Resisting the pressure to continue pushing chips in an effort to continue to compete with the ageing core was huge. We could be the Tigers. Instead, we're two seasons from having no bad money on the books, a loaded farm, and deep 40-man.
-
I don't think he's Statman.
-
Yeah, this is an option. I would like to at least see if Jim (or anyone else) can dig up interest from another site. It would be fun to add new players to the league, and if they suck we can revisit next year.
-
lol, that’s kinda fun
-
Go ahead and try
-
I still have no idea how we’re going to handle this. It will be nice when the Jays aren’t awful and this forum is more than the same 10 people shooting the s***.
-
wow!
-
By all means
-
So my three finalists for best poster were Boxy, J4L19, and P2F. But J4L19 has just quit the forum for the 13th time, so I guess it's a two-horse race.
-
Wow, even Mrs. Boxy thinks Boxy is racist. I'm not surprised.
-
I'll be waiting to submit my ballot. Some of you will surely piss me off over the remaining two weeks of the year.

Spanky is MAD that someone doesn’t like the leaves

Drugs are bad, kids

I’m not sure what to tell you man. I saw last night that he was Canadian and it surprised me. Maybe I’d read it before and then forgot because I didn’t give a s***?
-
Caught me. I often lie on the internet about not knowing things.
-
I literally just now realized that Jordan Romano is Canadian. It all makes sense now.
-
If either of those guys had trade value they would have been traded by now. And I understand his point, I just don't think it makes any sense. There's currently 1 spot open on the 40-man. So the team has 39 guys they like more than Romano/Bergen. As soon as they make one more acquisition, which is going to happen, someone is getting punted off the 40-man. Obviously in a case where they had added Romano or Bergen, they'd be be the first to go when a 40-man spot was necessary. I still think we see 2-3 guys on the current 40 get DFA'd before April. The team is going to dip into free agency for a few players. There was clearly no chance in Shatkins' eyes that Romano or Bergen were making it through the offseason on the 40, whether they were lost in the Rule V or via a DFA between now and April. It all makes sense if you just assume that the team thinks Bergen and Romano suck. Bergen's numbers actually look good, but I can't believe the bellyaching over Romano. This guy was just a league-average pitcher in AA at 25. He's the kind of fungible replacement-level arm you can find on the scrap heap at will.
-
I think it's pretty easy to defend selecting Pompey and Urena over Romano and Bergen. You just have to believe that neither pitcher is an MLB-calibre arm, which the team pretty clearly believes.
-
The 40-man is currently at 39 players. Presumably they'll make at least a couple of additions via free agency. Obviously they made the determination that they have no interest in Romano and Bergen on the 40-man. We saw them use one of the spots those two would have taken up on Luciano, and we'll surely see the other taken by someone else in the near future. What's gained by adding two guys for a few weeks when you know you're going to be DFA'ing them?
-
There are at least 4 guys ahead of Wander Franco that shouldn't be IMO
-
Did you read this specific exchange?
-
You're upset that there are too many posts on a message board that's getting like 80 posts a day?
-
But why would he assume that's what King was talking about, and then call King a liar because he said there was an uptick in fastball velo? And even that table shows a 2-3 mph spike in velo in 2016 relative to the previous two years. It just seems like a completely absurd overreaction.
-
Grant, what in the ever living f*** are you talking about?
-
Am I taking crazy pills? Morton's velo by year: 2014 = 92.7 2015 = 92.9 2016 = 95.4 2017 = 96.0 2018 = 96.6 King said the velo ticked up in 2016 and was 100% correct.
