This f***ing guy
-
Enjoy clearing your yard of eggs and toilet paper tomorrow.
-
I have never in my life given out candy on Halloween, but I've always wanted to.
-
^ owns Singleton?
-
But do they realize that as a 2-win player signed for $20M, he pretty much has no trade value? I really have my doubts.
-
I'd do that deal, but I get the impression that Colorado doesn't realize how little trade value Cargo likely has this offseason.
-
Yes. I'm pretty sure it was reported that they had budget room in 2016 and chose to use the money this way to save room on the 2017 budget. Hopefully someone can find the article.
-
I can't find the article now, but I'm like 95% sure it was reported that the $5M Toronto owed Upton would be on the 2016 books, rather than 2017. I've been treating him like league a league min player, but I'm not sure his salary even matters at all for 2017 budget purposes.
-
You're right, my numbers were wrong for the 5-10 ranked teams in 2016. I'm curious as to how you got 121 though. What did you use for Melvin Upton?
-
Are they including near-minimum salaries for guys like Osuna, Sanchez, Biagini, Travis, Pillar, and Pompey? If not, that would be the difference.
-
It's at about 117 right now for the current team, including projected arb salaries.
-
Yelich is better than Stroman, not a pitcher, and controllable for six more years at very cheap rates. I don't see the motivation at all on Miami's end. They need pitching, yes, but they don't exactly have a surplus of outfielders, so opening a hole in the OF to fill one in the rotation doesn't really make them better.
-
He said we won't be in the top 5, but should be in the next 5. Opening day, that range was about 126 to 166. The lower end of that results in a sub-0.500 season, and the upper end a playoff contender I think.

Cubs vs Indians 2016 World Series Discussion
BTS replied to FrozenRopes's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'm hoping the Indians win so we can get on with the offseason. -
but why?
-
I don't think they'll pay the money for Votto, or Stroman for Inciarte, so close to 0.
-
Yup. There's a big difference between 135 and 165, and I could see it being anywhere in there.
-
Well, the Dodgers have Seager, Pederson, Urias, De Leon, Maeda, and Kershaw as a young-ish core, which is quite a lot better than Toronto's. And the Mariners and Tigers are examples of the type of team I hope that this is for 2-3 years until they've assembled a sustainable core. Turning this roster will be delicate, and very difficult if payroll isn't well past 150M.
-
They've already added some nice pieces to the prospect pool: Zeuch, Bichette, McGuire, and Ramirez in and nobody of any consequence out. There may not be any stars there, but that's some nice improvements to the prospect depth in a year where they also made the ALCS.
-
I think they should keep doing what they've done for the last year: keep adding wins where you can without borrowing from the future. The team is going to have to find a new group of cheap core players, but I think this management team can do it without piling up losing seasons.
-
You can do this with a lot of teams. Red Sox: 37 year old Ziegler, 41 year old Uehara, 36 year old Hanigan, 41 year old Ortiz I think that, the 'oldest team in baseball' argument aside, it's a legitimate point that the players the team relies on are old. The list of players on the team who you can reasonably project close to 2 wins, are younger than 32 in 2017, and who have more than two years of team control: Travis (26) Pillar (28) Osuna (22) Sanchez (24) Stroman (26) With nothing on the way from the minors in the next two years unless you really like Tellez and Pompey. I think there's definitely a very concerning lack of young talent on the team and in the upper minors.

Jose Fernandez killed in boating accident
BTS replied to Dr. Dinger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Literally everyone knows drinking and driving is dangerous, including people who do it. Lack of education isn't the reason for the behaviour, and neither is being a selfish scummy bag of selfish scum. -

To be clear, I'm not condoning drinking and driving. I'm advocating empathy in lieu of lynching when someone makes an understandable mistake. -
