I’m going to enjoy it when Taylor gets fewer than 400 PA next year

Spanky, you're going to be more machine than man soon. Good to hear you're feeling better.

This kind of advice is why it's great to have seniors on the forum.

I’d probably keep him if I had him, but he’s not someone I’d give up anything for.

So I have 6 keeper-worthy relievers and will probably trade one of them. It will probably end up being Swarzak or Doolittle. Needs: - top-100 prospect - keeper-worthy catcher - starter better than Jason Vargas

Goins won’t be non-tendered. I’ve accepted that we’re doomed to watch him accrue sub-replacement level seasons forever.

I agree with Boxcar here. Her lips have that awful botox look that women seem to think men like but men really hate. She also wears way to much makeup, and her eyes are really far apart. Here, I'll save you morons the trouble: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/lamb_of_gir/studpost.jpg

Redmond looks very fake and unappealing to me. Never been a big fan.

This seems like a mistake. Briana Miller > the team bike.

Wrong.

A 5.30 xFIP is bad, right?

Apparently the Rangers might qualify Cashner lmao

Looked like a sellout, but I don’t think they announced attendance. Pretty impressive effort for the team without Karlsson tonight. Just couldn’t contain 8-92 in the third or shootout.

It was a great game. Should have taken the over, as it turns out.

Going to the Sens opener tonight. Playing Washington with no Karlsson = I'm expecting them to get Winnipeg'd

I've been saying that for years about he backup C position. It's been a black hole since before the Dickey trade.

Dyson would (again) be perfect. He’d be the everyday LF as the roster currently stands, and could be a perfect 4th OF if a more substantial acquisition is made.

He's the most interesting of all the mid-range starter arms available, where the team has shown a willingness to shop (Happ, Estrada). The only other guys who really grab my attention are Lynn and Garcia. Even then, I think I'd max out at two years for Cobb and Lynn and one for Garcia.

I bet the only one of those the team will be even a bit interested in is Otani. They won't definitely won't give Darvish his 150M, or Tanaka his 100M.

Man I pretty much stopped watching the Jays after the ASB. I don't even know what a Raffy Lopez, or Luis Santos, or Carlos Ramirez even is. ARE THESE EVEN REAL PEOPLE?

Some interesting arb decisions this year: Goins, Koehler, and Loup are all potential non-tender candidates.

Fernando Rodney closing games is going to end poorly at some point in the playoffs.

So I understand why Cleveland is pushing Kluber to game 2. But why not open with Carrasco instead of Bauer?

I’d personally flip Boston and New York. NL I’d probably go: LAD CHC WSH ARZ COL
