  1. Can we just ban the 4 people who voted for Melky?
  2. It's really hard to imagine Melky as a useful player 2-3 years from now.
  3. It's not that I don't like Pompey. It's that you want guys like that stepping in as depth mid-season. If Pillar and Pompey struggle/get hurt, who steps in? There's nobody else after them.
  4. Yeah. I'm expecting every capable major league bullet to open the season in the majors (Pompey, Pillar, and now Travis).
  5. I really hope that the OF solution isn't status quo. They have Mayberry/Dirks in LF which you probably pencil in for like 0 WAR, Pillar who might be an OK 4th OF, and Pompey, who could be anywhere from above-average to terrible. If this is the group they plan on rolling with, I don't think they get a whole lot from their OF outside of Bautista.
  6. He's 24 before the season starts, and has 400+ successful PA in at AA, so he could be used from opening day. They should probably have a solid contingency plan in place in the not-unlikely event that he struggles though.
  7. Yeah. People are acting like Travis is a solid bet to come in and be a league-average starter. That's probably not going to happen yet.
  8. I don't think the Tigers were tricked. Gose is the same age as Travis, and probably not worse - just different. They have Kinsler at 2B, and a 500K 4th OF who can play plus defense at all three positions and provide big value on the bases is a nice asset. Fair trade.
  9. I'm not saying it's a bad move. I like Travis. Just pointing out that Gose isn't nothing. I liked that skill set.
  10. OK. Travis has a legit chance to be a league-average 2B immediately. Losing Gose is a hit though.
  11. I have a lot of grievances to air with you people. I'll see you guys tomorrow tonight ready to bring the pain.
  12. It's only a matter of time until a Grilli/Miller/Robertson/Romo is a Blue Jay.
  13. North is the forum's best poster? http://www.theprospect.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/funny-gif-man-jump-out-the-window.gif
  14. Yeah, and like Terninator said he's been unable to land a deal like this. This deal is just insane.
  15. More likely now. This is precedent setting. A 36-year old bat-only player has never received money like this (IIRC). Bau will be looking at 4/80 and Edwin like 5/100 if they have good 2016 seasons.
  16. So now Edwin and Jose will be looking for 4/80+ after 2016.
  17. Jesus. This is one of the most egregious signings ever.
  18. lmao @ 4/72 for a 36-year old DH.
  19. I think he's more of a 1-1.5 win guy. Next year. And he's going to get 3-4 years.
  20. Yeah. BP has him at -13 runs (-1.3 wins) and Carruth has him at -20 runs. Wherever his true talent lies, I think we can be comfortable assuming his awful receiving eliminates most of the value his league-average bat provides. The Pirates are the kind of org that's aware of this.
  21. Oh god not Markakis
