    No, I don’t believe he should have traded them in their prime. This is a stupid post.
  2. BTS
    Yeah. That’s my entire problem: he produced a core with a 2-year window. His core had two years together at its best before many of them either hit free agency or fell off a cliff. I don’t think that’s an acceptable plan for a team that has a top-10 payroll. I disagree fundamentally with that course. If Shatkins starts building around 30+ year olds on free agent contracts and ignoring spots 20-40 on the 40-man in order to open a 2-year window, I’ll call for their firing too.
  3. BTS
    I don’t understand the confusion. Why do you believe that it’s logically inconsistent to say that AA left behind an old core and also say that re-signing Bautista last year was understandable? Also, the $60M anchor at shortstop is part of that core. You forgot him.
  4. BTS
    I was just trying to be fair. The Bautista contract was completely understandable, and Pearce was an excellent move that to this point hasn’t worked out.
  5. BTS
    It’s false that he left behind an old, expensive core on the brink of collapse? What is it you think you witnessed in 2017? This me it looked like an old, expensive core collapsing.
  6. BTS
    Giving him full credit for 2016’s wild card team while pointing out that his old, expensive core breaking down was pretty much an inevitability seems pretty fair. Maybe you’re being a bit sensitive?
  7. BTS
    Shatkins has done about as well as can be expected on the FA market. Some wins (Happ, Estrada, Smith, Smoak) and some losses (Morales, Bautista, Pearce). The writing was on the wall for this core.
  8. BTS
    Well, we’re 8 full seasons from when he took over and his teams won a division title and wild card spot, and is now in the middle of a predictable down swing due to him going all in with old guys on big contracts. This minimal success despite being allowed a top-10 payroll. Those results are unacceptable. The team he assembled, given the assets available, was unacceptable. Bad GM.

    I bet someone gives Wade Davis over $40M.
  10. BTS
    Kemp for Tulo. Get it done Shatkins.
  11. BTS
    lol at MLBTR comments
  12. BTS
    He had to sell the future and double the team’s payroll for two good seasons here. I’m not expecting much success in Atlanta.

    Earlier this season Grant said that Seattle's offense has been bad for a decade and nothing has changed. People pointed out that he was wrong. Rather than admit that he was wrong (in which case this exchange would have lasted 3 posts and been forgotten forever) he did what Grant does and doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on an argument that is objectively wrong.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=16,d Let's try something Grant. Linked above you'll find all offenses ranked by their wRC+ over the last two seasons. You'll see that Seattle ranks in 2nd place. You'll also recall that you stated that they had a bad offense. Given the evidence presented, would you concede that you were mistaken? If so, please respond simply with "I was wrong" . Thx.

    Obligatory 'Get it done Shatkins'
  16. BTS
    Very slow today
  17. BTS
    What low-to-mid tier free agents do we want the team to be in on? Some names that I find interesting: C - Avila, Hundley, Iannetta INF - Walker, Cozart, Nunez OF - Dyson, Jackson, Gomez, Jay SP - Cobb, Garcia, Mikolas

    Jeff Sullivan said it best: "He was your favourite player's favourite player."

    I hope they sign Cashner and Vargas.

  21. BTS
    Am I the only one who doesn't give a single s*** about whether or not Tellez gets taken in the Rule V? This guy is going to have to mash in the majors to have any kind of value, and just put up a wRC+ of 72 in a full season at AAA. If someone wants to roster that on their 25-man, be my guest.
  22. BTS
    lol, I remember watching that game, then logging into bjmb to see if I had seen that right
  23. BTS
  24. BTS
    f***

    Thanks z3r0s! We should post this to the league constitution. Also, at least one of these things seems like a dumn way to be doing things, but it's so minor that I don't actually care enough to engage in debate/a poll about changing it.
