception of a few extra errors. With that said, if we have to spend a higher amount next year on a second baseman I think I'd rather just go out and get infante or someone similar rather than give assets too.
  18. Abomination
    This might be the first time where "the only winners are the lawyers" is a good thing.

    Hockey and basketball are also far more dynamic, and individual results depend much more on teammates. It's much harder to do advanced analysis on it I would think.
  20. Abomination
    That was rather interesting.
  21. Abomination
    I'll take Cleveland 4-3 in extras.
  22. Abomination
    Yes. The question for me is whether he'll stay relatively healthy. In other health news, this is a rather interesting read http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/davidi-johnson-hopes-to-return-to-blue-jays/ Included were some tidbits about Alex possibly willing to do incentive deals this off-season, which is a big shift.

    Lots of high scores today. Glad none of my goalies were playing.
  24. Abomination
    If he stays healthy, I think he'll be above average.
  25. Abomination
    Genuinely want to say congrats to JPA. Still going to immensely enjoy the jokes that follow from this though.
