Brandon Phillips is a f***ing idiot lol

"I don't do that MLB Network on-base percentage (stuff),'' Phillips told USA TODAY Sports. "I think that's messing up baseball. I think people now are just worried about getting paid, and worrying about on-base percentage, instead of just winning the game. "That's the new thing now. I feel like all of these stats and all of these geeks upstairs, they're messing up baseball, they're just changing the game. It's all about on-base percentage. If you don't get on base, then you suck. That's basically what they're saying. People don't care about RBI or scoring runs, it's all about getting on base. "Why we changing the game after all of this time? If we all just took our walks, nobody would be scoring runs. Nobody would be driving anybody in or getting anybody over. How you going to play the game like that. People don't look at doing the things the right way, and doing things to help your team win. "I remember back in the day you hit .230, you suck. Nowadays, you hit .230, with a .400 on-base percentage, you're one of the best players in the game. That's amazing. I've never seen (stuff) like that. Times have changed. It's totally different now. "But that's just me. "And I don't give a damn what people think about me.''

You sonofabitch

I'll probably nab him in the waiver draft next year as a late-week SB play.

Ziegler for Navarro makes is so obvious that you have to think it was one of the first scenarios discussed when the teams chatted. With Arizona's black hole at C and glut of relievers, I'm assuming Toronto isn't interested in Ziegler.

Hamilton. He's going to keep throwing 2-3 win seasons on the board as long as his legs hold up, and he could BABIP his way to some 4-5 win years.

I kind of feel like D-Backs fans would be laughing at us if they saw us discussing Navarro for Inciarte. 1 year of a $5M replacement-level catcher for 5 years of a 1-3 win OF who is a plus defender at all 3 positions and only makes 500K this year. I don't think they're in the same hemisphere value-wise.

Lol

lmao

Anyone else remember Luke Prokopec?

It's 1:20 PM...

Yeah. I'll be surprised if Navarro isn't DHing at least 3 times a week. Bleeding runs at 1B to get that 100 wRC+ bat in at DH!

Yup.

Bolsinger getting the spot would really take away from the fun we're all having with Boxy in the LOD.

Yeah. And they save like $4M by cutting him now. I'm sure there were no takers for the $5.5M he was owed.

I think he might go top-10 now that I think about it. Who goes ahead of him? Trout Cutch Harper Goldy Stanton Kershaw Puig/Abreu/Tulo/Posey?

Top-15.

Just another Gabe Gross.

Great point Greenwood.

3 consecutive years with a 130+ wRC+ for Craig before 2014. At just 30, he could have another 5 big years left in him.

Pomeranz. Not nearly enough for Craig IMO. I don't think he's finished after one bad year. Nice move Boxy.

Maybe Dinger is still mulling over my reasonable Jason Vargas offer.

I still don't understand why this hasn't been done.

You'd probably have to add a mid-round pick or something to even it out.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.
