  1. Kind of surprised I won the Gregorius claim.
  2. A bag of balls would be a steal.
  3. “It’s not something I’m OK with. I’d rather quit and leave all the money on the table than play at a poor level,” Votto said before Sunday’s game against the Pirates. “I’m here to play and be part of setting a standard. It’s something I’ve always taken pride in. I love to play at a really high level. So far this year, it’s not been that. I will not be a very satisfied, happy person if I don’t perform at the level that I expect.” ... “I signed up for a high-level of performance. I didn’t sign up for this just to make money,” Votto said. “It’s great and I don’t take it for granted. I appreciate every dime that comes my way. I just care a great deal — desperately. I refuse to accept my peak has past, I refuse to accept that my best days are in the past. I’m not there yet. I just don’t see that, I don’t feel that.” I'm all for not reading into this stuff, but if you're going to, these comment seem only positive.
  4. North has a very small chance of making it. But really he's done.
  5. Do the Orioles Hangout folks still think Joey Rickard is a stud?
  6. If you 14-0 Spanky you might get to face your old pal BTS in round 1!
  7. The hype train is pulling out of the station. How exciting. I think I see the rotting corpse of Trayce Thompson.
  8. So does GD get fired (again) at the end of the week? Pharm team will need a scapegoat.
  9. I don't really understand why the Pharm team has been frantically buying fringe relievers with what must be a <5% chance at the playoffs. North is having a hard time accepting the fact that he's going to miss the playoffs.
  10. It's sad, because a lot of Reds fans and media are too concerned about his RBI totals to fully appreciate watching one of the best hitters to ever play.
  11. Fun fact: Joey has a higher career wRC+ than Miguel Cabrera.
  12. I think the only thing I've said was that Votto for Sanchez starts to look interesting if the Reds eat like $40M. That effectively takes him to the same salary range as the other two, and he's a far better player. I also have a serious man crush on Joey Votto.
  13. He also fits the profile of a guy at increased risk of spending half of his remaining team control working back from surgery (huge velocity, worrisome mechanics according to people who know things about mechanics). He's really good, but he's a volatile asset.
  14. I don't know how relevant Sanchez's age is. He's a pitcher under team control for 4 more years. He's probably more likely to break over the next 4 years than Votto is. I think there's absolutely a price point at which Votto is the more desirable asset, it's just not $175M.
  15. Rolling with Barrett, Biagini, Salas, and Chris Young in your pen when you're fighting for your playoff life is pretty good evidence that you don't deserve to make the playoffs.
  16. Probably more a reflection of his roster management than roster construction. He was too complacent with a bad bullpen when he should have been playing the wire, and he should have acquired a starter or two to bolster his rotation a few months ago. A grizzled vetrin manager would have taken that team to the playoffs.
  17. You have indeed clinched a playoff spot. Congrats!
  18. BB is going to miss the playoffs with the league's best offense lol.
  19. Yes, the only way it's worth trading Sanchez for Votto is if the Reds cover the entire contract. That's "I wouldn't trade Hoffman for anyone but Trout" bad.
  20. Spanky needs to help himself out. There's a very small, but nonzero chance he still misses the playoffs. He's up 10 games on me and 11 on North, and I play jays-fever while North plays Gibbers. He needs to make sure he doesn't get blown out.
  21. That trade felt wrong from the moment it was announced, especially given that Hendriks had the same ability to act as a swingman. Bad move.
